Lamb, tell me a story... There was once a pale man with dark hair who was very lonely... Why was him lonely? All things must meet this man, so they shunned him. Did he chase them all? He took an axe, and split himself in two... So he would always have a friend...? ...So he would always have a friend.

Huh.
Sounds like Wolf and Lamb are Runeterra's personification of Death.
If anything, that would make them an enemy of the Shadow Isles since all the ghouls over there don't stay in the ground like proper dead things.
Ralanr10 votesNow that's what I thought. And I'm all for that.
Many of our undead champions are evil. 
is neutral and his lore may be rewritten. I'm all for having a champion that represents death and not have it be evil. Rather it represents that it's needed as is life.
I can bet it's main rival will be Karthus. Though it's rival of life is more tricky. Soraka maybe?
I'd be fine if it was connected to the shadow isles. As long as it's not connected to Ionia. We have enough champions that connect there.
Ariel the Cruel2 votesIt's actually Bard's physical body. . . . Bard is the lamb.

Wut?
Actually xPeke6 votesPretty sure the man was the "Death" people fear death/dont want to die, he ended up being lonely. He split himself in two, creating another side of him. Life, so he was never lonely again

I thought Karthus was Runeterra's "death" Maybe he's just a normal necromancer, but I hope L&W is something closer to fear, since arguably not all "things" in Runeterra die/are living.

Nah, Karthus is just some death-themed lichy wizard guy.
Lamb&Wolf are probably more on the order of Tahm and Bard.

Hey, Amumu... Do you want a Friend? 
ExecutorDill4 votesLmao
Virgin Ray5 votesAnyone else find it a coincidence that darius' ult shows a man splitting in 2?
A Superb Villain15 votesI find it interesting that the Lamb is recounting the story to the Wolf, despite it essentially being a tale of their origins. Why does the Wolf not seem to know this, yet the Lamb does? Is it because the Lamb is associated with life, thus was aware of their birth, while the Wolf represents death and consequently can have no knowledge of the event?
Also, I really, really love the fairytale vibe; the music, the story, it all screams folktale.
Stars Shaper4 votesIt might also be that the Lamb is the more calm and rational side of him while the wolf is a rampaging beast that needs to rest time to time.
Nahara12 votesAlternatively: Wolf is more childlike, rather than bestial. His responses during the story are basically a child asking questions about a bedtime story being read to them.
Ralanr3 votesWhat if it's an allegory? Neither remember their origins and only the tale.
Or it's not a new story to wolf. But wolf did ask a question mid story.
A Superb Villain7 votesIt could be that the entire story is a metaphor and did not literally happen; perhaps the Lamb and Wolf are trying the best they can to make sense of their existence.
Ralanr2 votesIt wouldn't be too farfetched. Being a spirit doesn't mean knowing everything, 
doesn't understand the wills and actions of people like 
and 
. Though know and understand aren't the same thing.
A spirit unaware of it's existence sounds like a really fun concept. Gives it an air of human/mortal, we share the burden of not knowing our creation.
Nahara9 votesYou have to applaud the axe skills of a man who can slice himself in half.
ExecutorDill3 votesLmao^ I think that him slicing himself was a metaphor bruh. The way wolf talks... He doesn't seem very knowledgeable, maybe lamb was saying it in a way wolf can underatand.
PanterLily8 votes#All things must meet this man.
What we all must meet? Death? Can it be Night or Darkness?
"And there the children of dark Night have their dwellings, Sleep and Death, awful gods. " - Hypnos and Thanatos.
UomoAfide6 votesHmm, dream uh? Greek mithology usually associated sleep and death, with the latter being called the Eternal sleep or the Sleep being considered a little death. Now that you mention it, it could make sense, if you think at the fact that the usual representation for dream in anglo-saxon's countries is the counting of sheep. Ahhh, so many theories and so little to actually look upon. Can't wait to see the narrative identity for this champion.
ArcticSirius5 votesIt just makes me so sad. Whoever wrote those lines, props to you because now I'm emotionally invested in a champion before we even know their name(s)
Inphernal4 votesyou thread jackin homie?
2Behold4 votesStart the hype train choo choo. I already want to buy this champ.
Ralanr4 votesI'm gonna bet this champ will be part Mage. Midlane hasn't shaken much recently.
Celio Hogane HD3 votesim just happy i was right about being a Shadow Isles champ (they said my argument about shadow isles being not oriental enough was bad, BUT I WAS RIGHT)

I dont think that they are from the Shadow Isles... in fact, i believe that them will be an enemy of the Shadow Isles because they refuse to die for real.
Stars Shaper2 votesA wild (and 80% wrong) hipothesys is that the man could be a SI executioner that went mad and chopped his head in two and then spooky happened the same way it happened for Thresh the Jailor.
Celio Hogane HD2 votesLucian is a shadow isles champ and what he does is hunt undeads, so that is not a problem (Yeah yeah lucian is Demacian BUT is a Shadow isles champ, like jinx is a Piltower champ)
Sharjo11 votesJinx doesn't even represent the interests of either city she's involved with, so it'd be better to say she works independently but has a nation of origin. Lucian would be similar; works alone but was Demacian born.
Celio Hogane HD5 votesBut the core of the characters are in what place represent, lucian represents a part of shadow isles, not demacia.
Celio Hogane HD2 votesThe contrary happens with Graves and Twisted fate, they represent a part of bilgewater, but they are going to piltower.
Sharjo15 votesLucian represents nothing about the Shadow Isles though - he's an enemy of it and has no connection to it via common history, powers or origins. In your example here he'd be more like TF and Graves; representing a part of Demacia but going to the Shadow Isles.

Yeah, Lucian represents the light and Justice of Demacia, like Garen and Lux, but in a revengeful and independent way, like Vayne and Fiora... a Mix between those 2 sides of the "Demacian Coin"
Jinx is the same... she doesn't represents anything of Piltover, she represents the unlawful and chaotic fun of the Zaunites.
Sharjo7 votesIt's good that champions like this exist because it expands nations beyond their borders. In a canon where a lot of the champions of the more established nations stick to their borders folks like Lucian and Jinx are good to have. Helps make things more involved and dynamic imo.
ExecutorDill3 votesI will piss myself with joy if this happens to be another cosmic champion, or mystical. I just looove that fantasy xD
DwarvenGiant3 votesI haven't seen anyone who thought that it'd be cool as hell to see another cosmic/mystical champion so soon, until now. :)
ExecutorDill2 votesThey are awesome bro xD I just love them!
IxtaliKing2 votesSo... the next champ will be a fighter? :/
Stars Shaper3 votesIf you refer to the "axe" I don't think that it's going to be his weapon. The emphasis is on the split personality which would fit more a mage.
PanterLily10 votesOne support and one ADC, for lonely people to play solo bot.
Just read this at sur@20 :D
Rinky Dinky6 votesPretty sure riot said the next champion will not be an assassin or a support
Lunar Calamity1 votesi feel like its gonna be a top laner cuts lets be real it's the loneliest lane and there already been word about it not being a support or assassin , possibly a hybrid cus ya know the whole two thing lamp side ap wolf side ad and seems like it would fit with the whole duel persona , and lately riot has been applying the feel of the champs to the kit, like 
new passive needing justice or 
new skill poke passive thing making her feel more like a fencer
Ralanr3 votesWhat about a midlaner? Haven't seen a new one for a while.
IxtaliKing1 votesSo the new champ being revealed tomorrow?
Stars Shaper1 votesI hope so but I doubt. I guess we surely get some more sneaks, the whole thing might get a while if it's going to come after the Pax.
