League of Legends Players Demand More Champion Voice Lines
League of Legends players are voicing their demand for more champion voice lines. They feel that there is a lack of new comics, stories, and lore tidbits in the game, and they believe that additional voice lines can compensate for this. However, Riot Games developers have rejected this idea.
Player Discontent in the League Community
The League community is never short of drama. Whether it’s complaints about skins, champion buffs and nerfs, or general changes, there is always something to talk about. Recently, players have expressed their dissatisfaction with the number of voice lines available in the game. They feel that League is lagging behind its rival game, Dota 2, in this aspect.
Riot’s Lack of Investment in Voice Lines
This issue gained attention on Reddit on October 24th, when a player suggested that Riot doesn’t do enough to expand its voice catalog. Many players agreed with this claim, asserting that voice lines can enhance the immersive experience and provide insights into their favorite champions. With fewer stories, books, and comic series being released, players believe that more voice lines could fill the void.
A Clash of Opinions
Some players speculated that Riot is being frugal and trying to save money by not adding anything new to the game. However, a Riot developer, Riot Praceo, quickly dismissed this claim. According to Praceo, voice lines are not the optimal means for exploring lore, as some players suggest. In fact, they can detract from the overall gameplay experience.
This is why Riot focuses on other storytelling mediums such as character stories, comics, and videos, and includes new voice lines when releasing skins. However, the Riot team acknowledges that they have yet to find a perfect balance that satisfies everyone.
So, it’s not that Riot doesn’t care about player feedback. It’s just that they have learned from past experiences that too many lengthy voice lines don’t work well. They are striving to find the right balance in future developments.
