Ok, now ill talk in more detail about why Vel'koz being a frozen watcher makes no sense.

Lets compare 2 situations. One, Vel'koz is one of the frozen watchers and the frozen watchers are creatures like him. Two, the frozen watchers are actually very powerful beings of Ice. first, base of operation. situation 1, vel'koz. illogical choice. guarded by powerful beings capable of sensing incoming invasions. bad strategic placement. no advantage. also, the closest faction are quite dangerous, too. piltover and zhaun could both easily lay waste to the freljord.

now, Objective. Covering the world in ice. again, illogical. why would vel'koz want the world to be covered in ice? i mean, he is from the void, invasion and conquering are to be expected. but why the ice part? it has no benefit for him, if anything it hurts him and his fellow voidborn. it essentially kills all the wildlife, which is what the other ones feed on. and it really destroys the point of the invasion.

situation 2, almighty ice beings originating from the howling abyss. base of operation, logical. they come from there, they use ice as a powersource/use ice magic. they dont have a second option in form of a portal somewhere else, and they wouldnt want it either way. also, good resources up there. objective, logical. they are ice beings. if the whole world is covered in ice they can reign over it.

On top of that, greyor literally says that "We tossed them, howling, into the abyss! That must've killed them, nothing could survive that fall", meaning they were literally thrown into the abyss below the bridge, but this also means that they could be thrown. meaning, its unlikely that the watchers were like vel'koz, as he can levitate and throwing him is pointless. that also means he wouldnt be expected to die from the fall. also, of course, the fact that he doesnt react to any of the voirborn or voidusers at all. if he fought vel'koz and the likes of him, he would have seen his powers, and would imideatly recognize them when he sees kassadin at least, with his voidstuff blade. but he doesnt. as if he never saw anything of the like.
