Jhin/Deadeye-The Chakra Shooter

TBakes··9 votes·2,225 views

I believe the three teasers so far correspond to areas of chakral energy: third eye, throat, and heart. If the pattern continues, then I would expect Vi to be injured in the solar plexus.

I don't know enough lore off the top of my head to really connect the symbolism. Does Zed have a connection with intuition? Does Sona have a connection with communication? Does Garen have a connection to family and love? Does Vi have a connection with power and autonomy?

Maybe this could be considered a part of the Ionian culture as well? The goal of an individual would be to balance one's chakras, but they are generally unbalanced and maybe the new champion would use this to his/her advantage?

Truly outrageous.

Zed = intuition is hard to surmise, but the position he coveted was one that required it... he would have to know where the line is to avoid falling off of it into too much compassion or too much aggression.

Sona is mute so... yeah. Communication. Kind of a thing.

Garen is from a very prestigious family. His sister fights alongside him... AND he's in love with one of the enemy, so he fits in several counts.

Vi made giant gauntlets to punch everyone. Um.... power obsessed? Also she was formerly a poor, trampled street orphan. Lack of power?

Maybe it's about what they all WANT.

Yeah, so in the world of chakras it would mean they each have an imbalance of energy. I can see it might be connected with what they covet or where they are limited.

But there are 7 chakras,but only 4 teasers(unless they managed to hide the other teasers)

Yep, you are right! I was just meditating yesterday and it kind of clicked where the positioning of the what-appear-to-be injuries are located. They also seem to be where vitals are located (brain, jugular, heart), but since Fiora already utilizes the vitals system in her gameplay I tried to figure out what else the pattern could be. Thanks for sharing.

Order of released teasers:

Zed: 3 letters Sona: 4 letters Garen: 5 letters VI: 6 in roman

There are 7 chakras...coincidence?

Maybe Riot will invent their own, new chakra points practiced in Ionia. They have the power to do so.

Oooooo I like that idea. I would not be surprised if they adapted the belief to part of the Ionian society.
