Anyone else think Jhin is Ao Shin?

I believe that a while after Ao Shin was declared to be on hold and Riot said they may rename him. Also I think that in the beginning of the trailers the noise isn't a gunshot but thunder and lightening. (Reminder Ao Shin was going to be a storm dragon champion) The lore from the Udyr Spirit Guard Comic Promo (with Ao Shin at the end) states that he (Udyr) is guarding a temple that if captured by evil a great shadow would fall on Runeterra (Zed and that mysterious box that was never confirmed to fall into his holding in his lore? Bard likes stealing Cosmic artifacts, could he have taken the box and stored it with Udyr in a different temple?). Ao Shin was also described as being of the natural world, and I believe there has been a lot of theory involving Jhin being an elemental type champion. Not sure how Sona Garen Vi would fit in? Only Sona and Zed are from Ionia, not sure how Garen Vi fit in though.

> Legend holds that when Ionia faces its greatest crisis, Ao Shin will descend from the sky.

Not sure if this idea has already been brought up and its kinda a stretch but thoughts?

Not at all because Ao Shin's been iceboxed. He's unlikely to see the light of day for a VERY long time, and probably not even with that name.

Beginning to think it would have been better if they never unveiled Ao and just waited until he could be developed to show him off

The thing is that deadeye is pretty likely to be a marksman(to be more precise he seems to be even one with some sort of rifle) and I really doubt that they'd make ao shin a marksman...

it makes sense that they would make ao shin be jhin/deadeye the name hasn't fully been confirmed but he does have points that when each of the champions die it sounded like a lightning strike and I like the point were he is described as being of the nature world which would make sense on why he would have to kill sona, vi, garen, and zed. Lets start with zed he wanted power and theirfore took the living shadows and lost his control in the end ao shin who wanted all the people who got power and lost something in return he wanted things to go back to the natural world and it looks like each person he kiled was the people who go what they wanted or lost the thing that they didn't know they had to sacrifice. Vi gloves was shot off sona got shot in the throut and garen was shot in his heart.
