Context? I do not recall hearing the name Tempus before.

Really old champion concept (2010 or 2011). Was basically a fighter or assassin with various time manipulation powers. Some versions of the pitch for him had a rivalry with Zilean, others had him actually being young Zilean. We talked about those options when working on the concept that would eventually become Ekko, but concluded that other directions, particularly the one we eventually took Ekko down, were better overall.

so this isn't another... what was that "thing's" name again? you know, the guy that looked like a void monster crossed with a normal mob, had spikes on its back and had the community in an uproar for ages? Bah, not that I really cared.

btw, any updates on more exciting stuff coming down the line?

Thanks for reminding me about Omen :(.

Cool, thanks! I had no idea this had been part of a champion design before, but I gotta say I agree what Riot did with Ekko was amazing, great work!
