One of the oldest and most curious inside jokes in League of Legends might explain why Jax pursues a career as a fisherman in an alternate reality.

In a thread posted to the League subreddit earlier this week, players collectively came to the conclusion as to why Jax has a talent for fishing, and why the Angler Jax skin even exists. It doesn't really make sense at first glance why Jax would focus on fishing, but the original poster of the Reddit thread, a user named DerFuro, pointed to one of the champion's most iconic quotes as the reason why.
Jax's most famous utterance in League is "imagine if I had a real weapon", a reference to the fact that he purposefully hampers his own abilities by fighting with a lamppost. If he had used a "real weapon", he would simply be too powerful. But what if he had used a "reel weapon"?
In the Angler Jax skin, he is equipped with a fishing rod, which is a reference to the famous voiceline. The skin has been in the game since June 2010, and many League players (including myself) are only just finding out about it.
