Something I Noticed About the New Omega Squad Splash Arts

So the idea behind Omega Squad Teemo is that his squad perished and he had a mental breakdown, making him a killing machine. So why would we have Omega Squad skins for Veigar, Tristana, Twitch, Fizz? Aren't they supposed to be dead? (And why are Twitch and Fizz in a yordle-only squad?) Well, take a close look at the splashes if you haven't noticed something before:

All these splashes have Teemo (pre-mental breakdown) in them. People have probably figured out that the champions in the Omega Squad skinline (excluding Teemo) are already dead. But this little easter egg shines a bit more light on the lore of Omega Squad.

For those having trouble finding Teemo in the splash arts: Fizz: Teemo is riding the shark/dolphin/etc. in a scuba suit on the right of the splash. Twitch: Teemo is swinging on a rope in the top-right of the splash in the background. Tristana: Teemo is cowering under his helmet in the bottom-left of the splash. (Look under the tip of Tristana's cannon) Veigar: Teemo is in the bottom-right of the splash. (Look near the end of Veigar's weapon and the knife nearby)

So from what we can gather, these 4 were originally the omega squad, and then they died, followed by Teemo taking up the mantle after breaking?

They were the Original Omega Squad and Teemo is a newbie in those pictures. Only after they all die somehow does Teemo becomes a merciless killer. In the pictures he is still learning.

These skins are flashbacks of Teemos crew before Teemo became Omega Squad Teemo. Look around the border / edges, there's some shading / fading effects.

Veigar is Yordle Big Boss?

Who said it's a yordle-only squad?

All the splashes are also old photos. Notice the old style fade on them.

Veigars hand... Is that a Metal Gear Reference??? :O

look at the vertical lines on the splashes, like an old picture or a frame from an old movie.. why would all the splashes be separated? usually a skin line has all member in one splash.

these are individual memories of the teemo's friends before they died

OMG.... guys.. another hint that twitch betrayed the Omega squad is to look at the title of the Missions given out for this event. There are 5 missions in total to get the final summoner icon. One mission for each of the omega skin champs. The teemo mission is called "rookie" telling us that this is all in the past when teemo was barely in the group. Twitch's mission is called The "Medic". Is that a hint that he doesn't actually heal but kills his teammates? One more thing. Each of the missions has a quote from the champ. Twitch's quote is "Kill! Kill! Kill them all!"

Did anyone else notice a picture of Alien Invader Heimerdinger? That makes it seem like the Omega Squad was fighting Aliens...

Nami Spooky when long dead threads come back from the grave!

While the art of thread necromancy can be useful in some cases, this unfortunately, is not one of those times. I am putting this poor zombie back gently into that good night.

RIP thread.

They aren't dead. You're telling me you believe in the word of Satan about them being dead?

He probably betrayed them and returned claiming they were all dead to pretend to be heroic, but they all actually survived and are hunting down the traitor.

Classic:

And one of Omega Squad Teemo's quote is Im only one left

wiley367/27/2017, 7:55:31 PM1 votes

And to add to the sadness if you look at the edges of the splash art they're faded photographs like Teemo is looking back on his worn photos of his favorite times with each squad member

OK i have to vent it now while its still fresh on my mind NEW OMEGA SQUAD SKIN LINE LORE i think i cracked it ok so a quote from Teemo says something about twitch being out of place and that Teemo is the only one left if you look closely at each "splash" you notice they all have a film grain/scratches all over it and at the edges you can see that its torn so the splashes are actually old photos notice in every photo Teemo is a recruit and is having a good time with all but Twitch exclude Fizz, Teemo is underwater riding a dolphin i would shit too so these photos are back when Teemo was training to become apart of the squad notice how all the photos are calm and then there is Twitch's notice how his pulled the pin on the grenade now i don't think that someone else would take a photo of that with Teemo looking all worried about something so i think Twitch has taken all the photos (splash arts) and Twitch's photo is like a selfie now back to Teemos quotes The rat is out of place isn't he? Almost like he doesn't belong... that's a quote from Teemo so it would make sense if Twitch was a double agent of some kind and his true mission was to infiltrate and become a squad member to later eradicate them now this is where the other Teemo quote comes in Im the only one left or something along those lines meaning maybe in Twitch's splash, Twitch is taking a photograph of himself about to eradicate the other members of the omega squad well maybe just the ground and sea units as there the only skins we know and Teemo is in the backround witnessing the action made by Twitch therefore making Teemo into the killing machine his known for in the omega squad skin and Teemo preferred going on solo missions maybe Teemo's mission now is to find Twitch and kill him? but who is Twitch working for he opened fire on the headhunter skin line in the omega squad trailer all though that trailer isn't canon due to Teemo not being a squad member whilst all the others were alive so there's another faction PULSEFIRE is one as they can time and interdimension travel but twitch wont be working for them the only other thing i can think of is project now go to Twitch's splash art and notice his arm it has a sort of project sorta glow pattern to it and the professor that made project was from Zaun Twitch is from Zaun so maybe Twitch was a double agent for project?

I dunno just a late night though i had so i wrote it down, and now that i read back on it, it sorta seems legit. Mind the grammar as it's a copy/paste from my discord where i had initially written it down whilst in deep thought.

I think i cracked it. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Anyone want to make a full Omega Squad skin team in remembrance of Teemos fallen comrades? Add me IG

When you look at twitch's splash art for omega squad, he is holding a bomb almost like he is going to blow up thr omega squad members... Except teemo, who is swinging on the vine to stop him. He does not succeed, likely kills twitch, then becomes a ruthless killing machine.

Never let a dirty rat into your squadron.
