Ok. So if you didn't know, Zed's champion information page has been updated with a short video that shows him supposedly in pain with roses and vines coming out of his head. If you download the video, and open it in notepad then you can see the text: "Sona_deadeyeposter.jpg", "DeadEye_WebTeaser_Choir1.wav", "vi_deadeyeposter.jpg", "Garen_deadeyeposter.jpg", "zed_deadeyeposter.jpg", and finally "DeadEye_WebTeaser_InGameChoir.wav" in the file. The obvious highlights being the champion names Sona, Vi, Garen, and of course Zed.

One of the main points of the Shen Re-work theory is that whoever did this had a vendetta set on Zed and that the roses are coming out of the eye (A.K.A. the Eye of Twilight which is honestly a stretch and another reason I don't think that it IS the Shen Re-Work, but you never know with Riot) Another reason I don't think it will be Shen is because from the files we can also tell that this "Deadeye's" other targets are most likely going to be Sona, Garen, and Vi. Sona was an orphan and has never done anything to harm someone with malicious intent(Basically just a good person), Garen is a general for Demacia (A.K.A. a noble war hero), and Vi upholds the law in Piltover (An upholder of the Law), and finally Zed, a Ninja of the Ionian Island who killed most of the Ninja Clan and led a group of disciples into the shadow (To put it bluntly and simply A REALLY BAD MAN). Zed being attacked throws everything off. So the only thing I can assume is that this is a new champion being teased at, and not the assumed Shen re-work.

Now continuing onto the "New Champion" theory, one of the main things that people noticed when they saw the names of those champions was this: Garen is a Top Laner, Zed is a Mid Laner, Vi is a Jungler, and thatSona is a Support for the Bottom Lane. This only leaves one role untouched. The Marksman Role. If you are like me and you hate the Tank Meta then you are hoping to the Rito gods that this will be the ADC that can takedown tanky champions that isn't Vayne. What we can tell from the way that he hit Zed is that he uses vines/flowers (Kind of like Zyra) to attack, and that he has no problem with attacking Zed and targeting Sona, Vi, and Garen. Newer information was just found showing us the pictures of Garen, Sona, and Vi's Deadeye pictures too! Big thanks to: Krizalid for showing me these pictures! His theory is in the link below: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/LQXVOv1E-taric?comment=00040000

(Or it's a convoluted way that Rito is telling us that they're making new skins for champions that don't need more skins =__= Thanks Rito...)

Please Comment below and throw in your two cents! I'd be more than happy to theorize with the community all day!

It's a new champion for sure. Even in the videos (including the new Sona vid) there is a gunshot before hand. Also, Deadeye and Jhin are both referenced in the visual text... So it's either two different champs or Jhin, the Deadeye.. but we shall see.. Gypsylord made the champion (Jinx, Ekko, Gnar) so it'll be good!

I say new champion and will add:

The portraits might represent Jhin's Q W E R skills.

Since there is some sort of thundering gunshot in the videos, I really hope that they are confirming Ao Shin/Jhin kappa item 3136
