It could be yone, yasuos brother

Manwalrus2 votes

He's just a tad bit dead though...

Best Darius KR1 votes

Or so Yasuo thinks...

Cardmant1 votes

Maybe he isn't dead? Maybe he got turned into a robot or something? lol I don't know what riot are thinking but there will probably be a champion reveal soon. My bet is its yone.

Francisco Pires1 votes

Yasuo killed him and buried him, so he's dead. Yasuo defeated him with 1 strike, so he would be a weak champ anyway :/

Cardmant1 votes

You still never know

Coming back as a robot would make him stronger :P

The Fast1 votes

Except he wouldn't come back as a robot, because this is a skin line, and is not canon. It'd be awesome, but Yasuo's brother is not going to be a champion lol.

It's not even being brought back from the dead that's the unbelievable part, its the fact that he's already rotted and gone. There's no reason for him to come back.

Tagged. Because you actually believe Riot can't pull a twist and make it happen. Tsk tsk. Project Yasuo could EASILY become connected to lore JUST LIKE the skin Captain GankPlank

Man, you're really against Yone aren't you. Sadly you cannot change my mind. Let's just wait, tag me to. Well see in a bit who's right :)

The Fast1 votes

Captain Gangplank was a part of a complete relaunch of an entire region.

The Project skin line is the anti-Battlecast skin line in a post-apocalytpic RuneTerra where Viktor heads an evil corporation. Yone cannot be a part of this, because it would imply he was never dead, which he is, because YASUO BURIED HIM.

For Yone to be a champ, he'd have come back, and for that we'd need some other character entirely to make him come back as a zombie, in which case, he sure as hell wouldn't be getting a robotic warrior skin as his launch, because he would not be able to use any of the quick flashy things, because he is a zombie, and very slow. Furthermore, it'd have to be done IMMEDIATELY after the fight with Yasuo, because I'm willing to bet there was no fancy coffin for Yone.

This also all happened during the Ionian War, which would only add to the confusion. And the only people right now we know can resurrect people, are Noxus and the Shadow Isles, and neither have ANY reason for resurrecting Yone.

Not to mention, the GP VU is a terrible example, because that wasn't a skin becoming canon, that was a VU + a canon skin. They'd ruin the totality of their lore if suddenly cyber-samurai project because canon, because this is primarily a FANTASY universe.

Furthermore, Riot said that the next 2 patches are balance patches, and that the champion release scheduled would be delayed because of this. Unless they are teasing a skin thats going to come out in 5.19, this isn't Yone, or any new champion at all.

Sion Urgot : OH! Is that how it is!

The Fast1 votes

Neither of them were rotted and gone. They were retrieved from the battlefield in tatters and rebuilt with necromancy/hex-techmaturgy. Yone was buried, decomposed, and left alone since the Ionian War. Neither Noxus nor Zaun have any reason to reanimate the brother of some no-name samurai who THEY FRAMED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Both Sion and Urgot were famous brutal warrior that were strong assets to the Noxian Army, so they had effort and resources put into them in order to reanimate them.

There is zero reason to reanimate the less-talented brother of a framed ronin, unless they wanted to catch him, in which case they'd be Ionian, in which case they wouldn't be using necromancy in the first place.

DrCyanide1 votes

Sion killed the first Jarvan, didn't he? The current Jarvan is the fourth. I'm pretty sure he rotted away far more than Yone did since the Ionian War.

The Fast1 votes

They recovered Sion immediately after the battle, and have been working on reviving him ever since, until now. He was kept in a special necromantic chamber, organized by the Black Rose.

Still zero reason to bring Yone back. And Jarvan the 4th is the PRINCE of Demacia afaik.

Sounds like metal gear rising revengence. Raiden gets ass kicked by sam, gets super augmented kicks sam's ass later.

Yasuo literally killed him himself

But it's a memory. Someone could be trying to bring him back, anything can happen.

Manwalrus1 votes

So wait if you remember someone being dead and you murdering them yourself that means they're alive?

What I mean is someone wants to bring him back as a memory maybe? It's already confirmed that it is not him though, it would have been cool if it was. I'm pretty big with stories. It was a cool concept.

i wouldnt be surprised if jax got a vu with a new skin. 6 eyes. kinda looks like him.

look how the hair comes from the helmet.

and he would fit into the entire theme aswell as the other ones. he also didnt get a skin in quite some time.

yasuo is probably in there, because he was the first one to get a skin of this line. and hes also the only one currently unlocked on the teaser page. i wonder how long it will take until the first skins are revealed. i would be suprised if it took more than 1 or 2 days.

maybe jax is getting some lore changes aswell with a vu to tie him into yasuos lore. right now his lore is still tied to the institute of war, and riot has been phasing that out as a part of the actual lore.

Archenz1 votes

See the hair?

Also the numbers on Yone's and Yasuo's TRACE are the exact same, and translate to 1/2.

im not saying youre wrong. but they almost seem identical. i dont see a reason for riot to introduce a champion whos pretty much exactly like yasuo. and has the same samurai theme.

recently they tried to make their champions as unique as possible. and introducing his brother would break that pattern.

take a close look at jax. his hair comes the same way out of his helmet. and those 6 eyes in the mask make it look very much like him.

Archenz1 votes

Lux and Garen are family. So are draven and Darius. And we alllll know how EXACTLY alike they are....

Seriously, just being family and samurai doesn't mean they have to be the same.

It may look like jax, but I'm sticking with Yone because of the numbers being the same and because jax and yasuo have NO CONNECTION.

lux and garen, draven and darius are depicted as entirely different characters from the start.

in yasuos teaser both of them looked pretty much the same. it could still happen. but imo its just as likely that the dude is jax and the trace numbers are identical because he gets his lore rewritten to tie in with yasuo. currently, jax lore is still tied in with the league and the institute of war. riot stated that they want to separate the game and champion lore and has been phasing out the institute and summoners. its very likely that if jax was to get a vu he also would get updated lore.

The Fast1 votes

The problem with this hypothesis that people seem to be forgetting is that Riot said there wouldn't be any champion releases for the next 2 patches, because they are Worlds balance patches. This can't possible be for the new champion, unless they are teasing a skin set they'll release in 5.19.

Archenz1 votes

It doesn't mean the champion will be available for worlds. It would be restricted.

The Fast1 votes

No, they strictly said that the next to patches were BALANCE patches. And that nothing more would be introduced.

DrCyanide1 votes

I can't even tell what it is you tried to circle.

The last one is most likely Project XinZhao

Compare: http://www.mobafire.com/images/champion/skins/landscape/xin-zhao-imperial.jpg

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TeWWoGjOn90/VdJICNXcJaI/AAAAAAAAv8o/BJqQeNv7EEY/s1600/social-preview.jpg

Key features:

  • Long pony tail. Yone, by the picture you shared, has a far shorter pony tail.
  • Thick, round shoulder pads that don't rise up. Jax typically doesn't have shoulder pads, and when he has they've been mis-matched. Yi typically has fancier shoulder pads that rise up (more comparable to Project Yasuo). Xin Zhao, in contrast, is typically depicted with thick, round shoulder pads that don't rise up.
The Fast1 votes

It could be Xin, but I think the whole 6 eyes and the orientation of the ponytail, that being that it rises from the top of the head rather than the back, makes me think Jax is much more likely.

Not to mention, the picture makes a point of covering the character's neck, something Jax has in a lot of his skins. The skin also seems to have a lot of cloth under the plating, which Jax typically wears.

As for the mismatch in shoulder, you got a point there. At the very least, the two shoulder plates you see are mismatched in terms of color. We also don't see all of the shoulder plates, so who knows.

Not to mention this is a full on faceplate/mask, something typical of Jax in every skin, while it'd make much more sense to give Xin a visor like Yasuo, instead of a full on animated faceplate.

Xin is possible, but I think Jax is more convincing. Not to mention, Jax follows the PROJECT skin theme of fighters who'd rather fight alone.

Archenz1 votes

I doubt it be jax. If we look at all the people we can see one thing in common.

they've all lost something

Fiora lost her father Zed lost his master Yasuo lost Yone Lucian lost Senna Leona lost all her people to Diana. Neither jax nor xin fall here

Remember Kalistas teaser? All the traitors had black smoke in the champion profiles, because they had all betrayed.

Same concept. Won't be jax nor xin.

Rabid Husky1 votes

could be kayle looks in line with her shape and that could be her plume on top and since its a flat glass helmet it could also reference the next next or the possibility of yi getting a project skin along with kayle after all we are getting a set of academy skins and a pair of skins arcade riven and battle boss blitz so the idea isnt to far fetched and unlike yasuo where his helmet moves since he doesnt ussualy wear a helmet kayle doesnt remove hers without switching skins and for your lost theory kayle lost her sister morgana

Archenz1 votes

Makes logical sense. Except the fact kayle has no connection with Yasuo. Also the fact people are debating that Leona could be kayle instead.

Rabid Husky1 votes

its possible they both do bathe in light and wield swords but all of leonas skins show her face she never hides it and as for the no connection thing same goes for fiora lucian and all zed and leona have in common with yasuo is being ionian (i forget the actual name and spelling but i know its located in ionia) and we know for 100% fact Zeds getting a project skin with the shadows clue.then theres also the theme skins have rarely ever i dont even think ever for a full set have had the champs lore and locations relate to their theme after all riot blitz graves nasus kayle and singed all the same theme nothing to tie them together and malphite aatrox and kha zix have nothing in common yet they all have the mecha skins theme

The Fast1 votes

Zed didn't lose anything. He willingly killed his master (most likely). It was (most likely) a choice.

Fiora also didn't lose her father, she beat her father because of some honor reason IIRC. Maybe there was a lore change I didnt see here,

Goddammit stfu Yone is dead yasuo killed him and buried him . Yone being alive shits on Yasuo's lore and character he will stay dead. That image is PROJECT: MasterYi

Look at the 6th guys weapon, it resembles the same Weapon renekton has, but its too small. And it is not a regular sword Like master Yi.

Who in the current roster can have this weapon? none.
