I just got on and bough Xayah, but when I go to start a a game she isnt yet available? I thought that riot stated that they would be available today at 8 am Pacific time. Did I miss something in the announcement?

Is that why I seemingly can't gift Rakan to my BF with IP like Riot said we'd be able to? Or am I just doing it wrong?

Go to gifting center and then chose your BF's account, and then "Gift Rakan for IP", its where all the other "Gift a Champion", "Gift a Champion Skin" and all that are :)

I just gifted my BF Xayah and the skin for her, and he gifted me Rakan but hes poor so I had to buy the Rakan skin myself XD

They said they release them during the patch, not when the patch goes live. It's been like this for years.

LOL your comment doesn't make sense as people have already been playing him on live servers.

At the time of my post, the update hadn't gone live here. Besides my point still stands, they've never done a new champion that's immediately available on the patch they're added; sometimes the wait is a few hours, sometimes it's a few days.
