RITO Buff Jinx Please

Ok, let's be honest, Jinx is in desperate needs of buffs. There's just nothing special about her that another ADC can't do better. We all know Jinx as the team-fighting mid to late game long-range rocket tossing monster who just wants to get excited. Sadly, ADs such as Kog-Maw, Caitlyn, Sivir (those richochets tho), (who's laning is also fantastic), or even Tristana fit the role better, with either much more damage or gap-closers or tons of utility with speed or complete zone control. Jinx right now is just... meh, she doesn't have a strong laning phase, she has the problem of no self-self peel, making her teamfight obviously weak if she just gets blown up, she's not a team you want to build around when you could have most other picks. What's really sad though is, she's not even played that often (correct me if I'm wrong I haven't gotten any actual stats), but I don't think I've seen a Jinx in any one of my ranked games this season, and even in normals not often. I'm D5 currently, but even in lower elos my friends hardly see it. Now, I hardly play Jinx, you could look at my history so I'm not biased or anything, I just really think this should be addressed. One thing I may suggest is putting chompers on a reload system, increasing ad ratios, etc. Her passive increasing her total attack speed indefinitely still is nothing special, Jinx almost never reaches 2.5 attack speed anyway, even with POW-POW, with the items she usually buys. Jinx usually only ever goes 2 AS items anyway (RFC, Runaan's, SS [PD is just a nono on Jinx]), going more takes away other essentials (IE, BT, MS, Boots, etc.). One little thing I have in my head, rather than the usual simplistic buff, would be adding a whole new mechanic to her passive and Switcheroo! in which if Jinx gets excited she will CONTINUE to stack attack speed WITH FISHBONES, but at half the speed increase as POW-POW. Thoughts anyone? Jinx just needs a little love from Rito right now, I think everyone could agree on this.

Are you drunk? High? Or both?

She didn't get anything from the Marksman update but I fear buffs would bring her over the line that makes her into a hypercarry monster again.

I'll upvote cause I see where you're coming from.

Out of curiosity, I mean, I'd really like to know what she offers that makes her unique or viable in any sense. She's just too weak right now, my original comments still stand.

No. No she does not. http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-history/NA1/45096153 My only game I was not a huge component to my teams win, I got completely shit on by someone who was way better than me. Jinx's power spike with JUST IE and Runaan's is absolutely absurd.

Jinx Tristana and Draven are the ones who fell off really hard due to the marksman update. All 3 of them deserve buffs.

I don't feel like she needs buffs. I still do pretty well with her, early game is just her weak point now as opposed to before the nerfs. And Caitlyn does not really do Jinx's job, better, it is the other way around. Honestly Caitlyn could use the help, she is in a weird spot, balance and gameplay-wise. Caitlyn is almost outclassed by pretty much every other ADC because they can bring more to the table, Caitlyn only has her auto range going for her and several ADC's end up out ranging her by mid game or flat out counter her.
