Kled Lore/Ability Ideas

So, a few hours ago, the Kled: The Reunion went up on Surrender@20 and on the League of Legends home page. After watching the video multiple times, I thought of a few things that could possibly be in the lore and some ability ideas from what the video showed. First, I will share my thoughts on lore. The past few weeks, mysterious posters have been up and around places and on Riot's snapchat, they released pictures of signs on benches outside their office. These said, "MISSING, the PRIDE OF NOXUS, Deadliest Creature I've Ever Seen." Along with, "Decorated Veteran of The Battle of BUCKET CREEK, Patrolling Without her Ain't The SAME -Kled." From these benches, my guess is that the yordle in the video is named Kled and also Harrow (gameplay designer for Kled) confirmed that the mount's name is Skaarl. Riot Whren also confirmed that the soldiers in the "Kled: The Reunion" were Noxian soldiers! Now, enough of proof for my idea of what the lore will include. I am assuming that this Yordle Kled, who looks like he's not a Yordle to mess with judging by the gun he has and sort of war axe weapon in the video, stole Skaarl from the Noxians somehow in some shape or form. Then this Yordle Kled, seems like he was apart of some sort of army that fought at a battle called "The Battle of Bucket Creek(I could find no info on this)" where he lost her in that battle. Now the "Kled: The Reunion" video shows Kled with a gun where if you look at the other Yordle champions, not many of them have some sort of gun. I mean Tristana has a cannon but other than that not any of the top of my head have a gun. So this guy Kled was probably in this battle where he survived but lost Skaarl, his trusty mount. Then fast forward to the video where they reunite. Both of them beating the crap out of a bunch of Noxians and ultimately reuniting. Another theory of mine is that Kled owned Skaarl from winning a battle and stole her from the Noxians and then lost her and so on. Now to abilities. So in the video, Kled has a gun and some sort of war axe type of thing. My assumption here is that he might be like Nidalee where he can switch between melee form and ranged form or his abilities could utilize a melee and ranged aspect in a different way. Anyway, his Q I think will be where he shoots his little pistol which will do a number of things, deal damage, have a tiny amount of armor pen, and apply a D.O.T effect. In the video, a soldier is seen where his hand is hit by something and on fire. What I think here is that his Q will be a skill shot and that when it hits, it will do some either true damage or shred through the person who was hit for a short time or just go through some armor. Then it will apply a D.O.T burn effect that would last maybe a few seconds like 1, 2, or 3, Any after that would turn it into a mini ignite depending on how much damage it will actually do if this is true. His W, is what I think will be some sort of melee stab where if you are close enough you stab the enemy and deal a certain amount of damage. Not that complicated. His E is something weird because in the video I don't see much of anything close to a 3rd ability. Maybe it is something like a 3 mark passive ability or something passive. I don't actually know. His ult I think could be Skaarl, as seen in the video, charging through people. The distance wouldn't be super huge, maybe the distance from mid outer turret to enemy inner mid turret or something different. This would knockback enemies, deal damage, AND ALSO SHRED ARMOR. The reason for the shred armor is because in the video you can see in Skaarl's foot, the part of the helmet from a soldier's face she leaped off of. Anyway that's it, just some of my thoughts following this teaser and putting in what I think is something that could totally be close to what might go live. Leave feedback, talk about what you think Kled's ability and lore could contain. Thanks!

I don't believe your assumption about the Q will be correct because as you said, we see that the soldier's hand is on fire, but it actually looks more like he caught something which is erupting in his hand. Later, this can be seen as the cause a large explosion as Kled leaps towards Skaarl. Maybe an exaggerated Q ability for cinematic effect, but most likely not DOT damage. Let me know what you think!

I watched the video multiple times again and constantly rewinded it, I can see your thought process but ultimately I still think that his Q is some sort of shot because there is a faint line of smoke or ash or something in the video that shows the path of the bullet which ends on the soldiers hand. Now, that said, the smoke line is very faint and I also originally thought that it looked like he caught something but watching it over and over again I was able to see small things such as the line of smoke. I don't know, you could be right, but the showing him holding the gun really makes you think that he shot. Maybe for cinematic purposes the soldier's hand burning was just there for cinematic purposes but who knows. We will have to wait and see.
