In Lol there are many chamions with strange and often hard names, so how do you pronounce them.

For example

Everywhere I look people pronounce Ashe like "Ash", while I personally say Ash(e), its the same for kayle.

I pronounce it Ash and "Kail"

I had class with a girl named Ashe in college, she pronounced it just Ash.

In firefly , the girl was named Kaylee, but she had 2 e's at the end so there we pronounced it Kayleeeeee.

Since they're not real people, there is no right or wrong way. It's not like you're gonna offend them :-P

Not them, well lets just say its lucky that I dont play with others via Skype(except close friends and they pronounce it the same way as I do) or else I would probably hear things very often, Im pretty sure Ashe and Kayle arent the only ones I pronounce different. :p

Also when Im already here, what do you guys think about the login screen now(Here comes Vi)

I still wouldn't worry about being right and wrong. Sure some people may take it seriously but that's on them.

As for the login screen, I think it's ok. I turn off animation by default so I don't know what that looks like.

I refer to them as squishy slow arrow and annoying angle *****. I feel it's fitting. As long as your team knows who you're refering too all is well.

The staff of LoL even pronounces them all different. Phreak, one of the people who do champion spot lights pronounce nidalee nid - ee - ley. A game designer who creates the champions posted on the forum saying that the correct pronunciation is nid - uh - lee.

The only pronunciation that I hate is shacos. Apparently it's supposed to Shake-Oh, But I pronounce it how it is spelled, Shack-Oh. Not sure how they get Shake-Oh from that.

Nidalee i pronounce like the game designer and shaco as how you pronounce it, but I've played with people over teamspeak/mumble where the pronounce it shake-oh.
