"Jhin" Theory

Ok, so i just had this idea i wanted to share. I realize that probably only 4.20 people will see this, buuuut i still want to share.

So, after seeing and hearing all the speculation about the teasers, i looked at them and thought about it myself, and came to a possible conclusion.

Teasers:

Garen - shows a bolt piercing his armor, (taking away his endurance and strength? ) Vi - shows her power fists being ripped off (taking away her main weapon and fighting force) Zed - bolt is piercing his head (this is his main heapon, his cunnung and the shadows, which are inside his mind after he became corrupted) Sona - Here, a bolt is flowing from her mouth, taking away her voice (this is a bit different, as she has no voice to begin with, but, shill relevant to her musical abilities, which are her main power. ** Conclusion:** Jhin could be a really cool champ with power stealing abilities, that allows him to be influenced by the game and who is in it This would be really cool, but would also require a huge amount of work on riot's side, so, i believe this will probably not be the case. Would it be cool? yes, it would be awesome Do i think it's gonna happen? crosses fingers

In reality, Jhin will probably be a mage (im hoping adc) that will have one cool ability and the rest of them will be simple and generic Honestly, this might not even be a teaser for a new champion, but for a rework or a set of skins

Anyway, surprise me riot! ;)

EDIT 1: The name "Jhin", refers to a genie, which can create things at his will another thing i thought was that it would be way to hard to create a new "power" for every champ, so maybe it's off of classes (fighter, tank, mage), as the champions that had teasers on their pages are all different classes

This might be possible. For quite a few months now, people over at the champions and skin concepts section have been putting out ideas about champions that take the souls of enemies out, and now we have Illaoi. It's common knowledge that while Riot will never straight out just use a concept from there, they do sometimes look to people's suggestions for inspiration and ideas. Another popular concept in that section is a champion that can copy other champion's abilities. It's possible they might have worked with the idea.

Well if Riot will do a champ who steals abillities it will take huge work and it will take huge space cuz over a hundred champion is in the game. But it will be cool and good idea.

Kirby ADC?

Feels very potent, which is exactly the reason I have a hard time believing all of this. From your descriptions, Jhin would neutralize the strength of each enemy champion, as in the character would have built-in counters against the entire roster. Potentially persistent (not as a result of excess power as a new release) upperhand against other champions aside, this would also mean that the champion would require an update for each subsequent champion; while Riot has the resources to do so, over time this just gets gimmicky and old.
