Ok, now put on your seatbelts.

"We have a bunch of new champions in various stages of development. I’m not going to go over all of the champions in production (spoilers), just the one that has been infesting my mind lately — a new carry champion that we think will perform well in the jungle. After Ivern, we wanted to try our hand at a more aggressive, damage-focused champion that should feel at home in the jungle. They will also be our first transformation champion since Gnar, but this take on transformation will be unlike any champion we have ever made. I don’t want to say much more than that for now, but keep an eye out for more info soon."

Keep an eye out for more info soon (what a funny guy, huh)

It's happening my friends. Either that or Riot just baited me in the most spectacular of ways. So there's two possibilities:

  1. If it is a Frozen watcher: Boy I sure hope it's a frozen watcher, if it's a frozen watcher I'll lose my mind. reveal happens OH SWEET MOMMA
  2. If it's not a frozen watcher and all this teasing has been for nothing, I'll kidnap Reav3, dip him in brown gravy and put him in a cage with a wolverine who's high on angel dust.

PS: I don't take credit for any of the pictures. I just love them for existing and filling me with hope. PS2 (or PPS, I don't know): Props to George Carlin for inventing the greatest form of punishment known to mankind. Also, don't think I'm playing, bud. I know where you live.

Edit 1: That feeling when you already bought the gravy but the reveal shows it's a darkin champ so you have to put the gravy away. It ain't a watcher, but it's the next best thing, so I'll take it.

Overall I think the idea of a frozen Watcher who evolves throughout the game rather cool,but the eye does look rather different from the watchers eyes.(but who knows,if we'd ever get a watcher in the game,then I doubt that he'd be a regular watcher)

Some people and I were thinking about that the character might infest jungle creature's minds. The eye looks like Rift Herald's eye, there is an eye hint, and he says this particular character is "infesting his mind". In addition, that would be a unique way of transformation.

Whilst the reveal has turned all of my theory into baloney, I have to say I would love seeing your idea being used for a future champ.

Where'd you find those last two images? I don't recall seeing them around anywhere.

First one is from a picture from a Riot artbook, second one was fan made and can be found on imgur. They can both be found online by searching "frozen watcher".

''put him in a cage with a wolverine who's high on angel dust''

I got that George Carlin reference.
