Orianna is in desperate need of a new VO.

In her lore Orianna helps Zaunites after a deadly chemical leak and contracts a deadly disease because of it. It's so bad that she has to keep replacing parts of her body because they keep becoming corrupted.

Orianna is intelligent, curious, lonely, and most importantly, kind. Her VO is a relic of a different era and does NOT fucking reflect who she is at all. There is 0 connection between what she says in game and who she is in the Universe.

Examples...

""Yes, I am a weapon." What? No you're not. You're just a lonely, cute cyborg girl.

""We will kill your enemies. That will be fun."

WHAT??? She doesn't like to kill people at all! She prefers the exact opposite!

""I know what makes them tick. I know how to make the ticking stop."

Another line showing her nonexistent sociopathy.

And then there's a bunch of lines about her basically having no fucking idea what a human is and why they explode into bits when she sends her ball careening into their soft, fleshy bodies. She was a human. She knows how they work.

"Why do they keep breaking?"

"They come apart so easily. How do you put them back together again?"

"So strange, they scream."

Please, god, fix her VO. She's not Frankenstein's monster. She's a kind, brilliant girl in the body of a robot.

I've got a feeling this is a response to the Lee Sin VO. But unfortunately this probably isn't gonna be the beginning of a slew of much-needed VO's. It's just because Vic Mignogna did the voice for Lee, and for some reason Riot felt the need-- months after his controversy has died down-- to cut him out of their game.

So at best, we'll probably see Malzahar get a new voice since Vic did him too.

Nevermind the fact the actually bad allegations were proven false, and the others are legitimately non-sexual ways he's interacted with fans. But hey, Riot execs somehow feel the need to do somethin' like this for moral brownie points, I guess. Nevermind the lack of information they're willing to give us about the allegations against their company that are seeming more truthful the more info we get.

I guess their HR people aren't actually humans and so somehow can't understand that pulling a stupid stunt like this while in the middle of your own scoundrel isn't gonna take eyes OFF of them.

likely wont be getting one in a while. there are reasons I'm sure you know that explain why Lee sin got one while she did not

anyway, Orianna is not really there anymore. at least not the same Orianna. with every part that went away, she lost some of herself. with her heart gone, the little girl we knew went away. now it's Orianna of Clockwork, a robot with the distant memories and emotions of a human, curious and just wanting someone to relate to

definitely not a sociopath, quite the opposite, but so much more than a girl with a robot body. as ber quote goes.

“When a moth emerges from its chrysalis, does it remember its life as a caterpillar?”

I agree with OP. I main the fuck out of Orianna, and it's mildly irritating that her voice lines are very conflicted with her current lore. Now i've read the lore, both old and new, and I definitely prefer the new lore. Would prefer Riot replaced some of the more malicious sounding quotes with lines emphasizing Orianna's curiosity, creativity, or desire for personal progress, or connection instead.

That said, if they change her voice lines then Bladecraft Ori's voice should stay the same. Now that's a skin that says "i'm a killing machine that just happens to be shaped like a girl". All the other Oris can change. Even Dark Star.

And she is not the only one. Blitzcrank is another champion very similar to her. In lore, he is a AI capable of adapting to his surroundings, making weapons from anything and using them against the evil-doers and in voice quotes "The time of man has come to an end"..how..how is that any relevant? Idk! Someone would say that he is an old champion and thus he has quotes that are not from the current lore but then again, they added a movement voice quote on lancer paragon skin saying "Magic and steam guide me.". Since you did add a voice line recently why not update all the voice quotes?! Same should happen with Orianna and if you ask me, both of them should get Voice updated on the same day, cause they are very similar.

That's why i hate massive retcons...

Riot, don't do that, for the love of god.

wait I had no clue they rewrote her lore from that of a dudes daughter who was killed while training for summoners rift when a tower that shouldn't have been active was and blew her to pieces and the dude being a clockwork guy made this shell of a ballerina cause she was one, out of clock gears and steampunk stuff. That lore sounds like a watered down version of Camille plus a cliche hero ideal.

However, she does indeed need a new VO for sure. Nothing makes sense anymore really. A VU would do her justice as well. I honestly dont think we need more new champs. We're reaching the limit where either more bans need to be added or serious balance work needs to take place.

...ok I'm going off on too many tangents- also nice name!
