"The Hunt Is On! won't work for any existing relationships, in my opinion, since no other rivalry is as simple as "I want to kill you" and "You want to kill me"."

Actually Kayle/Morgana and Nasus/Renekton are like that, imo, there's just a bit more backstory as to why than with Kha'Zix and Rengar.

With Kayle and Morgana - well, Morgana's in the League so she can kill Kayle over and over again, and Kayle's quite on board with killing people she feels are beyond redemption, and has already disavowed Morgana as a sister. Obviously the reasons for this are because of the war they had on their world and Morgana's mastery of the black arts being an abomination to Kayle, but it ultimately boils down to them wanting to kill each other.

And with Nasus/Renekton, Renekton originally /wanted/ Nasus to kill him but it's implied that since then he's just lost his mind entirely and only has vague memories of wanting to fight Nasus, and what with Renekton being an insane crocodile that means killing him. Nasus wants to kill Renekton because it's the only way to stop him (that and, y'know, Renekton wanted him to).

Besides, the Battle for the Freljord event is for champs whose relationships are more complicated than "I want to kill you and you want to kill me", but it still happens. Granted it doesn't give any actual gameplay benefit, just a blue crown effect above your champ, but at least it's something...

And yeah Vayne kills people but her being in the League wouldn't really work if it wasn't for that :P Aside from that she's remarkably similar to Batman - aristocratic vigilante who turned to crimefighting after their parents were killed in front of them. An easter egg /would/ probably still be the best way to go about it, admittedly... although with Shaco being a fairly famous psychotic assassin and Vayne being in the League to kill its evil denizens, it still wouldn't exactly /need/ to be non-canon for lore purposes.

Lucian and Thresh would definitely work though seeing as Lucian's whole story is based around Thresh. And yeah, something as simple as +20 damage is something that'd be nice, while not being game-breaking or anything. ^_^
