Somthing weird with the splash art backgrounds...

ForgeReaper··4 votes·2,632 views

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. Jax 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. Zed 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. Kayle 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. TwistedFate 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.

Shaco has an orange smoke though, which is the only reason I think this is Ao Shin related myself.

My point is that if they are reworking/VU-ing Shaco, they could very well change the smoke color. I think Riot intentionally left this tease super vague to get the most hype out of it possible, sort of keeping us guessing.

That could be true now that I think about it....

Ok maybe I didn't word that correctly. I'm not saying the Ao Shin isn't a possibility, it's just that the way Riot have been making these teasers lately (like Sion and Gnar), you would think that they would make a teaser just as big (if not bigger) for Ao Shin to get everyones attention and hype up about it. The Shaco rework and/or VU does sound very likely though since the nature of what we could assume to be a "teaser" is very vague and mysteries. Shaco

So Riot put out this vague oceania teaser video that just shows a banner floating with the background looking stormy like the fog from the champion pages. Here's a link to the Surrender@20 page were I found it: http://www.surrenderat20.net/2014/10/red-post-collection-mysterious-facebook.html#more Anyone have any interpretation for it? The symbols on the banner are a bit strange.

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.

The Mysterious figure behind Jax does not have the same outline as Aatrox. And the shadowy figure is not in the original artwork.

I never said the figure was not in the original artwork, I just said that it isn't news that it's there, it's been there for almost a year and a half.

Moobeat was asked about the figure and he said he thought it was a teaser for Aatrox, and in every "Jax is a Darkin" thread there is they will mention it, so I labeled it as speculative because I knew some people did not believe it. The outlines are not exact copies, but neither was Battlecast Vel'koz outline in creator Viktor's splash.

They've actually all been there since the release of the site, with the exception of the thunder clouds.

They recently REadded the mysterious figure back (it was removed shortly after Aatrox's release Ive heard.)

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

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.
