Xayah And Rakan

Who else feels like riot did I good job with this? I think that there kits aren't super complicated, but they aren't bland and boring. I love how riot also made it so that their kits work Best together, but they can be played solo. Some questions though.

  1. On the recall thing, does one just piggyback on the others recall? Or does It reset when another joins?

About Rakan, Can you use other spells while ulting? Like R into a W to charm then Knockup, Or Can you E while in R? and if you can E while in ult, does it charm everybody you pass as you dash? For his Q, Can it heal multiple people? And does it work on jungle monsters? And Finally can his W Knockup Monsters?

About Xayah Is there a max number of quills you can have out? Does Q damage falloff with distance? It looks like it does. W seems simple enough. Does her E refresh if she hits someone with her feathers? Or does It not have a cooldown?

If your reading this and you read my whole post hi >.>

Edit: Also can Rakan E to Wards or Minions?

I only have 2 fears which I hope are unfounded.

  1. Whether the special interactions between the two will be unbalance able. (more likely to be abused in Pro play)

  2. After their release, whether I'm going to get some snotty little ADC mains picking up Xayah, and Requesting (or Demanding) me to play Rakan, when I don't have the IP to buy them right away. (And I got plenty on my to buy list)

Rakan's VO is probably simultaneously the most hype or the most annoying VO I have ever heard...

I figured he would have a deep Prince Charming eske voice, not "WOO! I'M GONNA SLAP ALL A Y'ALL" "SLAP SLAP SLAP!"

It's not a muscle head, monster or robot. I am happy.

I want to see a game with a xayah and rakan flaming each other constantly in chat

for Xayah's Q- i think it said her Q does less damage for each unit it hits

One of them is a hot piece of ass, the other is a cool ADC I might actually take interest in(that waveclear man). So yeah, I think they did pretty good.

• It seems that it's a piggyback. As you can see in the video.

Rakan • Pretty sure you shouldn't be able to cast other spells while ulting. It would be awkward imo. • I want to say no. But at the same time yes when I'm watching the heal. It could heal multiple people just the heals activated if you touch an ally. And it works on epic monsters as stated. • Nearby opponents. So, it should work on monsters.

Xayah • Depends on CDR ? Need to try that out in Practice :D • Dunno. • Don't think so since it's not stated.

Why does Xayah have an ult which makes her untargetable? It gives her ridiculous amounts of safety if used right and it'll probably make her ridiculous at high tier play whilst not being that impactful at low tier.

They look fun as hell to play. Rakan just sounds batshit terrible and I don't know if I can suffer that VO long enough in games.

While I like their kits in general and am rather fond of the depicted personalities, I really don't like how they only reach their full potential as a pair. It's one thing to work well with another champ, but having a kit that essentially requires a single specific other champ to actually use everything to it's fullest is just BS.
