Okay so I’ve had this idea about what the new hero skin and new hero are gonna be for awhile, I just wanted to share and see what others think but also explain why I believe my theory.

New Hero Skin: Guan Yu hero skin for Jiang Jun

Okay so this stems from the fact that Guan Yu is one of the most well known people from Chinese culture and if it weren’t for Sun Wukong he’d be the most well known. Guan Yu was a real person who lived from 160-220 A.D. he was a military general who was so admired and skilled that he got a statue and shrine dedicated to him in his honor. (seriously look it up it’s a pretty impressive landmark) Guan Yu eventually became a legend and got so much worship and admiration that eventually he was officially recognized as a god, it was believed that the spirit of Guan Yu remained at his shrine and would help those in need if their cause was just and he would protect his people against evil. (Key word, Evil)

New Outlander: Mongolian Hero

I’m gonna be honest once I saw that there was gonna be a Wu Lin skin and an Outlander hero I’m pretty sure we all knew it was gonna be a Mongolian, considering the hero skin and new hero are ALWAYS opposing and they’re the most infamous and well known enemies of Ancient China not to mention they already revealed the outlander to be an evil villain. I have NO clue what the hero will use or play like but seeing as we got Sohei this year I’m sure the Mongolian will be more of an agile hero (I’m no expert when it comes to mongol weapons and armor I simply know they were exceptional archers on horseback, if ubi could figure out how to make a bow work in this game I’d be all for it but until then I’m assuming a duel wielder)
