Deadeye is NOT a champion name

Deadeye is most likely not the name of the new champion, the dictionary definition of deadeye is as follows

dead·eye (dĕd′ī′) n.

  1. Nautical A flat hardwood disk with a grooved perimeter, pierced by three holes through which the lanyards are passed, used to fasten the shrouds.
  2. Slang An expert shooter: a deadeye with the rifle.

The second definition labels a deadeye as a sniper, sharp shooter, or expert. On an old forums post in 2012 a post was made about a ranged assassin named deadeye. The riot creative team would not just make the name "deadeye" so Jhin must be the name of the champion. The new ad assassins item seems to be coming out STRANGELY close to this new champion right. The champion would not be a Shen rework. All the relations between these champions are on this board page. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/oZpANOxT-deadeye-champion-relations?comment=00000002 ADC JHIN COIMFERMED

Riven

  1. To rend or tear apart.
  2. To break into pieces, as by a blow; cleave or split asunder.
  3. To break or distress (the spirit, for example).

Still a champion name.

The new AD assassin item will be melee only btw... so, if he is ranged, he won't be able to use it... buhuhu...

It's possible deadeye will be part of the Shen rework, or just a lore update. Because Shen is called the EYE of Twilight. Also I noticed something weird when I played Shen a bit earlier, he said "target, locked"....
