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
Holy hell yes, Irelia is next.
I hope her stun gets thrown in the furnace.
I 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.
GET HYPE
LADS MY HEART
NOXUS HYPE METER: 
NOXUS HYPE METER JUST BROKE
I'll be honest, I got a bit of a flutter seeing that Swain picture. THAT was the style I was looking for :P
If 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
I get she is stat checky. My money was on NuNu poor bastard
That Swain illustration... salivating intensifies
Also sparkles!
Plz, no. I enjoy my midlane dark and devious.
"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.
I'm guessing the new champs gonna bend faerie related like lulu. I see sparkles and butterflies
The 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!!
Yayyyyyyyyy, 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!

Cant 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.
