Kayn's Login Is a First

First I wanted to start off by saying the login and theme are sick so cudos to riot on that.

Now looking at these two login shots it gives us a look at how either ending to kayn's story as well as a glimpse into the future of the league story. This is a first as we often are left at a standstill not really getting closure on what fully happens to them. However with kayn we see that whoever takes control has a devastateing effect on runeterra. If Rhaast takes control as seen with his login he alone is prepared to take down civilizations as we can see him doing to noxus. If Kayn wins we still see he goes onto hunt and potentially kill important targets all across runeterra our example we were given was ashe. it is really intriguing to see a potential ending to kayn's story arc depending on who takes control and personally really want to see these to ending developed into stories as it would be really cool to see how rhaast or shadow kayn affect runeterra.

I wouldn't read too much into these, though. Jhin killed 4 other champions in his reveal, but lore wise he actually didn't. While Kayn can have an impact on runeterra by killing key targets, that is true for every single assassin in the game.

The biggest story hook here would be the darkin part, since it seems that Aatrox, Rhaast and their kind want to bring an end to runeterra, making them some main antagonist alongside the void which have to be defeated.

Actually, a rioter stated that the logins screens are actually just kayn thinking what would happen depending on who won, so these are just what he THINKS they will do not actually WHAT they WILL do.
