If Riot Wants To Reduce Jinx's Power

King Odin··11 votes·3,688 views

#1. Just make her rockets splash damage scale with level like you did with her attack speed. FULLY STACKED BONUS ATTACK SPEED: 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 / 70% FULL STACKED BONUS SPLASH DAMAGE 70%/80%/90%/100%/110%

#2. Or Just reduce her splash damage to a flat 90% of total damage. http://i.imgur.com/BwP06yI.jpg

If Caitlyn and Ezreal have their abilities reduced depending on how many enemies they hit then it's only fair Jinx get splash damage reduction.

I think the nerf to Jinx's ult awhile back was plenty. I have not had in problems with her. http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4v50zjbRS1qadxlk.gif

She's currently too over tuned still, her nerf to her ult was pretty useless because no one should truly be ulting when they can auto attack, overall it did nothing to curb her power.

Laughing Fish3 votes

She is quite easy to crush once you reach her, which is getting increasingly easy with items such as item 3742. She deals high damage at long range, as she is supposed to. There needs to be champions like her to balance against champs like Darius or Nasus, who just crush all who get too close to them.

Not at all, only way to actually get to her is with assassins like Zed Talon Rengar otherwise she just needs a semi decent front line and she can easily just shoot at whoever gets close enough. With her extreme range, fight turning ult and AOE splash damage it's really up to her to get caught by someone walking up to her. I mean she has snares, a slow and a movespeed steriod upon kill participation. It's not close to as easy as you think.

can't count on both hands the number of times a Jinx has escaped from me with 100 hp just because of her passive, where she gets an assist before I kill her and bolts away

Use your logic and think for a moment... What is more realistic, a projectile losing speed -> momentum and thus do less damage the more targets it hits or an explosion doing less damage to the surroundings depending on how big a crowd is??? It would be more realistic to make the splash zoned, doing more damage to targets closer to the main target rather than do less damage flat... Jinx's splash damage is an EXPLOSION!!! It's supposed to hurt everyone in the blast radius the same and dissipate out of the effective range... But hey, i must be wrong, i am just a lowly gold player...

Unfortunately the realism argument doesn't really work for league since there are countless illogical and unrealistic things. If you want to make her splash damage similar to ravenous hydra then I think that would be work quite well except for the fact that her Blast radius is considerably smaller than that of ravenous hydra and that would mean the out splash damage would do measly damage.

If they make it zoned, they can also widen the radius to make it more functional. What exactly is illogical??? Most things in league have to do with magic and magic itself isn't logical... But apart from that... what else???

I mean, it's illogical that Anivia Corki Galio can't fly over walls, or that they can be damaged/CCed by ground effects, since they're always shown in flight. (Corki can use Valkyrie of course, but he's always in flight so I mean in general).

VasilisGreen1 votes

Well, ye, it's kind of illogical but they are also flying very low and can get hit...

I would actually change it so her rockets crit only the primary target and doing full non-crit damage in splash damage. That way who she targets becomes more of a choice. Then revert the ult nerfs a while back and see how that goes.

I actually don't think shes too strong atm but that's how i would like to see her changed.

King Odin2 votes

That actually sounds really solid, but they would most probably have to increase the base splash damage since this would be a massive nerf to her teamfighting even with the ult revert.

AMYS GRAVE1 votes

That sounds pretty reasonable provided that we want to keep teamfighting as one of her core strengths, which sounds about right.

Don't nerf one of the 3 remaining relevant ADC's. Pls buff others.

Marksman update hopefully does just that!

King Odin3 votes

Hmm I find Ashe Vayne Caitlyn Ezreal Graves Kalista MissFortune Sivir Tristana Vayne KogMaw Mordekaiser all relevant currently. I wouldn't say that there are only three relevant ADC's personally. Yes Jinx Vayne Ashe are currently the strongest three in my opinion but I think that the others don't get as much recognition just because pro's don't play them very much.

what about Twitch ?

King Odin1 votes

I feel like twitch is in Varus Quinn league, don't get me wrong he is really strong with the right comp and team but I feel like he's too niche/situational to really be a relevant adc but that's just my opinion.

IceKingChernobog1 votes

i feel ya, been using twitch since season 3, back when he was a troll pick(but was a really strong adc). Ever since he got his VU which made him eye candy and made players know that he was a powerhouse the nerfs were inevitable. I think the base damage netfs hit him the hardest since it took away alot of his power when it came to early game skirmishes. with the sister hood of meta ( jinx ashe vayne and tristana) the pretty much invalidate his late game because they hit their power spike midgame( or when vayne finishes bork)

But he is an adc according to riot regardless of how poorly designed he is.

Lauchmelder1 votes

He is an ADC, but he is no marksman.

Mordekaiser

Fun fact, he still has the highest average winrate in plat+

Boulderox2 votes

are you ready kids, jinx rockets CANNOT CRIT

FIXED

Ziovi1 votes

Or make it so that the splash damage doesn't crit (only to the main target), if you really want to nerf her.

That 1st option looks better imo, but both are viable options. We need more people in GB to post actual suggestions like you did Instead of the people who just cry because they lost

We have already been over this hundreds of times before. Marksmen are getting overhauled preseason. If for some reason Vayne is still OP by the end of preseason, by all means, complain about her and Jinx until all the dead horses are unrecognizable from all the beatings you give them.

However, we have already gotten our answer on why "3 AD" was all that was done this season. We already know why Jinx hasn't been touched yet. There is no reason to keep whining about this since we have already gotten our answer about ten times already.

How about instead of circlejerking about Vayne and Jinx, you move on to Tahm Kench and Veigar instead? It's far more trendy now. Vayne threads are sooooooo September 2015.

King Odin1 votes

Circle jerking? Do you even know what that means o.0?

Remlap12231 votes

I'd explain it literally to be a smartass, but the mods on the boards are going full Nazi lately, so I'll just say it's hiveminding and sheepishly agreeing with people's opinions for upvotes without taking any consideration into the facts.

Wait until preseason is over. Then complain about Jinx. That is all.

SIayton1 votes

The rocket autos have always been what was OP about her. AOE crits with bonus damage and ridiculous range is a bit excessive.

Athenes Lulu1 votes

Or remove it completely, and she'd still be balanced.

But reasonable enough.
