This whole video sounds like a healthy champion design for the game automatically makes a champion unplayable. lol

[AofCastle]

Xayah has to play around the feathers to do damage and has a nice R that sets up a lot of feathers. The sad part comes when you realize that you are better off saving R as a defensive tool than using it offensively

[ekko]

it sucks cause they have the potential to be strong, but since the nerfs started coming through (as well as new champions) they've kinda been outclassed

Promise?

I main support and love Rakan but I feel like the Xayah Rakan synergy goes deeper than just their ability bonuses. For example, Rakan highly appreciates the root xayah gives him for an easy engage set up. Xayah also appreciates how Rakan can go in then go out to assist for her if she was in danger :)

[mr.mustang]

Rakans ability to dance around the lane and harass the enemies is something most supports cant do, which is why he is great

[tmarcz]

Yo I’m so hyped I was just thinking about xayah and rakans popularity

[Solarix]

I would give them a soft rework:
Xayah: gets +50 attack range when holding feathers. This attack range buff is permanent when playing with Rakan on the same team and she doesn't need feathers for it.
Rakan: Keeps the +300 increased dash range when playing with Xayah, and it's just always-on with her. However, he also gets that same dash range buff if he or an ally has less than 50% health.
They both can also continue to recall together.
These kinds of synergies are just: these champions can get the buffs normally, but just more consistently or permanently when playing together. It's still unique to them, but I do not think that the increased uptime of that will severely impact their viability to the point where they NEED each other to be viable.

[henryjones]

If they’re too strong together then just nerf the buffs they get for being together. Just nerf the bonuses they get for operating as a pair so it’s more of a cute gimmick than a crucial part of their function as champions.

I main Xayah and I love her :3 The funny thing about this video is that you can easily setup feathers because most of the people don't care about where your feathers are and just get rooted out of nowhere XD.. but i loved the video :)

[phoenixflamegames]

Xayah requires you to play around your feathers and why make it so difficult when you can play kai’sa, samira or tristana to instantly have a much bigger chance of winning?

[itsOllardo]

As a Rakan main, I can't wait to watch this. I love my boy.

[bonedryry]

I'm a xayah main and I wish more people picked her up she is amazing once you get the hang of her her feathers feel so fun to land

[taijibeker]

6:18 can we talk about how long it took them to kill that kayn??

[justmonika]

That Blitzcrank hook at the start had me scratching my head

[ginger_queen]

the real reason people stopped playing xayah and rakan is because their skins wont have a special dance with eachother anymore :(

[umitatsuky]

I love everytime I heard Sonic and the Black Knight OST in your videos, that is such a nice video game OST

[Flynnick]

Do you have an idea to buff them individually without making a duo monster ?

No, so just make a monstruous duo please :)

[Katherine-fhro]

Well, u forgot something: “Jack of all trades, master of none, but better than a master of one."
