I don't play ADC or anything. but her ultimate got #rekt. Its tank meta and stuff, but this man is insanity. Can someone explain this? \
Super Mega Death Rocket [ R ]
Minimum damage (from point-blank range) decreased from 125/175/225 [ + 0.5 bonus AD ] to 25/35/45 [ + 0.1 bonus AD ]
WOT?
Zarxis5 votesJinx's ultimate was not meant to be used as a point-blank AOE burst skill; it was meant to be a long-ranged execute. With this nerf, Jinx players will be encouraged to use it as it was meant to be used. That, and Jinx's teamfighting will be more about her acting as an ADC and not an massive-AOE-AD-nuker. She deserved a nerf; be glad it was to something on her kit that was excessive and not core to her. She'll still be able to contribute massive AOE burst to fights... but she'll have to do it from far away. If she uses it to finish off an enemy player from far away, her passive will help her reach the fight for further contributing to her team and for cleaning up.
TL;DR: Jinx was never meant to do massive close-range burst; this nerf can be circumvented by skillful play/using her ult properly.

Critmaster Garen2 votesbecause shes broken, because shes almost always using it point blank for burst instead of at long range, because shes broken.
as usual, this isnt fixing what makes dealing with her so problematic. its more like you leave lane, and you lose 2 turrets to her because of how stupidly fast she chews through turrets in minigun mode. and lategame she can sit in rocket mode in teamfights and deals far too much damage at long distance.
Sir ArmaMalum2 votesIT IS A WORK IN PROGRESS POST AT S@20. WAIT FOR THE POST TO FINISH BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING FOR CERTAIN!
Moobeat, from what I understand, uses a text-difference search program in the game files as the PBE updates so he can give number changes and added game file updates while the PBE is down and updating. While this gives a nice bit of early warning, it also means it can miss things like range changes, odd mechanic changes and even cooldowns. So jinx's ult ramp up range (time till increased damage) could have also changes, it's cooldown could have changed, it could have even gotten an additional effect or maybe it is just what it looks like. but we won't know for certain until we wait and S@20 confirms with confidence.
This is the fifth post I've seen about this and I am tired of impatient people trying to be the first with incomplete news.
Flemman4 votesyep, to be fair the change probably miss a 1 in all the number
125/135/145 [ + 0.1 bonus AD ] seems more like an ult damage and still reduce the short range burst a lot

LegitBacon661 votesSurrender at 20 go to pbe update
Bresn1 votesThought this was troll thread for a second.
Next time I play vs Jinx, gg. I'm going all in since she has no ult for a actual fight unless we retreat. LOL, it's just like Pantheon's ult, useless for close combat.
TheDráco1 votesThis nerf doesnt even make any sense. Ive never seen a situation where I thought boy her point blank ult is too strong. I have seen situations where I thought her Q rocket is waaaaay too strong with low mana cost, insane range, and aoe that doesnt need to be there.
Salidfingers1 votesAnyone got any idea who will be the next ADC to hit close to 54% and will be above 20% popularity
GaleWinUnleashed1 votesMINIMUM damage. There's no change if you're using it at a decent range.
