I main Jinx

and even I'm starting to realize that Jinx is being played way too often. Like can we buff other adcs instead of nerfing Jinx? (We aren't currently doing it but I feel Riot will eventually give in to the players asking for her nerfs). I would rather see other adcs buffed than see my main nerfed into oblivion and never be able to be played again.

Buff like twitch, and quinn, and such. Don't nerf Jinx but please do something to the other adcs so she isn't in like....75% of my games. (She's not even that op its just shes better than other adcs atm o.o)

You're about 5 months behind on that train. Everyone hates Vayne now. There are some ADC itemization reworks supposedly in the works, but if that flops, they will probably nerf Vayne and Jinx rather than buffs. They did it to Twitch, they did it to Lucian, they did it to Ezreal and Corki. They've been nerfing ADs non-stop since season 2. Best to just enjoy Jinx before it ends.

funny bc a good jinx will stop a vayne in her tracks cause of her e and her range and rockets will kill vayne before she can do anything.

Vayne is just really overtuned right now.

First, that jinx v vayne will depend a lot on the support. Equally skilled supports? Jinx wins. Vayne has the better support? Vayne wins. Vayne has a sustain or disengage support (Janna, Nami, sona, etc...) Lane goes even and vayne outscales.

Also, there are other adcs that can beat jinx if equally skilled. Graves is a common counter.

Vayne's counters are jinx and caitlyn, and vayne can still beat either if her support is good and/or she just farms and doesn't die pre 6.

Also what's particularly annoying about vayne is you can dominate her in Lane and she'll just go farm on her own, and soon enough will be relevant, then will outscale you. Her build is also easy too, much easier to go ls>vamp>bilgewater than to buy a BF sword.

I should mention i agree with the main post though, buff other adcs, stop nerfing whoever is on top. Adcs as a whole are so weak right now, they're only strong if they've got way more gold than anyone else (which, hello, applies to every class).

Buff quinn, varus, MF, twitch for starters. Then maybe do a wave 2 of buffs - alongside either a slight nerf to vayne or buff to caitlyn (true counter).
