While i was scheming through the season's resume i fell on jhin's resume little catch phrase. "Only champion who's sad about a pentakill."
It was funny indeed. But that also made me realise something very important..
...HOW IS IT THAT JHIN DOESN'T HAVE A QUADRAKILL VOICE LINE?! [sg-ahri-1] rito pls
Would be cool to add.
I can say why we didn't do it though. The On_EnemyChamp_Kill lines were brand new then and untested by our team. So we weren't entirely sure how/if they would work and more importantly how they would be received by players.
So we didn't want to compound our bug risk and player perception risk further (For example by having the potential- quadra kill line playing over the pentakill line, the standard kill line, and announcer- line- All playing together at the same time 1% of time-- AND we couldn't even be sure players wouldn't prefer the announcer alone vs Jhin's voice!)
Our VO system is a bit byzantine and hacky -esp at that time -- and Jhin was made very, very quickly (about 75% of the time a normal champ takes)-- so there was going to be less bug fix time for him. It was brought up as a cool idea-- but dropped because of the time/risk ≠ the perceived reward.

Genius it should be somthing like "Ahhh 4, never 5 always 4" (laughs) or "Run! while you have the time, (laughs) I don't want you dead. At least not yet"
As a Jhin main, I can confirm that getting a Penta with him is soul-crushing. A voice line would save me the trouble of yelling 'Perfection!' in all chat as well.
Was about to upvote but realise that would put you on 13. I support the idea but the balance must be maintained no matter the cost.
Good luck with riot making that. We will more then likely get more Yi skins and Annie skins. [zombie-nunu-bummed]
Before reading I thought you actually meant a Quadrakill skin line, like the band Pentakill, lol.
