ChemtrailEUNE

Sion's and Kled's ultimates

I very often listen to music while playing and I dislike the game sounds trashing the music, so I turn it down. During these games, I got caught by a Sion more than by anything else...

Other than a few situations like that, I don't really experience any issues. It definitely doesn't affect my games too much, otherwise I wouldn't do it. A truly deaf person might have a different perspective (although /u/ArtsmeiH claims it's fine for him), but for me who plays a lot without sounds, it's fine mostly.

(replying to a higher comment thread for vis) Merry Christmas to you too, /u/BUNKYRAY and /u/ChemtrailEUNE! :D

Audio coordinator here. Thanks for bringing this up! This is something we've been ruminating on for a bit of time (a few Rioters have brought this up before to the audio team and sound designers have discussed it as well - pinging /u/rioteno and /u/riotampson if they had additional thoughts). Since it does have some gameplay implications, it's a little tricky to immediately change this on champs who currently have global audio cues live, but we definitely want to be careful on how we use these moments moving forward. What we could we do in the place of it, etc. That's not to say these currently live global cues WON'T change, but it's still a discussion being had and involves more than the audio department.

Thanks again for pointing this out - it is important to remember these things when developing the game for all our playerbase!

I've seen it twice before your post - OP, I need you to tell me this: did the Teemo against you have the Omega Squad thing?

In all three occurrences of the bug, there was a Teemo. In the previous two, he had that skin. And Teemo was the only champion in common in the first two games.

Also, completely irrelevant note, was that a Zoe with Press the Attack there?

Oooh, this is super interesting... and odd, haha. Thanks for this note! Definitely a good start on tracking this bug down. :)

I love you guys.

For me it'd be Cho Gath's E active. You see this massive spike of pure fucking awesomeness like jesus just took a shit and threw it at you. Then there's the PPPASHHHHEEWWWWWWW as it flies at you and fucking annihilates you like my stepdad.

I ran into Riot Soundbear in an ARAM and we added each other. He was telling me how he made the sounds for Project Ashe and I was amazed.

He's the king of mouth wub wubs!

Maybe this a good thread to post it on as its related to sound...

Does ANYONE know where to find the "song" on the role-select menu when playing draft/rank? When you go to pick your role but before you confirm if you turn up your volume theres a song

Not many people notice it - its kinda like a wooshing wind sound with a bird that makes for great study music

Hey /u/Tiefman! I think you're talking about ambience of the client/party lobby. It's unfortunately not something we can officially release by itself as anything standalone - it's a bit complicated.

Some similar things you can search on Youtube: nature ambience quiet nature audio quiet wind ambience

This seems kind of close: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNN7iTA57jM

It's a bit hard since a lot of nature ambiences have constant insects/birds but hopefully you'll find something you like!

And then you load into an ARAM on a patch and all you can hear are Xayah feathers and you have to turn all the sound down because otherwise you can't hear your friends in Discord over the broken sounds....-

... Sorry D: fix is coming, I swear!

;_____; <3 there are also many wonderful Riot teams that don’t get much visibility from players but we really appreciate all the love!!

Actually their sound design might be good the implementation into the game is mediacore.

Interesting video: https://youtu.be/ocbfYBslseI

Hey! You (and that video) definitely are not wrong - this is a very big and active discussion we are having. It’s partly why we are transitioning to the new audio engine (which resulted in some unfortunate bugs we are fixing for next patch- rip nexus explosion). It’s a long term project (there are so many variables) we are continuously thinking about and doing and we hope it’ll make the gameplay have more clarity. (Here’s another statement in parentheses for good measure.)

Tiefman

Hey thats pretty good thanks. Did you work on the lobby ambience?

I didn’t - /u/Riot_Eno did! He’s a masterful sound designer :)

This is so freaking rad!! Nice work! Thanks for sharing! :D

(Now someone make a 1 hour version of this pl0x)

BWAAANNNNNG :O

So the Mundo Cleaver-hit noise should NOT be changed, imo. The preview Q seems to have a much higher pitched hit noise, but the current sound is one of the most iconic and satisfying aspects of mundo's kit. Please don't change it. I like the rest of the Q changes except the impact sound.

hey hey! Sound designer here (sorry for being late). Thanks for the comments - I did end up changing the SFX based off some feedback. It's in the second video on the original link to this!

Hey there! I did the updates for Dr Mundo SFX but didn't knowingly touch anything of his Q on-hits, so will take a look. This is definitely a bug - sorry about that!

ProbablyNotTabofren

Woah didn't think this would reach a Rioter. Thanks alot!

Thanks for pointing it out! :)

This is so rad!!! Super cool, especially since this only came out a couple days ago - you're a fast one. :D

Holy crap, these are beautiful! <3 <3
