[s2 act 3 spoilers] My controversial opinion on the characters' deaths

TW: SUICIDE

I'm not ready to let go of Jinx completely, I think her conclusion can go both ways. There's some evidence she might've lived and I can't imagine Riot actually killing the most beloved character like this. But what if they do?

I know people have very strong opinions on characters sacrificing themselves, especially if said characters could achieve redemption any other way. They say it's depressing and shows that when you're broken enough, the only way is to kys. But, my two cents as someone who's been battling suicidal thoughts for years and maybe yearned for a sacrifice like this... I don't disapprove of this message. I think people deserve to go out on their terms. Suicide isn't inherently bad. It's a human right. And Jinx has been through so much that maybe it was the best choice for her. After all, that's what Silco said; the only way to end the cycle is to opt out. She was ready to do that with burning everything left after her jinx-style, but in the end, she was ready to go out like a hero. Instead of simply killing herself, she made it an act of love for her sister. She went out on her own terms.

On the other hand, if she's actually alive, it could be explained in a satisfactory way too (because imo characters magically turning up alive isn't a much better trope either). As I wrote above, she lives like a jinx but doesn't die like one. It's her ultimate act. Well, what if this is where Jinx dies? Her christening. Jinx was born in the flames and died in the flames. Instead, Powder comes back. She passed the test. She's free now.

Idk, I just wanted to pour out my thoughts and feelings. I do hope Jayce, Viktor and Heimerdinger don't come back because imo their arcs were finished perfectly. But Jinx is a more complex and volatile character. Schrodinger's cat, even.

Either way, she will always live in my heart. Thank you, Riot and Fortiche. It's a shame that leaks turned out to be true and that spoiled the fun for me but overall, I was satisfied with the ending.
