After seeing this video, especially at 13 min 59 sec, I've noticed the strong bond between Kayn & Rhaast. Even though you are forced to pick one to transform to I think before the transformation the champion name should be Kayn & Rhaast.
Ex. Anivia in egg-form is Eggnivia.
KuroCaliber4 votesWell we play as kayn. We don't call Varus: Valmar, Kai, and Varus.
Nori5 votesBut Kayn & Rhaast talk to each other as two different beings before the transformation. Varus, on the other hand, is a single being who once was Valmar, Kai, and Varus. That's why I'm saying after the transformation change the name it to Kayn or Rhaast alone.
Wrathof3004 votesI agree with you but only on the point that after the transformation, he should be referred to as 'Rhaast' and not 'Darkin Kayn'.
Kuro is right however, it would make no sense to call them 'Kayn and Rhaast'.
GreenLore1 votesBut we do play as Rhaast when we pick the darkin transformation.
Nori1 votesYes, his voice lines are clearly only Rhaast as he takes over.
Quepha1 votesBecause that was a retcon made years later without any art, sound, or gameplay aspects made to support it. It was one of the most poorly thought out decisions the story side of Riot has ever made.
Hexs Fortune3 votesIt want to get really silly about it, we can name them "Kayn OR Rhaast".
Rathar Dashing1 votesShould you rename Quinn to Quinn and Valor? How about Sejuani? Kled? What about Annie and Ivern?
Oleandervine1 votesAll totally different. Their pets aren't highly advanced intelligent beings. They're pets.
Rathar Dashing2 votesThey're just as intelligent as Willump. Some of them, at least.
Oleandervine1 votesThey're not, they're pets. Willump is a humanoid being capable of advanced society.
GreenLore4 votesWillump seems to have intelligence and sentience comparable to a human. Meanwhile Valor,Skaarl,Bristle and Tibbers are more comparable to Animals(we don't really know how sentient Daisy really is).
Though overall I do think that "Kled&Skaarl" and "Quinn&Valor" are valid candidates for such a name change,because their pets are a huge part of the character as well(tibbers and Daisy are only used during the ultimates and Bristle feels much more like a domesticated animal and isn't central to sejuanis character).
mrmeddyman1 votesFalse. Willump is sentient and more intelligent than Nunu is...
Quepha4 votesI'm pretty sure Quinn WAS called Quinn and Valor in a lot of places in the game but it felt stupid because Quinn completely failed the concept of a "duo" champion.
Kindred being called "Kindred" and "they" is similarly ridiculous as the character solidly feels like you're playing as Lamb.
Kayn actually kind of succeeds in feeling like Kayn and Rhaast.
