''(Jin (神) is a bonsai deadwood technique used on branches or the top of the trunk (the "leader").[2] A jin is meant to show age, or show that the tree has had a struggle to survive. Jins are created in nature when wind, lightning, or other adversity kills the leader or a branch further down the tree.[3] A jin requires the complete removal of bark from a given start point to the end of the branch or leader. The remaining wood dies and dries out to form the jin.''

Nice find ? With the exception of Jinn for Arabic folklore creature, the names fits much more the asiatic theme we would expect from Ionia too. The Sprouting from Zed is a small tree who fits Bonsai kind of tree too.

Dead Eye also leads to

''an accurate one, a sharp shooter. the sniper's a dead eye, he got me again

Expert Marksman''

Which means an Ionia AD carry, I would have called it.

Thousands have already called an Ionian ADC.

At this point I'm hoping it isn't.

Well from the new gifs that have been released, it looks like this new champ has beef (or is trying to "help) with humans from all over (except for Noxus?)

I made the calls on Kindred and were right on all of them XD.

I just don't get how they will implemant a tree/nature mechanic unto a marksman without stealing Zyra's theme.

I like the theory, but how do you explain the other 3?

Sona has butterflies Garen has jade stones Vi has ????

Although they all seem to share an Asian motif, they don't all seem to relate to blossom or nature.

Vi's hands were shoot to scrap metal. :) Garen had jade stones, cause his original skin has got "stones" near his shoudlers. Or at least, stone like decor. https://secure.static.tumblr.com/a62376c7ded76d6f3542e81c458f7fd6/yon0ohk/zu5mtyb87/tumblr_static_garen_splash1.jpg but still dunno why Sona had butterflies from her mouth... somekind of Ionian meaning? dunno. But her neck was shot through, that can be seen. :)

Or let me tell something just to confuse everyone ;) "Deadeye" Shot Vi (Piltover), Sona (Demacia/Ionia), Zed (Ionia) and Garen (Demacia). But no one from Noxus.. ;) have a good one thinking about this. ;)
