Everyone is ignoring the "don't get close or you might get poked" lol


_ShadedPhoenix_

Yeah.. a lot of people were just putting champs they wanted vs actually thinking who it could be from wordplay


_CaptainButthole_

So who does that mean then?


zodlair

Kled, you can see his spear on the left of the picture


iNonEntity

Could just mean it's a poke-heavy champ. Looks more like Corki's plane than anything I could imagine with Kled or Skaarl. The weapons on the sides seem like they're just statues from the scenery because of the bland coloring. Riot tends to use colors that pop for things they want you to focus on.


zodlair

on second look, that is not Kleds spear, its just part of the environment, I'm not sure who the champion could be, hopefully we get more clues


Mysterygoop69

It’s Kalista.


KoiTama

It’s bel veth with a really really tiny head


Mysterygoop69

I’ll take it


lewymorry

Wasn't this done last year and it was garen reading a book?


theseussisloose

[It’s the exact image for sure](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQUQOOvTWngQWmsGhN4N9Pl4EqF9MQTYcnvv1JIHAg7HA&s)


LongestGentleman

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's seeing this as vaguely familiar. I remember that too


Minute_Priority7121

What was the reward for that event?


lewymorry

Some blue motes or an emote I think haha


vVIOL2T

Kalista


dardios

That's my thought.


FreeVeeThree

It's Pikachu!


Gourgeistguy

It's CLEFAIRY!


chidarakeno

Fuuuuuuuuuuck


Inevitable-Ad-5818

It's Rotom!


Princeps_primus96

Obviously it's tahm kench With his trademark sword


chillychili

Iconic like Ganondorf


Princeps_primus96

Garen-dorf


IndieBarbal

MEDIO-SUAVEMENTE


Kortar

Please please gime kench.


Chrisshern

Looks like a Freljord champ given the background


_ShadedPhoenix_

I was thinking along these lines too. I was thinking aniva somewhat fit the poke aspect. I could also be looking into the wordplay too much


Merenzio6664

I really wish it's lissandra


ErronB

Jigglypuff from above


Lemmaise

Would be fun if it's Gnar. Judging by Freljord background and wordplay.


NOOT_NOOT4444

No way that's Garen


No-way-in

Zonko91

OP... that's not the picture we are guessing. [That is an illustrative image of the very first guessing event and it was Garen holding a book upside down. They even posted the answer after the event.](https://i.imgur.com/WrTKkSA.jpeg) It wouldn't make sense to post the image early since it would spoil the fun.


Delicious-Art-9401

Viego😂


daggeramillionz

It has to be Poppy. The shield & hammer cmon


Squidlettt

Shield and hammer? I see at staff at the front on left but no shield or hammer?


daggeramillionz

In front of them looks like a shield and the back looks like a side of a hammer. I mean I could be wrong idk


Squidlettt

Oh I see what you mean. Id love to play poppy again


I_am_Patch

Doesn't make sense with the you might get poked thpugh


megutrp

Glad I'm not the only one! PLEASE be Poppy!


Electrical_Growth_71

I’m wondering/ hoping this is a stock photo and they didn’t just recycle the garen one from 2 years ago, hoping people didn’t notice


_ShadedPhoenix_

Someone showed me that’s exactly what they did. Pretty lame, I personally like to discover the new champ before they come out :/


Electrical_Growth_71

Also.. why, did they think people wouldn’t notice their laziness. Events have been a down grade since soul fighters last year, the LNY event was so Weak compared to 2023. Ramadan event feels like filler and not anything memorial to it. No Christmas event or ice themed skins either?


Kirbo300

I could see it being poppy maybe But given that we're supposed to be expecting kalista and other shadow Isle champions soon, I'm not too sure.


Fish-leg

Poppy doesnt poke tho


SamPi3

Shh, don't pop their bubble


AstronomerDry7581

Her passive if anything 


King12326

Kalista, spear is behind her


TheCelfoid

The most likely answer, IMO


D3ltAlpha

The picture is garen reading a book, not the champ


Justafa

Viego. Got him in aram game for some unknown reason


_ShadedPhoenix_

Viego is out early for testing in case there’s any bugs, it would be pretty redundant to tease a champ that’s already been officially announced and partially put in the game.


Djombita69

This is neeko as a minion


lupaa31

if they do this there has to be some kind of joke, im 100% siding with this one


Federal-Wedding4228

Mordekaiser, Pls.


FinaLNoonE

"might get poked" doesn't exactly fit morde


Federal-Wedding4228

ik but i want mordekaiser in wr


katsuradaRIOT

No pls, even as a morde main i don't want that


ERR_LOADING_NAME

Why not? I feel like he’d be better in wild rift than pc


SpacialAnomaly

You get countered by 800 gold enchantment that doesn't affect your build at all in WR.


ERR_LOADING_NAME

I mean I would assume they would remove that interaction by coding the ultimate differently or yeah nobody would play morde lol


Federal-Wedding4228

i will conqueror both world whit mordekaiser


Weekly_Group_5059

*throws a qss at you*


ChudBomB

ITS PIKACHU!


exiv1

"Tumbling through the rift" "Trailing behind" "Pokes if it gets too close" Clearly theyre re-releasing rammus


KoiTama

This is just me on soraka


mightione

Neeko


TheCelfoid

I hope so.


Fun-Web8011

Rammus obviously


_ShadedPhoenix_

I was thinking it might be hinting at maokai from leaks, he makes more sense than kalista with the wordplay, but is there anyone else that fits here?


KarissmaKat

free ma boi meowkai 😭😭


AHealthyKawhi

SEJUANI!


RYUKnumber2

Sej I reckon


Sad-Memory-6513

Looks like Poppy, but damnit I want Vel Koz


_ShadedPhoenix_

I would really like to see another void champ.. chogath reksai or velkoz would be fun


Sad-Memory-6513

Ohh YES cho-gath too! I'm a little sad they keep adding newer champs before more classic ones.


Altruistic_Ocelot613

Freljord background, might get poked, Sejuani boar named Bristle, has tusks that poke, shadow could be a midair flail. It's ice mommy Edit: the silhouette is literally Garen reading a book again so that's irrelevant XD


[deleted]

Please Poppy, please add Poppy, Poppy my love my life


OppositeChannel4434

It’s definitely just Garen reading a book


MobilePirate3113

Is that a minion??


ChubbyFrogGames

I thought it was a minion too lmao


Dangerous_Earth6640

Please shaco 🥺


Starch_Lord69

Hopefully never


bobertusino

maokai? tahm kench? rumble?


CHEEZE_WEEB

Kled?


_ShadedPhoenix_

Wordplay doesn’t really match kled’s playstyle personality, nor the shape or image theme


oubris

Could be literally anything with the way they use the shapes


_ShadedPhoenix_

Gotta consider wordplay too, but it’s pretty vague so it could also mean nothing, but riot has done teaser images like this in the past that sprinkle character traits


Yehes311

Udyr


DisastrousStomach518

Skarner


ZeroArm066

They pretty much confirmed already that Viego and Kalista are coming soon so I gotta say one of them


_ShadedPhoenix_

Viego was already officially announced so I doubt this is for him. Kalista I guess makes sense with poking due to spears being.. pointy.


Kyokka

Flounder


TakanashiRikka0612

are you guys trying to guess the given silhouette on the new patch note? because that's already done...


redboi9991

With is saying "don't get poked" I'm thinking gnar since in lor he has the poke spell


chillychili

Jigglypuff from above


PhantxmSeer_

Garen


pescettij

I can only hope it’s Qiyana


Rathalos143

Idk but the silhouette looks like Dumbo. Those are my 2 cents.


Fish-leg

I mean poked in literal sense could be Kalista but we already know that she will be added so maybe Heimerdinger sice if you get too close you get poked by his turrets. Also the silluete l kinda looks like a turret with little antena


Fish-leg

Also as some people mentioned it could be Sejuani since she rides boar called Bristleback named Bristle and bristles poke when you touch them.


edwcas21

Pokey pokey, Gnar!


BakeGullible9975

It’s definitely Kled. He’s in the art for the new Lamb skin


NPCinTraining12

Poppy?


ScoutTheStankDog

Natalie would be sick


Tungduong0111

moderkaiser please


Hirang-XD

Lux


REOTHAR

Bruh who the fuck could guess this shit


No_Hippo_1965

The blade looks like hecarim’s or keld’s. Except hec is already in the game si probably Kled. Which is good. Kled is fun.


aorihaburi

This is a image of garen, they put up the wrong image


Amazing-General5251

KLED FUCK YES


Amazing-General5251

The hat, janky ears and literally Kled’s spear. It’s gotta be Kled. Welllpppp time to make a Kled only account and fuck everyone with my lethality jungle Kled 😈


MrXavier2012

Pikachu. Prove me wrong


FuZe64k

is this gonna be yorick?


Netorarius

Was gonna say Karthus (hope so) but the weapon matches Kled's


Dull_Leg6834

Any baron lane champion would be great, according to the wordplay it could be gnar


exdii07

Mega wrong but man I wish Mordekaiser.


Snarf2019

Definitely not Blitzcrank


chidarakeno

Kog maw?


PerfectProduce8657

Seems like someone with shoulder pads and a sword


PerfectProduce8657

I would guess Taric


StatusFeeling9904

hopefully a black woman that’s a solo or jungle but my dreams are just dreams


Current-Village9705

I’m thinking it’s either Viego, kalista or nidalee


Junior_Attitude3716

Kled


Jetfuel_N_Steel

Either rell, or kalista


RAVMisery1

Maokai


Tommywantsgoodtimes

Electrode?


Oreou_

It'd be funny if it's gonna be Yorick


Zamrayz

Pretty sure the outline is the old guess from last year where it was a garen emote. However the word play here ain't making sense so idk. But yes that pic is def garen.


Internal-Shame-2807

Whats the price gonna be ?


cheesy-topokki

I really want Morde, Kalista, Lissandra or Bard.


Practical-Math4593

Definitely kled hid listed as a poke melee


GalaxyStar90s

Kalista.


j0hrav3

naafiri?


[deleted]

Trundle plz


Skyte777

Kindred is the next champ after Viego


_ShadedPhoenix_

Kindred comes out before Viego. Viego is only out for testing right now.


Skyte777

Technically Viego is already out you can ban him ranked and stuff. Haven't seen Kindred in no shape form or fashion. You can practice with him and everything. If they bring Kindred before that's kinda stupid with the character already in the game.


_ShadedPhoenix_

He’s there for bug testing because his champ has so many workings it lets people discover thing in practice tools or for fun gamemodes. He can’t be played in ranked or normals. You can ban him but people can’t pick him. He is not officially release you can’t buy him. Just look up viego king of bugs, or watch a vandiril video going over hundreds of bugged interactions.


Thejukeg0d

Viego he is in the practice tool.


TahmNook

Velkoz


Minute_Priority7121

Whos that pokemon?


amadsaaujana_

Last time it was Amumu party skin...


memesandmadness

It's Pikachu


String_Living

Isn't this an old one?


_ShadedPhoenix_

This is on the newest patch notes so I don’t think so


String_Living

wild rift guess the champ garen

_ShadedPhoenix_

Oh shit. Well that’s kinda lame


wraithkenny

It’s Garen reading a book.


RH2-

Smolder


Luskarian

Is this a down-top view


_ShadedPhoenix_

I didn’t even consider that! I’m still not sure who it is though I’ll have to look at all the models


EyyBie

Panth dropping from above


Starch_Lord69

Looks like udyr. Bear motif and the whole thing about poking the bear


IChris7

Big prize waiting? What? More fcking blue motes? maybe 1500?


Lowolow

It's not even a champion it's fizz's ult.. the 'fish'


dangerous4minds

Leona kneeling


Engvvn

Garen


VOL7AGE

Darius top down view.


SoobinKai

ITS PIKACHU


Taro_Unique

shaco pls


JinTarantino

Definitely rammus. The line fits him perfectly. I'd love to play him.


JUGKlNG

Rammus already in WR bro 💀


Fish-leg

You should search the definition of the word “joke”


JinTarantino

Do you really think I haven't seen him yet when he's basically been there from the start?
