Can you create IG Xayah ?

I think since the concept of and is them being a couple and all skins featuring Rakan always featured Xayah too, you should try to create a Xayah skin also. They also have common dances and it would be a little more nice if we could dance with 2 IG skins than for example an IG rakan dancing with a Sweetheart Xayah. Please guys reply this post and let's try to make it reach riot workers. And I know no one among the World Champion players played Xayah but please do it for us fans even though it will not feature the concept of world champion skins, it would also not feature in the Xayah-Rakan concept. Please have it in mind.

This will not happen. It was not Riot's decision to make. Invictus Gaming's ADC and support chose their reward skins - and they chose Kai'Sa and Rakan.

Also, Rakan and Xayah are individual champions. I think it's much better for them in terms of their skin potential in the future to no longer be parasitically attached to one another. If Xayah fits one skin line, like Deathsworn, and Rakan does not, this opens up a doorway for her to get a creative skin, rather than being passed because they can't force Rakan into the skin line somehow. It's better for them as characters, and better for us as players who like those characters.

They don't need to always be together.

Actually riot has said before that they would always get matching skins Dunno about you but to me that sounds like they should be always together

Riot doesnt take player chosen skins into account with that. To them, the skin doesnt really exist and has no effect on other skins.

So in theory rakan could get a new skin a few weeks after the ig skins

I don't recall them saying "always". I thought it was "As much as possible".

Is there a link to where a Rioter said "always"?

I don't remember what post it was, but they didn't simply say always. They said that Xayah would not get a skin that Rakan did not get and vice versa.

This is like if your significant other didnt wear the same clothes as you one day. Not a big deal, most of their skins will be matches some will not. They still best couple uwu.

It wouldn't be fair to every other worlds winner if IG got 7 skins instead of 6.

ZygaenaApr 24, 20191 votes

it's never fair, they got 6 skins when there's only 5 roles, SKT1 2016 and 2015 got both 6 skins too, SKT1 2014 got only 5 for the 5 roles, then Fnatic and TPA got 5 like they are supposed to, then why did SKT1 get 6 skins two years in a row? then SSG 2017 got 6 skins one for each position + xayah's Xayah , she got added because Rakan Rakan was chosen, then why did IG got both Irelia Irelia and Fiora Fiora instead of adding Xayah Xayah like they did in 2017? if they're going to add another skin unfairly having 6 instead of 5 like other teams did why take Xayah's Xayah spot away? then why not add a 7th skin for her if apparently they don't care about being fair to pasts teams.

OleandervineApr 29, 20192 votes

This is beyond ignorant. SKT T1 2014, FNATIC, and TPA only got 5 skins because at the time these skin lines were made, they ONLY made skins for the main players who played in the Worlds.

However, starting in 2015, Riot announced that BECAUSE there were usually 6 members of the team since a substitute player was allowed on the roster, they would do a skin for the substitute member as well, since they also played in worlds and should get recognition for stepping in when one of the usuals had to step out for whatever reason. So that is why starting in 2015, 6 skins were made instead of the previous 5. They also started making ward skins to represent the coaches for the team in 2016. So when SSG won, their ADC and Substitute selected Xayah and Ezreal, while their support selected Rakan. Xayah wasn't simply added because Rakan was selected. One of the other members of SSG selected her - and if memory serves, he did so because the support selected Rakan.

So then we get to IG in 2018. The top and substitute selected Irelia and Fiora because they wanted to. The substitute team member didn't select Xayah, probably because he didn't play Xayah, or simply probably because he really wanted a Fiora or Irelia skin if they were one of his favorite champions. There was nothing unfair about them selecting the champions they wanted, so your baseless claim that they should have chosen Xayah is not grounded in any sort of reality, nor are you allowing the members of the team to pick who they want as their own reward for winning the biggest tournament in League's yearly event schedule.

Not really, the Ezreal skin was for Haru, who was the subsitute jungler. Just wanted to correct you on that.

OleandervineMay 14, 20191 votes

What are you correcting exactly? I said "their ADC and substitute selected Xayah and Ezreal." Nothing about that statement is against what you just said.

Everytime I see IG play Xayah and Rakan (which is 90% of their games at MSI) I'm just sad JackeyLove can't play with his own skin. Kai'Sa is great and all but it's obvious Baloan will always pick Rakan over anything else and Xayah will always have better synergy with him.

Personally I love all of these champions so I might be biased but I don't see a reason not to add IG Xayah to the roster. It could be their prize for winning MSI to justify 7 skins.

Btw. Xayah is not the only one that's missing. Many people wanted to play TheShy's Riven or Rookie's Akali but they couldn't pick them cause the champion had to be played by them during main event :(

For now we can only hope IG wins Worlds again cause Riot certainly doesn't want our money xD
