So apparently, the new champion Xayah used to be called "Rayah"...

Riot Champion Release Team: So Marc, here we have two brand new champions about to be released. Rakan, the Charmer and Rayah, the Rebel. What do you think?

Marc Merrill, Sex God, CEO of Riot: Xayah.

Riot Champion Release Team: Uh, what?

Marc Merrill, Sex God: Xayah.

Riot Champion Release Team: No Marc, it's Rayah. Not Zayah.

Marc Merrill, Sex God: Rename her Xayah. With an X.

Riot Champion Release Team: Ummm... look... Marc, we've put a lot of work into this champion, making her synergize well both gameplay-wise and lore-wise with Rakan. It just makes sense to have their names both start with 'R'. Besides, we already have the release webpage set up. All the site assets have her as Rayah.

Marc Merrill, Sex God: Rename her Xayah or you're all fired.

Riot Champion Release Team: WHAT?! But... but... okay, FINE! We'll change it to Xayah, then! But can we at least ask why?!

Marc Merrill, Sex God: Because 'X' is the coolest letter.
