Its time to give some buffs to jinx

RexSaur·Jan 30, 2017·5 votes·940 views

Now with lethality being good again shes down the gutter, she loses lane to basically every ad in the game that is played nowdays and becomes a free kill to about any top tier top/jungle champion who can dive her under her turret.

Please buff her, shes a super fun champion to play as and is super iconic, but it just sucks to feel gimped because i picked jinx instead of jhin mf ashe varus, all those are champs not only destroy her in lane but are also pretty much as good as her late game.

How about no. She's already to AOE crit an entire team for full crit damage.

Yeah cause so many games get to the point where jinx can have more than 4 or 5 items right?

Reaver is awful on jinx, jinx doesnt use CDR or lethality well, thats why shes doing poorly now, her early game is also too shit.

Why would you ever build ER on jinx?

A Vel Koz MainJan 31, 20171 votes

Well ill tell you! Runaan's procs her missile explosion 3 times, if all 3 hit in the same radius of someone, they get damaged 3 times with all 3 being crits. That's a TON of mana back to keep the rockets up for however long you want. Essence Reaver gets you around 30% CDR, build a phantom dance/deaths dance/infinity edge and something else after that.

Also have you guys tried skipping out on boots? I find myself not buying them anymore on anyone with movement speed bonuses, adc's in particular mainly because you get a ton of move speed % bonuses off items that it makes up for not having the boots.

They make defensive items for a reason boiz

Jinx has virtually no use for CDR, and running out of mana for rockets late game is a non issue. And skipping out on boots on champions that rely on kiting and positioning sounds like just as bad of an idea. some combination of item 3085 item 3006 item 3031 item 3046 item 3094 item 3036 item 3033 item 3072 item 3156 item 3139 will most likely always be the build for jinx Are you the guy that posted a thread a while ago about how you couldn't carry games in low elo with Jinx, but never built boots and always built ER?

I've never seen as many escapes as I have had on Jinx from other jinx players, I've never seen as many sniping rockets as I have on Jinx, the phantom dancer/runaan's combo more than makes up for the lack of boots, while also providing it's own defense, rapid fire cannon is pointless imo because that extra range isn't going to be worthwhile in a game where everyone is on top of you right away, my builds vary but each one includes a Last Whisper, that's a no brainer. The people who complain about mages being overpowered clearly can't dodge, or out trade. There is more than enough room in my builds to sell off things at each stage of the game and still be viable. Saying Jinx has no use for cdr is a bad statement as it allows more W's, more E snares, more rocket snipes and to be honest, it's free cdr with damage and utility. To me, boots were useful when they had enchantments because it was good to have them, now it's just a burst of speed that you can get anyway by building damage now. Most of my games where I'm negative are games where I have gotten boots.

CDR is never free, you pay for the stat and jinx is better paying for other stats, compare ER for IE, ER you gain cdr and mana but you lose a huge chunk of damage from the IE passive, and jinx does so little with cdr that its not worth it.

Multiple rockets explosions can only hit the same target once, otherwise she would be able to 1 shot ppl.

I think jinx suffers from the same issues of many champions. She has a pretty linear kit. The only way riot goes about buffing her is by upping her numbers (base stats) and that can be pretty overbearing Mordekaiser . If you really want to play her, you need to realize that she has to snowball. Talk with your teammates to get you going early, or you won't accomplish much until 5-6 items.
