Future Versus Event - Rakan & Xayah

I think this would be a really interesting idea as legendary skins. Keep the whole "Chaos Vs Order" theme to it as well. Yasuo's original personality is not that of some chaos lord, so I don't see why Rakan couldn't potentially be Order while Xayah is Chaos or vice versa.

I think with them it would also add a new dynamic to the versus event since they are a couple. A big part of the Chaos Vs Order idea is that one of these things is unable to exist without the order, similar to how Xayah and Rakan feel about one another. So it would still have that "edgy" and "gritty" feel to it, but also a more romantic side to it as well.

Two entities that need one another to survive, but also want to be in control and do so by extinguishing the other until the cycle returns. I think there's a certain dark beauty to that. I wouldn't imagine them hating one another completely either. I dunno just an idea I have been thinking of the past few days and think it has a certain potential to it.

I think this would actually be a good idea, but I kinda want to see:

A. Some older champions get legendary skins B. Some more actual lore rivalries (ex. Jayce and Viktor, Azir and Xerath, Leona and Diana, etc.)

But I would not be opposed to this provided it's well executed.

There are more than a few potential pairs for a future event, but I actually hadn't considered this one until just now. It's darkly poetic and I really like that.

The romantic element definitely makes it more dramatic and interesting. I like the idea.

I feel like Order vs Chaos shouldn't be done again. It's looking like the VS events pit two against each other, and have stark opposites, but I feel like there are other opposite elements that they can explore outside of Order/Chaos.

I dunno, so often xayah and rakan are teammates not opponents. Would be hard to make it feel like they're supposed to be enemies

I feel like I can justify both arguments to myself here. ON the one hand Xayah and Rakan are typically played on the same team so it sort of removes the whole "versus" theme but at the same time I feel like both of them working on the same team is a new and interesting twist on the theme.
