We need to talk about this. Riot really likes the word "Transcendent" and all of its forms, but its getting a little confusing. Examples;

- The Sorcery Rune "Transcendence": Grants stacking ability haste and cooldown refunds on kill

- Syndra's Passive "Transcendent": Provides additional ability effects as Syndra collects Splinters of Wrath

- Kayle's Level 16 form is "Transcendent": As part of her passive "Divine Ascent", Kayle evolves at Level 16 into her "Transcendent Form", gaining bonus attack range and other benefits

- Kayle has a skin called "Transcended" as well

- New Item - Radiant Virtue: Casting your ultimate ability causes you to "Transcend" and heal allies around you, among other benefits

- Item Update - Navori Quickblades: New passive is called "Transcendance" which might be a pun on "Transcendence" and "Dance of Blades". This passive refunds ability cooldowns if you have over 60% critical strike chance.

I get it, it's a cool word, but I really think some of these should be changed to be more unique. It's a tiny gripe, I know, but so many things feature the word "Transcendence" as part of their core description that it's extremely noticeable.

Edit: This was 90% a joke guys it's just something funny I noticed

Oh I can help with this one.

I know two things about Riot writers: they’re bad at spelling and they love trains.

This was ment to be TRAIN sending. Kayle is canonically a big fan of Thomas the Tank Engine. That’s why she has true damage and an armor/mr shred. She’s so experienced with tanks that she knows how to defeat them. She’s sending trains straight to the big scrapyard in the sky. Hence TRAIN SENDING when she gets level 16.

Hope this helps.

I can help add insight. This Rioter, IS NOT ME. I don't like trains. They're coarse and rough and irritating. And they get everywhere.

Phreak, I noticed that your voice sounds actually a bit like Reigan's English VA from Mob Psycho. I just thought you should know.

Thanks, I'm glad you told me this.
