Jinx just seems to make the whole mood more FUN and mischievous rather than being 100% badass or something. It is a bit frustrating shes getting a lot of the spotlight, but in the end I feel like having her in this skin line was 100% necessary to set the correct theme.
Valaran Nara30 votesJinx is the only human female who is fun loving and mischevious. As many skins as she has, the problem is how unique her personality is compared to all other humans.
It shines to the point that she is always the best pick for fun loving antics. Yasuo could have been reolaced by Graves and it would remain the same. Remove Jinx and there would only be one possible replacement.
Nunu and Willum0 but the balance of the team would get skewed due to Willum0 taking Mal's place.

I'm sure Graves will show up later down the line, probably alongside TF.
I think Ziggs is an odd choice, though. Especially since his skin looks really odd.

I mean, after burning tides, it's basically canon. lol
They really should just give them skins together from here on out. Partners in crime gotta stick together, right?
Chembaron Yamada8 votesBurning Tides just gave me the feeling of a bromance and not more. Just best buddies sticking together.
Fasmodey6 votesBurning Tides was pretty gay and is the only reason why I started shipping them. Before that I didn't give a single damn. It is just the small details I can see better than a straight person and I am definitely not a shipper. Graves x TF is the only ship I have in my vast fantasy ocean.
It is far more possible than Cait x Vi at least. They are hinting Graves x TF with snow day Graves splash and Cutthroat&Cutpurse skin bios too.

Different strokes for different folks.
At least in my circles, everyone assumes they're gay because they felt some kind of gay subtext there. lol
Leetri1 votesFrom what I've read the skin came about because his kit fit really, really well as an enemy in the new PvE mode. They were gonna make this skin anyway, so why not release it to players and earn some extra money?

I just think it looks bad, and doesn't fit the aesthetic very well.
That's just my opinion, but that's how I feel about it. lol

Jinx is the only human female who is fun loving and mischievous.
In terms of humans there still are Vi and Annie, for the rest I'd say Evelynn, Tristana, Lulu and Zoe fit the bill of being both fun loving and mischievous at times.
(doesn't mean that Jinx doesn't have her own brand of crazy insanity though which makes things a lot more light hearted while keeping in tone of the overall theme of the skinline)

GrReaper964 votes
Elipo3 votesZoe is way too hated and young for this to work w her. And Tristana would be a washed out version of Jinx.
OtterlyLost3 votesNo, not really. She would be more of a chaotic good character while Jinx is clearly more of chaotic neutral. They are similar in that they like demolition and blowing stuff up but Tristana is clearly functioning under some subset of rules or a sense of morality; she is sane and not prone to be malicious. Which, in it's own right, does exclude her from this role. These are space pirates, I'd assume. If they were part of an intergalactic navy or some such, Tristana would be far better.
They also honestly refuse to give Tristana more lore than just a single paragraph which sucks.
Tormentula2 votesEh idk if I agree with zoe being "chaotic good"
If anything Zoe is chaotic evil if we're judging by her lore. She's actually pretty up there in ranks with 
on shit she does to people for amusement, I think eve wins just because "slow torture for sake of pain" sounds a lot scarier.
Jinx is hard to judge cause we don't know for sure if its just a medical condition that she's a bit murderous, if she really likes killing people or if she just likes blowing things up with people as a by product, or if there's a specific reason she does it due to her unknowing past (warwick suggests he seen the fear in her eyes before, maybe piltover did something traumatizing in zaun and she just likes pissing them off out of revenge more then anything?)

SugeMinPikk9 votesShe's one of the major cash cows. The others being 
You see fewer of these champions without skins than with them. Queue up with one. They're guaranteed to use a different skin every game (or the ultimate skin, which is the result of a champion being a cash cow)
Chembaron Yamada42 votesUdyr??????? Dude, Udyr might be alot, but he is definitely not a cash cow.
SugeMinPikk4 votesPlay rate is only one factor. I'd say the rate of skin purchase is the main determining factor for whether or not champions get new skins. But that number isn't publicly available, so we can only speculate based on personal experience.
Have you seen a single person who calls themselves "Udyr main" and hasn't bought SGU? In fact, the only Udyrs I have ever been matched with pre-30 have been Udyr mains who got banned and immediately bought SGU on a new account
Until a cash cow gets an ultimate skin, they will continue getting at least one skin per year.
Chembaron Yamada6 votesI still wouldn't consider him a cash cow. These other champs you mention still get many skins over the years, even if they already have ultimate skins.
When did we get a new Udyr skin the last time? looking in the interwebz 2015 definitely not Udyr.
He is just not on the same level to be considered a cash cow.
Cubical1 votesUdyr??????? Dude, Udyr might be alot, but he definitely is not a cash cow.
not anymore

BoringLittleF7 votesJinx's personality is pretty generic right now because "LOL SO RANDOM LET'S SHOOT SOME SHIT" characters are everywhere, which can get quite exhausting (coughAgentsofMayhemcough), especially when they are forced down audience throats.
Also, they have been casting away her dark side lately (she literally killed people in the explosions and had fun while doing it) to a goofy random girl who is all about fun and fireworks.
Chembaron Yamada1 votesAs far as I know, Jinx was never shown killing someone for fun on purpose. Even in her music video on release, she didn't kill people, we just saw her destroying robots.
So this is still in character, it might be that you interpret her back then as bloodthirsty and killing for the luls, but this side was actually never shown anywhere, you just imagined her like that.

She talks about killing non-stop:
I'll be right back! No one die screaming without me! Any last words? Ha! No, just die. No need to be scared - or alive. You're my favorite waste of bullets
Also, there is no way people were not killed by the bombs she detonated throughout the entire city in her new biography. Those weren't confetti. It's just a way to make her likeable, much like DC's "Harley Quinn used to kill, torture and maim people, but it's OK because she is so cute and kinda sorry about it!".
CithriaC1 votesThe example I remember given a few years ago was that Jinx won't just shoot someone with a missile launcher to kill them, but if they are standing on a pile of fireworks, that is when she doesn't care if they are standing on the pile or not.

See, that's what I meant because you cannot call it something other than dark side of a character. Also, in her comic she wants to explode Piltover law enforcement department with people still inside because it's fun to watch them run around trying to escape (and if they die, anarchy in Piltover would be sweet). She even called people "just tiny buildings made of blood".
Eternal7916 votesI just wish her skin was legendary. Am I the only one who found the trailer that was narrated by and focused heavily on Jinx a little misleading when it comes to who gets the legendary skin? Especially considering they gave it to the champion who had the least screen time (besides Sona).
Stars Shaper3 votesI wish all skins involved in this were legendaries, they could have made a whole new universe by these alone.

That doesn't change the fact that she is the the Main character in the event , even if the Legendary Skin wasn't given to her , besides Kayn is the champion that really needs Legendary skins every time , his design just doesn't let him get enough with Epic skins , as a Kayn player and as someone who buys most of the released skins , I never considered even buying His release skin because it's just bad even thought the splash art was cool.
Chembaron Yamada1 votesKayn should definitely not get legendary skins every time, that would be extremely unfair. His release skin was done well, no reason to not keep giving him epic skins from this point on.
Noor Sakata1 votesKayn should definitely not get legendary skins every time, that would be extremely unfair. His release skin was done well, no reason to not keep giving him epic skins from this point on.
Of course it's unfair , but that's how his design makes him
Chembaron Yamada1 votesThere is absolutely nothing in his design making him unable to receive epic skins.
Noor Sakata1 votesThere is absolutely nothing in his design making him unable to receive epic skins.
He has 3 forms , his original one , Shadow Assassin and Darkin , in his release skin those 3 forms were literally chromas
Chembaron Yamada2 votesIf you are exaggerating to make a point, you shouldn't use the word literally. Look them up in the model viewer, they have all distinctively different models and are definitely not just chromas.

Know what, Vi would definitely work. I feel like it'd be slightly more "grunge" or "diesel". You know? like focus on the mechanics slightly?
But yeah. I think of all other choices, Vi probably would have been the only one that'd work. She wouldn't be stupid fun, but I can see her slapping the top of a nuke. "This thing right here can ionize an entire space flee--"

Yeah. Jinx just makes it a "pop" misfit thing. Regardless of that. While I'm not up in arms with the choices, Yasuo is the only one that feels out of place. Like, anybody could have been captain. He was just the favored pick for god knows why. Maybe because Graves would have been too much Machismo?
But yeah. Graves Captain, Vi Mechanic(pilot)
Malphite would still be alien. Though, that means everyone on board has the "gruff beat'em down" exterior
DemainaNyx1 votesI personally think they chose Yasuo simply for the Malphite Yasuo combo and that's it, but I could be wrong.
With some of the augments, you can see the synergy. Sona can make her ult cast all around her, Malphite's ult pushes people into an area like a Shyvana ult with his signature knockup at the end, Yasuo can keep ulting on different knocked up targets to keep people CC'd until Malphite's ult is up again, Ziggs can send multiple ults to a target destination, and Jinx can stack up multiple ults and stack up her passive when people use an ult. With all that, you can see how Sona into Malphite into Yasuo (into Malph and Yas repeated) into Ziggs and Jinx makes for a perfect combo for AOE damage with just their ult interactions.
Graves could've worked, but he doesn't offer any utility to his team. Yasuo at least has a knockup and can chain the knockup from Malphite (and Ziggs) and offers a windwall to block important projectiles for your team, where all Graves offers is just more damage and a nearsight and slow, which really doesn't do much considering most of the enemies appear to be casters (Vel'koz) or melee champs (Kha, Skarner, Kayn), and they are bots so they know where you are anyway.
