Poor little grill... 
Edit :
I don't know why, but i feel like she is younger in the pic. I mean, her hair are not the totally the same if you look her Splash Art, she don't have the "VI" on her cheek, and she is finally wearing NORMAL clothes and not an armor - ish weird thing. It's like a return to the past when she found the big robots hand in the mine.
Kıng Boo21 votesAfter this final teaser I've come to a pretty solid conclusion.
In this case, Vi loses her gauntlets, a major characteristic trait for her. Yet there's one thing. The gauntlets also stopped her ambition. Vi wants peace, her being an officer and all. Yet she uses violence (the gauntlets) to enforce this peace, thus counteracting her wish.
Sona is a musician, known for playing the Etwahl and all that. Yet, she's a mute, due to an unknown curse that hinders her. In her teaser she was shot in the throat, which is where the vocal chords are.
Garen is a warrior for Demacia, a straight-justice kingdom that doesn't take mercy, only battle and justification. Garen's selection quote is: 'My heart, always for Demacia'. Yet, in the teaser...he's shot in the chest, presumably in the heart as well.
And finally: Zed. Zed was blinded or corrupted by the shadows once he opened the chest that contained them. In his teaser...he was shot through the eye, with a blue light being visible. Perhaps this shot had purified his mind?
It's not plausible to say that these champions are in fact dead. Considering the icons you see make them look like...they're sleeping, or in a comatose state. If anything they look more at peace than any other time. Could it be this person, Deadeye, Jhin, whatever you want to call them, is freeing them of the restraints that keep them from their dreams and ambitions?
ƒoes2 votesPlease, make this a thread so it gets more noticing. This is a really good theory; keep it.
WeFlyNoLie1 votesAmen to that!
Blue Moon Wolf1 votesI think this is the most plausible link between these champs I've heard. Trying to figure out how these champs relate has been like one of those math problems where there is a row of numbers and you have to figure out what the pattern is.
SoQuiche1 votesFantastic.
Valaran Nara20 votesShe got shot in the back where the power coupling is. If you play Vi, you notice there's always an energy reading or circular light on her back. I'm assuming that's where the power source for her gloves are to help her hold them up and in place. Jihn shot the power coupling keeping the gloves together, and they completely fell off of her.
Nicosarea10 votesSorry, I just laughed so hard when OP said "Poor little grill... "
But damn, that sneak-peek looks amazing!
Potato Doc7 votesJust a note, not only are her gauntlets destroyed but it also seems like she was shot in the stomach by the small piercing light shown there.
revliledpembroke33 votesStomach? No, she's been "SHOT THROUGH THE HEART AND YOU'RE TO BLAME!"
CornbreadAvenger14 votesYOU GIVE LOOOVE A BAD NAME!
StarlingSweet1 votesId say she was shot through her back
ƒoes8 votesForensics & Ballistics getchyo asses over here.
She was shot in the back; if she was shot in the stomach, she would be lurching forward, but since she's arching her back like she is, she was shot there.
sorry if i sound like a smartass, im not trying to sound that way
Potato Doc1 votesI mean if you wanna get technical yes she was shot in the back but the region of which she was shot is the stomach area, im not wrong but neither are you

Except if the projectile penetrates the body, there really wouldn't be enough kinetic energy transferred to actually affect her body in any noticeable way (I don't know the nitty gritty details, but basically it doesn't matter how much force a projectile have, if all that force is only applied to a very small concentrated part of the body it will simply penetrate straight through, you would need at least something the size of a bowling ball if you wanted to knock somebody back. . . hmm, or maybe a tennis ball would work, if it was made of compact lead. . . ).
Bootleg Gay4 votesKnew they'd rip off her arms.
Ralanr2 votesIt looks like they melted off.
kaltenashes1 votesor it was removed from her, like she wants/fears to go back to her past or something like that
charcharmunro2 votesI can't be the only one who's reminded of Xerath by this. I know he probably has no relation, but it just reminds me of him.

kaltenashes1 votesdeadeye bard skin confirmed
Itadaki Seieki2 votesMaybe everyone wanted a wish to come true, so this something did that. Maybe Vi wished to just live a normal life, stop being who she is secretly. Her pose is like she ascended, like she's something more now that the gauntlets aren't there.

Now this is interesting. Is this depicting Vi losing her gauntlets or gaining them? (Maybe some kind of metaphorical/Spiritual journey on how Vi equipped the gauntlets and became the crime fighter of justice she is today?)
Riizq1 votesThose hands!! They look damn good! Better than them gauntlets.
Ziovi1 votesno-gauntlets Vi skin, how do you like the sound of that?
myCro1 votesWhy in every teaser is so much darkness? So many shadows? :)
kaltenashes1 votesor maybe its a wish/nightmare to go back to her previous group
this deadeye seems to me like prophet, maybe he traded/lost his vision (blind) to be able to see the inner truth in each and every person plus jhin sounds like dhjin which is a genie
so much especulations, but i think i'm on the right path
Zenanii1 votesWaah, I totally called Vi getting hit in the hearth. You guys remember right, back in the Sona speculation thread on page 12? No? Well, I'm reminding ya all, so you better go look it up just so you can see how right I was!
Ahem, anyway we have a clear patter now. Zed in the eye, Sona in the throat and now Vi in the hearth. Wanna bet Garen gets hit in the head? (Should be around the temple by my estimation. Or maybe the ear).
The question is: are they hit by physical atacks, or are they affected by some kind of mental atack? Maybe these pictures are some kind of metaphor for the characters getting mentally crushed/manipulated/controlled?
Ward LV1 votesI made a theory about these teasers http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/BqGBkfWL-about-the-new-champion
67019198_DEL1 votesmaybe they made her straight?
IxtaliKing1 votesLmao
Remlap12231 votesRito wasn't kidding Vi really does have tiny hands. I guess Jhins trying to say she's compensating for something.
MysticFlameHaze1 votesmaybe the new champ has the ability to steal something from you
Punkkee1 votesweird stance... there is no bullet on her back. her stance makes it look like she was shot on the back and the impact of the shot made her make this stance in the picture but there is no shot in the back. instead it's in the front. but being shot from the front will result in a different stance. looking at it differently, it may not have been a shot, rather, an explotion
Nahara1 votesNo, she's still wearing her normal outfit.
You can clearly make out the frill on the side of her corset thingy and her mini jacket. The rest is too dark to see, but it's probably safe to say she's wearing her normal clothes.
Ravenstiker1 votesHoly shit that kinda looks like Eternum Nocturne
Athenes Lulu1 votesHer arms.... they don't look normal.
Looks like some kind of scar.
Colnoel Sanders1 votesWe could be looking at this too far, it might be a re-work
Uruz1 votesI think these teasers are about what the champions gave up to attain their powers. Zed lost his soul (often said to reside in the eyes which he doesn't have), Sona lost her voice, Garen is torn between his hear and duty, and Vi lost her memories, not sure what she traded them for except maybe her solitary criminal life for a chance at redemption. Not sure if Jhin took these things from them to grant them power like a genie or if it is taking the things they gained to remove their power. Could be a nod to its abilities a blind a silence an armor pen and a damage over time effect or burn. "Shrug" regardless I hope they do a cinematic to go with this Champ.
Blainezy1 votesEverytime I see Vi, all I can think about is Chiffon Fairchild from Freezing... Dem arms...
CasterGilgamesh2 votesoh no you made me feel sad i remember what happened to her....that arc made me so depressed. RIP Chiffon FairChild....

She was the best, but the manga right now is incredible. Even though I still miss her:( lol.
CasterGilgamesh1 votesi love the manga
TheBestWorstPlyr1 votesOne Punch Vi would be great
Critmaster Garen1 votesive seen a pretty convincing theory, that the new champion might be a djinn. theyre powerful tricksters and able to possess either objects or living beings.
he granted each of the 4 champions a favour, and twisted their wishes somehow.
wanted power, but he lost his soul for it.
wanted an instrument, or music and lost her voice for it.
wanted to find a worthy opponent, and fell in love with her when they met. (one that he isnt allowed to admit)
wanted a new life (not as a criminal), but lost her past for it.
i dont think its gonna be an adc. what people mistake for a gunshot are either drums or thunder. and what people mistake for bullet wounds seems to break free from the inside of these champions.
the places arent chosen at random. zeds eyes, zonas throat, garens heart, vis fists.
plus, it doesnt look like these champions are being killed. vi almost looks relieved as if shes breaking free of her gauntlets.
all of them got what they wanted but not the way they expected. for example vi is free of the violent life of a criminal, but not free of the violence in her life.
