New Champ?

This is in reference to the new champ that everyone is talking about called Jhin. Here, I offer a brief analysis of what I think we can hope to see based on the criteria we have been provided.

Firstly, I think its important to understand the meaning of the type of flowers that are coming out of zed's face. As shown in both the project teaser and zed's profile video, the flowers are white and pink that stem from a sort of wispy tree. I believe that these flowers are most closely related to the Japanese cherry blossom, which, according to Wikipedia, "The transience of the blossoms, the extreme beauty and quick death, has often been associated with mortality." Along with the fact the mask that the mysterious character pictured in the video is wearing most likely resembles a kabuki mask, which was a mask used in both Japanese theater, which symbolizes hiding/ misrepresentation, and to imitate the look of demons in ancient Japanese culture, which could give meaning to this sort of culling we see happening across these league of legends pages. Furthermore, it almost appears as if Garen is being pierced by diamond which is also a symbol for beauty, but also a symbol of Strength and perseverance. Here, we see a major contradiction from the beginning symbol of the cherry blossom to the diamond, as a flower's delicateness starkly contrasts the power of the diamond, but also we understand that diamonds, from carbon, take years to change, but finally do form crystals. Looking though Sona's video, we see that butterflies are coming through the smoke from her mouth. The butterfly is a symbol again, of delicateness but more importantly transformation. Linking us finally to Vi, where she almost look as though she is being depicted as a phoenix, removing her gauntlets and being "reborn," a form of metamorphosis .

Now what does this mean? probably nothing, as its just an analysis from the information, but I think that if we do expect some new champ here, we may expect to see some form of transformation in its abilities, where it turns from a soft champion (i.e. ADC, AP mid) to a strong champion (i.e. Tank, Juggernaut), as seen with the blossoms that the tree itself is very rugged but the flower is week and transitional, the diamond, formed from soft carbon making one of the strongest elements known to man, the butterfly, which is a rugged insect as a Caterpillar and fragile as a butterfly, and finally the phoenix, where it is week as an old bird in mythology but rebirths into a strong fierce creature. I could also see this champ having some death ability, or DIE MOVE, as its come to be known, such as Zyra, Kogma, or Karthus, where something happens upon death, represented in the kabuki mask, the blossoms, and the phoenix. Another aspect of the champions abilities could be a heal as all of these symbols show getting stronger in a sense.

Any Thoughts?

I would also like to point out that some of this source material was inspired by Brofesco's videos so I can't take all the credit. But I think most of it's an original analysis.
