>Previously you'd have voicelines for buying items and way more interactions with other champs. But now Riot say they won't do interactions because they are unlikely to meet ingame.
I think they still do this. Mel for example had quite a few first encounter interactions. The only thing I can really complain about when it comes to this is that there's way less skin-exclusive voicelines, and if there are any they're just vo-coded/edited original voicelines thru a filter, like the Old God skins for instance, though I'd say this is more of a marketing stunt to instead give those exclusive 'new' voicelines to Exalted skins or something to make them more special.
