PETITION: Four Different Dragons, Four Different Roars

Lïghtkeeper·8/4/2016, 7:41:30 PM·184 votes·6,068 views

I'm extremely let down by the fact that we have four new elemental dragons, but they all sound exactly the same when they die/roar. Their attacks are different, their looks are different, their blessings are different. Logically they all thrive in different environments: deserts/volcanic regions, underwater/swampy, mountainous, or suuuuuper high up.

This being said, they should all sound distinctly different. In the same way that the elder dragon sounds different from the normal dragons. That is thematically, yahoo!

So what should a fire/earth/water/air dragon sound like? Infernal, Mountain, Ocean, and Cloud for the nitpickers.

Infernal - Sounds basically how the dragon sounds now. Fire is always the base magic being spit from a dragon's mouth. Mountain - I imagine more of a bellowing roar, much deeper, less pitchy than the one in place now. Heavy vibrations that could literally shake the mountains. Ocean - Something throaty. It likely breathes underwater, spends a lot of time there, so it has little need for it's actual vocal chords. It would sound strained, something that could echo through water, but need to be forced above sea level. Maybe add some bubbles too for effect. Cloud - Something high pitch and screechy.

Help me out guys! Wouldn't this be much better? Thematically speaking? :O

I'm with ya bud! I'll pass this feedback along, as you're right it would be mega cool to give the dragons more distinct personalities since their elements are so different.

This is actually an incredibly brilliant idea! Riot often mentions how they want each game to feel unique, and the details like this make a HUUUUUGE difference when it comes to the completeness of a game. Filling nooks and crannies with subtle detail like what you suggested may be difficult, but ultimately it would also make for a more ensnaring experience.[slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Cloud drag needs to sound like a balloon releasing air

I made a post like this earlier, about how they should have their own spawning animations and roars/etc. Never got to the front page tho. GJ. It'd be a pretty nice touch and add some FEEL into the dragons.

Also, does anyone get triggered because the elder dragon buff flame is orange? ELDER DRAGON BREATHES BLUE FIRE.

What about Elder Drake? Sounds grand?

Elder drag should play the imperial march when he spawns.

I agree. There four dragons from completely different environments. They should get different roars.

Kind of like how 4 different humans from 4 different continents would have different accents.

I've been telling myself the same thing recently.

I would love to hear a screachy, high pitched Ocean Drake, kinda like the Nazgul's drakes in Lord of the Rings.

Definitely agree. While we're at it...ocean drakes wings should look more like large fins!

If anyone is familiar with DnD metallic dragons, just think of gold or copper dragons. Those would work much better underwater than bat-like wings.

I also heard suggestions for removing the mountain drake wings completely, which would look cool and distinguished, but wings are pretty important in mountainous terrain.

Having each of the dragons sound different would definitely be better. However, what if the ocean dragon had a sound more like a seal? (If it had seal like capabilities it would help explain how it's able to stay on land for extended periods of time, while still being able to maneuver through the ocean effortlessly. However a seal can't breathe underwater. ) Anyway great idea!

I'm on board but I want one to have some sort of Eagle-like screen rolled into the roar. I want it to pierce. I want a freedom dragon.
