...Are we sure we're looking at the same champion? I know it's concept art but gosh, that's quite a change

Other champs very different from the finalized ones include

Shaco (dear god) http://universe-meeps.leagueoflegends.com/v1/assets/images/image-gallery/shaco_dark_jester.jpg

Jhin (ROBOT COWBOY WOOOOO) http://universe-meeps.leagueoflegends.com/v1/assets/images/image-gallery/jhin_marksman.jpg

Taric (Recycled into Garen?) http://universe-meeps.leagueoflegends.com/v1/assets/images/image-gallery/taric_gemknight.jpg

And this goddamn badass Veigar (WANT. NEED SKIN). http://universe-meeps.leagueoflegends.com/v1/assets/images/image-gallery/veigar_permission_malefic_one.jpg

Yeah, the robot cowboy bounty hunter was the original Jhin concept. A lot of what he had got reworked into Kindred, actually.

Basically, he was designed to be a bounty hunter in the traditional sense. He had Kindred's passive, which gave him bonus gold when he killed the marked target rather than the on-hit damage. His ultimate was a long range snipe, similar to Jhin's current W, which would instantly kill the marked target or any enemies below a health threshold.

Mordekaiser Robo-skeleton Lord 9000-X has come for your lives, run before it's too late, or you, too, will become a spooky skeleton.

Early Sion seemed to have no feet at all. Just iron peg legs.

Yeah I think Gragas was originally supposed to be a dwarf and not the drunken brawler that he is now.

Yo Reav3 I need to know who did that Jhin concept art! Their style is impeccable.

I'd like to see if I can get a red to clarify on his original intent.

Also holy shit, Morde
