Has Graves really seen that much play in bot, though? May have been early this season before I came back around April, but I don't recall seeing him much in bot lane this season.

But boy have I seen sooo much of Jhin and Ashe!

Jinx's 10% play rate begs to differ, and she had a 52% winrate BEFORE the buff. This buff was ONLY done to push her skin. Which is like, whatever. But anyone saying Riot did it because Jinx needed help is full of shit

10% pick rate isn't really all that big. And really jinx is one the easiest ADCs to shut down in the game. And with every other ADC becoming better and better early, she's doing worse and worse against experienced players. OFC she's going to do well in low elo. Her basic abilities are all for the most part really easy to use and the hardest part about her kit is her ult.

So basically your argument is that an ADC has a high pick rate because people like her kit and it is easy to play. Yet you choose to ignore that she gives up a lot for that. 53% win rate doesn't really mean anything if it's a bunch of bronzies getting stomped because they don't know how to lock down an immobile ADC.

Lmfao, who the hell quotes Bronze-Gold stats, these are Plat+ games. Also, top picks in the LCS and top picks in SoloQ are two completely different things. Jinx is a SoloQ nightmare, even before the buffs she was pretty good, this is just Riot saying "Hey, Jinx is really good, play her." Unnecessary buffs, for a very arbitrary reason.

The winrates were taken at the plat+ level. And so was the play rate. 10% is huge when compared to most other champions, where 3-5% is normal, and 5-7% is above average.

I honestly don't care if they buff Jinx. I only care that people acted like she needed buffs in the first place, and that's why she got them. That Star Guardian Jinx on the horizon is starting to make the buff make a lot of sense though

I don't see Sivir in your list...

Sivir is always a top pick in pros. In dynamic she's been about average most of the season with Jinx.

Vayne has been bad almost all season.

Vayne has been bad almost all season.

Vayne is never bad, she just drifts in and out of popularity.

This sounds a lot like Jinx to me.

I can feel the salt. It's overflowing from all the noobs who don't understand the game.

Jinx is literally one of the easiest ADC's to lock down and has one of the highest amounts of counterplay to her kit. And you complain about her being bumped into the strong range with like 9 other ADCs.

The only other ADCs as easy to lock down as Jinx include Jhin and Ashe , but they still see high amounts pf play due to have less snowball focused kits. If Jinx is prevented from snowballing, she literally falls off extremely hard and you can just lock her down and kill her with ease.

If you can't play someone like Leona Alistar Thresh Annie Blitzcrank Veigar Velkoz Riven LeeSin Morgana and more capable of getting to her and bursting or locking her down. Then IDK what to say.
