Mixed Feelings about Xayah and Rakan

I don't really know. I saw the leak. I was like "oh cool new champions", but I don't know. I just feel like something about them is re-used. I mean, Xayah is pretty neat. But, she is more of the assassin mid-lane type.

Xayah:

Passive - Gives me this weird itchy feeling that something like this exists.

Q - Sounds cool, but sort of reminds of Syndra .

W - Just sounds like a generic marksman move, imo. Only she also gets increased damage.

E - Indifferent towards this. Makes me thing of the way Orianna can be played. Or maybe even a deconstructed Talon?

R - Makes her a counter to most other adcs. Other than that... I feel like I have seen it before. Feels like a variation of Talon's ult.

Overall - Feels more like an assassin mid laner. Namely the child of Syndra and Talon.

Rakan:

Passive: Malzahar with a few tweaks.

Q - Eh, a poking tool with a heal instead of a slow, snare, etc.

W - Feels like a faster Galio ult without a shield.

E - Feels like Braum .

R - Feels like the child of Ahri and Sion

Overall - A support hybrid of our other loved champions.

I do like that recall though.

how does xayah's Q remind you of syndra? She throws a 2 feathers in a thin line? Syndra has nothing like that???????

You can make a thread like this with ANY new champion. In fact, people do, and it's kind of annoying. Try being 100% original (meaning not like ANY OTHER) with over 100 champs in the game that have five abilities or more. With the Galio rework, people were just like, oh his Q is like diana's, his E is like vi's Q, his ult is just aatrox Q but bigger. Now people are comparing the new champs with reworked Galio because his abilites were unique enough that now, after a month, they feel like his.

I don't have anything wrong with the comparison itself, just stop complaining about it.
