The mystery of who kicked Teemo?

As I am sure many of you know by now in the recent Pentakill: Mortal Reminder video we get to see someone kindly kick Teemo off a ledge. Who does the kicking though may surprise you.

Here we see the boots of the kind person doing so. It is fair to assume that there are no humanoids in the immediate area large enough to be wearing those boots other than the members of the band, so lets go through them one by one eh?

To start off with, Yorick. At first glance Yorick seems like a good option, being the right size and all. However when we look closely as his boots we can see that they look quite different than the ones in the gif. https://i.gyazo.com/ed0fd95d87d9d73e627dd705e0cf6f47.png vs https://i.gyazo.com/3fa31f135861c568507c16ec7161cd49.png

The points are completely different and Yorick's boots are mostly metal.

Speaking of metal lets talk about Mordekaiser. Not a very likely option and for good reason: https://i.gyazo.com/d82fa63db7d68abda767a4e7b206c92f.png We can see him boots clearly coming up to Poppy's waist, which makes his boots far larger than the ones punting Teemo.

Onwards then, we have more to cover. Since I used the word "Onwards", one of Kayle's 5 voice lines let cover her next. She is a popular option, and the one I personally believed before starting this. I say "believed" because sadly Kayle does not seem to enjoy practicing soccer with Yordles. https://i.gyazo.com/9ebe9aa88e99a6e414eee9e49135edc2.png This was a hard to get shot. Required about 4 attempts to get a clear shot at .25X speed. Notice the metal going up the sides of the boots however, the Teemo kicker's boots are free of any such metal ornamentation.

Starting to get down to the wire here folks, and so to continue this list of no particular order: Karthus! https://i.gyazo.com/c670284e8b64b6cfe8e6ef090803d3df.png Do I... do I need to say more? I mean he doesn't even have legs.

Moving on: Olaf. Unfortunately this is a double strikeout as he never even gets to participate. We can clearly see and hear him hitting those rock structures around him both before and after the kicking scene. Since Teemo was kicked off a flat ledge Olaf can't be the offender savior. Just in case though an above shot of his boots reveal that while the most similar, his boots have straps that stick off to the side rather than wrapping around. https://i.gyazo.com/af131d9052971e9a806462531c53ce4b.png vs https://i.gyazo.com/3fa31f135861c568507c16ec7161cd49.png

That leaves: Sona? Well... I mean why not? https://i.gyazo.com/665ca59a49446389a133775742a6c164.png

Her skirt is most certainly long enough to hide her legs, so we can't see what is under there. The shot where Teemo learns to fly never shows above the knees, which is a pretty reasonable height to be able to hitch up a skirt to. Sona was originally a human, or at least looked like one enough to pass for years as one from birth. This means it is safe to assume that she does in fact have legs, if anything her ability to float is the real mystery. No real reason why she couldn't kick Teemo off, and if she can make herself float she can probably do the same to her skirt leaving her hands free for playing, even if she never does anything other than wave them over her instrument the whole video.

All in all the answer to the mystery of who kicked Teemo is pretty clearly Sona.

I still gonna believe it was Kayle kicking him cause in my head canon she runs security details while she not tasked with singing

Nope. It's Olaf. He has the knee pads, the straps and the metal tip.

only two problems with that theory. 1. Sona levitates. 2. Her ridiculously long skirt is nowhere to be seen in the scene of the kick. If it was her, you would have at least seen part of the skirt fabric in the shot.

I was wondering on this too and I have collected "evidences" to prove my thoughts, I think it was Olaf.

**1) The boot which kicked Teemo doesn't have spikes and relatively round one, so we can clearly say that it can't be: **

  • Morde (because his legs are huge),
  • Karthus (I don't think he even have legs),
  • Sona (Even if it's nice, but she isn't making any steps)
  • and not even Yorick (he has spikes on his shoes)

what left: Kayle and Olaf

2) Olaf has nice leather boots as we see him: https://i.gyazo.com/1f263a0a81ada45464c227efa423a57e.png https://i.gyazo.com/9f4d011ffba2a1501dc250a23d1f1d43.png

While Kayle has plated ones https://i.gyazo.com/68a23683431cd21f90bb6e22f337ead0.png (She even have plated ones at her splash art)

Boot plus: Olaf's boots have a small plate at the nose of them, you can see it here: https://i.gyazo.com/5b91fcb3e3169db00d7ef1c79fcc54b6.jpg https://i.gyazo.com/aeffaa5e22533ae027596a5543eeb1f2.jpg And the kicker boots has also plates but only at the nose: https://i.gyazo.com/eae191f9d6fb17322dad5c92ee4de1e8.png https://i.gyazo.com/6fb8af8f3db972f18f06c5ae4ec23506.png

**3) When Olaf breaks the ground and those cliffs are emerging up, we see that Olaf's cliff are higher than Yorick's cliffs **(video 3:20 - 3:23 ) https://i.gyazo.com/f9e18f53f4e6749801cdee82b53730b9.png Theres a small pointy rock on the side of Olaf's cliffs which can be seen from Yorick's side, and I think that the exact one which Teemo want's to climb on at 3:29 (theres a nice yellow dot on the cliff :D ) https://i.gyazo.com/99aa231b15478e5e4b89b886226b37e9.png

We can tell that the cliffs are moving different speed because at the beginning Yorick and Morde aren't on the same cliff, their rocks are knocking to each other at 3:31 when they push their back to each other https://i.gyazo.com/b5c061e6ef293c3606fdda7762c34389.png And that's why Olaf arrives last to the group around 3:40 (and he is on the other side of Yorick and Morde - and basically to every other cliffs what he started emerging at the beginning- so the cliffs are deffinitely moving around)

Just to be clear: saying that "but we hear the drums, so he can't just kick him while he is playing" is a really bad argument considering that there's a music even before 1 minute when noone is summoned at all, only Karthus arrived.

Teemo wants to stop the badass people who came here and destroyed so much things. He only can climb up to a place where he can finally face with those metalheads after Olaf's cliffs arrive and the whole band can perforcm on the same high. Why would he just climb higher to Kayle when he didn't even saw her before? (she was flying around all song long)

Olaf is badass. He will definitely go to Valhalla. Thank you for reading.
