Dang new Hidden Passive "Enemy teams ADC forever has a gray screen"

What inspired you guys to make such a synchronized duo champions? Are there special lines for when they are enemies?

With this new and swanky bit of lore i haz 2 questions:

  1. Is Ahri a Vastayan? Possibly an ancient one, since AFAIK theres no real indication of how long ago Ahri gained human form?
  2. Is Rengar a Vastayan? That pompous Piltovan asshat who wrote the journal mentioned seeing several breeds of Vastayans

I'm confused - are these 2 champs still completely separate? Like will I have to purchase them separately and have someone else I know play the other one to synergize with me?

Did you take inspiration from Ahri when making xayah? Also her kit looks more like a ranged assassin mid don't you think? In all realness she looks dope :D

Also what do you think their ip and rp prices will be?

What Is The Best Build For Xayah And What Do There Release Day Skins Look Like?

EdwardKenway4/4/2017, 8:17:50 PM3 votes

Do they comer together for 7500 IP or each one sold separately for 7500 IP?

First, what was the inspiration behind these champions kits? How long have they been in development? Did it take you a long time to balance them? And finally, will we see anymore Vastayan champions in the future?

natethegreat6884/4/2017, 8:44:41 PM2 votes

will they be available as a package? What are the limits of their recall if any? Do they have more than 1 synergy than just rakans e and xayahs w? what items would best synergize? should one go for item 3109 item 3050 ?

There's only one Raka & that's the banana queen herself, SorakaSoraka You guys need a name change.

These champions look good and fun, but from a game play perspective, it sets an odd precedent that champions can get stat/ability bonuses for working with specific champions. Won't this make it harder to balance them if they are stronger together?

Shíníng Díamond4/4/2017, 8:56:00 PM2 votes

So... I'm assuming I'm going to need 15,600 ip for this duo? item 3070

Did any one else notice they have done of each others feathers on their shoulders? Xayan has Rakan's on her right and Rakan has a few on of Xayan's on his left, each opposite of of where they typically have their own feathers hanging.

For Xayah -- crit, lethality, or a bit of both? For Rakan -- possibly jungler or top laner?

Ye Ole E Money4/4/2017, 7:32:24 PM2 votes

Can Xayah's ult let her wallhop?

Hopefully the ADC role will be a bit better now.

Is Rakan ad?,ap?,tank?

Sppaz084/4/2017, 9:12:19 PM1 votes

is she going to be a jg like all the other adc's

Kshaway4/4/2017, 7:29:28 PM1 votes

I'm sure I'm asking a stupid question but.... Will they have added bonuses together? For example, It looked like if Xayah was with Rakan he could heal her.

Potáto4/4/2017, 9:12:49 PM1 votes

I like the idea of the two champions synergy, better then thresh kalista who have good synergy, but their kits are made for each other, literally. However, getting both through draft, especially past the pros 10 bans will make it hard for her to see competitive play. This makes me sad but by the rare chance they get past the bans (very unlikely) it will be fun to watch especially with their amazing design and kit. I also find it interesting how the mobility lies in the support since you don't see many mobile supports, especially that of the caliber of Rakan. Can't wait to practice these champs as a sup/adc main and hopefully be able to pick her on release in b4 the autolocks :c.

Moongi4/4/2017, 8:42:37 PM1 votes

Do they have to be played together or are they just together for lore purposes?

hiphopcantstop4/4/2017, 9:20:09 PM1 votes

they can recall together does that means they can teleport to turrents together?

Decca Kid4/4/2017, 8:54:55 PM1 votes

looking forward to playing a solo Xayah in the mid lane or top lane and can she play without Rakan and how will this benefit or hurt xayah

KØRAZU4/4/2017, 8:57:20 PM1 votes

rakan is a support ?

Elindez4/4/2017, 8:59:21 PM1 votes

Why do they have gigantic fox ears if they're based on birds? Xayah looks like a fancy skin for AhriAhri

BigDaddyBrazzer4/4/2017, 7:26:56 PM

xayah is gonna be more of a jungle assassin adc than a actual adc and if rakan is in the game well believe they will show up in yr lane a lot
