Jinx, the Trailblazer of League Entertainment
Canon means nothing anymore and League of Legends new boy band has got me thinking. If all League of Legends champions were in a celebrity au, Jinx would be a superstar A-lister.
Nowadays League has virtual bands like Pentakill, KDA, True Damage, and now Heart Steel, but Jinx was very the first champion ever in League of Legends to debut with an exclusive music video.
Two years later she premieres with the first generation of the Star Guardians, a smash hit skinline that's sometimes treated like a TV show by League. Think live action sailor moon, but with an idol cast.
Later on Jinx it seems like Jinx took a break from the limelight, just appearing in commercials and brand deals here and there. But if you look at bands like True Damage, she literally left her mark in the music video. Whoever's her represeantation (and maybe Ekko's too) they used the Giants music video to promote Arcane two years before it came out. On top of that she gets invited to the Grammy's the same as Ekko despite not being singing any songs.Could she have been working as a music producer/executive/director(?) behind the scenes?
After more commercials and appearances Jinx finally gets her big break in prestige television that receives universal acclaim and awards. She didn't get the most screentime, but she and Silco get the lions hare of praise.
Later Jinx probably chooses to rest on her laurels in between Arcane and take on a new, less high pressure project in Cafe Cuties, which is treated like a real piece of media in Star Guardians (and maybe started as a book series). Jinx's like an actor who was in both a Marvel and Star Wars films when it come to Star Guardian and Cafe Cuties, though more girly pop. If League champions were celebrities, Jinx would probably be one of those that always has a project lined up.

Genuine question league fandom but why did everyone hate Star Guardian Ekko when it came out so much? I thought the effects looked really pretty, yes the model looked kinda weird, yes the prestige honestly looks better then the base but it still looks fine, and even if it wasn’t, is it really that bad to warrent the disliking bombing on the skinspotlights video? LIKE WHAT DID THEY DO YOU TO DO THAT THEYRE KUST DOING THEYRE BEST CMON

Riot Games Kicks-off Star Guardian Event With Cross-game Content, Musical Collabs, Merch, And More
Today, game developer and publisher Riot Games announced details of the global Star Guardian event, a 10-week magical experience that brings together global players and anime fans alike with immersive in-game content and out-of-game events. The Star Guardian event begins globally on Thursday, July 14, with the song and music video release of the event anthem “Everything Goes On” by Porter Robinson. Then, players and fans will see new content releases in "League of Legends", "League of Legends: Wild Rift", and "Legends of Runeterra", and the launch of "Sessions: Star Guardian Taliyah" and the Star Guardian merch line.
Star Guardian is Riot Games' tribute to the magical girl (mahō shōjo), an anime genre that empowers young women, shows the importance of good friends, and celebrates authentic representations of one’s self. Like the content and series that came before it, Star Guardian is a vibrant alternative universe that centers on a young cast of champions who navigate school relationships by day and the responsibilities of magical warriors by night.

"Star Guardian is a world our players love and have been wanting to see more of for so many years," said Executive Producer on "League of Legends" Jeremy Lee. "We're so excited to be bringing it back in this big way, across multiple titles and parts of Riot, and working with so many amazing partners to really show the potential of this universe to our players, as well as potential new fans who love this kind of magic just as much as us."
Kicking off the event is the release of “Everything Goes On”, a song by acclaimed vocalist, songwriter, and producer Porter Robinson - Robinson wrote, produced and sang on the track. “Everything Goes On” tells the story of two Star Guardians, each independently coming to terms with their loss and finding the will to move on with their new comrades. The song will be available to stream on all major streaming platforms and its music video will premiere on YouTube.
This fourth iteration of the Star Guardian series will see fresh faces join popular favorites across three Riot titles:
- "League of Legends", the world's most-played PC MOBA, will be releasing 12 new Star Guardian skins, an in-client narrative experience titled Star Guardian: Another Sky, a brand new champion, and an event pass to unlock more exclusive content:
- Champion Launch: Nilah the Joy Unbound (ADC)

At the same time, by completing in-game champion missions, they'll increase their "bond" with the various Guardians, unlocking rewards and discovering new stories along the way.
- "League of Legends: Wild Rift", Riot Games' made-for-mobile MOBA, features new and returning Star Guardians during this event, as well as its own in-client narrative experience featuring the Star Guardians' familiars:

- Players will witness Xayah’s journey to save Rakan first-hand with the help of some brand new Star Guardians. They'll level up their squad and their familiars through a series of in-game missions, battle chaos monsters in combat encounters, and follow the fearless Guardians as they learn to forgive and forge new friendships.

I will certainly miss Katey wherever she flips her fins. 🧜♀️♥
