Ao Shin LOL Champion Limelight by Skipp

As of the month of September 2013, Riot announced a champion that they are trying to come up, given name is Ao Shin. Riot says that Ao Shin is a dragon, the "Dragon Storm" actually, that's what LOL WIKI says, the community has been asking for a dragon champ, so here it is. Ao Shin looks like holding the element of lightning and wind since the early concept preview they revealed shows lightning and tornado surrounding Ao Shin, so I expect its skill will be the sort of lightning and winds stuff. Before Ao there are 2 more champs in line before Ao Shin, so that makes Ao the third and most importantly and must be quoted that Ao Shin is subjected to changes, Ao might be released or might not. And the designer of Ao is someone who hasn't designed yet any champion before.

If  I where to look, Ao Shin looks more a bit like a serpent rather than a dragon, no offense to the designer though, if we talk about drags we usually think of scales and wings, firing it's deathly fire power.

Ao Shin has the scales with the exemption of the fire power, Ao has the lightning, still can cause fire, but I think Ao would look better with wings, like Shyvana's ulti when turning into its dragon form. Or change the tittle name to "Serpent Dragon Storm"?

Ao looks like a grandpa though, that is the element of "Mythicalness", I guess. Legendary!


The movement and skill concepts looks cool, I think the tornado is Ao's ulti. Ao might be an AP-Support champ based on Riots statement about the meaning of Ao Shin, "Ao" is a family name of a mythical dragon, and "Shin" based on what Riot says is "Shin can mean many things, one of which is prosperity. It also means a rising storm."


I think this dubstep mix from youtube by the DragonCam suites in the login screen for Ao.


In the interactive comic, we can see a dragon that somewhat looks lika Ao, it might be Ao or it might be not, the fact that Riot says that Ao descends from the sky in times of difficulty for Ionia, but the dragon in the comic came from below the ground. Ao is said to be a protective friend of Ionia so does Udyr, but in the comic scene we see Udyr punching forward, so it looks like there is some contradictions. Or it might be that Udyr and Ao has some sort of misunderstanding, like Tresh and Lucian.


In this Underworld Skin of Twist, I spotted something that looks like Ao, but kinda looks like Tresh or Nocturne too. Though it is not clear, it might be just a tower, but it might be a champ that will be released soon.
