League of Legends Hidden and Unreleased Champions part 2

EAGLE RIDER

There was no info about this guy.

GAVID, THE PLANT KING.

The Plant King (rumored to be named Gavid The Plant King) was cancelled due to not fitting well within League of Legends artistic theme.

On the map for the 2010 Harrowing, a coffin can be seen on the extreme lower right with him in it. This could be the subtle "nail-in-the-coffin" confirming his cancellation.

It is very likely that the Plant King maybe redesign to be  Maokai, who may have been considered more appropriate to League of Legends style.

IRON ENGINEER.

There was no info about this champ, but it looks 

very similar to Blitzcrack.

PRISCILLA, THE SPIDER QUEEN.

Priscilla The Spider Queen is an unreleased champion that was left in the development stage by Riot Games, and her artwork and spell icons are present in the game files.

It was rumored that Spider Queen was reworked into Nidalee, since that was the name used for Spider Queen. Also, in early development Nidalee used poison in all of her attacks and her Prowl caused her to become camouflaged. 

On August 19, a sneak preview of  Urgot was released. While the two share a similar appearance.

ROB BLACKBLADE.

Rob Blackblade was canceled due to not fitting within League of Legends artistic theme. No aspect of the champion was deemed worthy of keeping, so it was scrapped. Rob's place in the development cycle was filled by the champion that became Udyr.

VOODOO SHAMAN.

Tabu, the Voodoo Shaman, (otherwise known as The 48th Slave), was rumored to be a new champion, but is now considered cancelled. Tabu may be based off of the DotA champion, Voljin, The Witch Doctor, and may have been reworked into what is now Swain. 

On the 2010 Harrowing map, a coffin, (on the extreme lower right), can be seen containing him, along with Averdian and the Plant King. This could be interpreted as the "nail-in-the-coffin" confirming his cancellation.
