Hashtag Thresh··2 votes·558 views

Hello, summoners. I need a tad bit of help with my summoners. My kinky self is wanting to try some wierd stuff and i was wondering if attack speed reds armor yellows attack speed glyphs and lifesteal quints can work effectively on jinx if not can you please tell me what i should run.

cool thing about JInx, hardly needs her AS as her q gives her a good ramp. you can probably vouch for the lifesteal and using warlords mastery at same time though. personally if youre going for off meta id go just pure damage with lifesteal quints. but put a little bit more of a rush on your first AS item.. or maybe just the usual BF back then go for greaves or something. I am not the best theory crafter in the world here but I feel it can work if you have a support that can help peel enough to not be taken advantage of your early AS loss. or in your runes case, one that is a hard initiate to try to use your BF back as a spike for your high base AS/sustain you vouched for.

It can work. I suggest going Fervor in your mastery page. Last hitting in the early stages of the game will be a tad bit harder due to lack of AD.

Nothing fancy

are you confident about winning lane and winning it hard?

X9 ad reds x9 armor yellows x9 attack speed blues x3 attack speed browns

Are you afraid of the mages on the enemy team and dont wanna get poked out?

X9 ad reds x9 armor yellows x9 magic resist blues x2 attack speed browns x1 life steal brown

(the life steal can be replaced with attack speed)

Almost every ad carry goes these two pages unless they have some weird mechanic that demands other wise, examples being graves and jhin.

You almost never take AD browns on a marksman because it makes last hitting harder, and isn't good for trading for it makes it harder to kite/auto animation cancel

The rune setup you're describing could help you rev Jinx up a little quicker early on and make for better trading, but you'll suffer if the enemy lane or jungler has magic damage, which is most often the case. More generally, Jinx tends to make better use of AD early on than attack speed, and if you swap out your AS reds for AD marks, you'll have a much better time poking, trading and last-hitting. Attack speed elsewhere is fine, but only swap out MR for lifesteal if you're very confident in not having to deal with any significant magic damage.
