Xayah and Rakan's dialogues are so...... cringeworthy
They sound straight out of a 13 years old girl's school diary. I found that kinda stuff cringey when I was 13 years old myself; imagine how I feel about such dialogue lines now.

Isn't that the point?
Meh, could be worse. They could be extreme SJWs.
yeah i agree.
but at same time i think thats kinda the point too, i mean if we want a dynamic and realistic world we should have all kind of people in them. cringy lovey dovey couples could be one of them i suppose.
"i edited my post cause the rest of it was pointless"
I actually found the dialogue really entertaining. A lot of the interaction between the two is minor bickering, which makes them sound a bit like an elderly couple, IMO. (I like that for some reason.)
Rakan is suave as all heck, but he's also a bit of a derp, which I found really charming.
Xayah is the stereotypical edgy teen, which I also found charming, moreso for irony. (...And possibly because I'm still moving out of those "edgy" days. .-.)
They both convey a lot of character, IMO, and their special dialogue really reinforces their love.
The sad thing is that there's a large chunk of LOL fans who take that stuff super seriously. Those cringy emote and meme spamming ones you find on social media, posting cosplays of Ahri, Sona, Riven, Jinx etc and going on about how "i'll carry you so you can carry me <3 <3 <3", you know that lot? I suppose they were made to appeal to that demographic. Need more manly military officers and less anime characters.
Xayah and Rakan are cringeworhty to begin with imo. I mean they might have new game play mechanics, but as far as lore? Just no. Rebel couple that somehow every part of Ionia could have a problem with.
This duo is more or less targeted towards "shippers" and people who want Riot to start making romance more noticeable in the lore. And they cater to it. I'm not even looking forward towards the next champion after them.
They're intended to be cringey imo, but by themselves. Rakan is hyper, and Xayah is bitter. They're better when paired together.
They are a bit cringeworthy, thats why I hope that someday Riot adds some special Thresh voicelines to go with theirs.
"Ugh, I hate everyone today"
"I know what will make you feel better..."
"Giving your soul to the Lantern to suffer for all eternity!!"
Or
"You sure about this?"
"It has to be done"
"Be safe"
"Ill make sure she is!!" Death Sentence sounds
There are so many lines that could be ruined like this by thresh, the wifestealer
Only Xayah when she is alone. She is a little better when she's with Rakan. Maybe he does bring out the best person on her.
"Oh yeah, let's get down!!" "Dust it off!" What's next? She dabs?
