PROJECT Skin line question: Who built them?

Which faction or individuals designed the Project skin line? How exactly do they fit into the lore of LoL? We know the Battlecast are from an alternate dimension where the Glorious Evolution won, and the Mecha are Yordle war-machines, but what about PROJECT? It is unlikely that it is a Heimerdinger, Ziggs, or Rumble, as they already have the Mecha skin line. And Viktor of course has the battlecast. So who could it be?

My guess is Jayce for two reason: 1: He is the only one of the great inventor to not have his own skin line. The Yordles worked together on the Mecha, and Viktor has the Battlecast. But even though Jayce is every bit as brilliant as the others, he hasn't launched a line of skins.

2: Jayce cares far more about appearance than the other inventors. Heim is obsessed with innovation, Viktor is all about raw capabilities, Ziggs just wants things to go boom, but Jayce puts on a show. He doesn't just want to be a hero, he wants to look like a hero. It is believable that if he were to design a cybernetic soldier, he would make it look better than the others, simply because that is very important to him.

So who do you think designed them? Comment below, and don't forget to vote!

EDIT: So they released more information about PROJECT Yi, including his VO. He certainly does not sound like something Jayce would build..... This just raises more questions.

They were created by Professor Stanwick Pididly, and were released as foreshadowing for his upcoming champion release.

I can dream.

Hello everyone! Something that was never our intention is to create the expectation that it will launch a new champion in PROJECT .PROJECT is a line of skins that is part of an alternative futuristic universe. It has nothing to do with the main story Lore or League of Legends. That said, I can confirm without a doubt that is the image is NOT a new champion :) I hope I having guided toward the light and, above all, protect a disappointment the day of announcement.

Just cause its an alternate universe, doesnt mean there cant be any lore behind the skins. So its not a main universe skin line, so what, we have a multiverse of options for that.

I thought PROJECT skins were just futuristic, memorized versions of current champions. Why do they need to be designed by someone?

To me, it seems like the PROJECT skin line has some relation to Viktor, because in every universe his work involves cybernetic augmentation; he is the vanguard of biological augmentation. Perhaps in the PROJECT universe he is just a scientist with no greater aspirations, designing the components of PROJECT suits. Or they have absolutely no relation to him, but were designed by someone with similar ideas.

The PROJECT skin line is rather mysterious at the moment, since little information has been explicitly given. We might learn more during their release, as it seems to be pretty big (minions get in on the PROJECT fun too!).

To me, they appear to be renegades, or at the very least PROJECT Yi is, since his trace was lost, implying he has escaped or is evading his creators.

I thought it'd be really cool if they were from the same universe as the Battlecast skins, but were designed to fight against the Battlecast creations

There's no lore behind it. There was a Rioter post for another region that was clearing up confusion and assuring us there was no champion teaser, but also mentioned it's not part of the main lore.

Though I suppose they could just make something up.
