Responding to a flood of criticism over the alleged use of AI in a League of Legends video announcement, Riot Games said on Thursday that the voice-over issues were not due to the use of AI but rather due to a lack of “proper direction” given to the human voice actor.

Riot Games, when Decrypt inquired, pointed to a post on the League of Legends Wild Rift Twitter account that provided an update on the situation.

“Hey everyone, a few days ago we released a Sivir tutorial video to showcase to our players,” Riot Games said on Twitter. “In the video, we did not give proper direction to our voice actor, leading to the mispronunciation of Sivir’s name. This is on us, and we will make sure things like this don’t slip through the cracks in the future.”

The drama started on November 23, when the League of Legends Wild Rift account posted an announcement video focused on the game character Sivir, which the voiceover pronounced as “severe.”

“Could have hired any of the iconic, talented voices working on Wild Rift or League Of Legends for the voiceover,” Korizon Esports co-founder Ashley Kang responded on Twitter. “I would have preferred it and felt more engaged watching this.”
