@maxterdexter:
Not playing but: she doesn't seem to fit with the world. Too advanced for the tech level of the canon apareances of the technological characters. Kind of getting in the fantasy space of vayne and Caitlin, the driven hero borderline superhero but the disciplined kind.
Yeah we have the ton of skins with a tech look on them, iBlitz, the first expensive one of ezreal, and the bunch of project ones. Its a wild jump from the existing "world" technology apareance wise.
The theme with her abilities is cool though. It all fits together in a "judge" vibe.
I agree with you, if we compare Camille with Caitlyn, Ezreal or Jayce she will look way more futuristic, perhaps Orianna is the closest character regarding the futuristic design that Camille has.
Camille is not "steampunk-ish" enough to fit Piltover, she is more a mix of judge dredd and batman, but you see, Piltover is not that outdated, maybe they started to upgrade their technology to the point where Camille's concept is viable.
Since the Project skins are not canon, I am eager to see what will Riot do with this concept, since is a stretched jump to the current canon technology, anyway, she outclass Caitlyn in crime fights.

Camille Discussion
With Camille revealed and on the PBE for testing, several Rioters have been on the boards and reddit discussing our latest champion!
[hide]
When asked how her passive decides between the type of of shield to give, Riot Jag noted:
"Quote:
how is her passive determined?
Good question! Camille essentially understands every champion's PvP premitigation damage (before resistances) that they've done throughout the entire game, and also understands her own resistances. She combines this information to determine the best shield she should get. So, for example, if Jax has somehow built a lot of AP but is still doing more Physical damage, she will probably get a Physical shield unless she has very high armor.
TL;DR Camille gets the best shield to defend her against the champion she hits."
When asked if Camille's R originated from a scrapped Fiora R concept that was mentioned in the past, Meddler shared:
"Camille's ult follows a similar thought process to some of those old Fiora ults, it's not one of them directly though. The variations on that theme we tried with Fiora were both longer duration and much more exclusionary. In Fiora's case it was about creating a situation where no one could interfere, in Camille's case having your team save you's very much part of the expected counterplay."
Meddler added:
"Quote:
No, it's not, because everyone else can enter it at will after the initial knockback.
they both have their strengths and weaknesses.
There's definitely some similarity to J4's ult, there were a number of ways we felt we could keep the two distinct though:
J4 - AOE, upfront damage with a large ratio, terrain that continues to block others, CC immunity while using
Camille - Single target, knocks other enemies out, can be re-entered, on hit steroid, brief untargetability while using"
Reav3 also clarified Camille's class as a diver:
"Shes a Diver"
Reav3 added:
"Quote:
So seeing how there's plans for a Diver class update sometime next year (either midseason or preseason), does Cami represent Riot's modern vision of what a Diver is? You know, similar to how Nasus represented Riot's vision of what a Juggernaut is. I'm just curious to see if Cami is the direction Riot plans to push Divers. Obviously, I doubt she's the ideal Diver.
I mean it be pretty bizarre to release a new Diver then push the rest of the class in a different direction.
Yes! She is a pretty good representation of the direction we want to take with Divers in the future."
For a change of pace, Riot C3Sound

"Hey SpecterVonBaren!!
Thanks so much :3 Really appreciate the kind words!
I had an idea to try and automate the robot processing in and out of the clean voice based on our talent's voice intensity. The higher the intensity in volume, the more the robotic elements would poke out. As she dropped back down into her normal range in the recordings, the processing would die away.
However, the story behind the processing is an interesting one. Ill go ahead and be completely forward with you and spill the beans. Even thought I knew what I wanted to try before I started, I landed on this voice processing not by 100% understanding exactly what I was doing…
Warning: I am totally about to geek out here, so if you are curious or an audio nerd… continue on...
To get a little technical, and if you're and audio person you'll probably follow a bit better, you utilize a dummy track of the VO that doesnt play into your main signal. This dummy track controls a compressor that pulls the volume down on your clean voice track based on how loud the dummy track gets. Every time the dummy track peaks over a set volume, the compressor kicks in and pulls the clean voice volume down. Then on your robot style processing, you use a gate plug-in that is controlled by when the previously mentioned compressor plug-in kicks in. When the gate opens, the robot voice comes through and blends with the clean voice over. Cue hours of tweaking settings and parameters until it blends realistically.
To execute all of this it can get a little complicated - especially when you combine how to make the robot voice (it actually caused a lot of really interesting technical secondary issues), but what's really neat about this technique is that you are not combining the two voices without at least subtracting from one. If you just had the robot voice kick in without turning the clean track down, you would have wildly loud voice over with the two played together, and quiet voice when it was just the clean. This technique automates this process for you and creates a fairly seamless blend of the two voices, and its done by utilizing the natural performance of the talent to do so. Sweeeet.
I have to keep some of you in suspense and keep the recipe for the "robot voice" a mystery, but the real meat to this technique is how to blend the two voices. ;P
The reason why it was an accident was because I literally had no clue on actually how to do this as I was attempting to do it haha. I literally just bumbled through things that I thought seemed reasonable to achieve the end result of this processing chain idea. Once it seemed to work, I walked myself backwards through the chain and tweaked out the stuff that didnt seem to be hitting the mark. I even forgot how I set it all up initially after coming back to it a couple days later, and had to get another sound designer here to walk through my own processing chain to make sure I hadnt lost the initial idea in a mass of routing spiderweb. It really is a testament to experimentation and pushing yourself outside of the box and comfort zone, you can come up with some pretty weird stuff!
Thanks a lot for props - hope you enjoyed the explanation of how it was made!!"

Camille is quite old:
"@RiotJag just confirmed Camille is 80-90 years old:"

I am quite happy that we got another champion with a surname and also, finally, we got another human champion who is old, Zilean can be happy.
