Hi, im just curious if anyone has any idea of who the 6th project skin will be, its already known that lucian,leona,zed and fiora will be among the skins, but the last skin is unknown, as a yasuo main i find the idea of yone being the new champ really interesting, but does any1 know if the skin maybe for a different current/new champ? thx ^^

The character in the image features a multi-eyed figure - specifically six of 'could be' eye features. Master Yi has seven "eyes" (goggles), whilst Jax has six of this feature. I think it is more likely to be Jax than Master Yi judging from the image alone.


Jax Default uses a lampost. Temple uses a double-edged poleaxe. Vandal uses a nailed club of wood. Pax uses a bamboo staff. Jaximus uses another double-edged poleaxe. Nemesis uses a morningstar.

A blade addition to these weapons is not a bad idea. They all have one thing in common, they are weapons stuck to poles or are long ranged melee weapons. Maybe the weapon has hidden features, like an extended handle to allow Jax to use it two-handed/long-ranged?

What works: • "Multi-eyed." Jax has six "eyes" just as the character in the PROJECT image. • He also wears headgear that has the tail feature. • He holds the title of "Grandmaster at Arms". His lore expands upon that with mentioning that he has mastered the use of every weapon available and this could include the style of weapon that the Hyperlight Blade is.

What doesn't work: • "Alpha" isn't something I'd personally use to reference the identity of Jax. Alpha of all weapon masters? Maybe. • "Multi-target" would only reference Jax's counter-strike ability, all of his other abilities are either a feature for himself or for a single target. I wouldn't use this to describe a characteristic of Jax's identity.


MasterYi

What works: • Default uses a bladed weapon. • "Multi-eyed." • Double-edged nature of the weapon may reference his Double Strike passive. • "Precision balance", sounds like Master Yi's philosophy. • "Alpha" and "multi-target" seems like his Q ability, Alpha Strike.

What doesn't work: • He has seven goggles/"eyes", the character has six. • The main blade of Hyperlight Blade is not long enough for standard sword use. Unless it is intended to be a complete visual rework.


The weapon description, heavily favours Jax; highly unlikely, Rengar or Renekton.

However the character description favours Master Yi, quite heavily.

I can't really decide, I would go with a chance: 48% Jax skin. 37% Master Yi skin. 12% Other Champion skin. 3% New champion.

Jax also has hair showing, like the image, where as none of Yi's skins do.

That picture is zed duh

Sukishoo5 votes

Zed doesn't have multi eyes so doubt that.

Fat Ezreal5 votes

its not a picure of zed, but there is a zed skin

Wero341 votes

Its a techno helmet, is like ironman HUD, and if u look the main page, that image have a red mark, like the red mark on those plasma strikers

Sorry but they are still in place of the eyes as it's now confirmed that it is infact Master Yi. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B4I4aymUstk/VdYjipWUbxI/AAAAAAAAwE0/B91qqJIcoTQ/s1600/TXNKqUk.jpg

However, Headhunter Master Yi has 6 eyes

So its not a stretch to think they could or would do it again

There was a leak earlier, the last character is Yi, and it's also a legendary skin.

NightstalkerX73 votes

It's a blade and a sheath, similar to rengar's blades.

Also, trace lost might be a reference to his stealth. Most people say alpha is meant for yi, but it's actually it represents Rengar as an Alpha predator.

Fat Ezreal1 votes

a lot of people think that trace lost could be the fact that yone allegedly died, but comes back ? dunno

NightstalkerX71 votes

Riot stated that they are not going to release new champ during the Worlds : http://www.surrenderat20.net/2015/08/red-post-collection-next-champion-not.html#more

If it is for the new champion, why do they showing it too soon ?

It doesn't mean he won't be released later

Unfortunately, It's in latin language, but if you pay attention a bit:

Dicho esto, puedo confirmar sin lugar a dudas que es imagen NO es un campeón nuevo :)

EDIT: found a translation of Moobeat:

Hello everyone!

Something that was never our intention is to create the expectation that it will launch a new champion in PROJECT.

PROJECT is a line of skins that is part of an alternative futuristic universe. It has nothing to do with the main story Lore or League of Legends.

That said, I can confirm without a doubt that is the image is NOT a new champion :)

I hope I have guided you all toward the light and, above all, protect everyone from disappointment the day of announcement.

saying that its not a new champ as one rito employee said so, doesnt mean he isnt lying for more hype on the announcement! also the skins hair matches Yones in every way (left guy) i mean just LOOK! http://apollo-uploads-las.s3.amazonaws.com/1439914756/Yasuo_The_Road_to_Ruin_3.jpg http://apollo-uploads- then look at the skin, bit similar dont you think! also why would they conceal the memory if it was yi or jax? neither makes any sense in terms of lore http://media.lolusercontent.com/api/embedly/1/image/resize?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.pcgamesn.com%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Fproject.jpg&key=a45e967db0914c7fb472fd4381e6c85b&width=425

NightstalkerX71 votes

Idk, but I think riot post is legit.

Fat Ezreal1 votes

yeah idk, you may well be right, but the evidence is like massively in the favor of yone dont you think? idk why they would conceal the identity of jax or yi? makes no sense, only makes sense for a new champ, tho you might be right ^^, cant really know till they release them ^^

Bijorn1 votes

No. It does not favor Yone as it has been stated above that it is not a new champion lol. Doesn't matter how much you "want" it to be. It is not going to be Yone. Maybe at some later date they might do someone with him but for these Project skins it is not Yone.

Hell, a new champ isnt coming out until after worlds anyway (as per what Riot has stated).

Fat Ezreal1 votes

hey i said he might be right, the fact is you cannot say for definite that riot maybe lying for hype on announcement, although i agree the chance of me being right is minute at best

Bijorn1 votes

They have never lied about a new champion release before. Yes there is a first for everything true, but what are you basing your thoughts that this is a new champ on? The fact that there is a ponytail in the picture?

Reasons why it is not a new champ:

  • Riot does not like bringing in new champs based on existing champion lores due to the lack of creative freedom they are limited to (stated by Riot).
  • No new champion before worlds (stated by Riot)
  • 6th skin is existing champion (stated by Riot)
  • Riot has never lied about a champion in the manner you are suggesting

As far as your argument goes, you have nothing to stand on while there are many things that solidify my side.

IF this ends up being Yone, I will 100% paypal you money to buy him and his project skin (as I can not gift champ/skin to you since I am NA and you are EUW)

Fat Ezreal1 votes

Meh, there is a first for everything (btw im never changing my opinion until we get confirmation, but i appreciate all your points are valid ^^)

Fat Ezreal1 votes

WAIT I DIDNT SEE THE LAST BIT xD that would be sick XD ^^ but i see how confident you are :( meh we will see ^^

Bijorn1 votes

{quoted}

also why is the trace on the 6th champ the same as Yasuos trace number if they aren't related? again my points are all speculation with no hard evidence, but cmn, thats a little suspicious

Oh trust me I would love for it to be a new champ and what have you. There is just nothing to stand on for it is all.

Ahhahah yea man im really confident in this. Once it is officially shown we will know whats up. Only one way to find out eh? :D

haha im starting to think they scraped that guy ^^

kJs1 votes

He is a champion in the works. They teased him too early, there were a lot of problems with animation of his body. Being chinese dragon his movement has to be akin to eels and that was apparently the BIggest issue with Ao Shin.

Wero342 votes

I really want it to be Rengar, but the expectation is too dam high. Riot is not always splendid when release skins in group. Rengar skins requires hard work, because if not, riot release the poor clothes humble back nighthunter rengar.

Edit: I would love if it were rengar, the story behind the concept of project skins, mad soldier, which hunt and collects the ears of their victims to make necklace, its pretty cool. . . But i know its not going to happend =(

kJs3 votes

Hard work on the animations side? Idk, I simply think they could have done much better in the texture and model side. He still looks like a hobo/grandpa. He doesn't have enough detail. Fullstop.

OOO EVERYONE THEY JUST UPDATED THE WEBSITE TO MEMORY RESTORED 98% PLEASE WATCH OUT FOR ANY OTHER UPDATES, PROBABLY GOES TO 100% BY THE END OF TODAY, PLEASE POST A COMMENT TELLING ME IF IT DOES, TY ^^

I'm not entirely sure how you think the Unknown skin is either Jax, Kayle, Renekton, or Irelia.... The portrait we've been giving looks nothing like any of them.

Fat Ezreal1 votes

thats a fair point, but its a skin.... also its not based soley on the portrait, its based on the weapon, for all we know the portrait is of one of the other skins

fwL7umeoQe1 votes

I have the feeling it's a new champion mainly because it certainly doesn't look like Fiora, Zed, Leona, or Lucian. But other than that it looks like it could be Xin. 'Multi Target Combat' - Xin ult. The hair looks like it's his, and I mean the weapon fits well when you think about him spinning around. I don't want to believe it's Master Yi, but people are saying it might be.

Bijorn1 votes

http://www.surrenderat20.net/2015/08/820-pbe-update.html

It looks like Yi. I don't understand why people continue to think its a new champ when Riot has said multiple times it is not LOL

Fat Ezreal1 votes

THANKS ! appreciate the confirmation bro, i guess you where right ^^ :D

Bijorn1 votes

I wish it wasnt Yi but oh well. I feel like other champs deserve a new skin (speculation was that this skin was mysterious because it is a legendary skin for 1820 RP instead of the 1350 for the others).

Hopefully some others come out of the project line but doubt itll happen </3

Fat Ezreal1 votes

yeah :/ i am quite annoyed its for yi, i mean that champ has loads of skins and is kinda boring :( i was really exited for a new champ/yone, oh well maybe they will eventually :(

fwL7umeoQe1 votes

FUCK MAN IT IS YI. Such a retarded champion. That's why I REFUSED to believe it was him. Such a fucking stupid skin man.... ALL THE WASTED POTENTIAL

Bijorn1 votes

LOL I told you. And I was also right in it being a 1820 skin with new model/animation/VO/everything.

ForeverLaxx2 votes

From the teaser page itself, it's very easy to glean who is what. So, in that sense, these are the champions that the Project Skins are coming out for:

Yasuo (already released) Master Yi Zed Fiora Lucian Leona

Easy.

so riot yet another skin for Yi, sorry i lost track now how many is that. Oh well guess ill have to wait until I quit playing to see a halfway decent Diana skin. You had a great opportunity to gives Diana an amazing skin and you go and give it to Yi. I guess Yi is on his knees more around the office.

Six. Yi has six skins with this one. And it's a Legendary.

Why aren't you bitching about Annie or Teemo who had just as many before Yi got a halfway decent skin? Diana is also relatively recent, and only has two skins.

Cry. Some. More.
