Upcoming Marksmen Changes - Vayne & Jinx nerfs?

Wyrdfell··1 votes·617 views

As an ADC main I'm extremely happy that some flavor is being added to some not-so-popular marksmen. Most of the reworks look great, and I can't wait for pre-season to start. That being said, I also hope to see Jinx and Vayne nerfed alongside the reworks. They've been the bullies of the botlane for far too long, and with these reworks I don't want to still see them come out on top. I enjoy playing them both, but they're so overpowered compared to other marksmen it's pretty ridiculous. They would be pretty easy nerfs without sending them into the ground, and it would make botlane a bit more enjoyable to not have to worry about playing against a Jinx or Vayne.

Just my personal opinion however, I'm open to other insight.

Silver Bolts (W): Base damage of 20/30/40/50/60 removed % of max health damage increased to 6/7.5/9/10.5/12% from 4/5/6/7/8% New minimum damage vs all targets added - 40/60/80/100/120

Jinx:

Get Excited (P) Duration increased to 6 seconds from 4 seconds Can now chain together and stack, increasing TOTAL ATTACK SPEED by 15% per stack (movement speed does not stack)

Switcheroo (Q) Jinx now has -15% attack speed while using rocket launcher

They took 3 AD off her base attack damage, yet she still deals true damage and % health damage. And Jinx hasn't been touched..

I edited the nerfs in. You know, surrender at 20 records all of the upcoming changes? There's quite a lot of them.

TL;DR

I'm excited for the marksmen changes, and I hope to see Jinx and Vayne nerfed to balance out the botlane where ADC's are concerned.

Vayne will always be played a lot, she always has even when really really weak.
