I have a few OTG-isms when it comes to particular champions.

Amumu: I say "mumu" or "mu".

Blitzcrank: Has a few; Blitz-spank, Blitz-gank, OTG, BIONIC ARM! OTG, BIONIC ARM!

Dr. Mundo: I'm pretty sure it's pronounced as spelled, but I say "Moondo".

Cassiopeia: "Cassiop-ee-ah" Because I refuse to say her stupid name correctly.

Darius: Downright Daarr-ius. Watch videogamedunkey.

Draven: While I usually type his name as spelled, I seem to be the only one of my friends to say his name correctly. Not Draven. Draaaaven.

Gragas: I have no idea why I say "Gray-gus" instead of "Gra-gas".

Renekton: "Dis Renek-TAHN". Another dunkey reference.

Urgot: "ur-git" another champ I hate and say it's name wrong on purpose.

Taric: "Tear-ic", not sure why I don't say "Tar-ic"

Veigar: "Vay-gar" no explanation.

Xin Zhao: "Shin jow" which is what it's actually supposed to be, I'm pretty sure. Most people say "Zin zhao".

Zyra: "Zeer-ah" another one I just kinda say.


I'm weird, I know. >.>

This is crazy:) That's why English is a tough language as far as pronunciation vs. spelling is concerned. In my mother tongue every letter corresponds to one single sound, making pronunciation easier (okay, this is an oversimplification, but I don't want to go into detail).

I call them champions... but I call teemo ward.
If you felt I contributed or am just cool, drop me some rep +1 rep?
This and anything I say are my opinions (in no way facts), that are continually evolving as time goes on,
as I am far from an expert and always striving to learn more.
