When will Riot finally nerf Jinx?

Cloud273·Nov 17, 2014·3 votes·786 views

Tristana never needed nerfs, Lucian doesn't need nerfs, and Vayne doesn't need nerfs. The only adc who truly deserves nerfs is Jinx. Why? Well, most of her kit is fine as is, but fishbones is pretty broken. When this ability is maxed out she has more range than Caitlyn (supposedly the best when it comes to range). This ability can also AOE CRIT (let that sink into your head for a minute) which is completey insane for any champion. Crit alone is a toxic mechanic for this game but AOE crits are just ridiculous. I'm not even going to talk about the rest of her kit. Just nerf fishbones please.

Cause ya know, every season has to have some mechanic deemed toxic by everyone, why shouldn't a foundational stat in the game have it's turn.

I suppose next season it will be AP.

It's ALWAYS been toxic. This isn't a season 4/5 thing.

To be fair, I've always hated it because of its unreliability, but maybe I've just played too many RTS games :P

The sad part is, as unreliable as it is, it's the core concept for a whole lane in this game. And lets face it, people insist on gutting anything they don't like. Never mind that it can be adjusted to be reliable and fair, people just want it gone so their champ is suddenly king of the rift.

I've only noticed people bitching about how horribly OP crits are recently, and I've frequented the Boards and the old forums ever since I joined in S3.

I'm sure jinx will get a nerf as soon as she needs one, which probably won't be ever considering she probably won't get buffed either.

It's pretty easy to make skills look better than they are in a vaccum.

There's a champion in this game with a 12 sec CD, 1550 range gap closer. And it doesn't even cost mana! And a few champions can instantly deal 700+ true damage with only 1 damage item!

Hey, that was one of the best LoL videos I've seen, right up there with A Twist of Fate and A New Dawn. That song is so epic :D

Stopped reading right there. Keep whining OP, Jinx was OP on release but so has every other champ that was released this season besides Vel'Koz. She was heavily nerfed to keep her from attaining Lucian levels of power. She's been pretty much fine ever since then.

"Tristana never needed nerfs"

Done, downvoting it now.

OP played as Rammus and got trashed by their Jinx because he didn't build any armor. Not even kidding. He went 2/7/6, while their Jinx went 6/3/7. OMG SO OP PLOX NERF RITO.
