Jinx should start a war between Zaun and Piltover?

Yet another Jinx thread... by me.

So if there's going to be some kind of big conflict between Zaun and Piltover, wouldn't it be fitting that Jinx kinda sparks it? There would be the usual tension between the two cities but then Jinx starts terrorizing Piltover; thus causing them to freak out and blame Zaun. Then as a result of both the criticism and just a bunch of criminals seeing an opportunity, Zaunites would start rioting in the streets of Piltover. And there you have a sort of war between Zaun and Piltover. All the Piltovian champs would be coming together to stop this and keep civilians safe while the Zaunite champs would take advantage of the chaos. Of course there would be some like Warwick, Zac, Janna and possibly Ekko who would be more likely to help Piltover in a situation where people are dying left and right; or rather just trying to keep the peace. And then you have the Noxian spies who would also see this Jinx induced panic as an opportunity to do their thing.

So basically, Jinx would turn into the chaos inspiring criminal mascot of Zaun.

Ok this has nothing to do about what u said but I NEED TO SPREAD THE WORD. The warwick special interactions video from skin spotlights shows 2 special interactions to JINX!!!! 1." You were there" 2. "Let me forget"

This HAS to mean that jinx IS a experiment!!!! Woooo

I don't think Warwick would really be much help in that scenario. His sanity in his new rework form is.... probably questionable. Given a chaotic battlefield I get the feeling that he'd just loose himself to blood lust and not know who was innocent in a fight and needed saving.

Tbh it would be a little unfitting if Zaun and Piltover went into complete war with each other. Plitover and Zaun are like the same city, except one is the good district and one is the bad district. People move from Piltover to Zaun to do more illegal procedures, find illegal goods, etc but it's not like the connection between them was disestablished. If the connection was disestablished it'd be weird to have a storyline where people in the middle of a war (in two cities right above/below eachother) are still selling/buying hextech stuff from the other side, making negotiations, etc.

It would just leave a lot of question marks on what certain champions would do like Zac, who would he see as "good"? They are both killing each other doing something "bad". Would he even take a side? Warwick would no longer be a vigilante killing off zaun scum, he would just turn into blood thirsty wolf. Removing that aspect of his character. Ekko actually wanted to take over Piltover, so he wouldnt favor it.

In his wildest dreams, Ekko imagines his hometown rising up to dwarf the City of Progress. Piltover's golden veneer would be overshadowed by the sheer ingenuity and relentless spunk of a Zaun born

It would be a cool in-game lore event, but to make it an actual conflict in the story, i'd rather just have two cities with opposing ideas with little conflict in between, seems like a smoother approach.
