What if Vel'Koz had a "Watcher" skin?

I am saying that because once, when Vel'Koz was released, there was some speculation that he was one of the Watchers mentioned in Lissandra's lore. Then Riot came and said that Vel'Koz is NOT a Watcher.

But they left a quote "there can be Void portals on Freljord" leading to the speculation that the Watchers and the Void CAN be related even though the Watchers are not voidborns.

That said, what if Vel'Koz had a skin that made him a watcher? I had this idea by looking at the above image on Bard's promo, a image of a watcher, which bears some similarity to Vel'Koz or a voidborn. A skin does not necessarily need to tie to the lore, so it's not like Vel'Koz would need to be changed into a Watcher with such skin. He could have ice/ice ray-themed particles, and even have a new VO with quotes directed to champions from Freljord.

What do you think of this idea?

Why not Watcher champion? It's better imo.

Bad idea as riot said vel is not a watcher.. In terms of race. They said that a void portal was there to let us know that void creatures have more than just the shurima portal

Because vel is not a watcher for starters, and unlike other anti-tematic skins like aatrox vindicator, those have no lore to back them up while a watcher skin has a lot of lore to redo.

They need to tell us more about the Watchers and Lissandra
