Riot August and the Jinx buffs
Quoting Riot August, the lead designer of Jinx
From r/leagueofjinx
Full changelist:
P - Get Excited -AS no longer stacks -Jinx's AS uncaps while excited
Q - Switcheroo
-Minigun AS/character lvl:: 0-70% >>> removed -Minigun AS/Rank:: 30-70% >>> 30-130% -Jinx's first attack after switching from rockets to minigun comes out within .4 seconds of swapping (instead of waiting for her full attack timer) -Updated Rocket attack animations to feel snappier.
Context:
“Goal is to make her spike earlier should she manage to get a lead in lane. Ideally, it'll still be difficult to get that lead, but should be far more rewarding when you do (say goodbye to your towers).
At same time reducing her snowball in sloppy teamfights by removing the stacking portion of the passive.
Also, switching from rockets to minigun should feel much smoother (and be objectively more powerful) with the partial reset we're trying. (Ashe Q and Vi E already have this).
No guarantee these ship, even if they do they may need to be accompanied by nerfs in other places. The hope is that we can buff her in a way that creates situations where she is an obvious good pick (Tower taking/objective snowball) while not making her completely busted in terms of winrate”
