How many people are going to post this? The Jinx is heavily ahead of all the enemies in not only gold and items, but exp as well (5 lvls on one of the kills).

The video is not a good reference point.

I mean in some clips he is pretty even and still crits for like 1.6k with 300 ad lol.

They're all squishies. Jinx always did lots of damage, this new W version might be overtuned (they always do crazy low or high numbers on the first days of a cycle), but it's nothing special. She usually doesn't even use it during fights due to the cast time, at least now they're looking into not making it a trap to press W sometimes.

Sure but without a crit those 1.6k wouldve been ~600 dmg. I like how its at least a spell that can be kind of easily dodged, but.. idk, the damage still seems pretty high + its more RNG.

Isn't that equivalent to the 2+ point-click AoE rockets she could have fired during the cast time? I do agree the tuning is off; they more than likely know it too. They've recently been starting Pbe patches with crazy values for buffs/nerfs to make it easier to read the effect of the changes.

Yeah but it also has almost triple - double the range of a rocket depending on her Q rank + a heavy slow (up to 70%) that doesnt decay for 2 seconds.

No Jinx in their right mind (pun intended) is going to max W over Q. By the time she has max rank Q people have rank 2 boots and mercs/swifties etc. Q is Jinx. The cast time on W (though obviously needed) still makes it worse to use than chompers in most cases.

Now that I think about it, they probably added this to buff her chance of proccing her passive if someone barely gets away.

Well that might change with this buff tho. Cooldown almost halves, base damage increases by 50 and slow by 10% every rank.

Remember that she was ahead in most all clips, AND she said she ran lethality runes as well, so her items are deceptive

LostFr0stMar 23, 20171 votes

LOL Yeah, no way all that ships :P We both know that. Likely just baiting people into maxing it early so it gets tested before the Pbe game snowballs.

this just makes her late game even more godly though

There is a differnce between late game and an ability meant to poke and for utility to be near one shotting or one shotting the other ADC.

LostFr0stMar 23, 20171 votes

Unless she has a solid frontline (which she has always needed) she won't go anywhere. All this does is make it maybe somewhat worth pressing W and self-ccing with the cast time.

I think people are forgetting that a lot has changed with AD itemization since her reign in S4 and S5. The gap is not as huge as it used to be between her and the other ADs.
