Timebomb nation, once again I'm here to tell you about russian localisation's ekkojinx moments. When translating Tales of Runeterra's character lines our translators accidentally made a genius mistake and now Ekko has a nickname for Jinx. Try to guess which one. It's Bomb. Of course it's Bomb 💣

#how did this mistake happen? well. since those lines were released before Arcane... Powder's name was mistakingly interpreted as a nickname.#as in. like. ✨gunpowder✨.#and since Ekko couldn't call her 'Порох' (russian word for gunpowder) because it doesn't fit grammatically...#we used the closest thing we associated with Jinx lore-wise. so... Бомба it is :D #timebomb #ekkojinx #arcane #league of legends #fun fact! I already saw this nickname being used in rus fics! and it's... cute?
