Somthing weird with the splash art backgrounds...

I have notice some weird things in the splash art backgrounds of some of the champions on the website.

In Jax's background splash art, you can see someone standing behind him. http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/jax/

In Zed's background, you can see another version of himself only different as a ghost or something before it's shrouded in clouds. http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/zed/

In Kayle's background, her shade color is changed to a much redder tone. I heard some talk that her wings are suppose to be covered in blood or something like that. http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/kayle/

In Twisted Fate's background, all of his cards are white except for the card he holds in his hand which is a red card with some Chinese characters on it before it is shrouded in clouds. http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/twistedfate/

I know there are a bunch more stuff but I think you get the picture that something is up. Plz tell me if anyone of you guys got any idea as to what is going on. (and no plz don't say Ao Shin is coming cuz if Riot wanted to give us a hint that he was coming, they would have done it in a more easier way to see the hint)

First off, Riot would do whatever the heck they wanted to if it was a reveal for Ao Shin, so I wouldn't completely throw that idea out.

A lot of people think it make have something to do with a Shaco rework, which seems plausible, considering that he is all about deceit and mental manipulation/paranoia. These splash changes seem to play off that notion, what with the strange images of blurry figures in some backgrounds, the puff of smoke as certain champion pages are shrouded in a smokey/foggy haze (like his deceive spell and his box, both create a puff of smoke). There is also the fact that at least most of the champions who have the smoke/fog betrayed someone (as in, they are all backstabbers (Shaco's passive?)). Hecarim is the odd one out for that notion though, so that isn't 100% certain. Shaco seems like the most likely choice in my opinion, especially since we know Riot has been working on some changes for him internally at least since back when they were working on Yasuo originally.

Ao shin is a semi-viable option, and this could just be the wind up to months of hype for him. I wouldn't say that this isn't a spectacular enough reveal, it could just be the tip of the iceberg for a massive hype train. That said, the only thing that keeps that as a plausible idea for me is that TF's red card says "Shin" in Japanese. Other than that though, there isn't much other than speculation supporting him.

It could also just be a completely different champ, or maybe a harrowing based ultimate skin or something, or just hype for the harrowing itself. Can't be sure until it is out though.

The jax one has been known for a while now, it supposedly was a teaser for aatrox (Speculatively).

If you look at Hecarim's there is a black rhombus shape behind him that is not in his normal splash art, and then dust shrouds the page. Mysterious.

Sorry to rain on your parade but these have been around for quite a while (i cant verify TF to be fair). i think everyone knows about "aatrox" in the jax splash. The zed shadow has been there too.

Edit: The white cards on tf is new. And for the people saying the "aatrox" shadow isnt in jax's normal splash; it used to be, then was removed. They probably just never took it off the art on the champion page. Not saying it is in fact aatrox because we'll never know, but it certainly was there.

even some rioters don't know whats going on I think some rioters are secretly developing something maybe in over my head because it may be for the harrowing but I don't think so
