The constellation listed as a Watcher looks very much like Vel'koz, further backing up earlier thoughts that the Watchers might be of his race, particularly with Rek'sai's lore pointing to Void creatures indeed being parts of larger races, even their name identifying them as such...

The point of the pondering: With Vel's original death animation, and the recall animation of his Arclight skin, it's been shown that the only part that's really 'him' is his eye. The body appears to be a shell, which is controlled by the eye. If that applies to the rest of the race, then minor differences would actually make sense; that is, members of the race likely have/had similar shells, but minor differences wouldn't rule them out. They might even create new shells for different tasks.

As far as the recent speculation over Void hierarchy... If they were the Watchers, then it's likely that they were on top of other Void creatures, or at least powerful enough to have a presence both there and in the Freljord. They may still be in a powerful position within the Void. They simply seem the most likely to be in control, with how knowledgeable Vel'koz seems to be. With the Iceborn incident in mind, the coming Void invasion that's been hinted at may even be orchestrated by them; a way of completing their ancient goal of dominance, doubling as revenge against the humans that pushed them back into the Void.

Uhm what? That thing looks nothing like vel'koz It has a weird frozen head with giant frozen horns(things that seemingly all watchers had if you look at the statues of the howling abyss),its eye is much smaller than vel'kozs main eye(special emphasis on main,since he has actually 4) and it has a completly different design too,it has a weird tube-like body and it has fricking human hands(remember how vel'koz finds elbows obscene?),no void creature ever had any human-looking body parts.Even vel'kozs eyes don't look human at all.

If anything it points in the opposite direction.We knew that the watchers have only one eye,but some people thought those horns would be tentacles(like vel'kozs),now we know that the watchers look nothing like vel'koz and the only resemblance is that they both have one main eye(and even that one looks extremely different,with the eye of the watcher looking more human like than vel'kozs)

The devs already straight-up said Vel'koz isn't a watcher.

That said, the material of the armor of the Watchers might be the same as what Vel'koz uses.

I like how they keep feeding us bits and pieces of the Watcher's story through multiple champion releases that seem to have no solid connection. Was Vel'Koz the one-eyed beast that attacked Gnar and his family? Why was Gnar encased? Is this Vel'koz's first visit to Runeterra? Where on earth does the gate locked by a Frozen Watcher on Howling Abyss lead to...?

What is the obsession with Vel'Koz being a Watcher? The Void has no connection to ice, and the Watcher has horns and hands, not tentacles.
