Gragas/Pantheon were a packaged release together.
They proceeded to be immensely buggy, overtuned and problematic all around.
Here's hoping Riot's taken their seven years of experience to make them amazing.
midnight oil241 votesWait, they were? Why those two?
ModCaptainMårvelous2 votesOriginally Riot's idea was to make one new champion free and the other one paid for IP, thus making it so everyone had something new to play with. Considering they were young, Riot just released things ASAP.
Thus you have this mess.
midnight oil241 votesTHat... seems like a weird idea. Why Gragas and Panth? Even back then they weren't related at all.
Terozu1 votesActually it was Darius and Draven, they were released as a sort of "counter balance" for Garen and Lux.
midnight oil241 votesThey were release after each other though, right? These two are a duo champ release.
Terozu1 votesThey were revealed at the same time, and released 7 days apart, if I remember right, it was because draven had a bug.
midnight oil241 votesOh, okay.
byakugan1231 votesTechnically you are right but the most recent (and first i believe) interrelated champions were Morgana and Kayle
Mig892 votesI thought it was darius and draven

ModCaptainMårvelous1 votesNope. Those two weren't released together. Darius/Draven had a gap between them. (Although they were consecutive releases)
Rakan/Xayah are launching together, in the same patch, at the same time.
Terozu1 votesThey were supposed to be released at the same time, one of them had a bug or something, and was delayed, but they were revealed at the same time.
