Here’s the real reason why Riot doesn’t want to add commentator packs to LoL
Rioter reveals why they don’t want to add commentator packs to LoL.
The topic of various commentary packs that would make the game more attractive is discussed quite often. It is not surprising, since they were announced by the creators of LoL and quickly gained great popularity and a number of fans.
Ultimately, however, Riot Games withdrew from the project. First, the designers explained it with the well-known situation in the world and various restrictions, and now… with the production costs due to the outdated system in the game.
The cost of producing commentator packs
Probably every League of Legends player who follows the games of professionals once dreamed to feel the emotions flowing from the screams of commentators after their own action. Although this is a small element that hardly anyone pays attention to, new voices could change it.
The creators delayed the start of work on it and, as fans are now noticing, they are looking for various excuses to not start them at all. Now it finally turns out that there is a big problem with it, as the game code and the system responsible for it are outdated. For this reason, the implementation of comments will be associated with high costs. KenAdamsNSA told about it on his Twitter account.
Perhaps it’s about smoothly changing voices for an individual player. Probably those who have more experience with the game perfectly remember the comments of Pyke or Aurelion Sol, which were an announcement of their release, and there were no problems with that.

This is another example of the fact that the old solutions from 10 years ago limit the development of LoL. Developers often inform the community that something cannot be done due to old code or poorly polished mechanics, and changing it will cost too much.
This is one of the reasons why there are some strange bugs in the game, already known as “spaghetti code”, where improving one element involves introducing another bug.
