Anyone else just hoping that Riot has some big surprise reveal for Ao Shin this Lunar Revel? I know the chance are basically zero, but hey I can dream right?

A) the last post I read about ao shin from a rioter was that he was going to be pushed back to early 2016, but he was not shelved or cancelled.

B) could you imagine the backlash cancelling him would cause? People, right or wrong, haven't forgotten him over the past 3 years and have vested interest in him, a lot of people.

C) As far as the image is concerned, by japanese tradition a dragon is " a beast with a wolf's head and a serpent's body". I highly doubt that they would use a wolf and serpent, along with the other lunar reveal arts depicting more ao shin-esq figures in them, if they weren't dropping some hint.

at this point Ao shin is either being cancelled or reworked into a different champion

Yo, look at this: http://euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/site/skins-lunar-revel-intro/ this looks pretty promising. Especially the man on the cloud in the right lower corner.

I cite this, for instance. First glance it looks like wu kong surrounded by waves, pointing to the sky next to his staff. Look at the left side, however. There are straight lines, and parallel to the top disc on his staff, again on the left, we see horns that strongly resemble ao shin's concept art. If you look carefully, the majority of the left side of the screen is not waves at all. There's long hair, scales, etc. and it's all coming from whatever is directly behind whatever is behind the crest of that topmost wave.

Actually Vel'Koz stated: "Chances for Ao Shin reveal are... less, than zero" Velkoz

Note he says "taken", not "taking"
