Champion Roadmap: July 2017 - Nexus - League of Legends

As I was searching through the new Champ Roadmap for July, the new champion teaser hyped me up very, very much. The picture along with the post drove me insane as a concept of Frejordian hunter came across me. Why else would they include a powder horn? My theory is that whatever this new champ is, it'll be a frejordian hunter, which also raises the question, do gunpowder rifles exist in Runeterra? Seeming that Tacos exist in this universe surely slightly advanced firearms could exist as well. Post your thoughts! [slayer-jinx-wink]

Gunpowder do exist. Look at MF or Graves.

But the new champion's gonna be a blacksmith : https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/xuGbZzpf-next-champion-is-a-blacksmith-i-called-it-first-p

i know he is going to be a freljordian, he is going to be a male champ, and he has / or got a horn as a symbol.

Maybe he is really a hunter. Would like to see a nordsman with a crossbow and battleaxe and he can switch like jinx between those two. :^)

When I saw the horn, I thought of the Guardian's Horn item, exclusive to the Howling Fjord map. The new champion also hails from the Freljord. Being a tanky vanguard it also ties up with the defensive nature of the Guardian's Horn item. Just a little intriguing thing I noticed. Maybe the champ will be related to Watcher lore, at a long shot.

It's Gregor's war horn. You can see it frozen to his corpse on the Howling Abyss.

Either he thawed out, someone took it, or the Watchers got to him before he could blow it.
