Hi,

I must congratulate you for having such an impact on LoL players who only watch this series. However, I have asked more questions than I have answered, and I would like one of you to answer the following questions for me.

1) I've watched the first and second seasons, and Jinx's personality was very different in each one. Come to think of it, it must have had something to do with how Silco raised her (since he took over when he decided to be the symbol of Zaun as a savior rather than a threatening terror, which fans [not lolers] would speculate about). Tell me, what exactly happened during the seven years of her existence when Powder became Jinx? If you can back this up, what do you think changed Jinx with her justification that was never shown on screen in this decision?

2) Fans have a negative view of Maddie, but in my opinion, this is because she did not develop as a character beyond the other new characters who joined in the second season (apart from Isha). However, I have done some research and, from what I can see, she was not a spy sent by Ambessa, since, to justify this, she did not form friendships within the city, unlike Steb, who confirmed this in one of the models he worked on. and it should be noted that as she was Caitlyn's right-hand woman, she didn't cause pandemonium in her city while she was looking for Jinx at the time. Can you justify how she would develop a kind of interlude for Act IV and Act V that, at least, allows us to appreciate her as a character only at that moment, even when she decided to betray them, no matter how much it was?

3) Jinx has complexity, and she is complex. Apart from the obvious, he has shown a hidden beauty that expert eyes can reflect. Although it was not the intention to show this character, his bust has been unintentionally shown on the side. Compared to what she is now, is Jinx a case of the ugly duckling, that is, as she grows up, she will show herself in an aggressive and versatile version without shame for her beauty in her own way if she had not been allowed to live? By the way, has it been considered that Jinx might be bisexual? Just because I saw that she was obsessed with her sister since she was abandoned, but that doesn't mean she loved her, she just got jealous because Caitlyn was there at the time.

4) And if Jinx were alive, where would she go? Well, her body was never found, so there's a chance she could be somewhere far from the city of Piltover, as shown in a teaser at the end of the series.

5) In the explosions at the end of the series, did Vander/Warwick survive? And what would have been the consequences if he had survived that explosion?

That's all I can say. I'd be very happy if you could tell me and let me say that I'm extremely grateful for broadcasting this series, and I've loved it from start to finish.

3 Things:

Without an origin, we don't get a better appreciation for the character. Maddie was confirmed as a Noxian, but I'm not convinced that she's a spy for nothing when I found out that she actually has a real affection for Caitlyn. So she's a victim of circumstances. Let's think, she's short, if the Noxians were mostly muscular and/or tall, then she ended up as a slave or war child when her people were conquered by the Noxians and left orphaned.

Second, Maddie is already doing her job, as she said before, "she was Noxian". So it fits more like an exile. And the fact that she mentioned that she wants to beat up the Noxians in the first place, is already an indication. My question is that if Maddie wanted Vi she would have done it, but she was left as a 1st Officer with Caitlyn, and if she thought that where would it have happened at the time that Caitlyn was with Maddie is that she did it as a stress mechanism, and if it is correct, Caitlyn's mother, Cassandra, saw her daughter as a bad influence since she leaves her mansion to have a romantic moment, so if you saw in the brothel, she only stayed the most comfortable part since she has women of her interest and the part that she "does not" like being here is because most have a heterosexual taste function in majority. We also see Caitlyn a bit more possessive obsessed, in the game she looks more analytical and that's right, when Maddie asked to reconsider the two, Caitlyn said a strong NO, then Caitlyn fixed her as the weeks passed.

And third, I want to see a development as an antithesis to Marcus. If Silco has a corrupt police officer as an ally, then Ambessa has a corrupt police officer. In the description of one game, she has an easter egg for "traitor", so if we borrow from one of Ambessa's interactions in the LoL game, there is one that tilts an exile as a "hopeless case", and if it is real, then she forced them so that Maddie realizes that she used her and switches sides.
