Yeah and? They said from the get go that their synergies would like make them out of line...but then again that's the point, otherwise why pick the pair over the risk of losing certain valuable picks in the pick/ban phase? Xayah/rRakan were released under the theme of being stronger together, they were the only release that involved a champion pair with unique synergies, so crippling that would undermine the entire design, which was quite unique.

Besides the nerf to their synergies was strong, but hardly crippling and the buffs that Rakan got in return more than made up for it, since he really needed them to be his own independent man who needs no woman.

The pair is still incredibly strong and now Rakan is much stronger as a individual support due to kit buffs and new items (Eye of the Watchers, Shurelia's, Twin Shadows).
