Calling it now, Hecarim is getting the ultimate skin (Legit proof)
Edit: the Champion getting the ultimate skin is confirmed to have an 'A' as their 4 letter of one of their spells. DevAstating Charge :^)
Edit 2: This is all speculation, and is assuming that Kalista isn't going to be the next champ.
(To actually start off, look at this https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B0nRRtRIMAAFd5t.png:large . The flag teased in the Oceanic teaser is very similar to the summoner icon coming out for the harrowing. It also has the shadows and thunder that the champion pages currently have. Def related to the Shadow Isles. Also, it looks more like a War Banner than a flag, don't you think?)
So, to start it off, 7 champions have had their pages changed to be all shadowy. What do all these characters have in common tho?
Cassio. BETRAYED Sivir to gain POWER, and is now mostly in a WAR against Azir, siding with Xerath and Renekton. Xerath. BETRAYED Azir to gain POWER, and is currently waging WAR with Azirs army. Siding with renek Leblanc. Part of the black rose, DECEIVING Noxus to gain POWER. In a WAR with Demacia by Noxian association. Lissandra. BETRAYED Avarosa for the Watchers POWER, and is now DECEIVING Ashe, and is planning to wage WAR with all of the Freljord. Zed. BETRAYED his clan to gain the POWER of the shadows. Is currently waging WAR with Shen/other ninjas clan. Twisted Fate. BETRAYED Graves to gain magical POWER. Not in a war tho, just a rivalry.
As you can see, the common theme here is Betrayal to gain power, and the waging of wars.
The last person to have the shadows on their page, is HECARIM, the "SHADOW OF WAR" The problem here is, when has Hecarim betrayed anyone? Or has been betrayed? The War part is obvious, he is all about that.
So, with that in mind, think about the lines the Altar Queen speaks on Twisted Treeline. *"Remember who you once were Hecarim" "Mordekaiser is **NOT TO BE TRUSTED *HECARIM"
Oh my. Perhaps, Hecarim was waging a war against the Shadow Isles, maybe to claim it back. Maybe Mordekaiser had told the once living Hecarim of a power, A power to win wars easily, to command his own Spectral Army, or something of the sort. Maybe Mordekaiser was once part of Hecarim's Army?
This could easily be where the betrayal for the gain of power came from, maybe Morde was the one to bring up the invasion or the Shadow Isles, so HE could gain the power it created with corruption, and Hecarim was corrupted along with him.
Now, for pure hopes and speculation, maybe a pre isles to corruption Ultimate Skin will be released. Hecarim, going from his living form and turning more and more into a shadowy beast as he kills and levels up. Voice going from normal, to echoy and dark. His VFX turning more dreaded and dark.
Riot, if im right, please reward my account enough money to buy this skin.
What do you guys think? Am I 100% wrong? Is it actually going to be a Kha'Zix ultimate skin even though there is no evidence? Discuss in the comments!
Very interesting, i think the "shadow of war" was an announcement for a new champion, but your theory for an ultimate on hecarim is great... maybe a rework on him too?
I love hecarim and i hope this is for him :D
