Jinx/Warwick Lore when?

General Jinx·1/28/2019, 11:30:10 PM·32 votes·17,051 views

I have been dying since i started playing this game to figure out what has happened in Jinx and Warwicks past,all Riot does is drop these little hints and give no explanation what so ever and it is absolutely killing me to not have any answers what so ever! i know the whole 'mystery' behind these champs plays a big part in their characters as a whole but the way Riot subtly throws in these hints makes me believe that they are building up something big for the story ... But then they release the Universe Dev video detailing all the plans they have for lore this year and nothing was even mentioned about Jinx or Warwick, now all im asking Riot is that you just confirm that you have not forgotten about their story and all these teasers you put in the taunts are not just for show and that you truly are going to uncover the whole Zaun mystery, hopefully one day...please...Rito...

maybe warwick was in the same gang as jinx and vi when he was human.

If you read all of their lores, something happened and Vi's father sent her away from where he was, however the container she was in is specifically noted to be able to fit two girls. These two girls are most likely Vi and Jinx. Warwick was hunted down by Singed and forcefully experimented on. Then towards the end of his life Singed revealed he had a little girl who knew his name.

Jinx's lore has her described as having a far off stare as if she's witnessed something horrible. It's possible she somehow accidently gave Singed WW's location, which is why it's "all her fault". Alternatively it might be Vi's fault which is why Jinx is mad at her.

And Vi has memory loss.

My personal theory is that Warwick was once a criminal who reformed and settled down, Singed twisted as he is decided to test that by kidnapping and torturing him. Warwick tried to save both of his daughters, Vi and Jinx, by letting them escape down the sump river. But Singed manage to grab Jinx, who was then forced to witness her own father be mutilated and tortured for years. Then when she finally got away, she found out her sister no longer remembered her, which is why shes taunts her so much.

I think they've maybe already given us the answer!!! If you read through the Piltover and Zaun lores, they have a thing called Progress Day (for Piltover) and Rememberance Day (for zaun).

Progress Day was the celebration of the 'Sun gates' opening, which allowed much easier trading from the east of Valoran to the west, making Piltover immensely rich.

This day is called Rememberance Day instead for zaunites, to remember those lost in a MASSIVE EXPLOSION Jinx that created basically a giant hole in Zaun, and submerged entire districts underwater.

I feel as if Jinx was the cause of this, from the taunt interactions where Swain is saying it was her fault, faces in the flames etc, Vi being scared af when it happened since I think she used to live in Zaun as an orphan when she was younger, Warwick wanting to forget... And there wasn't another big event like this, so what else would swain be talking about other than the rememberance/progress Day explosion?

Warwick was Jinxs' dad when he was a gangster turned away from a life of crime to give his daughter a better example to follow, after he thought she died in some fire that she started as a joke when she was a kid he became an alcoholic which made it easy for Singed to sccop him up and make him a doggo. Oh and Jinx survived and now she cray-cray.

Myth busted.

Having been a Jinx and Warwick main in the past and now a Nidalee main yeah it's pretty annoying that they won't expand on this.

Riot on par with Blizzard in terms of lore. Too afraid to dedicate time to developing it.
