while i like the idea of vel'koz being one of the watchers, there is one rather big problem with it. it doesnt make sense. and thats because of the theme of both lissandra and the watchers, ice. which doesnt fit the theme of the void. like, asides from vel'koz himself, who, according to the leak, does not use ice in any way, shape or form, the 2 humans who were posessed/corrupted by the void, kassadin and malzahar, in other words got powers granted by the voids, both use void abilities. also, both got their powers from Icathia, a ruined city in the eastern part of south runeterra. in other words, somewhere where its hot (in fact, you need to go through the desert apparantly). of course, we cant assume that the void is homogenous, and there is in fact probably differences in between areas of the void, but an ice land within the void seems highly unlikely. and again, while there might be differences, the powers we saw so far are all of the same powertype, the void. in chos case, we dont have much except maybe for his rupture (where do the spikes come from?). in kog maws case, pretty much nothing. in khas case, void assault, he basically uses the powers of the void to hide himself, and that is what it looks like. kassadin and malzahar both obviously use the same kind of power, just in different ways, namely a void power. long story short, the only connection we have are those icons (who actually dont neccessarily need to be watcher-related), while there is a lot going against the theory.
