My idea for a possible Jinx rework.
In the modern days of every new ADC having some kind of great movement/dash/(reliant) stun or trap/etc, slower/older ADCs just seem to be getting outshined. Jinx was the whole reason i ever even got into LoL, i never really played it until a friend showed me her music video, i've branched out since, but have always fallen back onto Jinx as sorta my pocket pick/Main (for better or worse) and i've noticed somethings about her that i think could be reworked and made better. Granted, if Riot reworked Jinx, they would probably give her a complete makeover, which i dont think i'd like, because her character/personality is perfect, but if they would leave that alone and just touch on her abilities, it would be amazing. anyway, here is my idea of a 'perfect" Jinx Kit
P: Basically what it is right now (8.10) Movement speed and attack speed on Kills/Assist/Tower takedowns, bonus passive attack speed stacks, and attack speed cap removed while passive active (you all know her passive)
Q: Same as it is now no change
W: switched to a point and click ability, able to collide with minions or champs that get in the way, but for the most part able to "track" enemies and guarenteed hit them if nothing gets in the way. her W is basically a weaker and shorter Jhin/Kai'sa W, so why not give it something that makes it its own? the shorter range is the trade off for getting it be point and click.
as far as lore is concerned, she's seen in her music video pinpoint aiming the pistol at the robots, it makes sense.
E: Same, except it makes Jinx do a little Jump backwards when she throws the traps, similar to Caitlyn's net. this would work as kind of her "dash' allowing her to Jump over thinner walls (but not all walls, just thinner ones Baron/Dragon pit, and a few river walls), not as effective as Ezreal or Lucian's flash/dash but still useful for getting out of tight spots.
in her lore she near un-catchable, so why can she be so easily caught in game? having that kind of escape is perfect for her!
R: Same as current, except she rides the rocket (like in the music video!) and is able to jump off at any time, similar to Taliah, but minus the residual wall. it would give her a great global escape, as well as an engage, but the trade off is it puts her in the middle of combat, as a marksman she wouldn't want that kind of melee range, also lower the damage of the R, but lower the cooldown slightly. it would be completely balanced. Jinx's ult should really represent who she is, and that kind of "throw caution to the wind and go all in" ult would be perfect on her! with a good R + E combo, you could blowup on enemies, and throw your traps and get out of danger really quickly! it's literally everything Jinx would want!
Anyway i know this would probably need alittle balance, but i've given it alot of thought, and compared to current champs, it's not super overpowered.. but i know people will have opinions on this, but it is what I think the perfect Jinx kit would look like..
