rofl this champion I swear

37.3% pickrate.

37.3 fucking percent pickrate, yet she still maintains a 53% winrate despite all the newbies playing her and "doing bad" (implying it's possible to do bad with this bs low risk champion), she still fucking maintains a top-tier winrate. She has the highest pickrate out of any ADCs, yet still has the 2nd highest winrate among them all (the 1st being Mordekaiser).

Please remind me why this champion still escapes MEANINGFUL and IMPACTFUL nerfs?

Edit: BTW, This is Ranked Platinium+.

Oops, looks like you didn't clip out the 87 which is the average number of games the player has with Jinx. Yea, those 87 games are no way an indication on how much experience the average player has with Jinx. Sorting by average number of games, Jinx is fourth (topped by Draven, Quinn and Vayne). Even if she is the "fall back when I have to play ADC", there's still an 87 game average.

87 games on a champion doesn't fucking justify a 53% winrate with 37% pickrate.

Plus, Season 5 is almost finished, which means almost 10 months of playing, yet, the average Jinx player only played her 87 times... In 10 fucking months.

And I just stated only 3 ADC are played more. What exactly is your point?

Edit: Note that these are player base averages. Jinx has a higher play percent, so she is played in more games overall, which drives her player experience average down more than someone that is played less like Quinn.

Point is, people realize that she literally has no drawback at picking her as she fits in any game since she's got everything an ADC wants to have. And please, don't being up that "but she's fun to play" bullshit. Yes, she might be fun to play and I'm sure that there are ACTUAL Jinx mains who love to play her for her kit and not for her overpowerness, but seriously, at least, raise the skill cap to this champion so she's not a "oh, i have to adc, kk, ill pick jinx ez win lol"

And this is in ranked. Think about freakin' normals.

Minions4eVeROct 27, 20151 votes

Yep, only in Ranked in Platinium+.

I should add that to the OP, but still, this champion is fucking stupid and has no real weaknesses since her strengths are so big they almost cover up for them.

53% Winrate ain't THAT amazing.

It is.

No her kit is extremely oppressive, paired with any support she is good. What needs to happen is: Mana cost of rockets early ( her Q not her ult) Needs to go up significantly, its an extremely strong lane ability with little drawbacks. It's even strong in team fights because 110% damage, AoE, ranged crits Zaps it box needs to be fixed abit Chompers is fine But the main reason she is so good is that she is an adc with an execute, a ranged AoE execute, she's basically got Riven's ult in a circle instead of a cone

they could start by not giving her her fucking passive on an assist. this is the most infuriating thing. she throws aoe rockets from 700 range. as soon as anyone dies in a teamfight she starts ghosting and doesnt stop as she now kites like a monster and murders everyone trying to get to her.

and if you dont try to get to her, she blows up your team with those goddamn rocket crits.

jinx is definitely massively overtuned. people were complaining about the juggs on their release patch. at least when some of them were op they still had lane counters and losing matchups.

statistics show, that jinx has above 50% winrate against almost every other adc. she does not have a direct counter, while she has almost 56% winrate against several other adc. this means while she has no counter herself, she still counters other champs on bot lane.

Eh, same thing can be said about Ashe.

I think some ADC are just like that. It's more about what Support you should bring against an ADC that doesn't have any glaring weaknesses to exploit.

Slamurai JackOct 27, 20151 votes

You should've been here when I was making this exact same thread early in the season; only Jinx had a 56% win rate then instead of 53%.

You don't seem to quite understand that a higher than average win rate with a lower than average play rate is actually normal. It means that the people playing the champion really know how to play and will generally win. Problems are when the champion has higher than average win rate with higher than average play rate, as this means inexperienced players are picking the champ and doing well
