Hmm... your name checks out!
I can't make promises on behalf of the skins team as a whole for what will or will not come out in the future but I know the team is constantly thinking about stuff like this (along with champion fit). If you do have a chance to check it out, [I Am Carlos gives a really great rundown on skins for 2019](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8lmryL_8QA) and decisions in general. I'm sorry if that's not a super satisfactory answer at the moment D: but do know it is a part of our conversations!

Hey there, thanks for the comments! I replied to the person above you but I made an adjustment per the feedback with a comparison to Live. Let me know if it's still feeling off!

Hey, sound designer here! I did another pass where that thunk is more emphasized (it actually still has elements that exist in the new sound effect but with some other stuff done to it).
Let me know if this is feeling better for you! I also have Live Mundo's SFX in there for comparison.

Hey Option Paralysis! Thanks for writing this.
The original sound designer on this and I looked at this in-game and it does seem to match what was on the skins spotlights video. We're wondering if you were referencing this video of Skins Spotlight?:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBM1eKJe51E&t
There was a previous version of a Skins Spotlight video where it had base Olaf SFX playing before it was updated for SKT-unique sounds.
Our other thought is that Skins Spotlight records these videos in an isolated area of the map where no other champion sounds are playing (also slightly zoomed in which is why the lightning looks bigger), so everything sounds bigger and more impactful. The SKT unique sounds are leveled to be around the same volume as base Olaf.
Let me know if this isn't the issue you are referring to though! We're happy to look into it further if there's something we're missing on our end. Thanks!

Hey DerMangoJoghurt! I'll take a look at adjusting volume levels here - the audio levels between the these Lancer Q's and the base Blitz Q are actually pretty similar, but the base Blitz Q is definitely pretty high pitched and instantly recognizable, especially since that's such an iconic spell too.
Looking through his kit, I'll make some volume tweaks to see if it'll help!

Let’s not let this conversation Dove tail into something else - we’re talking about audio here!! It Dawns on me that my summoner name may indicate otherwise but, to be Honest, I’m not the greatest person to Axe about this kind of stuff.

This was actually a coincidence that it happened around the same patch as our sound engine update. BUT yeah, we're looking into making it happen at a better cadence yet more frequently than it used to be. Hopefully we'll find a happy medium! Thanks for taking the time to chat + bring this up!

I'm not the greatest with code/patching but I'll poke around to see if there's any info I can find for this!
As for the sound card - could you navigate to the Advanced Settings of your sound card and see what the Default Format is set to (it should give a sample rate and bit depth, maybe something like 16 bit, 44100Hz)?
I think that would live under Properties > Playback > Advanced tab, though I actually have not used Windows 7 or 8 so I'm not sure if it lives in the same place.

hey hey! This was actually a bug - these lines **do** exist and have since launch, but the frequency of them was really, really low before. However, there was a change in something else that inadvertently changed this frequency. A few folks and I are investigating and will hopefully have this fixed by next patch! Sorry for this. :)

Hmm.. that's bizarre. What is your computer setup like? It sounds like this may be an audio overclocking issue, meaning sample rate of your PC and LoL are acting funky and incompatible. Do you have any special sound cards? What's your PC audio running back as?

Hey Nataleenie,
Like KestrelGirl mentioned, there were some things that got wonky as we updated our sound engine, sorry about that. There are some ways the engine processes certain kinds of audio differently now, so we're adjusting things accordingly (but then finding out it affects other things along the way and having to adjust those as well).
Nexus blowing up for sure was turned down - there were a couple layers of things happening that made that so super loud, but the fix should be on PBE now.

> Is there any concern at all that her SSG skin might end up too similar to her Frejlord skin if her skin tone remains as dark as her base? I understand why the team might want to avoid "whitewashing" Taliyah by making her skin tone lighter, but the color schemes for the two skins are already super close without the skin tones being closer. Another of Stellari's tweets says Taliyah's SSG skin has already received multiple tweaks - I'm not going to ask for details, but do any of those tweaks address this concern?
Hey Anonagon!
Yes, your concern is definitely one that we have talked about and have been/are keeping in mind. :)

Hey Sexy Jack Rabbit! (I feel awkward saying your name... haha)
We're not looking to pale Taliyah's skin color! [For more context, this is from our product manager for SSG skins.](https://twitter.com/thejanellemj/status/971089277655248897)
EDIT: whoops I said "darken" at first - correction, we are not looking to make her skin color paler!

That would be the incredibly talented EdtheConquerer! He's working on some really cool stuff coming down the pipeline, but the most recent thing he did was for [PROJECT: Hunters!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvmIf9CzIw8)

Hey hey! Yeah, volume changes for Kat (to be louder on this skin) will be shipped out on 7.22 patch. That was my bad - we changed it right when things were switching from PBE -> Live so it's a little trickier when things are in progress. It is currently on PBE right now, if you have access!
|

D'aw, thanks :D That means a lot!
Yeah, it's definitely more masked/harder to hear on this DS skin, I think the element I put on it. I chatted with a couple folks and we're going to discuss it, especially since it is a gameplay-related sound. Thanks for bringing this up! If things do change for this, I'll give you an update and we'll throw it into the patch notes!

Hey Daunt,
Yay, glad it's working better! Hmm, so she does have a passive reset sound, on this, base, and her other skins, but it can be tricky to hear sometimes. I'll chat with some folks on the audio team to get their thoughts, as it would affect more than just DS Kat.

That's my bad - a lot of moving parts in releasing a patch after PBE transitions to Live, so it's going to be shipped out next patch.

> In my opinion, the R SFX was really cool and i liked it. And if anything i thought the dagger pickup should sound even louder than it did. I think she's still suppose to sound deadly even thought she's a ghost now and i really think you nailed putting together Kats deadly SFX with the harrowing theme before that last update happened.

> And thank you again semipriceysoap, you've been such a huge help with both feedback and making the skin feel good to play.
:D yay, glad those changes made Kat feel better! I did tone down some of the R brightness, but the volume overall is coming back up. Chatting with our release team, it may unfortunately not come out until next patch (7.22) to live but should be on PBE now. She was volume balanced against the current base Kat so should be around the same.
Thanks for all the constructive feedback! :)

Hey Daunt, sorry about those! Those sounds you mentioned are still there for Kat and there will be a fix to the volumes (mainly R). I was getting a lot of complaints that it was too harsh/loud and overcorrected. Changes were made after the cutoff time for PBE transitioning, so I'll have to double check when it actually releases out to live servers.

Hi FacerollKatarina!
Death Sworn Katarina actually does currently have voice effects! However, it was a bit difficult to hear, so I added some sound effect elements to it when she speaks. It didn't go out with the original PBE release, but should be on PBE now if you have access or wanna watch some PBE streams with her in it. :) Hope that addresses this!

Hey Daunt, thanks for the feedback! I'm working on cleaning up/tweaking Kat sounds based on these sort of comments so I appreciate the specificity of the notes on what's feeling off - so thank you!

Hello!
Thanks so much for the nice comments! :) Got it, I'm making some tweaks to Katarina's E and other spell sounds so can take a look at this as well. Hoping to push it out to PBE today!

Hello!
So I know that YouTube compresses videos automatically for it to stream properly. I'm not 100% sure how much is lost in between the export and the upload, but it definitely exists.
The Soundcloud upload doesn't need a video to be attached to it, so their conversions are much less and it's closer to the native export of the track.
Hope that makes sense!
