Is there a chance for any Jinx changes in the future?
I have noticed that for some time now, Jinx has been gradually becoming more and more overpowered by the other ADCs. She is suppose to hyper-scale into late game becomming stronger the longer the game goes on for, however she actually is getting lower win rates in those longer games (ranked 15 of 17 ADCs in 40+ minute games). For the sacrifice of a weak early game, she is not really seeing an appropriate return in the mid to late game.
The main issue is that a lot of the other ADCs just deal so much damage in 1 or 2 autos, or have super easy to land hard CC, to allow Jinx a chance to get her damage off. With 0 self peel, she needs another champion's help in protecting her in fights if she is focused. Also, being a primarily AA based champion, she needs to get many autos off for her to have a decent impact in fights. So when 2 or 3 enemy champions build
, her DPS gets cut significantly. Normally this is ok for most ADCs to have to deal with, but Jinx, having already a decent attack speed reduction on her Q (rockets), and primarily gets her damage from crits rather than raw AD, gets countered by this pretty hard.
Jinx is primarily based around high speed objective taking. But honestly, with the current state of the game, every one takes objectives quickly, especially with the mountain drake. In addition, she is one of those ADC champions who do not benefit as much from Lethality. I'm not saying she can't be successful going a lethality based build, but going a more crit based is almost always better for her due to her attack speed based play style. She does not have hard hitting auto crits like Jhin and Cait do. She does not have the consistent long range poke damage like Varus and Ezreal do. And she only has the 1 time slow with her W, so Ashe who has a slow in every auto after the first and a hard CC ult, out preform her. Her E is a one off too. Unlike Cait and Jhin, she cant lock down a lane while always keeping one in reserve just in case she needs it. She has to always use it in the moment.
But likely the bigger issue is that she has to always start fights with only 4 abilities at her disposal. Not having a passive until she gets a Kill/Assist/Objective is a pretty big difference in power when compared to all the other ADCs.
So I ask, is there a chance for any Jinx changes in the future?
