Lamb and Wolf

EDIT: the only thing better than Rito's timing is my use of sarcasm

By now everyone should have seen the teaser for the new champ. Here's a few things you might have missed, though:

  1. We can only assume they'll have kind of a yin-yang relationship; Lamb and Wolf, dark and light, good and evil.
  2. In the beginning of the video, it is the Wolf asking for the story, and the story seems to be about their origin. Why does the Wolf not know this story then? I believe the Wolf will have a more innocent, childlike personality. But then will he truly be the evil side? Perhaps the Lamb, who has a sweet voice, gentle name, and light appearance is actually the evil side!
  3. The man in the story was alone because "All things must meet this man". So was this champion originally Death? He had pale skin and dark hair, which is an archetypical appearance for the Reaper if not skeletal.
  4. The colors in the video are very Void-esque. Is this a sentient Void champ?
  5. There was a post from a Rioter saying the way League is coded makes controlling two champions at once very difficult or impossible. Assuming this wasn't just misdirection, this champ will probably be like Elise or Nidalee in that he or she (she and he?) won't have a true ultimate, and will instead just switch between the Lamb and Wolf. Or... they... will simply have one of their basic abilities replaced, like Rek'sai. They could also just have a second activation for each ability like Lee Sin.
  6. If that same aforementioned Rioter isn't full of crap, this champion began its first stages of creation before the Dha Ma post, so is not Dha Ma. However, it looks like they'll at least make them look similar as kind of a nod to that guy.
  7. This post from another guy on the boards gives and interesting tie-in to Maokai's lore! Not sure how the man with light skin and dark hair could be a tree, but it's still worth checking out.

Got anything else? Post below!

All very good points. I feel like it ("it" is what I'll call it for now) will have an ult that will switch between lamb and wolf, as I feel it would suit it better. It also could be like Hel from SMITE, who can switch between and good and evil stance, where the good stance heals and protects allies, while the evil stance does damage to enemies. Another thing I thought about was, maybe this wont even be a new champion and perhaps a new game mechanic or a new ultimate skin. It probably won't be a new game mechanic, and I HIGHLY doubt it will be a new ultimate skin, but they are possibilities.

I can only say one thing:

When does the World Championship end? If there's one thing we can be sure of is this champ won't be released till the World Championship ending, just as happened to Braum (back on those days I was pretty angry about having to wait 1 month for his release, and then he wasn't even balanced)
