Q: Why did player Gumayusi choose Jinx as his champion skin?
Gumayusi : I thought about which champions were meaningful to me. When I first started playing AD, I began with Jhin, and I originally wanted to choose Jhin, but there is already an SKT T1 Jhin champion skin, as well as a DWG Jhin champion skin, so Jhin was eliminated. My criteria were—no repetition and meaningful champions. When we won the championship, I performed well with Jinx in the finals, so I chose Jinx.
Q: The Jinx champion skin has dual eye colors. Why did you design it this way?
Gumayusi : I saw photos of people with dual eye colors and thought it was very beautiful and special. I heard that there are not many people in the world with dual eye colors, which makes it look very unique, so I wanted to showcase this in my skin.
Q: Do you have an artistic talent?
Gumayusi : A little bit.
Q: I heard you wanted to emphasize your signature move. How is it showcased in the skin?
Gumayusi : I think it is meaningful for my favorite champions to use my signature move, and many fans like my signature move, so I wanted to showcase this in the skin.
Q: I saw your pet—Duni—in the recall animation of Jinx. I often see Duni in your sister's comics as well. How long have you had Duni?
Gumayusi : I really like Duni, and I am Duni's second favorite family member.
Q: Who is Duni's favorite?
Gumayusi : Duni likes my mom the most because she gives Duni a lot of snacks. Fans also really like Duni. Whenever I receive gifts, there are always many gifts for Duni. Fans pay a lot of attention to Duni. I wanted to share my love for Duni with everyone, so I included Duni in the skin.
Q: I heard that the adorable Duni almost became the "Chew Fire Grenade." Why did this happen?
Gumayusi : I told the design team that I wanted to include Duni in the skin, and they asked me which skill I wanted to put it in. I said I didn't want it in a skill, but in the recall animation, so they removed Duni from the skill.
Q: Please say something to Duni.
Gumayusi : My vacation is very short, but I will often come to see you. Don't be sad and stay well.
(Trying out the Jinx skin)
Gumayusi : It's very beautiful. Because I really like red, I asked the design team to make the hair red. The basic attack is blue. I wanted the basic attack to feel light because the feel of the basic attack is very important.
The W is thicker. I think it should be easier to hit. It feels thicker than the original skin (wider range), making it easier to hit.
The ultimate triggers with the T1 logo.
This scene also appeared during previous live broadcasts. If you ask Duni to shake hands without giving it snacks, it usually refuses and turns its head, so the recall effect showcases this aspect. The recall effect has my signature, and next to it is Duni's paw print. Additionally, the T1 logo in the recall effect initially starts red and later turns gold, featuring such details.
