how to solve the jinx problem

Budupops·Oct 14, 2015·1 votes·665 views

so now jinx is op because of too safe cus 700 range on a 3600dmg auto.

My solution:

Convert rockets to true dmg but lower the range to 650.

As a Jinx main, I don't think I'd ever lose another game... (well, I would, because she'd be banned every game).

True damage on my AOE autos from the same range as Caitlyn? WOW. I'm going to wreck everyone, and I'm also building Runaan's instead of LW now because the armor pen is useless, I'm going to permanently use rockets at the new attack speed, and the extra bolts will also splash resulting in loads of splashing true damage everywhere.

Thing is if I stay in rocket stance I don't get the AS boost from minigun. AS doesn't only decrease the time between your attacks, it also speeds up the attack animation. That's really important for kiting. Jinx has no dash or other ability to kite, so having attack speed is actually pretty important.

I was thinking along the same lines though: item 3031 item 3085 item 3046 item 3508 item 3072 item 3006

who needs a defensive item with 30% lifesteal?

actually i don't think LS would work any more, as it is true damage now not physical. Interesting thought. also, you wont need to be kiting any one doing 1500+ AoE true damage lol.

Hmm? I dropped LW, that was the point of the original post (free item slot since I have true damage).

You still need to kite. There are plenty of champions that can deny a ranged champion doing 1000 AOE true damage autos. You ain't shooting if you're cc'd, and you're squishy still. Don't underestimate assassins blowing you up and tanks getting on you and CC being chained.

Not that it'd matter hugely, if this were to happen I think any build that dropped LW for Essence Reaver and just stood in rocket stance all game would have over a 90% win rate. It'd be broken.

LS = Life Steal sry for the confusion on that, don't think life steal will proc off of the true damage.

Oooh I see. Interesting, didn't think of that. Does Lifesteal only apply to physical damage? I'm fairly certain lifesteal applies to any auto attacks, while spell-vamp applies to any abilities. Not sure which applies to on-hit effects (probably spell vamp) but that only affects the Runaan's part of the build, as if rockets were changed to true damage they'd still be auto attacks.

My apologies, I saw LW for some reason...

LS only applies to Physical-on-hit damage.
