Too bad this picture is more than a month old and from a Chinese MOBA. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/xNx22

This splash art has quality of Riot, it makes the chance higher, but I'm not sure. If it is real, I believe he is %90 going to be support.

What about a jungle support?

Like Alistar in the past? Possible IMO.

Yeah, why not? Although, it's worth mentioning that Alistar didn't seem very... support-y in the jungle. Like, he wasn't a cross between a support and a jungler, he was just a jungler that could also go support, if that makes any sense.

i feel like his abilities are going to interact with the jungle creeps

"Nope." - Galio

GreenLore1 votes

Sooooo turns out you were wrong,as we got now an Ivern-teaser,that makes it clear that he is a protector of the jungle(so this teaser is obviously for him)

OR JUNGLER .-. its been a while since we got a devoted jungler.

Catastrop1 votes

While I'd agree, it seems rather...strange. I mean the guy's all friendly with the jungle camps and making him a jungler, who will in turn kill the camps over and over is just so....morbid. Then again that all means nothing when, https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vqgSO8_cRio/hqdefault.jpg

i can confirm this because the new quotes go along with this guy perfectly.

SSmotzer1 votes

The quotes are from Galio.

GreenLore1 votes

Uhm you know they just started with the galio rework,he is far from finished...

SSmotzer2 votes

Well, they clearly have the voice acting done.

Meep Man3 votes

How do you know it's Galio?

SSmotzer1 votes

It has the same voice actor as Galio, in the same tone of voice, with the same outcast feel in Galio's story.

Shadowkirby141 votes

You don't know that. Unless they listed the VA's name under it, there's no significant proof that it's Galio's VA.

SSmotzer1 votes

Have you listened to it? They sound exactly the same.

Shadowkirby141 votes

I have, and they don't sound the same, not even close.

But let's just say that he does, I doubt that it's actually Galio. Riot has brought some of the same voice actors to do different champions before. Adam Harrington for Old Ryze, Old Karthus, Kassadin, Shaco, and Mordekaiser, Erik Braa with Jax, Draven, and Vel'Koz, and Matt Mercer with Gangplank and Kindred (Wolf).

If they brought back Galio's voice actor, he could be voicing a new champion and, maybe, Galio. The only time he could be revoicing Galio is if he could win the audition against other voice actors.

SSmotzer1 votes

And he clearly did.

GreenLore1 votes

Yeah because it makes so much sense to tease a rework now even though the rework will take several months to finish. Not to mention that hiring a new Voice actor is clearly the first priority when making a rework,its not like fixing the kit and character comes first

SSmotzer1 votes

A new voice actor? It's the old voice actor for Galio with a voice filter to make him sound like he's made of rocks.

Environmentalist1 votes

support! support! support! support!

1wolfpack1 votes

even if he is not a support i'd play him as a support!

Mistress Shyvana4 votes

If you look at the PBE there's some of his VO there, and it sounds like an old man. but hes probably gonna be a jungler, because they said the next champs were yordleKled and a jungler. and we didnt get a jungling yordle sadly ;-;(even though kled can jungle he was made for top lane and Riot gimped his jungle game on purpose)

1wolfpack1 votes

that makes sense given that in the picture he looks like he lives in a jungle/forest.

Wouldn't make sense. If you would take a look at his quotes, he'd see like the type of guy who wouldn't kill them himself. Likely a Support.

1wolfpack1 votes

TBH I didnt look at his quotes, I was basing my opinion on the picture and the comments of the guy above me.

but I guess we will find out in due time

Emmerlaus1 votes

Poppy CAN jungle if needed. But yeah, shes not a dedicated jungler.

SSmotzer1 votes

Don't worry, the new champion will most definitely be a support/tank.

rand0mredneck1 votes

Looks like a Ryze skin to me.

Embertine1 votes

Matches the voice in the new video.

cinomenapplebae1 votes

I feel like he might be a only ranged mage jg

cinomenapplebae1 votes

remeber to quote me on this and come back to it if its true

Keepe1 votes

Lone Druid, huh?

Blue Moon Wolf1 votes

I could see that as the new champ, just a bit surprising that splash art would be out already. Though it would be really cool to have a "forest wizard" archetype champ.

DragonMastaWolfy1 votes

Well, the VO in the teaser does look like it goes along with this body, so this has got to be real.

GreenLore1 votes

Hmm could be legit,but we won't know for sure until we get more info on the champ. Though one problem I see with the splash is that we barely see his body(only his head and arms are visible),which is kinda unusual for a splash art.

On a side note we also have to keep in mind that this splash could actually be his release skin.

there is no way this guy is a jungler. based on the quotes from the PBE VO and his appearance. he would be a midlane mage or support. unless riot completely went bipolar and made those quotes and made him a jungler, which would make no sense.

Why does this look (if it's him) and his VO automatically make him not a jungler? At first glance, you'd Never think Kindred or Graves or Quinn are junglers, and they certainly have been. Plus, why would a support and midlaner have such intimate discussions with jungle monsters? They're never in the jungle to see them.

The Last Ballad1 votes

But why would you feel sad about something dying when you have killed it repeatedly? Support is likely as his bearing reminds me of Braum and Soraka. Only more concerned about animal/earth formations than people(so far).

He feels remorse for it. Why wouldn't you feel bad about taking lives of animals and beasts over and over?

Also, supports have 0% interaction in the jungle. They wouldn't be in a familiarity with the monsters like this voice has, since they never see them and are in lane.

vampirekid131 votes

probably a support, green is the healing color and he has very nurse centric lines in the VO

Kar98k1 votes

we already have Zilean, no more old man please......

The Last Ballad1 votes

Did you forget that Ryze is centuries old?

tigersharkguy1 votes

This guy looks cool and all, but I think that the VO lines that are allegedly spoken by Sorag are probably spoken by the yorick rework. The lines reference death a lot, and that fits yorick's theme, while this guy looks like a second rate final fantasy boss. And I don't think another champion will be teased for at least two weeks.

Akenero1 votes

no, that's actually the new champion. The lines on the PBE are about a friend of nature, and this guy is a nature wizard.
