Is Riot ever going to clarify on lores such as why 
screamed when he went inside the temple or if is 
's father taking the place of ? Why 
's face appears 
's armor as a reflection in one of 
's artwork? Or if 
is actually 
in the past life? I'd really like to know more about the lores, maybe start publishing books or something. I'd buy and read them .-. 
This belongs in memes and games, because there is no "conspiracy theory" section.
Well Swain mentions in the sion promo that Leblanc used J4s blood for a "great charade",which likely means that LB manipulated the kalamanda incident to some extent(though it is possible that kalamanda is going to be replaced with a similar plot)
Also there is pretty much nothing that suggests that kindred is jhin,Kindred is death and thus was always there,whereas jhin is a mortal human.
There are 3 possiblities I can think of about Zed's scream.
Someone was there with Master Kusho and happened a case that Zed couldn't stop. It ended with Master Kusho's death and he screamed. Even while he was broken emotionally at this moment, he wanted to look no weak and used this murdering for his purpose.
He tried to defend himself but killed him accidently. Same as the first possibility, he used it for his benefit while he regreted a lot.
Master Kusho killed himself for some reasons and Zed (again) used this.
Zed's scream %90 surely explains his love for Master Kusho in his deep soul. He doesn't want to look weak so he never shows his this side.
Zed probably screamed because having shadow spirits invade your mind and force you to kill your father to defend their anchor is not exactly a comfortable experience.
The LeBlanc reflection thingy was an aborted story arc where Noxus had her infiltrate Demacia, abduct, and replace Prince Jarvan for some sinister purpose, but it appears to have been retconned along with all the original Summoners/Institute of War lore.
Kindred and Jhin have no connection except that they both wear masks. The former is Valoran's embodiment of Death and the latter is a serial murderer who makes modern art out of his victims.
Okay, no. I'm sorry, but no. I hate when people talk about Kindred being Jhin (But hey, maybe it's a legit theory that I just haven't heard all of). Look, Jhin and Kindred are associated with each other because of this: Riot wanted to make a "Bounty Hunter" character, so they first thought up this cyborg cowboy guy who could collect bounties on other champs (and maybe jungle monster, I dunno). Originally, his ult was going to be a near-global range Lux ult with a tiny hitbox. If you were able to land this on a "Bountied" champ, it would be an insta-kill. This eventually just became Jhin's E. Anyway, they iceboxed Jhin. While working on Kindred, they decided that the bounty system worked better with them, so they took it from Jhin and gave it to Kindred.
If they share similar quotes it's probably an easter egg or reference to this relationship.
…Geez, why did I write so much?
