Ao Shin

Welcome to another (who am I kidding?) Specs n' Shit. Where we take a look at champion teasers and stare them down to the core, I also get to pretend like I'm a comedian or somethin'!. While Rioters laugh so damn hard. Because of how wrong I'd be. (because Jhin is obviously Yasuo's brother, I think we all know that at this point) I mean seriously, I was assuming Illaoi was gonna be some kind of Criminal Gangboss from Piltover and/or Zaun. Lo and behold, a Kraken Priestess. So accurate.

But hopefully this will turn into that page you ignore but when I'm right I get to say "I told you so, bi***es!" n' all that jazz.


So there's been a lot of controversy about these "Deadeye" teasers (absolute no shit, sherlock).

So the major theory is that it's probably Ao Shin. What? You don't know who Ao Shin is? http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Ao_Shin He's basically a Storm Dragon that was set to release after Jinx and Yasuo, but was set to much later. I think he was supposed to show up after Ekko, but I'm not too sure about that, and there aren't any sources I can use to prove it, but whateves. Basically he was pushed to "Early 2016" (ring a few bells already?) due to production issues. TBH, I've been following any signs of this Champion eversince Bard's release, trying to look for clues n' all that (to show the background that I didn't just find this recently, I've been following it for a while), and I've been big on Unreleased and Scrapped content (from TF2, to DOTA 2, to League of Legends n' all that jazz. When are they releasing Omen again? Oh well, time to wait for Pitlord.)

So there's quite a bit of evidence that I'm backing up here.


First off, the fact that they're using Champ pages for a teaser. It means that shit just got real and the release is gonna be huge.

Think of Jinx, One of the most popular and recognizable champs in the game. She vandalized Vi's (and I think Lucian's) champion pages, so that could mean something.

Think of Azir, Had sand patterns around Sivir's and Cass' pages One of the most popular mages in the game, with a massive release. And remember when he used to be called Seth the Sand Mage? And was an unreleased champ at the time?

Pretty sure I don't need to say anything more.


2nd up, Zed's Teaser: The teaser shows, obviously, Zed being struck by a light source and a sound is heard. A gun shot? No. (well, it is, but I'm supposed to make you laugh at me once he comes out) That's more like a Thunder's Cackle to me. So is that lightning? Why would it be? Lightning has more of a crackly and sharp design. This seems to be a calming blossom (literally) of light. My point? Since Ao Shin is supposed to be a Storm Dragon that protects Ionia and the natural world itself. Shin can mean either Prosperity or the rising of a storm. This teaser shows that Shin can summon powerful cackles of thunder and lightning, but can also cause natural prosperity to blossom (again, literally, there are so many petals)


And then we got Sona's Teaser Geez, a ripped-open neck with smoke coming out of your mouth? That's what happens when you vape, kids! Well, that's clearly not a bullet (well, it is, but I'm stubborn af) That looks more like a claw mark, thus hinting at a dragon (or a dragon with a musket, that would be pretty fucking awesome) Also, big chest. Big chest probably hinting to a Big dragon or Big storms (like what the comment section might be after this) or somethin'.

Garen looks like he's being shattered by green energy. Energy can come from dragons. Could be diamonds, but Dragons are also rich, sometimes.

Vi looks like she's been through a wildfire or somethin'. Dragons breath fire, right?

K, good.


Oh jeez, a lot of people already figured out that it's a gun that they heard, thanks alot, Brofesco.

But I stand firm.

It is Ao Shin....


....with a shotgun.

I mean, really. Who wouldn't want a Dragon with a fuckin' shotgun?

There, case solved, called it.

Lemme know if you have any theories and/or further speculation. I will most likely ignore it because I'm totally right. Jk. Cya around!

....in other comment ....

My next champion is in fact one that has spent some time in the icebox (however I assure you it's not one you've ever heard about)

This would be great, but Riot announced that it is a champion from the icebox, but not Ao Shin ('Someone you've never heard of before')
