Kayn/Rhaast Name in Chat

So I was playing Kayn and I was just wondering why Kayn's name doesn't change to Rhaast in the chat when he transforms. We already have alternating chat names for other champs like Gnar/Mega Gnar and Anivia/Eggnivia so why don't we have one for Kayn? It makes the most sense if you think about it cause when Rhaast takes over, there is literally no part of Kayn left. One needs to completely destroy the other to take over so when Rhaast is reborn, pretty much everything about Kayn is gone. Considering this, it feels pretty weird to have Kayn's name in chat when we transform into Rhaast.

From what I've been hearing about the two forms we may as well name the champion to Rhaast anyway.

Mm, good catch. I think this would be a nice change.

I'm always on the lookout for little QoL improvements like that. :) small touch, but it makes the game better.

His picture also does not change in the scoreboard after he transforms. Still stays as the base Kayn picture.

The only reason I can see is for clarity, but honestly, that's just bullocks.

I Was actually confused about that one too, doesn't make sense. It's technically rhaast who killed you not kayn.

Given he literally says "ITS ALL RHAAST NOW" on transform I think thats pretty worthwhile to add

someone needs to message me as anivia in egg from now. I feel cheated never seeing this before

Yes, please. I want to be Rhaast always. :D

So you mean past 10 minutes it will always be Rhaast. At least right now, Shadow Assassin is no where near as good.

Lulu's W changes the name too (seal, bunny, cupcake) i think those are the names

They have Eggnivia and Gnar / Mega Gnar... I do wonder why they don't have Rhaast's name. Laziness?

It's not happening because unlike Mega Gnar or Eggnivia, which last only brief periods of time, if you pick Rhaast it would turn your name into him permanently.

The YouTube videos for their login screens, also, have Rhaast's login screen listed as "Darkin Kayn".

Another suggestion:

Since they're both present in one body before the form change, the base character should be listen in chat as "Kaaast". Combine the names. Or maybe "Rhayn"? [slayer-jinx-wink]

That will just be too confusing and unnecessary.
