Upcoming Champion Leaked in LA Times article?

It looks like a photo, featuring one of Riot Game's artists, for a recent Los Angeles Times article has accidentally leaked an upcoming champion.


The new champion is clearly visible on the second monitor to the left of the artist. This champ appears to be a cyber centaur, part human / part horse, of some sort, that wields a halberd / spear type weapon. 

Unfortunately the article doesn't say anything like "EXCLUSIVE SNEAK PEAK AT HORSEMAN, THE NEXT CHAMPION!" and Riot hasn't announced anything as of yet, so I'll be sure to clue you in on any new details should they arise.

P.S: Personally, this guy totally looks like a sleeker, more attractive version of Pitlord to me... will we see a similar kit?

edit: For those confused, the picture above is obviously from WC3 and is not a shot of the new champion. I simple put up a picture to reenforce my thought of him looking similar to Pit lord, since not everyone may be away of what he looks like.
