League of Legends | PROJECT

Trace 1 MasterYi 1.Master Yi Trace 1 weapon is called, "Hyperlight ALPHA Blade" (Alpha Strike... Alpha Blade...) Can confirm it's not Yone, he is definitely dead.

Trace 2 "Brilliance in pieces, shrouded in ethereal flame. Protector, light bringer. Lone voice. Stand and Fight. In death heavy fields, now still she stands, light washes over..." Leona 2- Leona ('Stand and fight' is Leona's quote, she is a protector and marks enemies with sunlight so she is a light bringer)

Trace 3 "Piercing flame, he, cast in light. I see his vision, free from shadow, a blazing melody. Beyond the light, nothing, purity bound in fury..." Lucian 3- **Lucian ** (Lucian is known as the the Purifier champion, - 'purity bound in fury')

Trace 4 Yasuo 4- **Yasuo **(This one we already know)

Trace 5 "Dark sight, shadows marked, death lives beside. Silencer, he follows. The shadow is within. Blood soaked, he stands. Vanish..." Zed 5- Zed (Zed....Shadows... he follows shadows....vanishes)

Trace 6 "Weaves, unweaves; unraveled defense, dashing forward blade gleaming. Caught orbiting one vision, dashing, striking, blade dancing..." Fiora 6-**Fiora **This one is most likely going to be fiora.

Okay, so after the teaser update, these are who the project skins are for. Trace 1: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b7Hp0O5gmjY/VdTFSmOhDCI/AAAAAAAAv_M/mxrRQL5sBgE/s640/235252523.png

Most are saying it's Master Yi now, due to the weapon name, "Hyperlight ALPHA Blade". If not, it's a new champion, probably this guy: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dQEwiv5em0k/VdTItJ0n6gI/AAAAAAAAwAI/hN0n0J6do-I/s1600/2343243223432.jpg As far as who this is, this reddit post suggests that it's Yone, Yasuo's brother.

Trace 5: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-820aJO6DQqk/VdTFSxGugpI/AAAAAAAAv_U/8HmReSwUD9A/s640/4.jpg Zed

Trace 6: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NJSso8oHxKg/VdTFTNqiTfI/AAAAAAAAv_Y/PQXc14Q8n4Y/s640/5.jpg Fiora. Some may say otherwise on this one, but there's a Project: Fiora concept floating around the boards made by a Riot concept artist for a fan, and it was likely used, because the blade looks the exact same, and the concept was made far before any of this. http://media.lolusercontent.com/api/embedly/1/image/resize?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.artstation.com%2Fp%2Fassets%2Fimages%2Fimages%2F001%2F070%2F762%2Flarge%2Fpaul-kwon-cyborg-ninja-low-rez-01.jpg%3F1439401091&key=a45e967db0914c7fb472fd4381e6c85b&width=425

Am I the only one curious as to if the skins play into some alternate-reality lore? Sort of like the Battlecast skins. Who would create them? The "New champ" maybe?

Also, I think Number 1, if not a new champion, is likely Nautilus, because "Trace Lost" matches up almost perfectly with his lore. You know, fallen into the sea, lost and forgotten, untraceable, and thinking about how high tech this stuff is, water would do some serious damage it. Hence the "memory lost, reboot" stuff.

Trace 1 - "Trace Lost"

I believe this is a new champion.

Trace 2 - "Brilliance in pieces, shrouded in ethereal flame. Protector, light bringer. Lone voice. Stand and Fight. In death heavy fields, now still she stands, light washes over..."

I believe this is Karma. Ethereal Flames are literally her entire theme. And in her lore she protected her village as it's lone voice when nobody would raise a hand in violence even to defend themselves. Karma

As the Noxians advanced, the villagers prepared to accept death, bound to their peaceful vows. But Karma would not accept death and instead saw another way: sacrificing a single life to spare many others. To save her people, she drew upon the power within and summoned the full force of her will. A burst of spirit fire emerged from her body and spiraled towards the Noxian general. The flame took the form of twin dragons, the symbol of Ionia itself. It was the first time Karma had ever used her powers to harm instead of protect, and neither she nor the villagers had ever seen anything like it. When the magic subsided, the general had fallen before her and his soldiers had scattered. The opposing forces surrendered to Karma's strength leaving her people, and their traditions, untouched.

Trace 3 - "Piercing flame, he, cast in light. I see his vision, free from shadow, a blazing melody. Beyond the light, nothing, purity bound in fury..."

Everyone thinks Piercing flames and shadows involve Lucian HOWEVER, I'm almost positive this is LEE SIN. LeeSin

In Lee Sin's lore, as atonement for committing the one taboo of alchemy, human transmutation(not really, but basically the same end result, disfigured human and the creature died) he set HIMSELF ON FIRE. Lee Sin, he, cast in light, became reborn, free from "shadow" or his arrogance while he was young. That which caused the agonizing death of a young boy, and an entire village.

A symbol of purity, and the "Dragon's Rage", he was the Pure, bound with Fury

**Trace 4 **- "Tempest, a blossom caught in drift, fluid form. He speaks. Death is like the wind... he is a storm, blade howling... Always by my side..." Yasuo, this was a given. Yasuo

**Trace 5 **- "Dark sight, shadows marked, death lives beside. Silencer, he follows. The shadow is within. Blood soaked, he stands. Vanish..." This is probably Zed, no doubt. Zed

Trace 6 -"Weaves, unweaves; unraveled defense, dashing forward blade gleaming. Caught orbiting one vision, dashing, striking, blade dancing..." MasterYi Irelia

I believe, this is Master Yi OR Irelia. Weaves/Unweaves might refer to Alpha Strike or Bladesurge.

Might be more related to Irelia. Unravel means to undo, or release. Her equilibruim strike is used when her health is lower than her enemy's, so she unleashes her strongest defense against her enemy, a stun.

Dashing forward gleaming blade, Irelia's hiten style causes her blade to gleam, but the same goes for Master Yi's Wuju style. Orbiting Vision - Irelia's blades "Orbit" while dancing. Master Yi has an absurd number of eyes(that or his goggles are for show) and could have "orbiting" vision.

But I believe Ionians best suit the "Project series" since Yasuo and Zed are the starting 2, and just so happen to be from Ionia.

Well, I don't know about you guys, but when I get some Project: skins, I'm definitely gonna be listening to Daft Punk while using them (especially the Tron: Legacy soundtrack!!!)!

no one thinks trace 6 is irelia really? her blades quite litterally dance aswell as orbit.

CarterCarnage8/18/2015, 11:48:06 AM3 votes

It has to be Yone. Him and Yasuo has the same trace memory number.

The picture that is shown on the mobile version of the website looks like MasterYi to me....

Jonheath2918/18/2015, 4:36:26 PM2 votes

What about Jax. He gains Armor and MR with his ult. He can jump in and out of combat with his Q. His weapon glows. AND his stun literally blocks all auto attacks (which to me is an unraveled defense).

"Weaves, unweaves; unraveled defense, dashing forward blade gleaming. Caught orbiting one vision, dashing, striking, blade dancing..." Fiora Unraveled defense - Riposte. Dashing forward - Lunge Caught orbiting one vision - Her ult forces you to orbit your target Blade Dancing - Passive Duelist Dance

"Dark sight, shadows marked, death lives beside. Silencer, he follows. The shadow is within. Blood soaked, he stands. Vanish..." Zed Shadow Marked - Death Mark Pretty Easy one.

"Piercing flame, he, cast in light. I see his vision, free from shadow, a blazing melody. Beyond the light, nothing, purity bound in fury..." Lucian Piercing Flame - Piercing Light Blazing Melody - Culling Purity bound in fury - Lucian, the Purifier

"Brilliance in pieces, shrouded in ethereal flame. Protector, light bringer. Lone voice. Stand and Fight. In death heavy fields, now still she stands, light washes over..." Kayle Shrouded in ethereal flame - Righteous Fury. Protector, light bringer. Lone voice - Kalye, the Judicator. Now still she stands, light washes over. - Ult washes Kayle in beautiful light (Intervention).

It could also be MonkeyKing

Yes it says blade shimmering in battle or whatever and that MonkeyKing has a staff not a blade, but it could be referencing to when he has a skin, and that in his skin he has a blade.

When you look at the weapon quotes and shit It is made of 'Solid Smoke' and says it can adapt to any form. I think that it is referencing to being able to transform invisible when MonkeyKing uses his clone ability and goes invisible.

It also says that the weapon is compatible with multi - targeting. And MonkeyKing is very good at multi - targeting, as he is extremely good in team fights with his ult, passive, ect.

(Plus the community has wanted a Cyborg like MonkeyKing skin for a very long time!)

With this knowledge I'm kinda torn between if it's MonkeyKing or Fiora I think it could be either one.

What if trace lost was like project jax since hes all like spooky and unknown Jax

Sarutobi8/17/2015, 9:57:04 PM2 votes

I do like the likely candidates for this theme skin. The only thing i dont like that kinda ruins the mood is the fact that if this is true, Lucian seems like an "outcast" in the fact that he doesnt have a Blade of some sorts.

aaronconlin8/18/2015, 11:28:39 AM2 votes

I think the "Trace lost" is Jax, since the main picture of the teaser looks like Jax (multiple eyes and ponytail). Other than that, I definitely think it's Lucian, Leona or Kayle, Zed, Yi or Fiora

Yone can still be a champ. Do you know how many superheroes die in comics only to resurrect later on? No one ever dies in comics. What's so different about the game world?

Regardless of who this mystery skin is for, that helmet is dumb looking.

ExecutorDill8/18/2015, 11:17:05 AM1 votes

Im Sure trace 5 is Zed. That one was easy, as for the others it was tough. I really wanted Shen to get one of these skins but heres why Trace 6 can't be him:

  1. His rework hasn't even hit the pbe yet, much less live. (Though possibly could release it same time with skin).

  2. Shen does dash but.... I don't think they would describe him as "blade dancing" also shen and yi do not have a means of dashing out like Fiora's 2nd Q. So it's gotta be her. :'( sorry Shen.

It's been rumored that "Trace Lost" may indeed be s new champ lol.

I've been seeing alot of people saying that Trace 1 could be a new champion which i kinda agree on since it doesn't give you much of a hint like the others. However, people have been saying that it could be Yone, Yasuo's brother and that is what i kinda doubt. I think i remember seeing it on Surrenderat20.net that one of the rioters said that the next champion wont be a Assassin or Support. Since Yone is Yasuo's brother wouldn't he have to be a assassin? Him and Yasuo grew up and both learned similar fighting styles right? I could be completely wrong about this and you may be right but, i would find it kinda of weird that Yone would be a tank instead of a assassin. Then again Shen is a Ninja Tank so idk.
