Greetings, GreenMoriyama!

I also noticed that Jarvan's taunting Demacia is pronounced as the open front unrounded /a/, as well as the "a" in one ulti yell (DEMACIA). Strangely, the last ulti yell's "a" is pronounced as open back / ɑ /. However, I don't think Jarvan pronounces the 1st "a" in Demacia as / ɔ/, since

(1) He pronounces "topple" as [thɒpɫ], menaing that the voice actor Kyle Herbert distinguish his rounded "o" [ ɒ ] from unrounded "a" [a ~  ɑ ], even though they are all low vowels

(2) / ɔ / has lower F1 frequency, & I encounter many / ɔ/s in my 29 years in many tongues that I naturally contrast /a/ from / ɔ/

Hope these help.

Respect & regards!
