There is a dragon on the left! Which means they might finally put out another ...Shyvana or Dragonslayer Vayne skin!

That just means Swain is not in this patch. Probably next one. Still... :(

KillaburnJan 8, 20182 votes

they can be in the same patch though, like zoe with the project skins. But overall, not likely considering there's no swain teaser yet.

Werewolf? I see 2 dragons, which doesn't necessarily mean Aurelion is getting a skin.

Lunar Revel is a Chinese based event. Dragons are a regular theme. https://lolstatic-a.akamaihd.net/site/skins-lunar-revel-intro/96b60e0e160d8f52487c7aa4e72acaad72cbab52/images/social-preview.jpg

"The Natural Titan, the cruel beast and I - the light of the new year."

Stars ShaperJan 8, 20186 votes

The "Immovable" Titan it says on S@20 so I guess that one is Nasus while the vicious beast could very well be WW. (Edit: though the description alone would be more fitting for Malphite )

Aurelion would be the light of the new year opposing them (which is even more hyping).

V The Support VJan 8, 20181 votes

How is Aurelion the light of the new year? I think it would be cool if he did get a skin, but I wouldn't count your chickens..

It's going to be Lux, because Lux's skins were recently changed into the new file format.

It's going to be Nasus , Warwick , and Lux .

V The Support VJan 8, 20182 votes

The "Light" could also be Leona

Edit: ^^He Nailed It.

RavenHuskyJan 8, 20182 votes

Leona refers specifically to the Sun, and ASol specifically to the stars. "Light of the New Year" (Light of Demcia, anyone?) points more towards Lux than the other two.

Xodiathe4bdn1Jan 8, 20182 votes

Right like how this was screaming Janna and not Shen https://i.redd.it/bvnorwyyf0lz.jpg Light has many sources; the sun, the stars even fire and it wouldn’t be the first time a teaser threw everyone’s assumptions way off So despite lux being on WAD it can apply to chromas or a completely different skin down the line and not all upcoming skins are put on new file format. But in all honesty I’m 50/50 on the light being Lux or AurelionSol And 100% sure the other two are Warwick and Nasus We’ll all just have to wait and see

SancreJan 9, 20182 votes

At this point, if they ignore Aurelion and actually make another Lux skin, people will get pissed again, but she is one of Riot girls, so no real surprise if they ever made another one so soon.

The wisest thing would be leaving Aurelion out for dragon's year, but waiting for 2024 I think it was, would be extremelly cruel to give him a skin.

About it being Nasus or Warwick, I can't help but think that Nasus might not be added, as stupid as this sound, just because other years they refused to make more than one animal representative skin(and most years they didn't even made a representative animal skin), so they are probably taking Warwick and the immovable titan is Galio or something

Death RexJan 8, 20183 votes

The teaser says "immovable titan". Sounds like Galio to me

RavenHuskyJan 8, 20186 votes

The Immovable Titan is Nasus , because it's the year of the Dog.

Death RexJan 8, 20182 votes

Yeah I know, but it still sounds like a title you would give Galio instead of Nasus. Just wanted to point that out

RavenHuskyJan 9, 20181 votes

How often do you see Nasus continually farming top lane?

Death RexJan 10, 20181 votes

You got a point there. I'm convinced.

AquariusGineJan 8, 20183 votes

I thought Aurelion Sol was due for a mini rework before getting more skins??

Stars ShaperJan 8, 20182 votes

They tried something but turned out so bad they deleted it asap and decided to move to other projects.

HusbandoJan 8, 20181 votes

Mini rework? I'm not aware? item 3070

Explain if you will.

Mini rework? I'm not aware?

Explain if you will.

Riot has said on multiple occasions that they would like to perform a small mini rework on Aurelion Sol to make him feel more satisfying. You can do a quick google

Chembaron YamadaJan 9, 20181 votes

As far as I know, that rework got cancelled. We won't see anything in that regard anytime soon.

Akali PrimeJan 8, 20183 votes

HAHA just kidding its more Ahri Annie and MasterYi skins

SukishooJan 8, 20183 votes

Now that I've had time to pick at this..

Let us look at this in the more logical fashion of Riot, shall we? As we saw with the Immortal Journey's Sword teaser last year, things can be very misleading in the mind of Riot.

Let us start at the beginning with the tagline that was given. "The realm is safe as long as we stand. The immovable titan, the vicious beast, and I—the light of the new year." This tells us there are at least 3 characters that have been chosen to come for this, which pretty much follows along with the more recent years (the past 4) as we've gotten fewer skins in events so they can make them higher quality.

Second, 2018 is the Year of the Dog. Why is that important? Well, League's main Dog is Nasus , so why not use this as a time to give him a new skin? His last major skin was his Legendary in 2013, and then after that, he had two 750 tiers, one for 2015, and another in 2016. So I feel they could give him a nice 1350 for something like this. Looking at the tagline, you could say he's The immovable titan or even the vicious beast, as either of those could suit him.

Third, people are saying AurelionSol , which is okay given we see what appears to be a dragon on the side there. Though, I'd say that's not a good enough reason to jump right towards him. The Lunar Revel is League's version of the Chinese new year afterall and Chinese themes usually have some kind of Dragon floating around in them as we have seen that be a theme for the Lunar revel quite a bit (even if it's not the main theme of the year). There's also the fact Sol hasn't had a skin since his release in 2016. Riot tends to keep from giving new skins to champions if the skin is possibly going to be Legacy. Lunar Revel skins have been mostly legacy in the past with some being Permanent. There's champions like Diana who saw a Lunar skin as her first skin in 2014 be permanent, so it's not to say it couldn't happen, but it's just something to keep in mind.

Lastly, there's the part of the tagline that says " and I—the light of the new year" this part I find interesting. There are many sources of Light, however, the main light based champion in League is Lux . She was on the list of WAD files made for champions that might be seeing something soon. It also makes me think it might be for her as we also see this bright light coming from the teaser. So the visual of the creatures displayed in the art could just be something meant to mislead as this light could be something as well.

Then I don't really have much to say on the possible Warwick skin. I mean, it could happen as he's a dog-esque champ so he could be in here too.

ChauvinPlaysLoLJan 8, 20182 votes

Please note it is the year of the dog. It’s Nasus. He’s a dog. Last year it was the year of the rooster. Azir is a bird kinda rooster. Thing. Next year is the year of the pig. No clue who that will be.

Year after that is rat, Twitch anyone? And then it’s ox, which is most likely Alistar.

KillaburnJan 8, 20182 votes

Pig will be sejuani and her pig, bristle :)

MrSpirit1420Jan 8, 20182 votes

I th8nk it's more likely to be a nautalis skin because nautalis is the TITAN of the deep

Frozen DivaJan 8, 20182 votes

Well I wish it would be an A-Sol skin. AurelionSol But that Sword thing turned out to be Janna. And (clearly) Sivirs voice in the PROJECT Teaser turned out to be Vayne. So yeah, totally random. Might also be Singed or whatever xD

Guess it'll be Lux because of $$$

HusbandoJan 8, 20181 votes

There was a "leaked 2018 skins" list. And it said that Aurelion Sol, Taliyah and Nasus would get the Lunar skins. i have faith. AurelionSol

SukishooJan 8, 20186 votes

There was a more accurate "leak" that was based on the new WAD file format in the game that showed these champions may be getting skins in 2018

Lux MF Nunu Gragas Cho'Gath Xayah Rakan Heimerdinger Jax Nasus Akali

Jax is one we know will be in this weeks live patch (God Staff Jax), and now with this teaser it looks like Nasus is indeed another.. the rest are TBD.

LuxannaVeritasJan 9, 20181 votes

Lux, Gragas, Xayah, Rakan, Nasus, and Jax has all been confirmed for 2018 skins.

Warwick is the only one not on that list, which means that this probably doesn't state all of the possible champions that are getting skins. (Some of the newer champions might not be on the list because their file format was changed during release/rework.)

KillaburnJan 9, 20182 votes

i believe warwick is in the 1st wad file batch. we even thorize that he is the bad santa last snowdown / in this years lunar revel which is by far correct

SukishooJan 9, 20181 votes

O right, now I remember seeing the one that said "Bad Santa Warwick". Looks like he got a different skin though XD

KillaburnJan 9, 20181 votes

yeah lmao!

SukishooJan 9, 20181 votes

Well of course not, it was just some of them that changed at the time. Plus there's always the fact that they've had other champions show up on their lists since we saw the major leaks have a majority of skins but then we saw things like Chemtech Tryn and Conqueror Karma. So there's other things not making it perfectly clear to see all of the upcoming skins.
