Two things:
A) I bloody called it! It's Irelia!
Andd B) "In the end though, it felt right for the raven general to be on the battlefield ripping the souls out of his enemies rather than sitting back in a tent commanding troops"
Huh...This does sound kinda like 
puts on tinfoil helmet
Ralanr26 votesHoly hell yes, Irelia is next.
I hope her stun gets thrown in the furnace.
Malicious Metal27 votesThe soul furnace?
DuskDaUmbreon44 votesI'm fine with her stun staying, but dear Arceus, please let it get changed. I should not be punished for winning a trade with her...
Linna Excel2 votesWould a stun work on the new irelia though?
Without seeing what riot's plans are for everything that isn't her Q, it's impossible to say one way or another if she gets any CC.
Sukishoo6 votesNah, now she can just stun a whole team! ;)
Ravenhale5 votesBut only if she lands 4 consecutive attacks on her marked enemy.
50000000000000007 votesAnd let Tiamat applies this effect, so that she can't have multiple build paths. ######kappa
Bob the Toastr4 votesInb4 "Better nerf Irelia"
Jeddy01724 votesI imagine Gbay sense a disturbance in the force.
As for me: AAAAAAWWWWWW YYYYEEEAAAAHHH BITCHES!! Let's get the Irelia hype started. Let's go! Spring or Early Summer 2018 can't get here soon enough.
Blood Magicks18 votesGET HYPE
LADS MY HEART
NOXUS HYPE METER: 
NOXUS HYPE METER JUST BROKE
Doozku9 votesNoxus hype meter broke
we got 1 liter tho
OurLestrade17 votesI'll be honest, I got a bit of a flutter seeing that Swain picture. THAT was the style I was looking for :P
THE RlVER KlNG16 votesIf Riot thinks I, a tank main who enjoys big brawny champs like Tahm, Urgot, and Illaoi, will play a cutesy multicolored bubble mage with butterflies and troll-y Lulu like magic
then they are absolutely right
Mordepool13 votesI get she is stat checky. My money was on NuNu poor bastard
Killaburn3 votes[zombie-nunu-tears]
KuroCaliber2 votesLol Killaburn, waited for you to show up.
Killaburn2 voteshuhu, we will get(nunu) the spotlight next time :)
A Superb Villain9 votesAlso sparkles!
Plz, no. I enjoy my midlane dark and devious.
Malicious Metal7 votesWell, you see. Their loss will be so much greater if the whimsical gets nuked out of mid.
A Superb Villain13 votesYou are correct, but I'm not sure I can handle another bubbly midlaner with a light motif. Lux is enough.
######I can still hear her, laughing, always laughing just out of range, poking from safety, ulting from the fog of war.
Edit: WAAARGHBOBO let it slip the new champion has a negative opinion of Lux. http://i.imgur.com/cece489.png?noredirect

laughter intensifies
Chembaron Yamada8 votesBut there will be bubbles. Everybody loves bubbles! [sg-ahri-2]
Poolparty Sauron12 votesLight and happines in midlane? NUKE IT
Fairyfleur4 votesno >:(
A Superb Villain3 votesHave mercy.
Velzard of Koz5 votesNew Mage hard counter to Veigar confirmed
Brutusness9 votesThat Swain illustration... salivating intensifies
Warlord Dienekes8 votes"With this in mind, we’ve redirected some time to creating a new burst mage with the tools to approach a fight from… interesting angles."
She's gonna bounce around like a rabbit high on bath salts, isn't she?
Anyway, woo, not Panth. Get to keep my main for a little while longer.
With the change in Swain's title and focus, I hope that means an actual commander style character can be in the works. Though I disagree that commander necessarily means sitting in the back, a lot of amazing military leaders were frontline fighters. In any case, Swain's awesome, I hope the end result is great.
Hovering Hentai6 votesI'm guessing the new champs gonna bend faerie related like lulu. I see sparkles and butterflies
Chembaron Yamada9 votesPretty obvious that the champ will introduce a new CC as well: asleep.
Fairyfleur3 votesBasically Mystic as a new champion
marpatt112 votesPretty obvious that the champ will introduce a new CC as well: asleep.
Yeah, sleep is often used in other mobas, almost all of them except league have the mechanic already, even Dota has the sleep mechanic. I am hoping it will be done right, though.
Cowseed1 votesIs it going to be like a Final Fantasy type sleep where enemies knock you out of it and might carry an exception of magic or is it something like in Pocket Monsters?
marpatt112 votesIs it going to be like a Final Fantasy type sleep where enemies knock you out of it and might carry an exception of magic or is it something like in Pocket Monsters?
Well the only CC type of sleep I have played with was in Dota, and in that game its basically a super long stun, but if you take damage from a hero (or champion in leagues case) then you wake up, ending the CC
Nintendo 3DS3 votesThe new champions is a cute mage using bubbles and butterfiles but who has a negative opinion on Lux...??
Riot...don't tell me you made a "dark" champion by personnality but who still has to fight with bubbles and sparkles..because it be too awesome of an idea to handle!
I'm really excited and so damn intrigued for that new champion!!
World Ender2 votesYayyyyyyyyy, more 'news' about Aatrox, which is literally just Riot saying "We're really bad at updating Aatrox so let's just tell them we're still working hard every once in a while so the 27 Aatrox players don't send us death threats!"
And I bet when the update schedule gets, uh, updated, Irelia will be put before Aatrox, just like Swain was, even though his was announced way before them and does't even have to get art/story changes! How exciting!
[sg-shisa]
Killaburn17 votesJust be grateful that aatrox will be updated. you don't want to have a failed rushed GU do yo? Lucky for you, aatrox was listed in the update schedule whilst nunu is not...
YuGiHo2 votesCant wait to see unnecessary skill shots and Delayed damage ability's everywhere. this is a good guide to see what champs riot wants to ruin next.
Auurun6 votesCant wait to see unnecessary skill shots and Delayed damage ability's everywhere. this is a good guide to see what champs riot wants to ruin next.
Because braindead, statchecky, impossible to outplay champions are the greatest miracle we've ever seen in this game.
YuGiHo1 votesSo you think leblanc ambushing an adc and before her passive damage even is ready she she dies to a crit isnt " braindead, statchecky, impossible to outplay"?
Penta Penguin6 votesYugioh players wouldn't know what skill is
