League of Legends

No indication as to what this is. Any ideas folks? new champ? Skin? Secret Kayle rework?

It does look suspiciously like Kayle due to the wings and the glowing barrier.

However, there was a leak recently about a Harpy and Phoenix champion. shrug

Alternatively... Quinn?!

OISApr 2, 20175 votes

Would they give Quinn a new skin after Heartseeker?

Valor BotApr 2, 20173 votes

Probably not. But, one can dream!

I do think it's most likely a new champion though.

KoKobotoApr 3, 20179 votes

If they actually make another duo champion that is so closely related to birds I will have lost faith in Rito to do anything good for Quinns gameplay.

Valor BotApr 3, 20175 votes

Not only that, but just like Q&V, the leak said it was a female marksman with a male bird companion that assists her.

It was a male Phoenix support and a female Marksman harpy.

wow that Urgot rework definitely looks nice!

I think it's another Ryze rework

MelledoneusApr 2, 201711 votes

Ryze's new ult looks nice. Wonder what it does.

Onkel MalteApr 2, 20178 votes

It might be a new champ because I don't think this is a Urgot rework which is scheduled next, and Kayle gets her update together with Morgana in a bigger duo update, so it's quite unlikely.

I could bet this is an Icarus-like Champion, probably Support and Enchanter as the character is surrounded by a shield and we didn't get a bot lane support for quite a while.

Skywrath Mage. He's had enough of being a mana vacuum in Dota 2.

Stars ShaperApr 2, 20172 votes

Prepare for the longest "match start" quote ever.

Fondling GemsApr 2, 20172 votes

Which line is that? I can't find any especially long pick/start quotes on his page. Unless you are referring to his 14 second taunt.

However he doesn't have any entering battle/selection quotes longer than 5 seconds, pretty weak in comparison to Karthus's 10 second pick quote although I don't know if that is the longest pick quote in League (Time wise)

However even Skywraths taunt isn't the longest quote compared to League's longest quote. Kindred comes in with a 27 second long death quote, literally longer than their death timer in the early game.

I think it is the new Harpy champion. My guess is its name is Rix.

Wind234Apr 2, 20173 votes

I, too, have heard about the leaked "harpy and phoenix" champions, and while at first I wanted to be skeptical....that is most definitely a harpy. It's got a slender, almost feminine shape to it, it's wings are bent at just the perfect angle for what you typically see in their portrayal in video games and the head even looks about the same to most incarnations, though this one is likely going to have better facial detail.

However, I see nothing about a phoenix....yet. To be honest, when I saw the leak, I might have taken an unpopular route and presumed it to be two different champions being released at the same time - one a marksman, the other a support and them working best/well together, but capable of functioning as two completely separate champions. It's been awhile since we last had a new champion enter the Rift, so perhaps the reason why is for a dual release?

KhadaverApr 2, 20174 votes

Looks like 2 separate merged silhouettes

ArakadiaApr 2, 20173 votes

If it is a harpy.... than we get star guardian ezreal too because the leak would be true!

Chembaron YamadaApr 2, 20174 votes

If the leak is true, I am more hyped for Urgot having shotgun knees, a rocket hand and a meat grinder belly. That dude is gonna be a living (unliving?) fortress.

AbiwonKenabiApr 2, 20172 votes

Definitely stoked for the Urgot update. Looks like Urgot still, but turned up to 11. Aw yeah

The picture isn't symmetrical, so I believe that one side represents a harpy and the other represents a phoenix

Stars ShaperApr 2, 20173 votes

Phoenix Person!

So the leaks are true? Harpy and Phoenix confirmed?

Appears to be now :D

Stars ShaperApr 3, 20171 votes

If he doesn't talk like Bird Person I'm going ot be so annoyed...

WiegrafOfValorApr 2, 20172 votes

#It's a new champion, the first true duo champion in League. It's a Phoenix ADC and a Bird woman Support.

It has been leaked a week ago on reddit.

Moonboy65Apr 2, 20173 votes

https://askghostcrawler.tumblr.com/post/158753478848/do-you-think-league-will-have-a-champion-that

nope, get rekt [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

WiegrafOfValorApr 2, 20173 votes

It's not a single champion that need 2 players, it's 2 champions for 2 players, each one controls one champion.

Imagine if you could choose to play only as Wolf, or only as Lamb when you selected Kindred , and other player could select the other half you didn't pick.

Moonboy65Apr 2, 20179 votes

don't believe anything you read on reddit

that leak was obviously fake, we would never get a duo champion

WiegrafOfValorApr 2, 20176 votes

You would be surprised how many leaks turn out to be true on reddit. By the way, look at the teaser, you can see it has 2 different types of wings, one for the Phoenix and one for the Harpy.

Moonboy65Apr 2, 20172 votes

how many champions were release on the exact same date? a lot.... back in 2009

Chembaron YamadaApr 2, 20176 votes

Well, they said there will be a longer break between Camille and the next new champion. And I heard they want to tell us the reason why with the next release.

Developing a duo champ is a pretty good reason for them to take more time, isn't it?

Not saying it has to be like that. But it is pretty plausible.

WiegrafOfValorApr 3, 20171 votes

WELL WELL WELL RANDOM HATER Nº 14.. I GUESS YOU OWE ME A APOLOGIES

Moonboy65Apr 3, 20171 votes

your point?

i'm willing to bet that the skins are fake

WiegrafOfValorApr 3, 20171 votes

Riot just release on facebook the 2 champions there are going to be release, it's a couple. A guy on a cape (left) and a harpy (right).

Moonboy65Apr 3, 20171 votes

yeah, but i'm talking about the skins on the leak

Stars ShaperApr 2, 20172 votes

My impressions:

It does look a lot like Quinn (woad scout skin) but the asymmetric pattern is indeed close to the "leaked" post appeared some days ago, the shield looks Kyle-esque and if we want to take a wide reasoning around it the asymmetry might be a reference to Morgana (but that's a bit unrealistic because Riot told us they are not into K&M update yet).

Whatever it is it looks really promising and I'm happy to already have 7k IPs :3

SharjoApr 2, 20173 votes

I'm just excited for the lore that's too come. So hyped!

Stars ShaperApr 2, 20172 votes

Indeed.

From the radiancy of the figure we can expect a Demacian (which I would welcome gladly, maybe one of the Radiant Order) or some Runeterran creature bound to holy elements.

ItsbeghdevApr 2, 20174 votes

We can also expect a Demacian from the lore update and Galio, since we got Camille with Piltover/Zaun and then Warwick afterwards, Taliyah with the Shurima lore update, and Aurelion Sol with the Targon update and then Taric afterwards. It's pretty clear that this isn't the most solid of patterns, but it's still sorta there.

SharjoApr 2, 20172 votes

Hm, not sure where to put it myself.

Actually I do, I just can't tell you. Heh!

Stars ShaperApr 3, 20171 votes

I just read about it, congratz! xD

I guess you'll experience what Reds do when they know but can't tell xD

SharjoApr 4, 20172 votes

IT HURTS. IT HURTS STARS.

SO MANY THINGS I WANT TO SAY BUT CAN'T.

GAH

Stars ShaperApr 4, 20171 votes

Start working on Runeterra Chronicles (ala WoW), it might help xD

NocaNohaApr 2, 20172 votes

Credits to "Lakshmana95" on surrender@20, I just reworked his thinking a bit C:

One silhouette should be smooth and other one pointy C:

Judging by this, I would say Phoenix is top one, female. The skirt on the bottom part, all rounded and soft, probably warmer personality.. hence support.

The bottom one would be Harpy.. some violent guy, that likes to hurt things. His appearance says it clearly "stay away"

Now what would be epic.. is to see Riot switch them. And make the guy look more feminine and girl more masculine C;

http://oi63.tinypic.com/2ezk20o.jpg

Troll for TrumpApr 2, 20176 votes

Well, harpies are traditionally female.

So the bottom one could be a crazy chicken lady and the top one is some regal, azir-esque bird man

Xodiathe4bdn1Apr 2, 20172 votes

Could simply a single champion with two aspects

CamulosApr 2, 20172 votes

I think it's safe to say that it's a new champion. Springing a Kayle Kayle rework on us would be unfair to the people who've waited so long for an Urgot Urgot rework, plus, Riot has already stated that they planned to update the sisters Kayle Kayle and Morgana Morgana together in the future. It's also doubtful that it would be a Quinn Quinn Legendary/Ultimate skin, due to God Fist LeeSin Lee Sin being released next patch.

If it is the Harpy/Pheonix - Marksman Support champ who's concept was leaked... Perhaps the aura is allusion to the champion being from the same background as Kayle Kayle and Morgana Morg? The new champ's release could double as a lore overhaul for those two, if I'm right...

Xodiathe4bdn1Apr 2, 20173 votes

She appear to be atop clouds and the shield surrounding the champion and the bright warm yellow colours remind me of the sun so this could be another shurima champion

macromiteApr 3, 20172 votes

This is very vague. I hope its a harpy though.

zeskgamesApr 2, 20171 votes

If it is a rework for Kayle, I'm gonna be sad. I know its good for the champ and balance or whatever but I'll miss being an independent tower shredding, team shredding, monster shredding angel woman who don't need no man item 3070 Kayle
