Consider a few things before you shut out any other possibilities.

First, Riot updated Kassadins lore to make his daughter a much more prominent character in his lore. While previously Kassadin's main goal was not his daughter, now it is.

Second, Riot introduced a quote from Swain speaking of rumors regarding, "The girl who came back". This is obviously his daughter who entered the void and came back.

Now this just means Riot wants to build up her character. It doesn't by default mean much more.

##However...

With the road map we are revealed a vital detail that lets us connect these dots.

The new champion has Void/Icathian connections.

So we have Kassadins daughter having some of her character being developed and a new Void related female champion. This confirms it being a possibility (afaik).

Finally the new champion is all about delving into enemy lines and dangerous places. This fits perfectly with someone who ventured into the Void.

This new champion’s best players will go deep into enemy territory and thrive

This further pushes the idea that she adventured deep into the Void and was able to survive and even thrive. And those who would fail will die and be forgotten about, another victim of the Void.

So what do you guys think? There is thematic connection to the bit of her gameplay that we do know, and a lot of other points which would lead to it making a lot of sense.

Same thing I was thinking , why would rito randomly have swain give that specific dialogue in hi vu, I mean he doesn't rly know kassadin..i think its pretty much confirmed now especially with those thematics.

A few other notes: The title of the New Champion's teaser is "Suiting Up a New Marksman," maybe the new champion has some suit similar to Kassadin's that lets them be immune to the void? Or maybe the suit is from the Void? IDK, I've been keeping a close eye on these since Zoe's "Toying with Twilight" teaser.

Along with that, "...we locked onto a marksman that rewards players who aren’t afraid to hunt for the perfect opportunity, no matter where it takes them. This new champion’s best players will go deep into enemy territory and thrive, while the weak players will perish, never to be heard from again."

Notice the term "Locked onto" and how the "enemy territory and thrive" part, sounds like pieces of her kit maybe?

The word "null" is used in the paragraph about the champ in the roadmap

Fairly certin that's a big indicator it's Kassadin's daughter
