Why does Jinx have double the amount of slow on her Zapp

DiamondStef··1 votes·828 views

That Karma has on her Q. Karma is a support, she is SUPPOSED to be able to slow, most other ADC's don't have a slow tacked on to an AD based skillshot that already does massive damage because it scales so well. Not to mention that Karma's Q is half the length... Oh and what about Velkoz's Q... STILL doesn't have the same level of slow that Jinx has.

I wish Riot would just come out and say they care more about AD champs then they do about AP because recently, it seems that way with their current balance philosophy. AD's get most of the cool stuff, new items and most marksmans had buffs that made them utterly rediculous but yeah... punish the players that actually need skill to play the game Riot... Great idea.

Whereas most ADC's can just walk up to a target and spam auto-attacks. SKILLZ

Karma also has: A team-wide shield that speeds up An AoE on her slow with strong damage A tether that roots a target

Jinx has Traps that root someone who walks into them A single target slow with good damage And a lot of other damage

This is why you don't compare two individual abilities in a vaccum.

Jinx slow is a problem ?

Ashe cough Caitlyn also give her a free headshot Draven hard cc displacement Jhin root for 1.75 sec from accross the world if any allies or him self touched you Quinn her stupid Q shes not the only adc with a long range cc.........

The thing about Jinx is that, yes, she has cc, but she also has no escape other than killing someone or taking a tower. Her Zap is one of her only options when things get dicey. That and flame chompers, but we all know which is more reliable.

LIES...

She has her passive and she is the ONLY champ in the GAME that can proc it off tower kills, assists AND kills. Most normal champs have to get kills to proc their passive like Katarina.

Kat's passive reset doesn't give her an escape, it gives her serious combo damage. I guess it resets shunpo but you know that's not what she's going to use it for.

Also, Jinx's passive is just a short speed boost; it doesn't make her immune to CC.

Did we also mention how thin and precise this skillshot is? Because I'm pretty sure it's easier to land most other slows in the game. There are only a few that I could think would be more difficult. It's got a wind up, clear range indicator, and you have ample time to dodge it.

Ziggs can proc his passive on towers, kills, assist. Jhin can proc his passive on towers, kills, assists. Xerath is in the same boat. You're being too narrow in your comparison.

Jinx's passive is designed to make her reckless. She wants to stay for two more attacks on the tower so she can speed away. Take advantage of that reckless nature.

As for Zap, it can only slow one target. Last I checked Karma had a nice way to make her slow AoE.

Uhhh.... You realize jinx w is super easy to dodge, right? And your argument is the same as me whining that amumu's w does more damage than shyvanna w.

It's delusional

Karma's Q can slow multiple people, has higher base damage (that can again hit multiple people) when not mantra. When R'd, which she can do at level 1, the slow is 50%, can again hit multiple targets, and does even more (scaling) damage (that can again hit multiple people). After a short delay it also then does even more scaling damage (that can again hit multiple people). Get fully hit by her empowered Q at level 1 and that is 155 + 150% AP damage versus 10 + 140% AD for Jinx W at level one... Her Q also uses a lower % of her mana pool while she also has higher mana regen.

Vel's Q slows at all ranks the same amount as Jinx's max rank Zap (70%), so I don't know what you are talking about there. Confused by the fact that it decays? His Q can also hit a max of 3 targets versus 1 and has higher base damage as well.

You can't just compare two skills because they both have slows...

Karma doesn't have higher base damage at all, Jinx's scales much better.

Karma's Q base damage 80/125/170/215/260 (not including damage if mantra) Jinx's W base damage: 10/60/110/210.

Most Karmas also max Q first, while many Jinxs max their W second.
