Why do Rakan and Xayah only get 3 Chromas?

Anyone else find it weird that these two legendaries only get 3 Chromas? The legendary Pyke skin we just got had 8.

Each chroma for Xayah and Rakan has 2 textures, light and dark. So technically they have 6, and you use 2 at a time.

I believe its mainly cuz they are legendary skins, and tho chromas may be mainly recolors, they still are textured differently for a legendary skin to make adding more probably a bit too much work/too time intensive.

The fact that we're getting chromas for legendaries at all is interesting tbh.

With regards to pyke, tbh his legendary skin wasnt really...too legendary if u ask alot of people. And there was way less texturing going on with it compared to xayah and rakan.

They are a duel Legendary though where Pyke is only a singular. They also swap between being good and bad when you use certain abilities so it's a lot of extra textures.

Plus Pyke lacks a lot of uniqueness that Legendaries usually have so they probably tried to make up for that by adding extra Chromas. Xayah and Rakan have a bit more of it still not 100% (the animations and such)
