I'm surprised no one is talking about the Jinx nerfs.

That's a real curb stomp on her early game. How are people feeling about it?

What Jinx nerfs?

Last patch she her ult got nerfed, which I'm pretty sure was a pretty huge damage nerf.

There is a nerf on the PBE right now. Her Q attack speed is being changed. The primary effect is a nerf to her early levels. The per-level scaling is being changed to 30%-70%. She is then getting Q attack speed with her champion levels. To give a rough estimation, she'll be losing about 35% attack speed at level 9, equaling out at level 16, then ending up with 10% more attack speed at level 18.

basically Minigun now only has half the AS boost at level 1 and gets to the full boost at level 18.

It's not that bad and they end up being a late game buff. Right now, she's pretty strong at every point in the game, so it makes sense to nerf her early game. The late game buff more than makes up for it. She was intended as a late game hypercarry, anyway, so it's a fitting change.

I wouldn't really say the late game buff makes up for it. 10% attack speed at level 18 matters a lot less than 35% attack speed at level 9. I agree a nerf makes sense, but it is a pretty noticeable nerf.

I never said it wasn't a noticeable nerf. Her early game was WAY too strong for what she was meant to be, so they took it down a pretty good peg. Jinx is the main ADC I play, but I have no complaints about this nerf. And the late game buff might not seem like much, but since her late game is already incredibly strong (especially when it comes to eating turrets) buffing probably isn't even necessary. So I'm just glad they put that in at all. lol

I agree with what Lugg commented on this thread. Except for the zap nerf. It's a pretty hard skillshot to hit (long, visible charge time; I don't get why people don't dodge it more often then they do), so it makes sense for it to deal a pretty darn good bit of damage.

Jinx needed nerfed. She is WAY ahead of any other ADC in the game right now, no one is even close to her. I have no problem with her being such a terror late game like Vayne or Twitch, but their early game is WAY weaker than Jinx. Jinx needs to be a High Risk, High Reward champion but she is Low/Medium Risk right now.

I think they need to nerf her zap as well. It has high base damage, a 140% AD ratio, plus a very strong slow.
