[THEORY], Pyke.

So our new champion, Pyke, he looks like a pirate, he has that same crest around his neck like Gangplank has (The "Pirate coat" you could say,) his theme is underwater, and people betrayed him. This leaves a pretty obvious theory, He was on Gangplank's ship before miss fortune blew it up, and the survivors (Including GP) left him for dead. Yeah, that's what I thought as well, but there are some inconsistencies.

-A different emblem on his crest. -That list is AWFUL long for how few survivors Gangplank had left.

This is my end theory.

He insided Gangplank's ship for Miss Fortune (MissFortune ) and once Fortune was there for her revenge, instead of getting him off the ship, she just blew it up. (In the canon lore, Miss Fortune blows up Gangplanks ship for those of you who didn't know)

This means that he was working for Miss Fortune which is whom actually betrayed "Pyke" (I quote from the trailer, "I remember the day I died, and those who betrayed me") This would explain the overly long list considering GPs ship had very few survivors, Gangplank didn't leave Pyke for dead, Fortune did, he was a tool so she could gain revenge on Gangplank. https://i.imgur.com/O6y3MKJ.png[/img]

This is an awesome theory. I still prefer the theory that Pyke is Nautilus's soul while Nautilus is Pyke's body.

But both theories are really cool.

From what we know about Pyke is he has been doing this for a long time... like hundreds of years. He has been stalking the back alleys of Bilgwater killing anyone alone, because he sees all of Bilgewater as those who betrayed him.

So unless GP and MF are much older than they appear, this theory doesn't hold much water.

I see it being highly doubtful. The trailer and picture clearly shows him being eaten by a giant Turtle Leviathan, dont think he was blown up. I Think they hurled him to be eaten so other could survive, probably tried to catch something bigger than they could chew, i mean, look at the size of that thing.

That's a pretty good theory. I can't wait for him to be showcased on the LoL website to see what his lore is and if this theory follows up.

I like the theories but I think it's not supposed to be connected to anything. As in, there is no conspiracy or something behind, it's just to make revenge define him without it being connected to some already established event. As in, he was betrayed by unnamed crew of unnamed ship with unnamed purpose that has no importance and is just the backstory.

_In the years that followed, tales of Miss Fortune spread far and wide, each more fanciful than the last. She captured the Syren from a captain who learned the hard way what it meant to slip a hand where it wasn’t wanted, drowned the master of the Silk-Knife Corsairs in a barrel of her own rum, and dragged the insane Doxy-Ripper from his lair in the belly of a half-dismembered leviathan in the slaughter docks. _

Pyke is also gp's vengeful ex gay lover. [slayer-pantheon-rainbows]

My theory: It was a fishing trip gone wrong

I think pyke won't be related heavily to other bilgewater character so that the region doesn't feel so small

naut history is . naut is sailor or something like that he wear the suit to save some of his people but the suit where too heavy and he got the bottom of the sea in pyke history pyke whe one of the MissFortune crew he was like something like spy and she blow up the ship but she didnt try to find him or save him the one had a suit the other one where a pirate there is ni logick

this is a wonderful theory, but he died when he tried to fight the beast in his teaser, cause he says ,,I remember the day i died,, right when he jumps into the monsters mouth , and his ship mates insted trying to help him they just saved their asses and ran off like lil cowards and left him to die

pretty sure that's just fancy gold trimming, not the exact same design

I don't have enough faith in Riot's Lore team to become too invested in this theory. It's entirely possible, but it'll probably end up being a random, isolated incident.

Sadly, fan theories are usually better than the final product.
