More VO for older champs?

So a here's a thought I had when looking at Kled's interactions: Why not update older champion's audio interactions? For example, Twitch really only has around 5 minutes of VO total. But Kled's got roughly 20 minutes total, and Aurelion Sol has 30 minutes! I know it would be a bit of a hassle to connect with the voice actors again and implementing it in the game but it could help some of the older champions appeal and make their gameplay more interesting. Thoughts?

Also, I'd be interested in what replies would be done if this happened, such as what Katarina would say to Kled, or Singed to Zac, etc.

I think it'd be a hassle to reconnect, so they'd probably have to be overhauled entirely. I wouldn't mind seeing this for reworked champs like Karma, Annie, Sivir, Trundle, Nidalee, and the 6300 champs. I'd also like to see this done for the retextured champs as well, like they did for Cassiopeia, so the likes of Singed, Miss Fortune, Alistar, and Maokai, who most likely won't be seeing any VGU work for a while.

I think the stated goal somewhere was they're doing this sort of thing by priority. The champions that need a total rework first then after those are all done whose gameplay is fine will get touch ups in VO and VU then probably they'll get to just new VO.

That said I think a lot of VO will be more than just a few added lines but a complete overhaul. It's tough to get people to come back for a gig many probably don't even remember they did. So it's probably easier to just hire new actors and record whole new set of dialogue.
