Will Jinx still be worth playing in ranked after her ult nerf?

The ult nerf hit her close range kiting hard, but on the other hand, in the tank meta there are a lot of people to peel for you. But then again, I am in bronze. Thoughts?

The rocket scales up in damage for the first second it's in the air, so she should be punished for using it super-short range anyway IMO. Either way, I'm guessing this will barely affect her win rate, since the rest of her kit makes her a monster in this meta.

Obvious sarcasm is obvious.

It's almost comical that you're asking this Because the nerf is going to do almost absolutely nothing to her

Yeah it will barley affect her, honestly. She's still pretty much #1.

Absolutely. Still chunks people for 25% of their missing health at rank 1.

She will still be a top adc. Definitely picked less often though

The top ADC.

Her ult isn't what makes her good. It's still a useful ability, but in my opinion not her best. Being able to crit an entire team with her rockets (and the fact that her rockets have 700 range) is what makes her good.

She won't really be affected by this. Its really going to benefit her to shoot long range now and not point blank. It still scales to the same, but the minimum is just lowered. So the for sure Ults aren't going to be as deadly as the "on a prayer" ults are going to be. Its making her ult more risk= more reward. She still scales insanely well and towers cower before her.

Yes.

It doesn't affect her tower-pushing or aa dueling, which are her strong suits.

Just don't ult close-range and you'll be fine.

Riot needs to mega nerf Jinx's early game. She is WAY too strong early for the terror she becomes late game. She should honestly be weaker than Vayne in the laning phase.
