Let's be real here, most champions so far that had versus events have some sort of rivalry or grudge against each other in a past, swain and irelia are no different, as we saw in the irelia rework tailer, and we know irelia cut of swain's left hand. The skin ideas are: Archblade Irelia Fiendwing Swain

Nah. The Vs Event isn't necessarily about the champions but rather what each represent in the "Vs Universe". Swain isn't a rival to Irelia, neither the other way around.

Renekton vs Nasus . Those two would make a lot more sense. Volibear vs Ornn . Volibear would need to be reworked first. Diana vs Leona . The apex of rivalry.

Ideally, you'd have two champions from the same lane/role. Only Nasus vs Renekton fit that criteria (from the ones I mentioned).


They could go a step further and play on rivarly of theme instead. For example: Brand vs Anivia Fire vs Ice Lux vs Zed Light vs Shadow AurelionSol vs Velkoz Creation vs Destruction (The Void) Zyra vs Karthus Life vs Death Heimerdinger vs DrMundo Brain vs Brawn ...

The options are many, but I don't think Irelia vs Swain is one of them. ######I left out Morgana vs Kayle because I don't know what they have in mind for their story, but those two are the "super obvious" choice.


Finally, they chose champions with potential for huge sales. Irelia might, but I don't think Swain will. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm willing to bet one of the combinations I mentioned would sell a lot more than those two. Can you guess which one?
