Friendly reminder that jinx is still very freelo

i went up against jinx, stomp her in lane, ahead of her by like 2 levels constantly. Teamfight happens. PENTAKILL. All because one member was low. She only had 1 full item. Like ffs. This is why champions like sivir dont get played. They dont have that boosted steroid late game like vayne and jinx does. "Here at riot we are going to nerf sivir's damage, but yet buff vayne and give jinx another buff: yay balance. Ofc she wont get nerfed though, she is another one of riot's favorite champions. She outshines so many adcs it is actually flabbergasting tbh

Friendly reminder that you're also Bronze 3 and you might not be playing with the most ideal teammates.

Also another friendly reminder, is that there's a possibility he was a smurf.

But you crushed her in lane, so lets just stick with friendly reminder #1

I understand that im b3 so i did not rule that out, but she has always been a prime pick even in pro play ..

I mean.. I don't think she's been recently a meta pick even in the pro scene.

I'm not sure though, I don't really follow the pro scene since I haven't taken the game very seriously, I don't think I remember seeing her though the last times I peaked into pro tournament streams.

And usually things work in pro play, that don't necessarily correlate to solo q, like Ashe / Sivir might be S tier in LCS or highly prioritized, but not as so in solo.

Because of how coordinated teams can be in a pro team setting, compared to SOLO q.

Also there are way better picks right now than Jinx.

I'm ADC main in diamond atm, I mean not many pick her, but that doesn't mean she's not great thats not what I'm saying..

Her range is very overwhelming in a low elo environment, coupled with her empowered crits ( since fish bones gives 10% increased in damage )

So I can see why you're claiming she's a monster, because she just turns on Q past level 9 to auto away and she has the longest range in the ADC category.

All I'm saying is that... If you pitted a Vayne or Twitch against a Jinx who couldn't lane as well against the other, you would find that she dies quite easily to them in a team fight. Vayne's IE + Shiv combo, plus her passive ability to just chase Jinx down to the ends. Twitch's R range which rivals Jinx's, there's no where she can get close without getting blown up.

I wouldn't mock up Jinx as requiring a nerf and being god tier based off of experiences in a specific elo, in this case yours, which is Bronze.

I think she's good yeah, but still there are other better picks out there than her, I wouldn't call her PRIME for freelo. You haven't played against Twitch yet have you? lol or at least a good one

There's a reason if you go to pro players, you don't see them picking Jinx in their stats, it's Ez, Twitch, Jhin, Cait right now.

But in the end, I can still see where you're coming from, I can imagine her being freelo too in that skill rating.

Yeah, she definitely needed them and she still outclasses the majority of adcs anyway [zombie-brand-facepalm] Kalista Sivir Corki arent exactly desirable adcs

Jinx is in the same boat as cait, very generalist and safe, but unlike cait, she lacks mobility and damage spikes, she pretty much only relies on auto attack and raw damage.

If you really think her passive is what drives her over the edge, than you need might need to learn to play around her better.

Just because you crush her in lane doesnt mean she's a minion now, if you dont focus ANY adc, they will wittle down your team.
