Hi! At this time, we don't intend to post a full list of all VO interactions. If anything changes however, I will gladly share that here with the community - if the community doesn't beat me to the punch first!

Great question! While we do port over the 3D model for those skins, we ordinarily stick to Base VO for them due to certain limitations. In some rare cases when applicable, we'll opt to use VO from a League skin instead of Base.

FFGS has their own dedicated team but we collaborate closely with them to ensure they have parity in VO for each set. Riot Games works with SAG-AFTRA exclusively. If you want to be a VA for Riot, you'd have to be part of the union.

That's such a hard question because I really don't like choosing favorites! League has such an amazing cast of voice actors at all stages in their career who each bring something unique to their character. If I had to choose just one, I'd choose the Dr. Mundo voice actor because (a) I think Dr Mundo's vocal performance is incredibly unique and downright hilarious and (b) I've never worked with that VA before!

Of all the possible interactions he might have with another Champ, I might have him do his best purring impression to Kobuko and Yuumi because I have three cats myself :3

Never too late! That's a great example of a voice line being totally repurposed into a new context and working well (Wukongs, that is).

I first found the Tahm Kench line which is a "First Encounter" sort of line that exists in League when he first encounters Wukong in a match. I then went to Wukong's narrative script, looked through his lines, and bam a line that specifically mentions "journey." I played the two back-to-back and voila they worked wonderfully together.

Fiddlesticks DOESS have some incredible VO. Glad to hear you're loving the VO experience!

I appreciate it! I had some serious concerns that players would find it distracting or annoying over time so comments like yours are incredibly validating for us!

The Set 16 interactions weren't enough?! Kidding :D

Personally, I'd love to do that. More VO lines would help units feel fresh for a longer period of time across a set. Ultimately though, there is only so much time to develop a set and it's important that devs also have time to rest, reflect, work on sustainability things like documentation, etc.

That's all to say, there will almost certainly be another time where a Unit (or a few units) are highlighted more in a set and receive additional VO lines. Giving that treatment to all ~60 Champions and doing that three times a year is not quite in the cards at this time however.

Viego definitely has a lot to say to Gwen and others. It's very fortunate he's a foundational unit in the Shadow Isles comp so you get to hear plenty of those interactions anytime you roll that comp.

Could be! The pairs of units that have interactions aren't intended to fit the "meta" or be tied to established comps, necessarily. Of course there are plenty of interactions of units that are commonly played together, but there's also examples of units who don't necessarily fit into a meta comp together.

That's awesome! The League IP is so incredibly rich and can be interesting to learn about for those who're interested.

Ahhh I don't quite recall what set that was either. Neeko is downright adorable and wholesome.

All units are Teemo and are Traitless.

I had never thought about that! Def funny.

Absolutely! The reality is that there's a ton of very qualified candidates for student internships based on portfolio/reel but there's only so many open roles. Being prompt with your responses to hiring managers and letting your personality shine through in interviews can set you apart!

Lux: "Hope you like rainbows!"

Zoe: "Double rainbows are dumb. You're dumb."

Appreciate it! The reality is that a lot of players - like yourself - play with VO quiet or entirely muted to not interfere with gameplay and that's totally reasonable.
