Jinx Rework?

turtlerekter·Mar 5, 2017·3 votes·4,289 views

Anyone else agree that Jinx needs a little bit of a rework? I mean even Ashe can destroy her because her escapes are so weak. Sure she can deal some decent damage, but her abilities are weak. I personally like her Q but her E just seems way to weak. Also her Ult is just so easy to dodge. Its accentual just an Ashe ult minus the stun. Maybe give her a way to follow it up by doing something like Taliyahs' ult by having he ride the rocket and jump of it when she wants to. Also her visual really needs an update. She just looks AWFUL without a skin. I just think that she needs some sort of rework. Anyone else agree?

Here is the whole thing, jinx lacks utility, so comparing her with Ashe is stupid, jinx is a lategame hypercarry bent on doing enough damage to make the enemy team go... "Wait she was 1/5 like thirty minutes ago" Kind of like Vayne, If you are comparing Ashe ult, a utility spell, to Jinx ult, a damage spell, then why can't you say, draven and ezreal needs tweaks cause THERI ultimates dont stun (Thank god for that) Jinx AOE teamfight hypercarry Caitlyn Zone control high damage output Draven Ubsurd single target damage Jhin Utility, damage, pick Kalista Mobile, extended teamfight means high damage Lucian Mobile, good at in and out situations KogMaw On hit tank shreder MissFortune Teamfight ultimate that can make or break the game Sivir utility in wave clear and high damage from richocet late game Tristana Mobile reset adc Twitch assassin or teamfight slayer Varus Poke op and utility ultimate Vayne Late game hyper carry with duel potential Ezreal Mobile poke and utility with item 3025

All have different playstyles strengths, and weaknesses, some more then others. Which is where buffs, nerfs etc take place.

I don't understand why people say, "This champ does this which makes this champ look bad" when every champ has different playstyles and the meta shifts in favor of them

Yes, there are times where a champ is to weak, and needs buffs, or to strong, needs nerfs, but reworking a champ cause, "Ashe ult stuns, jinx's doesn't" Is stupid

Jinx ult is easy to dodge? well you're probably use it like ashes ult and just fire it at close range and jinx ult is exucute ability ment to be used at long distanced at enemies with low hp to finish them off, her rocket gets more damage and speed by traveling longer and more damage the less HP you have, so my guess you're just using her ult wrong, her E while is a bit slow to arm is a decent CC especialy combined with hard CC support, so all they could do is make those flame chompers to arm faster.

No, leave my jinx alone

Jinx does lot's of aoe damage and I believe get's a higher attack speed with minigun. Jinx ult does way more damage than ashe's ult. It's an execution type of ultimate (think Garen) with aoe to further strengthen her teamfighting. Jinx also has more range with w and q. She has a snare for zoning. Jinx is made for teamfighting. Her utility is limited to her e and w however.

Ashe on the other hand has way more utility. If you have ever been hit by an ashe ult across the map you know how shitty that feels, especially next to an enemy champion. She has a constant slow, so chasing and kiting are what she is best at. She can set up for every one else so I'd say out of all the adc's she is the most support like. However her damage is lacking in pretty much every way right now. All of the damage from her ult is coming from the base damage, as it scales off of ap. Her w is basically 1 auto attack worth of damage. She shreds, but that doesn't really matter when every other adc can burst her faster than she can get her q to do that.

All in all jinx is superior to ashe because she has more damage, in a meta where whoever has more burst wins. (I think)

as 4th and the best Jinx in the world, I don't think she needs a rework though. I destroyed pretty all adcs. Only champ that I have hard time to play against is Quinn. Please feel free to ask me if you need any advice. Remember, it's the best if you pick ur good support who helps u out a lot.

I literally never use frozen mallet on Jinx. I don't go in and fight with them. I just stay behind the team and shoot them like maniac woman!

I usually grab shiv to do more damage. Sometimes, I grab a cannon when i am in mood to 1v1 or pick one by one.

I used PD when I was Jinx mid. it helps A LOT!

I have a lot of list with a "items for a specific situation" in my section. If you interested, I can copy it and paste it on here.

Oh please do, I suppose frozen mallet is a playstyle preference then

Jinx ult and ashe ult are different in a sense it takes time to launch the rocket just like ezreal ult while ashe ult it's press release and bam large arrow lol ya jinx could use adjusting

Warlord ScrapMar 5, 20171 votes

But jinxs rocket gets aoe so you dont need a direct hit tokill the champ.

Your third momMar 5, 20173 votes

yeah but you need direct hit to a champion to deal that damage

Warlord ScrapMar 5, 20172 votes

But with ashe you can body block with jinx body blocking might not be enough

Your third momMar 5, 20171 votes

well its ment to be execute, and as far as i know there no executes in this game that could be body blocked. So i guess thats the whole idea of exucutes from Riots point of view.

Mizuki ZahraMar 5, 20173 votes

It's how I steal dragon lol she could use a boost in damage on her ult lol

zk0xMar 5, 20171 votes

I understand why you pick frozen mallet. It's nothing wrong with it, actually! You just want to chase them down and kill them! Everyone do! I think you might did like what I did. So, I came up with a new idea for Jinx. I experimented it, and it worked A LOT! I used surge on Jinx. I just shooting them to death while using surge.

Jinx erased Jhin Thresh summoner 4 summoner 3 summoner 7

exh basically doesn't useful against surge. As surge said, it will reduce 75% of slow down. Exh reduce like 40% or something. I literally never had a problem with exh when i use surge.

NOW, here is the list:: Follow the order items to buy. If you see that I added "UPDATE INCOMING", it means I'm working on a different item sets.

The new technology class (against typical ADCs, standard item set):

Classic psychotic Jinx (aka the tank destroyer):

Wow, this part is too much for me to type. I'm sorry, I'm still learning to the forum!

But, there is everything on my list. Go to my twitch, https://www.twitch.tv/jinx_engineer then scroll down until you see the header that says "Items on Jinx" with Slayer Jinx. Just ignore the video. There is all list include mid jinx, top jinx, jg jinx, and sup jinx.

By no means best jinx, by no means does however many mastery points means you are the 4th jinx, you know those "This guy has 3mil on ashe hadstuck bronze" thats you, but gold, with prerecorded gameplay, and a mask, and all you do is play with your hair. fun fact, I could have 3 million points on Ahri, but if I have a 52%winrate and am not climbing well out of gold, (means I am shit on Ahri) just like a certain jinx I know.
