Alright I’m going to take a stab at breaking down into who the possible final 3 champs it’ll be that will be the getting NEXT ULTIMATE TIER SKIN to come!
First off were going to start by narrowing these down by this clue; The 4th letter of the champs ability contains the letter A.
If you look at the second and third picture picture it indicates our many possible candidates for our new upcoming skin!
While many were ruled out too for the fact they have either got a skin recently, or have approx. 4-5 skins currently too, or have a Legendary skin already.
"But there were champions who have gotten two skins in one year or so range back to back" - Whining
Yes yes yes, that is true some have but they aren’t that of a value for ULTIMATE TIER.
Now one main thing we do also know is it’s a champ that fits our clues and has very few skins.
But as we continue forward we narrow down a majority of these to a few champions with the following next clues;
1 : Six
2 : S
3 : Hide
4 : Assassin
5 : J
With these clues we’ve narrowed it down to SIX champions (hehe)
Evelynn, Hecarim, Lux (not sure and don’t agree with, but reason given on website), Nautilus, Skarner and Xerath.
Upon analyzing all 6 of these champions, I’m going to jump right in and tell you who I think it is.
EVELYNN
Upon analyzing through her character information (LoL Wiki) I’ve noticed the following matched up with the 5 clues listed above!
1: SIX; Shadow Walk (Passive) When out of combat for 6 seconds, Evelynn enters stealth, only being able to be seen by the enemy champions within 700 range or true sight. While stealthed, Evelynn regenerates 1% of her maximum mana every second and ignores unit collision.
2: S; Now this one I had to think about what really stands out the most that is just using the letter S, a couple of things, her passive and she’s from the Shadow Isles. I’m taking a stab in the dark and gonna say this in reference to her homeland.
3: Hide; We get the idea here, Hide = Stealth which Evelynn’s passive provides this. OBVIOUSLY!
4: Assassin; When looking directly into her main role and sub role (we all know this) her Primary is Assassin, while Secondary is Mage. So she fits this clue PERFECTLY!
5: J; This I had to dig around a bit but it dawned on me as I continued reading through her information. If you go to her Lore/Background information the only thing that would remotely jump out at you is this comment: "There is little mystery about her to me - she is the ultimate predator" - Jax. Oh holy **** this is fitting right? J = Jax obviously!
So is it quite possible that I could be ABSOLUTELY CORRECT in this? WITHOUT A DOUBT I can say, YES.
Now I know many of you know that they hinted she’s not going to get herself a new skin till her VU right? Well my theory is that Evelynn is going to get our next Ultimate skin when she gets her VU and that probably will be in 2015 during Season 5.
Oh and as for the last picture there, I think tGenesis has some good idea going there in regards to that, though amusing it is, wanted to share with you. But I’m going to hold onto my theory, and I don’t think I can decode your theory WizardCrab!
====================================================================================================
But let us take another stab in the dark at this, incase it’s true that the Ultimate Skin will be this year before the start of Season 5 and if it’s true that Evelynn won’t be getting any skins till her VU (not sure when her VU is scheduled, I assumed she was next on the list).
But I did notice one thing that seemed to fit very well into the details as well! (He's not even listed above)
So we’ll jump back with the following clues again here.
4th Letter in one of his abilities is the letter A.
1 : Six 2 : S 3 : Hide 4 : Assassin 5 : J
So now I’m going to break this down with a champ NOT listed above at all. He has 1 skin…1 skin thats it. Could it possibly be?
Theory #2 Kha’Zix
His name has 6 letters in it. First clue above achieved.
His W; Void Spike, when evolved becomes Spike Racks. BINGO, it fits the clue of S!
Now this next one; Hide, were going to use his passive for this because when he is hiding in a bush, he becomes the Unseen Threat, and by this he has to “hide” in that bush to achieve this bonus. WHOOP maybe I’ll beat out my other theory above.
Next, Assassin; Duh - obviously this is too easy of one, he’s Primarily an Assassin with no sub category. He does what he does best.
Lastly the J, this can get a bit tricky here but were going first assume it’s reference to the idea that he can Jump. Right? Too easy, so still delving into this new theory now.
It could be possible for the reference that two people who worked on Kha’zix names began with J.

It could be that it also refers to that he stalks the jungle for his prey!
For now these are my two theories.
Either it’ll be Evelynn or Kha’zix, they both fit it very very well.
