Why is Jarvan often paired with Quinn?

I always wondered where did this pairing come from, so I'm just looking for some background.

I know she's a member of Demacia's Elite with Jarvan at the head, but that's all i know.

Because people are bad at shipping and don't ship the obvious, like J4 and Shyvana.

Bad at shipping? Please.

There's no fault to be found in ships like Sonakaiser

Sharjo5 votes

I can respect Sonakaiser.

I can't respect Quinn X J4 or Zac X Riven.

Hell I've seen some folks ship Sona with Thresh as opposed to Mordekaiser. Not the worst ship ever but really?

YOU DON'T DATE WITHIN THE BAND. Come on MM your better than this.

Why not? The band stays together that way and isn't torn from outside. :^)

Internal drama can make it worse. It's already hard enough with Karthus's drinking problem.

TyrekGoldenspear2 votes

Eh, Sonakaiser ain't contributing to the drama.

Morde is a dependable guy, and Sona's a great listener. :^)

You, I like you.

J4&Shyvana FTW.

I don't think there is any substance for the J4/Shyvana ship either.

Jarvana is the only ship I accept.

Oooh, don't let this one shyvana player (ironscale azura I think) hear you say that. She would fight and die to put an end to that ship.

You think I'm joking but I'm not.

Ah hmmm well I mean everyone has their ships. I feel JoJ implied some really interesting ties between the two, even if its not canon anymore :)

Oh I was hoping for some story where they interact or some comment from a Rioter way back or something.

Or something like how Ezreal x Lux was introduced.

Hissss, get that woman away from my Ezreal. I stake claim on him in the name of Taric.

Sure, I am always up for a 1v1, they are fun. Arranged champions? Or blind pick?

TyrekGoldenspear2 votes

Lol how about a truce instead?

We both play Taric after all, we are a rare breed. We should work together.

It mostly stems from her champion teaser journal entries.

There appears to be a mutual respect between the two. Jarven not being what she expected, and him encouraging Quinn to follow her own judgment, as well as personally granting her a place amid the Demacian elite for her success.

There are hints of a love triangle between Jarvan-Shyvana-Quinn in the game and lore. Jarvan and Shyvana are probably closer, but her ability to change into a dragon makes her untrustworthy in the eyes of the Demacian people, and Jarvan being the future king needs to respect the public opinion. Quinn on the other hand, is a Demacian by birth, and this makes her a much more traditional choice for a relationship. Both are members of the Vanguard strictly for their unique abilities, but they both in a position to try and win Jarvan's heart.

Quinn isn't nobility, it's a major part of her lore that she's a peasant that climbed the ranks of the military.

Yeah sorry, I don't know why I thought she was. I have fixed that.

Chromatic Eagle6 votes

There is no love triangle. Just shipper brains seeing things.

Sexy Jack Rabbit3 votes

I've never even seen the Triangle? She mentions him like once in her journal entries, and he's not at all present in her Lore. I don't really get where people get the idea Riot was trying to push them together.

midnight oil244 votes

Honestly I don't want Jarvan with anyone. Quinn is too good for him (plus valor would get jealous), and Shyvana... I don't know, she just doesn't seem like she'd be into Jarvan.

TyrekGoldenspear4 votes

That sounds like Villain talk to me...

None speak ill of Prince Jarvan Lightshield the Fourth!

Yes I do play J4 in case you're wondering.

midnight oil241 votes

I don't like Jarvan as a person, and feel that he shouldn't be with anyone. Shyv and Quinn are too good for him.

I like him as a character though. He's so ridiculous and over the top.

DEMACIAAAAAAA!!!!!!

I will accept this answer. Might I ask why you think that is? If anything he's the crown prince, he should be the one making the choice here.

midnight oil246 votes

Well for one thing, that's fairly rude to the female characters. But also, he leaves his country behind to go on some redemption quest, leaving his kingdom without a prince. What if the king had died?

Also, shyv is half dragon, and quinn flies around. the most Jarvan can do is make a crater.

TyrekGoldenspear4 votes

Well i pointed out his royalty, so I was kinda riding on that. Sorry if it wasn't clear.

Secondly he went on a redemption quest to become a better king.

Call me crazt but Demacia would be better off with a confident King that knew himself as opposed to a weak and indecisive King, which pretty much describes J4 immediately after his rescue. He was humiliated and his confidence and ability shattered. You can't run a kingdom that way.

Also don't underestimate the crater. It is powered by Demacia.

Also Quinn needs Valor to fly. Jarvan can just slam the ground and make a crater. Pretty impressive.

midnight oil242 votes

I know that it's better off with a confident king but it's sort of like if the next in line to the throne of england decided that he wanted to be a better king so he went off on a redemption quest. It's impractical and helps no one.

As for the crater... https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSFN6Q3Gm3e4aUWmOyQ5KjXG47qtMcFr_9tWFAmYBB1sdYD8u3sjUA7k6I

It's how J4's gonna run demacia.

You are correct. In the center and in control of everything while his foolish allies think he's boxing them in.

Demacia is an oppressive nation.

At least noxus doesn't say that its problems are "justice".

Oppressive to villains maybe.

It may be stuck up, but it is orderly and values honor and justice, hence I prefer it over lawless Noxus.

Besides, Demacia didn't invade and try to conquer Ionia. That was Noxus.
