Rakan and Xayah made me re-install League

I just wanted to say that I think all of the love everyone put into their work designing and implementing Rakan and Xayah really shows. They're fun to play and the voiced back-and-forth chatter and call-outs are very entertaining.

Both of them were successful, great champions indeed.

At least someone likes those asses. I have to mute voices or risk my ears starting to bleed when they're in game for either side. Thank God that 10 bans came not too long after their release.

I love how they'll have friendly competitions and that dance makes me want to hug both of them.

They're great champs. I was legitimately surprised to see people outright hated them.

For humor: R: "I love watching you kill." X: "And I love killing for you." R: "Let's make out~"

More srs: R: "You need to rest." X: "I can't yet. Everyone's counting on me..." R: "'Everyone' can wait."

How can you not love that?!

Their gameplay isn't really my style (I'm more of a bruiser/tank player than adc or support) but I don't think their kits are poorly designed.

Because the title "Charmer" made everyone thing Rakan was "Casanova" charming and was outright confused when it turned out that he was just a lovable idiot. Lol. If he spoke "suave and sophisticated" the entire time like everyone thought, I can't see Xayah actually pairing with him unless she was also "high class" lady. And I mean on the level of Assassin and spy-work.

At which point, they'd definitely have a different audience. Probably would have failed too.

Good thing Rakan's an idiot.

Ya I really like them too. Tbh though, I only play either one if someone is playing the other one.

Or if I go Xayah solo top lane and confuse people. But I think that's even less viable now since her slight nerf of the aa + q thing.
