Another of the leaks confirmed (Cosmic Blade Yi)

Despite the fact I didn't believe it at first, seems the leak might've happened to guess things right.

Things on the leak were supposed to be early development, so suppose it's recently revealed leak of older date, thus certain changes could happen to ideas it states, but generally what it supposes is similar.

Firstly, we have dual champion, color schemes matching what one would expect from Harpy (desert yellow) and Phoenix (pinkish red).

Secondly, the leak stated Cosmir Reaver Yi. Now Cosmic Blade Yi has been revealed, resembling theme to Cosmic Reaver Kassadin.

Still, I don't trust leaks. Xayah is far more predatory bird-like, and Rakan is definitely a peacock. Neither of those are harpies or phoenixes. Why bother trusting the leak? Just be patient, and what comes out will.

They are right about Master Yi though.

I think it's futile to distrust that leak at this stage of the game. Some of the elements within it could have been discontinued by now, for sure, but everything up until this point seems to be lining up. Not to mention 'Harpy and Phoenix' could have just been codenames for the two champions internally, like 'cyborg assassin' was for Camille and 'fish tank' was for Tahm Kench (we all know Camille isn't actually an assassin and TK isn't actually just a fish).

Also, harpies are known to be predatory, and phoenixes can and often do have colorful plumage (like peacocks) in their media portrayals [see: Fawkes].

I care more about meatgrinders and shotguns. I will miss the missiles though. Urgot

Harpies are wind spirits, while Phoenixes are birds of the flame. Neither of these traits are displayed in the new champs. Regardless, I don't trust leaks. I don't care if you think its futile, the only thing I will trust, when it comes to league, is the official pieces by Riot. Nothing else is the least bit trustworthy.
