Thank you Riot, to me Xayah and Rakan are the best gift you've ever done to league.

I find them so perfect.

Since I started playing LoL (end of season 3), I've never enjoyed and even loved playing champions that much, not only because of their gameplay, but because of their interactions as well, making them feel alive to me.

Everytime I play Rakan, I always watch all of its details, such as his walk animations variations, his numerous voice lines (which always make me smile when I hear them) and I find myself sometimes more intrigued into Rakan itself more than into the game.

And then when Xayah is into the game aswell, I can't stop myself to "roleplay" to catch every possible interactions they might have each with the other. Everytime they're together I lose focus on the game only to concentrate on them.

I can only say GG WP Riot, you've guys have made to me the best possible champions and for that I thank you all. Keep creating amazing stuff like this. Love you all ;)

Rakan's walk animation is the best. It's the spin! It feels so natural. If I weren't a die hard Pantheon main I would probably be a Rakan main, but now I have a champion I am comfortable playing if I am auto-locked support. Sometimes I'd even call support just to play him, ggwp indeed! I hope we see more interesting support champions like Rakan, to help build investment into the support role.

Exactly, each time I see it in game I have an immense satisfaction, it is one of the few things that makes me loving Rakan.

However I don't really expect another support any soon (except if a support roster update is announced), but anyway, Rakan is way enough for me right now.

you didnt like any other? i mean there are like 100 champions with alot of different stories and backgrounds , none of them cought your eyes at all? :o

also have you been playing actively since end of season 3? cause a lot of story updates and reworks have been made in champions ever since :D

I've been actively playing since mid-season 4, until a blank period in end-season 5 to mid-season 6. I'm well aware of all the champions releases and champions updates and despite the great interest I had (and still have) for Jhin, none has caught my attention as much as Xayah and Rakan did in game. Of course all the stories releases and updates are delightful to read :)

They're both super delightful and well crafted in terms of voice over, kits, lore/personalities and aesthetically.

Oh, you disagree but don't have anything substantial to comment with. I get it.

If all the new character releases are as cringe-worthy, Tumblr-girl and immature as Xayah and Rakan.... I'm finally going to stop playing League. So, please, Riot, release more characters like them.

Yeah, Riot needs to add more personality to their champions they release. Aurelion Sol is my favorite champion, personality wise. Whenever I play him, I turn off my music (or switch to instrumentals) and turn up the VO volume. He deep voice is relaxing to listen to. He's also a ton of fun to play. Hell, I AM PLAYING A DRAGON, THIS IS AMAZING!! sorry Shyv, you are a pretty boring to play
