New ship into memes/games

Jhin Jinx , both love to kill, both somehow love art. They are both ADC, and were designed by the same designer. what's more their names begin with J and are made with four letters FOUR. They both give names to their weapon.

bonus reason: it's kawai as hell https://66.media.tumblr.com/347c7f8c714acbcd66b5cf67ff2569e5/tumblr_o6j6z6otG01vtskcyo1_500.png

Interesting claims, let's see how they hold up with established lore. Additionally, let's check personalities for compatibility. We don't want a ship to sink because it tears itself apart.

both love to kill

Jinx doesn't love to kill, she loves chaos and havoc. To paraphrase a rioter from a jinx AMA, If someone was standing in an alley, she wouldn't kill him just because. But if he were sitting on a crate of fireworks, she wouldn't think twice about setting them off.

Jhin, however, is an established compulsive killer. His "art" demands it. Not sure if he loves it though, some of his quotes hint that he hates what he has become.

both somehow love art

Not really sure we are ever shown that Jinx loves art, but she might.

Jhin, of course, call his killings art, so we can pass him on this.

They are both ADC, and were designed by the same designer their names begins with J and are four letters long

Straight facts. Only Jhin has the four compulsion, but I imagine dating anyone with a different number of letters would be difficult for him.

They both gave names to their weapon(s)

Almost all weapons (guns especially) in league are named. It adds just that much to a character's personality. Just a fun fact.

Analysis:

Yes, they're both "crazy," but in completely different ways. I feel like Jinx is more akin to a kid who just wants to get out and flout authority and have fun. Her style of fun, however, involves destruction and explosions. She has some sort of split personality or personality projecting disorder, since she applies different personalities to her guns. However, she is arguably fully rational in her decision-making process, although she does not care about the general rules of society, considering them boring.

Jhin is completely unable to alter his behavior, having several compulsions and an exceedingly split personality between the stage worker and the artist. He is more methodical and controlled in setting up his work. His VO includes several lines about wanting to stop, but being unable to, showing that he cannot control his behavior.

Conclusion:

Based on the inherent difference between Jinx's chaotic and Jhin's controlled nature, I do not think these two would pair successfully. There is very little shared ground or interests for them to connect over. They do not find joy in the same things, although Jinx might find some of Jhin's magic bullets to have interesting effects for her own brand of excitement. Imagine how hard it would be for a sniper to appreciate a hyper kid in a candy store and you can see what I'm trying to get at.

I hereby give this ship a 1/5, would definitely sink.

Please note, this is from a character's personality and lore perspective. I completely understand some people do not care if ships make sense, but I feel if you are going to pair up some fictional characters, at least put them in a decent relationship.

People are claiming that this ship would never work, and are explaining with REASONS.

Who needs reasons? Jinx

This is one of two pairings that I actually ship, the other being Tristana and Rumble . I ship Jhin and Jinx because it's so cute!

Actually I have to disagree. While both Jhin and Jinx enjoy killing people, Jhin does it as a form of ART and Jinx does it as a form of ENTERTAINMENT.

Jhin is painting a beautiful picture of water flowing gently under a bridge.

Jinx is slapping as much paint as she can onto the canvas, sometimes with her brush and sometimes with her hands, and once with her tongue, with no order or design intended.

While Jhin's passive is "Whisper" that is no indication that this is the guns name (it isn't quiet at all for one). That is like saying that Talon's real name is Mercy because his passive is called Mercy and has his portrait on it.

Jhin has a special interaction with Jinx where he essentially disses her and..well..kinda puts her in the dirt. Like it's not a playful insult its a genuine put down said in a "I dont care about your existence" tone.

Considering Jhin's personality, I think that it would be fitting for him to be asexual and a-romantic (as in he doesn't have relationships) and is solely dedicated to his work because it is the only thing that made him feel alive.

PLUS Jinx X Vi OR Jinx X Ekko is WAAAAAAAYYYYY more kawai

I'd upvote, but then the upvotes wouldn't be a multiple of 4

One is a genius, the other's insane.

Jhin : Art is my passion! Jinx : ARE EXPLOSIONS AN ART?!?

Blue Moon Wolf6/24/2016, 11:58:07 PM4 votes

I like that idea, though I feel like it would be like the relationship between the Joker and Harley Quinn, except in this case they are both just as likely to throw the other under the bus. It would be an interesting relationship either way, one that would be cool to see for a bit when the lore department goes into Piltover. Something like they get together, they go on a crime spree or two and one of them screws over the other, leaving the other person to narrowly escape capture and wanting revenge.

Sorry mate. Jhin is already in a relationship with the number four.

rtbf2256182416/25/2016, 7:58:51 AM4 votes

Except that Jinx is the complete opposite of art. Jhin even says her guns lack any meaning or artistry.

Chatillon6/25/2016, 1:09:04 PM4 votes

I read on Jhins release thou that he actually doesnt like Jinx, and Shaco i.e. for the same reasons.

Jhin loves art, which to him are the moments before someones death

Jinx loves destroying things for destroyings sake

Shaco loves killing, but jhin doesnt like him because he doesn't restrain himself in any way and just kills

So while i want to upvote, i am unable, but nice try Zeus ;)
