Aurelion Sol is going to be the champ. If I remember correct Riot has said that Sol will be out in a while, but is not the next champ to be released. They also said that Taric will be after a new champ is released. So one is probably Taric but the other is not Sol.
Edit: I stand corrected. Aurelion Sol might be the next champ.
Taric is the next "champ/rework" we are going to get
Can I get a link to this statement? All I've heard is that Aurelion will be sometime within the first half of 2016. There are currently two open slots for the Targon event. One's obviously for Taric while the last is up to speculation. Could it be Aurelion? Maybe. However it could also be an already existing champion getting retconned to Mt. Targon.
So in the end, while we’re sorry to have hyped up the idea of a serpentine, storm-wielding dragon for so long, we’re still very excited to deliver a dragon champion this year that we hope you’ll love. Aurelion Sol’s got some big shoes (claws?) to fill, but we still like surprises so stay tuned - any of our next few champions could be him!
Explain this.
Aurelion Sol, if it does become his final name, will more than likely be associated with Mount Targon. Riot wouldn't tease this kind of stuff unless they had a plan.
