alongside with vayne, but i can agree that it's because of the Tank meta, the Anti-Tanks ADC is supposed to shine

but why is jinx played that much? honesly, every 2 games i see a jinx, wether it's on my side, or enemy's side

and don't get me started on thresh, for the love of god, i'm sick and Tired of seeing those 2, a Flay into her chompers, and then you Flash, and then it happens, thresh Throws his Q without looking at the Direction he's aiming At

not knowing where thresh is aiming is just Stupid, alot of Game changing skillshots, such as Blitzcranks' Hook and Nautilus' show the Direction they're Hooking with, but not thresh, this is what Frustrates me so much

why is everyone playing jinx this much!?

And that is why I will always hate Jinx.

She melts turrets and in a tank meta where a tank can just tank tower while she kills it is powerful.

hyper carries are popular in YoloQ. Because no one in YoloQ knows how to close out a game Quickly.

But why jinx in particular? Keep in mind that Jinx is actually fun to play with two different Auto Attacks, a Global Execute, and a crazy personalty.

Conversely, I have yet to pick up Caitlynn, Not because I think she's UP, But because I thinks she's boring.

Her music video + Being an ADC + Being a hyper carry + Simple to play

Jinx is just disgustingly easy to play, possibly the easiest hypercarry in the game. She also has massive snowballing potential, and a fairly strong early-mid game.

There's basically no reason not to play Jinx, especially since her primary weakness (immobility) is mitigated a lot by her above average CC and her stupid passive

Well yeah, guns/insanity and monster hunter/night, it's catering to all those 14 year olds. Not to mention they're top tier and pretty fun.

Ultra long range with aoe autoattacks Super strong AS steroid Longrange slow+ vision Root and her ult.... dont forget the fact if you play tank and jinx gets a random kill/assist you are dead.

I think one reason Jinx gets played so much is that she is quite the interesting character. Her fun personality, when combined with her relative ease of play and her hypercarry status (people love when they can absolutely delete people when they get far enough ahead), leads to her being played a lot.
