Hear Me Out About This: A COSMIC Legendary Jhin Skin...

I don't main Akali! on Twitter

UPDATE: I forgot about lore, so I guess it would be Dark Star if anything. But all my ideas/concepts are still the same regardless. My bad!

Okay, so, here’s the thing. I posted it as a little quick Twitter thread but I’ve realized that I’m genuinely into this whole galaxy/cosmic/spacey Jhin idea, and with all the awesome possibilities for particles and animations, it would be a perfect legendary! It doesn’t have to be under the Cosmic line, but y’know, that’s the series that really comes to mind.

Read the whole thread (scroll down or click the link) for my ideas for specific animations (Ult, W, E, auto attacks, recall). I might do some art for it, because wow. There’s so much!

I know they’ve probably already figured out a concept or even started work. But still, it’s a future possibility, right? I mean, what do you guys think?

I love Jhin, and I think this would fit his theme (last tweet in thread).

Maybe no one else thinks this is a good idea and I’m weird. So if you do think it should be a thing, maybe upvote. Or tell me your opinions/ideas in the comments. I’m thinking, what would his death animation look like? _ FULL THREAD FOR ANYONE WHO CAN’T ACCESS THE TWITTER LINK:_

hear me out: for the legendary jhin skin, something galaxy/spacey. his ult particles are literally shooting stars. his traps are little exploding black holes. his w root puts rings around the enemy like saturn. so many cool particle ideas. yw. @riotgames

okay, even more cool animation concepts because i’m obsessed with jhin and i need this: his recall. there are so many options. like, he could drop his mask or gun into a starry void and go in to get it, or take a seat on a crescent moon as he reloads.

the crescent moon one i like especially, it would be such a sick recall. anyways, his auto attacks—he launches shimmering, almost holographic bullets, and his crits are stars (though the ult should be more...ultimate. flashy, if you will).

i’m ranting now, but think about it. this actually kind of fits his theme, unlike dunk master ivern (no offense). i mean, he’s an artist that’s discovered the universe around him—he’s had a revelation and his art is fantastical as ever.

Death animation, in my mind, should be dramatic. Because Jhin. Have him implode in on himself and disappear, leaving only his mask, gun, and cane behind. Something crazy like that.

They can't make a Cosmic Bullet skin for Jhin. He'd have to be Dark Star, especially given the likeliness of his Captive Audience being black holes. Remember, Cosmic are the heroes of the Dark Star universe, and Jhin is evil.

True. I don’t know, admittedly, too much skin lore. Which is why I said it doesn’t have to be Cosmic...but you get the idea. I wouldn’t mind Dark Star, that’s for sure!

Hey most people seem to think Dark Star is the antithesis to Star Guardian so nbd. Cuz, yknow, a couple of girls with glowing fairies can fight against colossi that rip planets in half or hurl galaxies. (and yes, Im aware of the Fantastic Four.) I guess the Cosmic skins are less obviously constellations (read: several stars forming one celestial body - literally.)

They already announced they’re making a legendary Jhin skin. Might as well make a good one while they’re at it. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Suggesting a skin for a Champion is totally allowed. I don't know why people get so offended over champions that have a lot of skins, its like you're not allowed to talk about Jhin skins ever again since he got like three.

because when my favourite gets another trash tier skin i have to listen to ppl bitchin about it being unfair and how she's already got plenty. But when this fuckhead champ gets 4 in 2 years it's fine

Except I'm not complaining or even mentioning any other champions/skins (besides Dunk Master Ivern, but I'm pretty sure even Ivern mains don't like that skin) that don't relate to the "Dark Star" Jhin concept. I'm just pitching an idea that's probably not even gonna go anywhere for my favorite champion, especially because we know he's getting one anyways. I don't see why you have to bring other champions into this conversation in the first place, or call Jhin a fuckhead (not that he minds, considering he's a fictional character).

I completely understand being annoyed with a lack of skins (or, good skins) for your favorite champion. Taliyah is one of my favorites too, released 3 years ago with only a release skin and an SSG skin. Trust me, I would love for her to get a new skin, but I still wanted to pitch my Jhin idea because I love him, too. It's simple as that.

It's expected for Riot to give a legendary skin to a popular champion, because face it, Jhin is popular. There are a lot of undeniable and solid reasons to do this. It's really not that deep.

That's not the point. I believe in an ideal world every champ would have 1 skin for every year they've been around. This is the case for many champs that people instantly complain about when they do get one, because "they have plenty". and pretty much noone will go against that, it happens every time except when jhin got his 4th in 2 years. no champ had the same age to skins ratio as him. the thing that bothers me isn't another jhin skin or asking for it, it's that when someone says he's got enough he gets shut up instantly. if this was ezreal or lux he'd have 30 upvotes.

that combined with the pre stormrazor "jhin is best adc design" circlejerk are the only reason i call him a fuckhead champ. as for dunkmaster ivern, it's really not bad and barely any of the other "fitting concepts" are just as far of a reach as this one.

yeah, be carefull what you wish for is all i can say here. i remember when my favourite champ got her legendary wasted.

I mean, I think its dumb when people complain about any Champion "getting too many skins". Jhin, Ahri, Ezreal, Lux, whoever. I really didn't say that was ok either. Neither did OP.

Hello welcome to Concepts & Creations, where people post things like...

  • Skin concepts/ideas they made for fun.
  • Champion concepts that they made for fun.
  • Fan art.
  • Fan creations like cosplay.

Almost nothing posted here gets into the game, and if it does, it had massive amounts of support(Dragon Trainer Heim, Pizza Delivery Sivir). Most of what is posted here is made for fun and the people that make those things don't really expect them to go anywhere.

That being said, Jhin's legendary skin is probably already in development/done, so this wouldn't be made right now anyway, since it would be too late. Skins take months to make, after all.

So, yeah, I’m totally aware of that issue. But like you said, it’s all hypothetical, and for fun. [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

Yep.

I honestly don't get why people just jump on skin concepts like they're just going to pop up in the game instantly. They take time to make, and Riot probably already has plans, so. Its just frustrating because people who make skin concepts for popular champions get flooded with comments like "no more X skins" or "how about you make a skin for X instead". But then, when someone does make a skin concept for an unpopular champion, it gets ignored, downvoted, or comments like "this doesn't fit X" or "why would Riot do this when they can make skins for X".

Yeah please, stop giving the developer of this game money. They don't have anything like servers to upkeep, or staff to pay. Let's all agree to starve Riot of any cash influx so they'll be forced to shut down the game :) Great idea, DrippyBrownHole.

I will say though, the idea of Jhin having more than 4 skins irritates my autism. ITS HIS SPECIAL NUMBER. High Noon Classic Jhin, Blood Moon, PROJECT, and SKT. Though I suppose his Legendary will be his FOURth skin thats non-eSports. (High Noon Jhin was his original concept, Cyborg Cowboy, so I'm counting his base as his regular skin.)

But doesn't jhin have 4 skins rn? What is this heresy?

SilverStorm531 votes

O eme ge, for real? Yeah it's annoying when a champ gets tons of skins while another one doesn't, but THEY ARE A COMPANY, if a certain champ isn't as popular, it's going to get less skins, BECAUSE THEY ARE A BUSINESS WHO HAVE PAID WORKING EMPLOYEES AND WHATNOT. Also, the skins they come up with and put out? Not everyone is going to like, period. But if majority do like it, it will happen and remain, period. For instance, I think the new Ivern concept is really good, I just personally hate it, but I know not everyone hates it, so I get over it and move on.

Stop hating so hard on skin concepts people are thinking of and instead politely up/down vote it and give your reasoning, not run them into the ground with your hate, alright? Alright.
