LoL Patch 13.13 – New Varus Voice-Over

After Varus already got a visual overhaul in 2021, the ADC is now to get a fresh voice-over as well. The team that conceived the new voice lines was inspired by Varus’ personality in the Legends of Runeterra card game, among other things.

thank you! I’ll answer the first question~

yes! worked with @rnoelliams to envision how LoL and LoR Varus would fit together. i aimed for LoL Varus to be the midpoint between Varus’ colder, crueler self that we see in his comics, and his more humane, unified self in LoR https://t.co/5oON6LHYGG

In addition to the revamped voice lines, new interactions with other champions are also likely to be added.

For example, a new line from Varus taunts the spelling of Aatrox’s name:

Aatrox, brother, the double A thing is absurd and you know it.

You can listen to all the new voice lines before the patch is released in the video by (SkinSpotlights) 

 

LoL Patch 13.13 – Notes on “Naafiri “

Hidden in Varus’ new voice-over are some cynical sayings as well as a few clues that tell us a bit more about the next planned champion, “Naafiri “

Hounds, Naafiri? You make me grateful for my vessels.

While there have been some rumours about this before, this new voice line from Varus now seems to confirm it. Naafiri will be some kind of canine creature (Hound) or at least be able to take on a dog or wolf-like form.

These (other information) are known about Naafiri so far:

• Darkin from Shurima
• Assassin played in the Midlane
• possibly has multiple bodies / can change shape.
• more “simple” skill kit
