How long will it be until we uncover the 4 yr mystery?
About how Jinx knows Vi and why she's targeting her.
About how Jinx knows Vi and why she's targeting her.
More importantly, how does
and
know
.
Ekko dated Jinx at one point. I don't think that was really retconned out of Ekko's lore even if the recent stuff said nothing. As for Warick and Jinx, I think the theory goes is that Warwick had encountered Jinx years ago when she was a child. I think in Warwick's short story there is mention of a little, screaming girl, so maybe Warwick had a run in with Child Jinx and that might of been what caused Jinx to go nutty.
Even if its not retconned, we don't know that, as all Ekko says is that he had a crush on her, nothing more. With that, I think its likely Jinx becoming an orphan has something to do with Warwick and that she joined Ekko's gang before going crazy. Here's a theory I came up with a while ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueofjinx/comments/6l1161/jinx_theory_origins_of_a_maniac_long/
Ekko had a crush on her, not a relationship. Jinx is also pretty Infamous in Zaun/Piltover. Ekko hates piltover and jinx blows the shit out of it, and gets away with it.
As for Warwick, i presonally believe Jinx or her family or something were a victim of pre-singed Warwick before he decided to "live a normal life" as he was some sort of criminal. This could have been enough for what caused jinx's split personality (Fishbones/pow pow/ zapper) which then got worse because of shimmer use (shimmer is what causes her weird skin/eye color too).
What is shimmer? I just thought she was albino and dyed her hair. Her very pale skin and pinkish eyes would make sense then, but IDK what shimmer is.
From the wiki.
Shimmer One example of the denizens' love for freedom of expression is the unlawful synthesis of "Shimmer", a corrosive techmaturgical waste substance that is popular among Zaun's rebellious youth. When slathered onto the skin the Shimmer stimulates intense emotions in its subject. The Shimmer then creates an assortment of shining colors that corresponds to the emotion the subject is feeling. Though frequent application of the caustic glop can result in progressive degeneration of the skin and muscle tissue, a rumor that Shimmer can grant its wearer unnatural abilities has simply increased its demand.
Is shimmer still a thing? Think the lore that talks about it is from before the retcon? Doesn't mean it's not still a thing, just haven't seen mention of it in years.
We do know that a rioter has confirmed that something has happened to change Jinx's eyes and hair, and that the change is permanent. Whether its something she did or something that happened to her remains unknown.
I'd like to believe so, Considering chempunks are still being refered to i'd think they use something as they have chem in their name.
I don't want riot to force Drugs in their lore but having 1 or 2 would add to a more fleshed out world.
My current theory is Vi and Jinx were childhood friends, but Vi hit those edgy teenage years where it wasn't cool to play with kids anymore. So she left Jinx, who now didn't have any friends anymore, as Vi was the only one willing to play with the "weird kid." So all of Jinx's current stunts are her trying to play with Vi again, who has just simply forgotten her old friend. The blue hair and being bat-shit insane doesn't help.
My theory based on Vi's lore, is that Jinx was in a rival gang that was always at odds with Vi's. She did have her own gang after all. And then there was that incident when Vi saved those people from that Vault. Maybe Jinx was trying to remind Vi of the past with their recent Vaut battle.
my theory is that vi is the sister jinx mentions in her line "you think im crazy? you should see my sister" but i could be incredibly wrong there too i just like to think that
We know they both have sisters from in game VO - that Jinx line and a line Lyte the hermit has for VI in the howling abyss.
It's been speculated that they are sisters since Jinx was launched. No one will ever know the truth, is my guess.

i think it will just be one of those unofficially official things like how it never OUTRIGHT says aatrox is the one who slaughtered tryndameres tribe or that evelynn is the one who killed bruce vaynes parents
Jinx is older than Vi.
Proof?
source?
Jinx AMA, if I recall correctly. It's for sure been stated somewhere by a red.
I've legit never seen anything from riot that says they knew each other. Vi is a perfect target for jinx. A hotheaded, ex-gang member, cop. Who better to piss off.
When did you start?
They stated they had some history in AMA and numerous other comments i'm too lazy to lokk up atm.
i checked some ama. I started between s4 and s5.
There's some pretty strong hints
We know from VO in game that each has a sister. Jinx: "You think I'm crazy? You should see my sister!" Lyte (Howling Abyss hermit) to Vi: "You look like your sister. Oh wait, I'm not supposed to talk about that."
Certain champions seem to know both of them. Ekko seems to remember both and talks about events that are several years past, presumably. This has lead speculation that all three have been in the same gang at the same time. This is further fueled by each of them being associated with a Roman Numeral - VI for Vi, X for Jinx, and IX for Ekko (inscribed on the handle of his sword)
We also have been told that both are orphans, that Vi apparently can't remember much of her childhood, and that Jinx wasn't always crazy.

which is enough to see they aint sisters. Their design's are polar opposites.

The gang stuff was a mistake on the wiki's part before ekko's release and was removed really quick, i see it's back on there now though. It still wouldn't make sense though. The roman numerals are a bit difficult to get anything from. Caitlyn's enemy is known as C. Other than that ekko got his by stealing a clock handle from piltover there's not much to go by.

Which leads me to believe Jinx did encounter Warwick as a small child. As i don't know exactly when Warwick was turned it could either be Post-Singed or Pre-singed warwick. Post-singed has a habit of losing control when he smells blood which could cause a small child some kinda trauma. Pre singed Warwick had just turned over a new leaf but had done something wrong.
As for vi, idk i'd like to think she just grew up in the slums of zaun without parents and ended up in a gang.
FYI: I believe someone from riot once said EVERY champion has a sister. maybe not anymore cuz we got a bunch of gods/spirits runnin around now.
One of the lead rioters had an interview with some Germans(??), idk some other country, and he blatantly said Vi & Jinx are sisters. He spoke in english btw, so no mistranslation.
which they later stated was a mistake.
Wait did they change Ekko, Vi, and Jinx being childhood compatriots?
I dont think that was cannon
Ekko certainly knows both of them and refers to being friends with them in the past tense. "man, you used to be so cool" to Vi and "I used to like you, before you started talking to your guns" for Jinx. So he knows them both well enough to have been friends with them for some time. Factor in that Vi got recruited to the Piltover Police some time ago, and they were probably friends some "in world" years ago. Since Jinx cropped up in Piltover after Vi (and was crazy then) and Ekko remembers her before she went crazy, it has probably been some time for that pair as well. Whether he knew them both at the same time, and if they then knew each other at that point, is unknown.
Jinx and Vi were both trouble making youths of Zaun. That alone is probably reason enough for at least Jinx to know of Vi.
Vi is Piltover's best know law enforcer along with Cait. Jinx hates Piltover's law enforcement. If it's anything deeper it hasn't been revealed yet.
Sisters from the same gang
Riot Ghostcrawler confirmed that
and
are sisters.

He later stated that was a mistake
Well lore was rewritten and pretty much revoked so idk if thats even a thing anymore or this is just like kogmaws father/kassadins daughter
Actually, Kassadin's daughter is still canon, even if we still know nothing for sure about her. Urgot mentions her when he kills Kassadin with his ult.

Here's some food for thought: "On his deathbed, a notoriously mad sump-scrapper claimed to have found Vi adrift in a bassinet large enough for two in the ruins of a collapsed chem-laboratory."
It's safe to assume that Vi definitely has or had a sibling. Whether or not that is Jinx remains to be seen.
