My current Theories on Jhin "Deadeye"

So, here is the TLDR- We may have our first AP marksman incoming.

Some Thoughts:

Marksman- Zed (midlane Assassin), Sona (Support mage), Garen (Top Juggernaut), Vi (Jungle Fighter) What's left? Marksman. ---------- Each of the trailers plays a sound which (though sometimes is argued as thunder) in my opinion is pretty clearly a gunshot. --------- Best seen in the Sona teaser, there is a trail that looks much like a bullet trail, and what appears to be an actual bullet in her throat.

AP: This one was a little tougher, but hear me out: ----~~Someone on another thread mentioned the name Jhin having lore to some kind of dream weaver or something like that. ~~(I can't seem to find this info) ----Each of the Gunshot wounds in the teasers are anything but natural and seem to carry some very interesting themes: --------Zed: blue light, what looks like some kind of plant growing out of his face, Water is a major life giving source, hence plant growth. (Zed=Water bullet?) --------Sona: The light is whispier, and there are butterflies. Looks like Air element to me. (Sona=Air bullet?) --------Garen: If you are catching the pattern yet, the crystals (diamonds?) fractures are green, precious gems? Earth element. (Garen=Earth bullet?) --------Vi: This one will be up soon, but based on the leaked champion icon, I expect shades of red and or pink (cuz Vi) and something that makes me think: (Vi=Fire bullet?)

As far as the target's connections? Theories are out there for that one as well. The best one I have heard is that they are conflicted in some way or another within themselves:

Zed: Sought approval of his master, felt he didn't get it, so he sought power. He found his dark power, but in exchange lost everything, including that which he sought in the first place.

Sona: Grew up an unwanted orphan, then learned to play a magical instrument and was suddenly loved by all. Is there internal struggle about her worth? Do they really like her, or is it just her magic? She'd ask, but.... :P

Garen: Everyone wonders about the inner thought life of Garen, the heart and soul of Demacian idealism, as it pertains to Katarina, not only a Noxian, but also the complete opposite of himself: an assassin. How does he deal with these emotions?

Vi: Amnesia, probably wonders about her past a lot, and although she works to uphold the "law", she has a strong liking and enjoyment of violence/fighting.

Zed: 3 Sona: 4 Garen: 5 VI: 6 Deadeye: 7

I think this means we will officially see his reveal (or he will hit the pbe, maybe both?) on the 7th of January.

These are just my random thoughts.

Isn't Azir an AP marksman?

But... Tristana, Ezreal, Corki and Kogmaw were "AP marksman" long time ago...

When I heard the gunshot sound, I have to guess that Jhin "Deadeye" is using a blunderbuss. Think about it, no other guns makes that booming sound other than that. Caitlyn has a sniper, Tristana has a cannon, Graves has a shotgun, Miss Fortune has miniature blunderbusses, but this one sounds more like a blunderbuss rifle.

What do you think, guys?

But Vi didn't look shot to me.

Zeds theme = blue = Azure gems

Sona's theme = White = Opal gems

Garens them = green = Emerald gems

Vi's theme = red = Ruby gems


Who do we know that uses gems? Thats right. Taric rework confirmed KappaRoss
