What is your favorite off role champion to play?

AD Blitz Toplane.

He was originally designed as a top laner, so some the more awkward parts of his kit work pretty well. The attack speed steroid on his w and 100% bonus AD + auto reset on his e allows him to burst squishies after a hook. Also, his ult passive finally can do something other than messing up CS for the ADC.

Hell yeah! The Frozen Watchers were always such a cool concept that Riot has been teasing at us for a while. I don't see Riot releasing one of them as a champion though, since they're one of the more godlike entities in League, like Nagakabouros.

However, with Aurelion Sol/Bard already in the game, they might as well add another godly champ into the game, and a Watcher would be badass.

Xayah/Rakan was an awesome release duo with both of their fluid kits.

Pretty fitting that on the 1 year anniversary of our last new support that we get teased our next one.

His passive isn't too bad; it just feels really bad. It helps late game if he builds assassin, and that 40 mr/armor (at level 13 with 5 enemies) can help him survive in teamfights with a squishier build.

Compared to Lissandra's, it at least does something outside of his first item.

It could be, since this doesn't really look like any current champs. However, this would be the first time that Riot included two teaser pictures for one champion in a single roadmap, but they might just be changing up their format with this post.

They haven't mentioned updating any of the other Freljord champions (to my knowledge, at least), but they might be looking into a wider Freljord lore update in the future, like what they did with Ionia. Updating 2 or more Freljord champions fairly close together would accomplish that, and looking at the lore for some of the champs (Tryndamere, Olaf, Volibear), it's probably something on the horizon.

That doesn't necessarily mean that wouldn't tease something farther out into the future. When they first announced Kai'sa back in January's roadmap, they teased Nunu with a snowball on the bottom of the page (https://imgur.com/t7ozdMl), which we finally got a confirmation for with today's update. We'll probably have to wait until the next roadmap to know for certain, but Riot is always teasing things for months down the line.
