The Villain mechanic that's on Garen is a test run for the new champion coming out.
For those that don't know, on the pbe when you die there is a small chance that you will either get 2 masks that will rise above your head labeled. "lamb" or "wolf" I'm calling it now that these masks will act as a sort of buffer mark for said champion much like Garen's Villain mark.

That's actually an interesting concept. Maybe the person who got a kill last becomes the wolf, and the person who died to them the lamb and some sort of interaction happens between the 2 when one kills the other.+

Not exactly, I meant more along the lines of the mark alternating depending on game flow.
Horrific Greed1 votesMy theory is he is a stance changing executioner with this sort of mechanic.
windwolf7771 votesLamb is mercy being a support ish champ with a heal, knock-up/back, slow, damage amp, with the ult being some sort of item active. (
maybe? I mean, 
gave an AoE 
Wolf I think would be more feral, with a suppression well......
Steel Blossom1 votesI think new champion is either like Quinn or Like Nid...but either way, I've never been so thematically attracted to a champion since Riven.

They've done things like this before. They'll add something that's kind of odd or seems like it's gimmicky then release something that's extremely close in the form of a new champion or item.
