Strange question, but has there ever been a league character where you don’t think their voice fits their design or narrative? Like, when you first saw the character you had a picture of how they sound like until they actually speak and it’s like “Huh.” I love your work by the way.
im not dead yet.
Okay this is a hard question so.
Honestly in the set of how i expected them to sound like and then hearing the actual piece Qiyana has the crown. I cannot stand her and as a person who lives in a colonizer country i must let people who know better than me speak about how Qiyana feels so akward. I wont express my thoughts about it but i talked to a mutual when Qiyana was released (they live in a latin american country) and considered her interactions and some of her lines to be considerately racist or mockery, i wont overextend about that cause again, im not one to precisely speak. I can talk about her personality and i feel it so dettached to her lore cause i dont understand why they gave her Akali copy and paste personality, i think she needs ironically more sass. She feels dull, unsavory, you barely get anything from her lore in her lines, if anything Qiyana suits good on her True Damage skin maybe with that kind of personality, but it clashes roughly with her lore at least in my opinion. I guess they tried to run with the 'make her iconic and bitchy' thinking people will love her instead of threading her lore and lines together. The only good thing i can give her is her joke line with the hiccups, thats funny.
In other set as a champion that i did know how they sounded like yet i still feel a bit misplaced about is Teemo. I guess thats normal since he hasnt gotten any lore updates in like. Never. Its kind of a bother that he looks like a blank sheet of paper and partially its because of the meme/community image of Teemo, he has no personality besides random lines about being a scout and being fast and thats very sad. It is why Omega Squad Teemo is such a good skin, it felt so unexpected for Teemo to actually get a dramatic/intense skin lore, its the way most people who like Teemo views his lore in Runeterra, Omega Squad personality just lighter and more whimsical maybe. Hopefully we get something with his update althrough i think its only visual, yet im also afraid they might leave his personality as a white sheet of paper with random lines if they get updated.
I would say Rumble sounds weird if i did actually remember any of his lines but i think they're like 2 minutes of very small lines in a loop and probably the longest is his death animation voice. Boohoo.
