I think it's quite beautiful.

We're going to Ionia boys and girls!

For those who can't see the page, Zed's champion icon has been changed and is now a new image of Zed, animated with cherry blossom petals flowing in it. When you load to the page initially you see a short video with music playing, and then a picture of Zed with blue energy and flowers coming out of him, as if he's been shot my a magic attack or arrow.

EDIT: Here's the image from the video. Below Kaltenashes posted the animated icon:

EDIT 2: Apparently the video file references similar teasers for Vi, Sona and Garen, along with something called "Dead Eye". I'ma gonna laugh to myself if this is just a skin series, but the optimist in me says "updated lore for Vi, Sona, Garen and Zed!" so I dunno.

EDIT: One final update - Jhin has been found in that video file data. Hm...

Surrender @ 20 just updated and said "the video file references similar teasers for Vi, Garen, Sona + "DeadEye""

I have no idea what this could mean. Is it like Kalista's teaser and the Black Mist marking traitors? What do Zed, Vi, Garen and Sona have in common?

"DeadEYE" "EYE of Twilight" Who wants Zed dead more than anyone? The sakura blossoms don't automatically refer to Zyra, they have a lot of symbolism in Asian culture and mythology; which Ionia is a reference to Also, check his neck, that's no gunshot

Shen rework incoming, and he's pissed

A friend of mine pointed out that flowers are also a sign of rebirth. It could lead to redemption in his character.

Well Ionia doesn't have an ADC to my knowledge, so this confirms it I guess? Ionia event + Shen update + new champ.
