How to make Jinx's R unique.

The Space Cowboy··2 votes·897 views

Disclaimer: I'm borrowing this idea from my favorite Starcraft mod: starbattle and its missle frigit.

There are several global ults that are all about the same. Draven Ashe Jinx Ezreal all have slow moving projectiles move in a straight line to their target and a fire and forget release.

Do you guys think this sounds fun: upon chanelling her supermegadeathrocket, a red line is drawn from jinx to the place she clicked, she channels for a few seconds while moving adding the ability to change its angle (it will still intersect where she clicked to channel) then after channeling she releases the rocket and it flies super fast across the final trajectory.

New elements of combat would include 1)Team can see jinxed target for nice combos 2)enemy knows the rocket is coming and can evade it 3) jinx is very vunerable during casting like lux 4) jinx can tp, flash, lantern, or time with her passive for pro re aiming of her r

What do yall think?

jinx's r is already unique because of the fact that it's the only execute with global range (as far as i know)

And i like that. Just brainstorming ways to make landing it a different mechanic. So that if a team coordinates it lands more often, but rarely lands fired at a free moving champ.

yup. The others just fire global and the only other executes areGaren and Chogath which need to be standing next to their target.

Riven ult is execute ability but same deal, standing next to them

I would argue that Cho'gath's ult is not an execute. It does not get stronger against low-health enemies, it's just useful because they might not expect a massive true damage burst.

Sounds like it could be kind of like Varus, but for a different champion.

Not sure it fits Jinx, but a new champion idea could go with it.

Yep it would except you couldn't release it early and it would still be global. Id be okay seeing this as a new marksmens ult.

enemy knows its coming if they have wards up usually.

having jinx channel is not her play style.

hers is fast paced and explosive.

I feel you on that, what if she had a movement buff during channel? It would feel wicked because once released you are getting hit if you are on that red line. Im talking lazer fast post release. I think it would be really rewarding. But I'm fine with her ult really and maybe i just need to play star battle again sometime.

Also another benifit of the enemy seeing the red laser designator is the ability to zone. You can mess up baron timing, break enemy pursuit, or save a tower etc. Especially if she could cancel and get a 50 percent cooldown on it like in starbattle. It's so funny making the enemy scramble away from your line of fire.

Final self bump: if she sets the axis close in front of her she can angle the shot to a completely opposite side of the map, firing it practically blind for a rewarding skill shot.

No.

The entire purpose of the ult is to be fast with no warning, it blows you up before you even know what happened and it't hilarious.

Noted, you could no longer cheapshot recalling champs unless they opened the shop like a chump. On the otherhand you could fake a shot at another area and redirect to the recalling person for a more challenging execute that would not make your feel like you got a free kill for being jinx
