Ability interaction between Xayah and Rakan.

Was hoping that there would be at least one more spell interaction between them. Both of these champs are an amazing addition and the concept is fantastic. Never done before in league but should have been pushed just a little more. For example, the heal on Rakan Q (Gleaming Quill) should be instant if Rakan gets in contact with Xayah instead of allies. As for Xayah, I don't know really...

If they had more interactions they would become huge balancing issues. They would be extremely strong together which means they would have to be balanced around being played together. Then they would be garbage when apart

They kept the interaction to a minimum in order to keep balancing manageable. If they're to strong together then they will be to weak apart, as is they can function without the other, just having minor reason to have the other with them. At current they both have 1 spell that interacts with the other and an instant recall for one of them (say Rakan is backing and Xayah is farming a few more minions while Rakan channels recall, at the last few seconds Xayah can join him so she won't have to wait the full recall duration). These are enough.

Yea, as is its a nice perk and reason to run double birdpersons, hurts a bit to not have the other but not game breaking. Add more power and interactions and your just eating more into their power in other areas. To the point that it could end up making it an effective 2 for 1 ban in lobby.

Even if the interaction is low, the synergy is top tier. The fact that Rakan can easily group the enemy specially with his R make Xayah able to deal a huge amount of dmg easily.

It's already insanely strong with xayah and her w.

The heal on Rakan's Q is already instant if he touches someone. And if you did more benefits, they'd be impossible to balance, either being too strong together or too weak apart. Currently, their benefits are rather small (although the extra range on Rakan's E is a bit too far right now imo), and that's the way they should be kept.
