I had a thought about Jhin's early teasers.

The initial teasers were short animations of and being shot by who we now know is . Seeing them now, it's easy to say that it was teasing his 4-shot mechanic, 1 shot for each champion, but i think it's a little more interesting than that.

Ever since those first teasers, people have been trying to figure out what those 4 champions have in common, and how they could relate to the new champion. ever since the beginning, i thought that their special relation was that they weren't related, that it was riots way of telling us that the new champion would be someone impersonal and cold-blooded, a true killer. My assumptions at the time were far more boring than what riot gave us, however, as i assumed he would be a hitman, not a serial killer. The reveal of his lore revealed that he did have a connection to , but what of the other 3?

Looking at it from a gameplay perspective, when i look at , i see almost a full team. 4 of the 5 team members are accounted for, leaving only 1 left, and doesn't seem like the type to leave survivors. so who is the 5th member of their team? i think it was himself. the only role remaining on this 4-person team is marksman, 's primary role.

I don't think we were intended to look for connections between those 4 champions, I think the message of the initial teasers was to let us know that the upcoming champion would be the kind of person who would kill his own teammates, just to watch them die.
