So while I like the fact that Jinx is getting some more stories...

Is no one going to mention the fact that Jinx's new story and bio literally breaks the lore?

How the hell can Piltover be so prestigious and good that they can literally afford to lose massive infrastructural buildings and monuments and not suffer more than a few thousand dosh losses?

The amount of damage Jinx has reportedly done is enough to completely destroy a state let-alone a single city. I can afford suspension of disbelief but when she's literally blowing up transits and transports amoungst other critical structures like support beams for some of the city and outright destroying the biggest bank in Piltover then it all starts becoming very silly.

Exactly how the hell does Piltover seemingly recover from all this so fast? It makes legitimately no sense.

This just in... jinx's new lore is actually extremely poorly written. It tells us nothing new about her at all. It doesn't even tell much of a story. The whole thing is basically summed up with the line "Jinx is a crazy person from someplace that blows up everything and gets away with it because reasons. Also she hates Vi for... also reasons."

It tells us nothing, adds nothing new to ANY of the characters featured it... and frankly writes her as kind of an anarchist mary sue.

Uhm no a huge city state won't break down because a few buildings get destroyed.

Its not like Jinx destroys important buildings every day and so far we only know of like 2 buildings and a wedding that were destroyed.

From what I've gathered, Piltover is a big city with lots of money. Jinx has only destroyed a few buildings that we know of. Also you'd be mistaken to assume that no one has died from any of her antics. The bank and the monuments were the only two that were said to have no casualties, along with the wedding she crashed. But I'm sure people have been killed by her explosions in other schemes. The destruction she's brought has also likely harmed their economy a lot. They don't need to give us every little detail about how everything works. Any good writer is going to leave plenty for the readers' imaginations.

Also, I doubt Piltover has fully recovered considering Jinx is still doing her thing.
