If all/most of the Darkin have the double A in their name...

With the Aatrox rework we get a deeper look into the lore of the Darkin. One thing that I've found interesting is one of the new voice lines that Aatrox has towards one of his fellow Darkin, Varus.

He mentions that Darkin are supposed to have the letter A twice in their name (AAtrox, rhAAst). At first this seems like some playful banter between the two but if you look deeper something interesting comes up.

An item that can be bought from the shop, a fairly common one. Meets this requirement. Of course I'm talking about item 3085 Runaan's Hurricane. It has the double A. Was this bow that we can buy from the shop at one point a darkin? Was it inspired by a darkin named Runaan? Perhaps the next darkin champion that will be released will have the runaan's effect as a passive or ability.

Just a little fun speculation, let me know what you guys think. Have a good one!

Varus should be changed to Vaarus

Runaan is Devon Giehl, a Rioter whose name was used for the bow as a homage
