Sorry if I didn't get to your question - I'm sure the mechanics preview and such will answer your remaining questions. XD
Still waiting on that.


Still, I (probably many others) appreciate this pre-release briefing on the new champion. Seems interesting enough.

Hoping this'll break my "Singed is the only Tank I give two hoots about" mindset I've got.

Re-read everything Xyph has said so far about his physical appearance.

Yep. Another void Champion.
I'm thinking this. Not human, not creature. Def wouldn't release two yordles in a row.

This seems to be the case, seems like we finally have a Lovecraft-inspired tentacle champ. It seems to me that this may be the infamous "Kog'maw's Daddy" that was said to be in development many months ago.

Clues: Large, Aquatic,"lost", "ancient", all of those are characteristics of the Old Ones. Additionally, he is code-named Nautilus, which was a tentacled armored creature of the Precambrian era. Picture attached.

Q- Anchor Grapple
W- Water Shield
E- Ring of Tentacles from the ground keeping targets in
R- Water Torrent

He might be slow. He might have a hookshot to compensate.

Maybe.
Levitiah and Pudge had a son?

Yeah, Maokai is not viable at all. Neither is Singed. Or Amumu. Or Cho'Gath for that matter.

He was a sailor at one point - But I'm not sure he's a pirate per se.

Xypherous once again blowing the community away with how much info he gives away but still keeps the new champ a secret.

The hookshot is going to be the anchor that he will wield, not a tentacle.
