I'm guessing Noxus vs Demacia. Maybe the order vs chaos thing with Garen and Darius (and possibly J4 and Swain...One can dream). The description, as well as the color scheme and their respective portrayal through a lion and wolf fit really well as a depiction of Noxus (wolf) and Demacia (lion). The whole bloodthristy conquerors lurking for war vs the royal and proud conservationists looking for justice. This screams of these two nations.

So i'm guess a Noxus vs Demacia event (a vs event was mentionned on the previous dev diaries) with some skins for the country representatives. I could be wrong of course, rito has been known to like twisting things arround.

Could it be Garen vs Katarina? I mean the term "Lion among men" exists and the color motif kinda jives with demacia. Arrogance and more importantly momentum (spinning) as well as live forever (his passive).

Katarina on the other hand is bloodthirsty and the red and black color scheme is hers. Also never stop might be a reference to her resets or even her ult when killing.

Alternatively the wolf can be Darius, and bloodthirsty could refer to his passive.

This might be super far off, but maybe it is Leona vs Diana because the sun is a related motif to lions and the moon is akin to wolves.

I would be surprised if it turns out to actually be Warwick. He just got his lunar skin, so getting a high quality VS skin would be stupid.

That said, I almost wonder if it could be Kha'Zix despite being called a wolf. The previous VS skins were enemies in the lore, and Rengar vs Kha'Zix would make a lot more sense then Rengar vs Warwick. Furthermore, the description when translated fits this duo much more and how they are parallels to one another.

Well, we could take this literally. The Proud Lion being a lion champ & the Crazy Wolf being a wolf champ. In which case, really Skins team? Was Cat vs Dog really that much more interesting than the Alien vs Predator of League that's been a main rivalry for years? Also, Warwick just got a skin guys. Yes, it was a legacy skin. You could argue that it sucks that his 1st skin after his rework was a legacy skin, but it's not like he's lacking in skins.

OR we could take this figuratively. The Proud Lion not necessarily being a lion champ, a but champ with lion motifs. Maybe they have some Lion based armor or maybe their character is symbolized by a lion, which is often used to represent pride, strength, courage, leadership, blah blah bla. And the same for the Crazy Wolf. Who could they be, I don't know.

If I was a betting man, I would have to go with the literal interpretation. The skins team probably don't want to limit the VS skinline to canon rivalries. They want a bit more freedom with what matchups they can do. Oh well, we'll find out next week.

That's an interesting Aatrox rework

I love me a good vs event. Let the hype flow through you!

Weaver Ruin6/9/2018, 10:32:24 PM1 votes

It seems like a Marauder vs Warden skin line event.

HonestJohnTheCon6/9/2018, 10:38:13 PM1 votes

I'm not going to lie, I don't think it's Warwick. Yes, his VGU was a success, but he's not so popular that he's going to get two skins within half a year, I don't think.

Not quite sure who it could be, so I'm not gonna be betting this time around. I just hope it's somewhat canonical.

Tesla Effect6/9/2018, 10:46:28 PM1 votes

We already have Marauder Warwick, but Warden Rengar would look cool.

the marketing team of riot must be smoking if they think garen will give them a lot of money lol.

Well since I'm bias and I've been wanting a Versus Event for Leona and Diana forever now, I'm gonna try to stretch it for a theory. (But ultimately be disappointed because I know it's not gonna happen.) But maybe the Lion to represent "Leo"na and the sun, whereas wolves are commonly associated with the moon.

It's a huge stretch, I know, plus the quote doesn't really match up that well. "Unparalleled arrogance and short-sighted confrontation, the momentum is in full swing. The proud Lion is in the world and will live forever; Crazy Wolf is bloodthirsty and will never stop."

But one can dream. (Oh plus Diana just received a skin.)

Autrah Fang6/10/2018, 2:28:47 AM1 votes

I hope it isn't Rengar and WW... or Rengar at all if it isn't a VS skin set with Kha'zix :/ otherwise it doesn't make sense imo...

Skin Spotlights posted this picture and someone mentioned that it's Garen and Darius. They said if you look at it, the lion is Garen's sword and the wolves are Darius' axe.

Hexs Fortune6/10/2018, 3:06:13 AM1 votes

Demacia vs Noxius

The colors match up

For the Alliance!

Lady Faceless6/10/2018, 8:06:09 AM1 votes

So, Meme answer: Tryndamere vs Aatrox

Serious answer: Probably Darius vs Garen, even if it would be boring and Darius already has a legendary.

Ahri and Ezreal

Camille Ferrøs6/9/2018, 8:19:38 PM1 votes

Rengar vs Warwick !? what .... Kha .....nvm

sumerska6/9/2018, 8:23:56 PM1 votes

I'd suggest Shen vs. Zed, but Shen just recently got his long awaited skin.

Lady Faceless6/9/2018, 8:37:25 PM1 votes

There is a german teaser as well. https://twitter.com/LoLGermany/status/1005546209132638210

The rough translation would be: Two forces meet: The Lion wants to rule forever. The Wolf longs for the eternal war.

Worst Kench NA6/9/2018, 8:44:58 PM1 votes

I guess Khazix lost then

Akali Prime6/9/2018, 9:26:17 PM1 votes

WHAT?! since when did rengo and ww ever cross paths in lore? also they both just got skins very recently. [sg-lux-2]

Johnny El Rojo6/9/2018, 8:18:41 PM1 votes

Funny they choose these two. Lorewise they don't have any relation. Yasuo and Riven at least had it. I wonder why they made this choice. Cool idea, nonetheless.

WindOfVengeance6/10/2018, 11:32:10 AM1 votes

I swear, if this shit isn't about Rengar i'm going to hang myself (but knowing Riot tho it's probably WolfBlade Yasuo and LionBlade Riven, or some Ahri/Lux bullshit)

Morganja6/11/2018, 12:52:42 AM1 votes

Kayn VS Zed (master vs student) I wish
