lol? Alright ladies and gents... lets see the most played/winrate adc champ last month http://i.imgur.com/X5IwZ8z.png

hmmm yess indeed... thats very balanced... in the top 10 winrate ever since the release.. HMM and the only champ that has the pick number of over 1 million, let me check off about whats so balanced about her

Highest Winrate/Pickrate out of all ADC's ✔ Insane turret pushing ✔ 110% AOE crits/longer than trist's passive range ✔ Zap does insane damage while it has slow cc and gives off vision ✔ Lowest CD Projectile ult out of all the ADC"s which makes he spam it like crazy ✔ Instantly gains huge attack speed from one attack speed item ✔ BUT MUH MOBILITY

hmm YES Indeed, very balanced, Im actucally having fun seeing her every game in this free week, best time of my life having to see her fed and faceroll/snowball a game every game indeed, any of you kind sir's interested?

She's an easy to pick up adc who is a generalist. She can fill as an adc in most comps, so she is picked often (and as an easy to pick up and easy to learn champ her winrate is pretty good). Her turret pushing is great, but requires her to be close range and have no enemies nearby. She loses almost all her attackspeed and thus most of her DPS if she uses those crits. They also cost mana per shot. Zap also has a massive wind up and immobilizes her during the firing. It also shows the range and where it will hit well in advance. Her kit is also much riskier than most adcs and does meh damage except as an execute. ...Not really? She gains the LOWEST attack speed of any adc from an attack speed item; her base attack speed is literally one of the bottom 5.

While she could stand to have a few nerfs (Slightly higher W cooldown? Higher mana cost on Q? Increasing mana cost on Q for ranking it up?), whining about her pros without looking at a single con is stupid.

A 53.55% win rate is relatively healthy. Blitzcrank and Katarina have been up high consistently with high pick rates as well, but you... well, you see a lot of Kat threads but Blitz threads are fewer.

I don't see what your point is. Riot's been fine with champions as long as they don't drop or rise 5% around the 50% mark. Sure, Jinx could use a little love tap, but other adcs could get a little love as well.

We're never going to have perfect balance. Champions will rise and fall in popularity, causing their win rates to flux as a result. Jinx might have a good win rate now, but if Rito buffed her counters or released a counter, it would likely fall.

And she's not number one. If you want to talk about balance with your kind of logic, you title should have been "Sejuani, Heimerdinger, Amumu, Sion, Blitzcrank, Malzahar, Jinx, Katarina, Volibear, Swain are balanced."

I mean, come on. That's just biased.

You got some popular jungle, support, and mid picks in that list too. Gonna complain about them as well?

Every adc is supposed to be good at taking turrets. MF has an AS steroid, and Trist can use a spell on turrets.

Those aoe crits cost mana and drain her bar if she spams them. Early game, this can be abused. She has no waveclear spells outside of this, like Caitlyn and other adc champions.

Zap can be blocked by minions. Many champions have ways to get vision (Kalista's roaming ghosts, Caitlyn's traps, etc).

I got nothing here. Sivir has an amazing teamfight ult, Ashe has a great cc initiation ult, Graves has high burst ult, Caitlyn has a "kill secure!" ult that cannot miss. Every adc ult is different, Jinx's is just a global execute. You could complain about Ezreal's ult, but nobody really does.

That's every adc, ever. Seriously. Jinx has to get autoattacks with her Q to amp her AS up, otherwise she has the lowest base attack speed of the entire class (meaning she can't spam rockets).

At least her passive doesn't activate until a kill or assist, whereas champions like Sivir get a mini-trinity force passive, Vayne can chase, Graves gets tankier in a fight, and so on and so on (not going to even bring up Kalista).
