Champion interactions should occur when champions meet, not through taunting

When was the last time you used one of the many interactions (taunt) certain champions have with other champs? Enemies are not going to stand still while you try to taunt them.

It would be really cool to hear DM Darius spontaneously telling Draven he was adopted! Don't you think so??

I agree, taking the time to taunt someone while playing the game is not a smart choice, but I would like to hear those taunts. Specially because every new skin with new VO and VU champions have some character-character interactions.

I go out of my way to taunt enemies that have special interactions. It adds another layer to the game when two champions suddenly begin talking to each other. Interactions make an otherwise mundane match into a much more personal affair.

Last interaction I successfully initiated was as Renekton against Nasus. Hearing him shout, "YOU ARE NOT MY BROTHER, TRAITOR!" made the lane feel terribly poignant.

I think they should have both.

Special taunts and automatic interactions.

Like you said you don't have time to joke/taunt the enemy especially if it is someone you don't meet in your lane,but special taunts make the taunt a bit cooler anyway.

I always taunt Katarina and Darius as Garen whenever I can.

"EXTEND THE HAND OF NOXUS...PULL BACK A STUMP!"

and of course...

"1001, 1002...OH! I didn't see you standing there"

It's troublesome to taunt someone in order to hear the special interaction.

Champion should occur like Hero interactions in DotA 2. But that would also require planning.

Several Hero's in DotA have lines prepared for unreleased Heros.

In League, Vi has interaction with Caitlyn, but Caitlyn has none with Vi outside of a debuff. Neither have any with Jinx.

And barely any of them have interactions with Jayce, Ezreal, Heimerdinger and Ziggs.

I thought it would be more satisfying if it was done if you killed the person, to add salt to the wound ya know? Would especially be more satisfying if everyone nearby heard you taunt the enemy you killed as well

When you kill somebody on Veigar, he does a maniacal laugh :P

Last I checked, that was bugged.

If you kill Darius as Garen with Demacian Justice he yells "DEMACIA!".

Heroes of the Storm does a lot well with making different champion interactions with other champions

I'm just saying, League can learn from other MOBAS.

Like Dawngate and its treatment of lore. Rest in Peace you beautiful MOBA.

It's because of Heroes of the Storm that I'm away from League for so long. Now, I'm considering to spend money on Heroes of The Storm because of their awesome content!

It won't kill Riot to find inspiration by playing other games.

DOTA: Warcraft 3 Mod

And, Riot worries itself on copying from Blizzard, when it all started with Warcraft....

I'm glad I played Warcraft 3 as a kid.

I only just recently watched Archengeias (Lorerunner as how he is called now on youtube) Lorerun of Warcraft 3. Its really good and I can see the gradual birth of WOW in it and the MOBA genre.

Warcraft is one of those pinnacle games that leave behind a legacy.

It's always good to get back to the basics. Maybe Riot should just look back to the past, and try to redesign their ideas in order to better fit their Lore standings.

Never underestimate the power of the scouts code.

I think it can help ease your nerves with a bit of cheese that is different from a normal taunt. For example: I was playing Braum and being chased down by 3 members of the other team, one of which was a Tryndamere, I remembered that he has a special taunt for Trynd, pressed it, and Braum gave a funny quip that made dying less annoying. Braum "Are you having fun, my friend?"

I have laugh and taunt linked up to the z and x buttons.

You better believe I mash those buttons constantly.

Bonus points with Sejuani- chasing an enemy with the "Flee like the coward you are" taunt lined up.
