User blog:Shigfugjum/"Jhin" and the Four Champion Icons

So I've done a bit of reading up on the four champions whose icons have been altered to tease the upcoming champion (assumabley). These champs are, if you don't know, Garen, Sona, Vi, and Zed.. These champions all have had shimmering overlay effects added to their icons - Garen has leaves, Sona has birds, Zed has petals, and Vi has Smoke. Additionally, each champion's expression is change to of repose. Except for Zed, who simply lacks the glowing red eyes.

It's hard to find a true connection betweens these characters. Sona, Vi, and Zed are all orphans that grew up without their birth parents, though Garen's official lore makes no mention of whether his parents are living or deceased.

All of them do command some role of authority or awe. Garen is a respected Demacian commander. Zed leads the Order of Shadows. Sona is a famous musician who  draws huge crowds for her performances. Vi is an imposing figure that (purportedly) intimidates the criminals of Piltover. Another way to put it is all four are paragons in their fields. Garen, a great leader; Zed, a ninja wth mastery of forbidden techniques, Sona a musician, and Vi a master of punching things.

Zed, Garen, and Vi all have rivals. Zed has Shen and the Order of Twilight. Garen has Katarina. Vi has Jinx. Sona doesn't have a rival, though she did vie for attention among the other orphans.

The final parallel I could see is that all four have had some significant exhange or meeting that changed the direction of their lives. Zed was banished, Sona was adopted and/or met the etwahl (her instrument). Vi was nearly buried alive, became a robin hood of sorts, and then joined the Piltover police. Garen met Katarina and started his rivalry.

Honestly, I'm not sure what this all means for the new champion (especially since not all of things things seem to apply to all champions). Based on the teaser art it doesn't seem like the new champion is a friend of these four. Perhaps he has some kind of envy for them? What do you guys think?
