About Zed, Shen, Akali, and Kennen

Why do they not have dialogue between them? I mean, they're all from the Kinkou order, Zed killed Shen's father, Akali was a student of Zed, and Kennen... yeah, i've got nothing. But there should be more lines of dialogue for each other. And an easter egg for the Kinkou Order (Shen, Akali, and Kennen all on the same team).

edit: I understand the ninja debuff, but there should be a Kinkou Order (Shen, Akali, and Kennen all on the same team), buff that gives +3 health to negate the ninja debuff.

Probably because most older champions (read, all that haven't been reworked) have few if any unique lines and few lines to begin with. Contrast, say, Sion with Cho'Gath; Cho'Gath has around 30 lines MAX, no unique lines for items/champions, and does not even have an animation for his joke. Sion however has multiple unique lines for other champions, items, multiple jokes and taunts, multiple voice overs for abilities, and many normal lines.

Sadly, until the champions get a full visual update (or whatever update a sound one would be) it's highly unlikely any lines will be added.

(As a sidenote, Zed does have a unique taunt for Shen but Shen does not have one for Zed. As a second sidenote, Shen has a total (not including laughs) of 17 unique lines; Sion has 14 unique MOVEMENT lines alone. As in, just the right clicking to walk somewhere lines)

and has about 6...

OK

Rammus actually works pretty well though; while I wouldn't be adverse to Riot adding more lines to him, they would have to remain the brief, short style of the armordillo we love. Honestly, just making a chance for Rammus to go "ok" "alright" 'hmmm" "yeah" (...basically his entire vocabularly tbh) on buying an item would be awesome.

Kennen was recruited by the Kinkou order, and worked with akali and shen. They have the -1 hp for being on the same team(cause ninja's work better alone yet shen is a tank?) also to see the kennen lore here http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/kennen/#champion-lore but i do agree there should be more, i think there are custom taunts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9u2678Jsj4 for shen and zed, but thats about it in game wise... i agree there should be more

i do know about the Ninja hidden debuff, but if all 3 are on the same team, they should form the Kinkou Order hidden passive in which everyone gains +3 health (negates the health loss from Ninja)

I think that should happen if zed is on the enemy team
