When I saw the release video for the other skins, it was against the headhunters. But then I hear they're both different stories from the skin source, and not the same universe.
So what's the story of the Omega Squad and are the Headhunters involved?
Thats the lore for the Omega Squad:
Omega Squad: When the war came, Omega Squad was sent to end it. Now only one of them remains, a yordle with no battles left to fight but his own...
Omega Squad Teemo: Teemo once lived by a code. He’s long since forgotten what it was, or even what started the fighting, but he does remember two things: nobody’s innocent, and always settle your scores.
Omega Squad Fizz: Omega Squad’s saboteur, Fizz is skilled in underwater combat. It is unclear what kind of action he saw before joining up, however, as he only ever refers to the sea as “a bucket of chum.”
Omega Squad Tristana: Commander of the Omega Squad, Tristana, has made it her policy never to retreat unless she's returning fire the entire way home. She calls it “advancing backwards.”
Omega Squad Twitch: Squad medic-and deranged lunatic-Twitch has been deeply and irreversibly affected by war. It’s been a long time since he was a competent medical professional, as he no longer abides by the adage “do no harm.”
Omega Squad Veigar: A heavy artillery specialist with a serious chip on his shoulders, Veigar has a troubling habit of calling down huge amounts of explosive ordnance for even the most mundane problems. He thinks of it as “a fun quirk.”
Meanwhile thats the lore for Headhunters:
Headhunters: For some species, the hunt is more than mere sport—it possesses their minds and bodies, molding them into a race of perfect killing machines.
Headhunter Rengar: Some hunters choose to scale impossible heights, cutting down creatures many times their own size for the sheer rush of the kill. Rengar is clad in the bones of these creatures, a worrying sign to his more human quarry.
Headhunter Master Yi: Hunters use many tools: the bowgun, the rifle, the knife, the mind. Master Yi's tool of choice is a five foot long serrated blade forged from meteoric alloy.
Headhunter Caitlyn: Caitlyn's arsenal of alien weaponry isn't meant to level the playing field. It's to ensure that every hunt, every target, and every shot she takes goes exactly the way she wants it to.
Headhunter Nidalee: It's one thing to be hunted by a human; it's another to be chased down by an animal. Nidalee's alien biology allows her both—a rare gift among the Headhunters.
Headhunter Akali: Her weapons flaring with alien energy, Akali hunts only the worthy in a dangerous game of life and death. Striking from anywhere at any moment, no living thing can escape her trophy wall.
I believe they are not related and they only appeared in the Omega Squad trailer because Riot didnt create a skin line to rivalize the Omega Squad. Yet.
