Time Travel possible in Valoran?

Ekko's video showed us some nice stuff. But we all forget the most important thing: Zaun (and probably Piltover) are researching time travel. And they seem to have some success with it.

Maybe this is how they gonna do the Retcon? Old lore = Old timeline, New lore = new timeline and stuff? That would be an actually nice way to cover it up - while also having an excuse for mirror matches in normal mode xD (Old timeline version VS new one ^^)

Also the Urgot rework seems awesome tho xD(I really, really, hope it's an Urgot rework Q_Q We have waited for so long...)

Time-manipulation has been a thing since the release of the game with Zilean. Plus according to Vel'Koz the Urtistani had magic-technology capable of manipulating time. They've said the game isn't linked to the lore anymore, so nothing about Ekko is likely to absolve the retcon.

Also that's almost certainly not Urgot. Just a dude with a giant mechanical gauntlet and a rebreather. A Zaun thug/murderer.

I want to point out something right now, Ekko cannot travel through time. He can only go back to a set time, which is a little different. How do i know, the fact that he kept going back to the time where he started fighting Urgon( and yes I am calling the metal man Urgon now). Why not go a bit before and run. And it appears that it also doesn't involve resetting time, since he kept the injuries. What it is don't ask me, i just know he can't actually travel, yet.

I doubt that its Urgot Rework... mainly because Urgot its supposed to be an "ADC" (or marksman) ... but the guy in the video seems like a melee fighter.

However, about the time travel.... Technically, in the present Valoran is not possible (without counting the short time travel that Ekko does)... but in the Future, it is... After all, Pulsefire Ezreal its supposed to be Ezreal from the future that time traveled to the present (I know that skins are not Cannon, but anyways...).

LoL interesting theory... wouldn't be first time a Video Game Company sunk their franchise of of pre-textual "Time Travel" complexities (looking at you Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor).

Why do people want reworks for champions they don't play? Like some people actually enjoy those champions, and then it gets ruined by people like you that don't play them, yet ask for changes.

Champion reworks are never made to benefit those people that play the champions.

From what we can see in the video, it seems the time travel technology is incredibly limited. Its a start, but I think Zilean is still years (time joke, ohohoho) ahead of it. Limits:

Only works on the user
Does not remove damage or effects done to user
Has a limit to how far back it can go.
Has to be manually activated
