So, i Made that Tierlist , but i think i Have one or two more things to explain.

##Red tier : These characters are very well defined, we can understand them , their fear, their problems, but also their joy. They are well written and it's easy to think about their personality. Their voices are a pleasure to hear and gives a lot of immersion.

##Orange : these are not as good as the others, but they give a sufficient insight,, their personality are well defined. I can still think of them properly , and understand them. they might be a little bit extreme or may have something that dont let me understand the entire aspect of their personality, over MANY repeated games... it might get redundant, but it's really not a problem for most people.

##Orange but ... yellower : These are just barely defined. they are quite redundant and helps a lot. Their voice over doesn't really helps the game, but it doesn't drag it down either. It's just ... no exceptional.

##Blue : These one don't feel right. they don't feel "real" , it's hard to believe in them. I take Renekton as a good example. Mental instability have to be felt, just like Warwick straight up stops talking. I just don't understand, it's like you forced rage into the character.

Irelia don't feel broken and fighting against an enemy too strong for her, I don't believe in her sadness, i don't believe in her words. she doesn't feel like a leader.

Others have similar problems sometimes it interferes with the story..

##Yellow : these feel old, you get easily bored and they don't help understanding the champion whatsoever (except for some) they all need a new voice acting and story.

Green:

Maybe the most urgent ones. these one may have lines that are completely off, out of character (mainly lore), or are old ones that really have something that havent aged well and.

Keep in mind that these are just for feedback , if ou want my precise reason to why champion "X" is in the "Y" tier just ask it in comment, i'll do my best replying to you.

I would put nidalee in green. Nidalee in lore never really truly learned to speak, she can speak simple phrases when needed, nothing to the extent of "did I mention, its mating season" or "Let me show you the way". Realistically her english would be closer to neeko, more broken, heavier accent, mispronouncing words, and using simpler words, etc. Something closer to "Let mé shoow the way tto you"

Blitzcrank Blitzcrank has to be in green. His voicelines are always talking about crushing fleshlings, but in the lore he is an everyday hero saving people from the many dangers in Zaun. His voice over is the complete opposite of what he is supposed to represent in lore.

Orianna The same applies to Orianna, she has to be in green. Keeps talking about how much fun it is to kill people and that she doesn't understand how humans function. But she has been human, she knows emotions. And she is an angel in the lore, she sacrificed everything to rescue some children in Zaun she didn't even know and her own father.

Ezreal I would put him one tier higher, his personality is well defined since his update imo. Cocky young guy and this comes across pretty well.

Ziggs Why don't you believe his character, if I may ask? I think it is sufficient. He is a pyromaniac, but with some sense left in him.

I think you judge the Yellow tier a bit unjustly, or perhaps with some bias against them.

Their VO has existed for a good 6-9 years and when you compare them with modern VO they obviously wouldnt stand a chance. But that should not hinder the quality of the VO as it is. Their VO may be old and under the hypothetical that it could be re-done and done better, the current VO still expresses the champion as they were intended to be like when they were made and released in those days. And for most, they're still as similar to thier released self as they are in League today. Like Trundle, Alistar, Lissandra, Brand, Nasus and a lot more.

To simplify the point in trying to get across, criticizing the quality of these champion's VO is like criticizing the VFX of an old horror, action or adventure movie. Like it meets the standards (although in most cases, it'd be more like the limitations) of its time. Yet this obviously doesn't impact the quality of the overall film, it doesn't suddenly become an inadequate movie.
