Secret Jinx Nerfs. I'm onto you Riot!

The Space Cowboy··2 votes·523 views

So before they nerfed jinx they altered two things about her with no patch notes.

  1. chomper vision was removed, and then put back on but it now has shorter range. (i used to throw in bushes or over walls as a ward for cool plays and now it only shows enemies if they are trapped)
  2. her rockets used to hit the target if they went out of range or vision after right clicking. Now if they escape before the animation ends the attack is cancelled.

Can i have confirmation from anybody that I'm not crazy? Also what are your thoughts? I think the lost power was fine pre nerf but she could use these little edges in her weak early game in her current state.

Nope dead cereal. Until lvl 9 she struggles agains champs like draven or graves. That is okay honestly she needs a weakness. I'd love to see these bits of hidden power put back into her or maybe a bit more base AS (.1) or AD (5?)

Rito no likey hidden power. Also Graves and Draven are huge lane bullies and will have an advantage in most bot lane matchups.

But I was thinking...

Something we might need is what we had in Season 4 top and jungle: a bar. If your marksman can't lane against (insert champion here) then they aren't viable without a lane swap. Lee Sin was the bar for the jungle and Renekton was the bar for top lane. So who should we compare marksmen to in lane? Ashe? Tristana? Jinx? Graves? Idk I'm just spitballing here.

I'd say graves or sivr. They are balanced imo. Everybody loses to Draven 1v1 and you need your support to step up or him to make trade mistakes.

Yeah I'd probably say Graves.

Ashe is the baseline adc

Well thank you all for the feedback on ADC matchups and her relative power. But does anybody have comments on these champion features being removed without patchnotes?
