I don't get it after season 6 Jinx started going down on teir lists and people are so disappointed that they ruined Jinx, i still absolutely destroy as Jinx almost every game. SHE OP! Whats going on? Why people lie to me.
Verxint31 votesShe spent so long in a state where she was a lane bully that also snowballed into a hypercarry by 20 minutes if she got a single kill they don't know how to play her when she's balanced.
They're just upset they can't feed all lane phase and then come back off two kills
Ghost BC2 votesProbably my elo, they carry games out so long and im almost never not fed in lane cause Jinx is the only champ i feel i've truly mastered mechanics wise. I haven't lost lane in so long as Jinx. (Have to thank my great support Braum too tho ;) ) [slayer-jinx-wink]
Ghost BC5 votesAnd I don't care where she is in the meta cause she is so fuuun. Just curious why people so sad.
Verxint5 votesI told you, they're sad because they weren't good at her but she snowballed so hard it didn't matter.
Now she doesn't snowball as hard and other ADCS have better one and two item spikes meaning she actually has to play like a lategame carry.
Ghost BC4 votesSo now you actually have to be a decent player to be good at her, I suppose.
Verxint4 votesYep. It happens a lot when a champ spends a long time being strong and then gets nerfed or the meta shifts around it. People in this community are criminally bad at adapting. People were saying Graves was ruined when the rework first came out, now look what we have.
Vistha Kai1 votesDo you blame them?
It's easier when a champion starts weak and gets buffs later, than the other way around. Unless you had a long break playing a champion, then it doesn't really matter.
Honestly, that's true for everything in life. If you start poor and earn yourself a fortune, you will most likely be better at maintaining it. If you start rich and lose it, you are fucked, because you have no idea how to live a poor man's life.
Troll for Trump1 votesShe doesn't snowball that hard. Not as much as Vayne, Graves, Fiora, Darius etc. YasuoRiven Lee etc. Actually everything is really snowbally. She's above average in snowball strength, but nothing insane..
Bottom Laner7 votes
is sleeper OP if u know what ur doing tho. Don't let Rito know about the freelo. a completely trash bot lane. Horrible winrates. She's ruined. GG
Ghost BC6 votesOops, i mean Jinx sucks pls buff rito ty.
Slamurai Jack7 votesBecause she's "ruined" the same way Sejuani and Sion are "ruined", in that she was blatantly OP for months and then finally nerfed into a balanced state. Unfortunately, people were so used to them being OP that being balanced suddenly makes them feel weak.
The Bíg Ticket5 votesShe was freelo before..now she is just strong.
MunchCrunchLunch3 votesjinx is the strongest adc in the game on average. shes really good in any team.
Ghost BC1 votesTRUE THAT! I love you, Jinx is the best! Forever Fear Jinx.
HotChilly3 votesShe was in the top 2-3 adc's for a loooong time. She is now taking a break while other marksmen get the spotlight, aka Lucian amd Kalista for now. It is just the FotM rotation, altho riot lets some champions get a lot more time being op, it was more like Flavor of the Year for Jinx haha. She will be back to being a worthy pick eventually, prob like a year or two. And of course play whatever u want if u think it is fun, its all pretty close to balanced, but there will always be top tier picks
IceKingChernobog3 votesIDK, the meta now favors Bursty caster type ADCs like Graves(NERF HIM), Lucian, and MF and 2 out of the 3 counter the fuck outta her. Not the help that her preseason changes kinda nerfed her instead of helping her
ChaosBlaze2 votesI'm with you ILJ, I also still destroy with Jinx nearly every game. I've got a 15-5 record with her in ranked so far this season. I think it has to do with other adcs being buffed while leaving Jinx virtually untouched.
Ghost BC1 votesYou just gotta know her mechanics! where to position! When to ult! Laning is just stupid ez with her rocket poke! i complain when i die 2 times in one game as her. Just so OP and so much fun!
ChaosBlaze1 votesDefinitely a lot of fun. And the other-side-of-the-field Mega Rocket kill is sooo rewarding.
iamleburk1 votesI think we people call Jinx trash they mean competitively or at least at high elo. At low elo everything is viable it seems lol.
Critmaster Garen2 votesjinx is the irelia of adc. has something of everything in her kit, and never really does bad. at least like irelia used to be.
Hayaishi22 votesBecause now she isn't overpowered and when you get destroyed you stay destroyed as it should be.
Von Revanchist2 votes Rockets do entirely too much damage in lane phase and she still has mana after rocket spam to spam her zapper and traps its broke
Bisaknosp2 votesi think the 15% attsp reduction on her q is just dumb and without it she would be in a better spot
Only Play Darius2 votesHer early game is bad and this meta games end before she can scale up. Ezreal is strong and will poke the shit out of her and blink over her chompers. Zed is her worst nightmare and he got buffed. She gets destroyed in ganks and fewer wards means she can't avoid them. Her rockets fire rate got adjusted and now are worse early game. Tahm has godlike synergy with her but he got nerfed and was banned every game anyway. She feels fine right now in low elo but thats because people dont know how to bully her (of course you're a hardcore Jinx main so your experience is better than many non-ADC mains who just play her because she is a safe pick and easy). Might as well play Vayne who at least can safely solo farm lane while her support roams mid and gets the game snowballed.
Jinx is my favorite ADC but for now I just pick Quinn, stronger early game, fast roams to snowball games, resistant to assassination, can take care of herself and doesn't need to be babysat all game.
stealthfox942 votesIDK but her early game seems pretty garbage now. She's still capable of carrying though.
Marshbouy1 votesSame. I think it's cause she didn't get an update like other marksmans but her playstyle of being able to push down turrets like a god is still glorious
The Deckowner1 votesi think its because of the IE nerf, people found that they need to build more dmg and crit instead of murdering people with 1 IE no attackspeed item.
ad casters got very strong with essence reaver so many jinx who doesnt know how to position in my elo dropped her because early game burst is much weaker.
Ghost BC3 votesI build IE and Runaans 2nd item ALWAYS. Probably not very smart but it works for me and sooo un. But yeah I didnt realize ie got nerfed.
XxxLumberJackxxX1 votesIMO she's just too reliant on teammates. Her passive isn't enough mobility right now. If I'm jungling and I see a jinx it's basically a free game as long as my bot lane doesn't suicide into her before i get there
Athenes Lulu1 votesWait, who said that? Terrible players?
Because she is still completely fine in her current state, sheep just fled to other lane bully options while Jinx remains untouched.
WTFMatee1 votesi for some reason read this as ruined Jax
Lugg1 votesAnyone who says Jinx is weak or underpowered has no clue.
Mael bro1 votesIf by being ruined a champions falls to a solid 50% win rate, that just speaks how massively overpowered she used to be. Back before her attack speed scalling changes, she was a massive lane bully with an ability to be a hypercarry. Jinx was so goddamn faceroll for years. Jinx players are just salty that they can no longer one shot entire teams only with an 
l PopstarAhri l1 votesHer passive rework-tweak sucks ballz, and Essence Reaver buffs/Marksman reworks=Reign of Miss Fortune, Lucian, Corki and Ezrael in yolo queue. For professional play, not sure what they play, probably the same with the addition of Kalista and Tristana I guess.
warpenguin5551 votesBecause not picked in almost every game= trash or something stupid like that
Skias1 votesIve never really understood the love for Jinx. Props to you for enjoying her, ive just always felt her kit was pretty straight forward and her personality seemed like harlequin. Eh, different strokes for different folks.
Personality wise, I wish Varus' kit better represented a consumed ex hunter than it does.
LordKentravyon1 votesI enjoy Jinx but ya I never got the hype for her either. Sure she's fun and the minigun / rockets thing is pretty unique. But I feel her fanbase has been HUGE since release.
And good lord I still have nightmares about the Jinx release... The hype was scarry. Game was unplayable for the better part of the month because you literally couldn't get into a game. Even more dodges than we see now in the new champ select because it "GG YOU INSTALOCKED JINX FASTER THEN ME I'M DODGING NOW"

Yeah, I felt the same way about Lee Sin. I just don't get the huge fanbase. I get Riven. She's league's Cloud/Lightning so of course shes popular. Jinx, Lee Sin I don't get. But what do I know? I think Yasuo character wise is one of my favorites.
darkmatchwaldo1 votesBecause the rest of the ADC's no longer suck. In season 5 
dominated because pretty much every other AD carry was practically useless.
LordKentravyon1 votesUnfortunately a large portion of the player base is made up of sheep that mindlessly follow whats flavor of the month. Anything else is "ruined, unviable, trash etc..."
