I fail to see how what they said and what you said are somehow different. "The new theme really set us going" is the same as "we had no enthusiasm for the previous theme".

Jhin was "cancelled" due to thematic difficulties. He started out in a very similar visual space to how he is now but they were trying to design him as a bounty hunter. They could never get the mechanics and visuals to mesh, and so they scrapped his visuals and instead developed Kindred to suit the gameplay. Months later someone came up with an awesome gameplay direction and resurrected the old Jhin visuals. Losing enthusiasm is hardly a stretch of the imagination.
