On Regards of Jinx's Zap Critting on the PBE

I know for a fact that it was used for testing for something unrelated to Jinx but you guys said it may come back to the PBE at some point to actually consider giving it to Jinx. Not that she really needs it or anything I play fine with her all the time. I just thought it would be interesting and would spice things up and if she is in fact in need of a buff this would be a fun one. The numbers on the PBE were kinda ridiculous with the straight up one shotting under leveled squishies and taking armor pen runes but if the numbers are tweaked or made to be a reduce crit I think it could be a balanced part of her kit.

If critting is an Issue maybe an AP scaling on Zap? Off builds like AP jinx would be fun to use and I would be interested in trying it.

Yeah, I feel like it could be fine if they lowered its base damage and allowed it to crit. Though it was hilarious watching Jinx one shot people in the PBE.

Though I think a buff she could use to help her in the laning phase would be to increase Fishbones' starting range and increase the attack speed gained from Pow Pow.

Honestly, I'd rather they just make it scale with crit (ala xayah e). That way with some tuning it wouldn't outright one-shot like it was on the pbe, but it would probably be more usable late game.
