Jinx has been the fan favorite ADC for quite some time now, literally most of my matches has a Jinx in it......

I don't understand what point you're trying to make by saying you play a broken champion.

I certainitly don't know about strength, but I know I enjoy Jinx just because she's so... stylish.

Most of that has to do with the more mobile adcs having been nerfed in the past few months. (granted not all of them)

But she is really only 1 of two "hyper carry" adcs right now. The other being Vayne. But Jinx has clear weakness over the other top picked adcs. Her lack of mobility is HUGE. Just take one of the 30 or so assassin-ish champs that can get to her in a fight and destroy her. Without a front line she doesn't bring much.

Vayne isn't a hypercarry.

Also her chompers are one of the most broken spells in the game for zone control.

Vayne isn't a hypercarry.

Wat.

Wat.

She's a duelist but she sucks at sieging and her safety is entirely reliant upon the player's skill, unlike other hypercarries which aren't nearly as reliant on skill.

She's a single target hypercarry. You want an aoe hypercarry with mobility? ride the Kalista train. Like everyone else. Jinx has a lot of weaknesses.

She outdamages a lot of ADCs while having good range and great utillity.

...... Vayne has been one of the top 2-3 hyper carries in the game from the moment she was created...

Vayne kills tanks quicker than any of the other adcs. Also much higher mobility than Jinx. Once you said Vayne isn't a hyper carry, basically you are saying you are salty at Jinx and she beat you in a game recently.

Compare her to another hypercarry, Tristana. Good mobility, stupid damage, not one, but 2 escape mechanisms. Jinx has one tool to escape, walk around it. Jinx takes good positioning, as if she gets even glanced at by many of the hyper mobile assassins, she's dead.

RazorTSFeb 22, 20151 votes

after remake i wouldn't call tristana hypercarry anymore, shes safe to play tho

Kalista is a hypercarry now? I thought having good damage was a prerequisite. Her damage is pretty shoddy compared to other AD carries.

ThefriendlyorcFeb 22, 20153 votes

are you mad? Like.. not salty, literally insane?

Sightless66Feb 22, 20152 votes

Her damage is mediocre compared to a lot of other AD carries. She lacks steriods completely and rend isn't that amazing to completely make up for that, even with a Hurricane. She can't match the damage of an actual hypercarry. She's really good despite that, but damage isn't her strength. She's really, really, really mobile.

Raja ChachkiFeb 22, 20152 votes

rend COMPLETELY makes up for it. A resetting, unlimited stacks mechanic(that when used with Runaan's hits 3 enemies) is lackluster? No it is better than other steroids. But I agree with your idea that she isn't a hyper carry, she's better throughout all stages of the game.

Sightless66Feb 22, 20151 votes

What do you mean when you say it makes up for it? When I say it doesn't, what I mean is that rend doesn't give the same damage potential an actual steroid does. Rend gives a lot of damage early game, but it actually falls off a lot later game, unlike real steroids that scale much better. That isn't saying rend is lackluster. It gives a lot of damage for an ability, but it can't match up to actual steriod damage. On top of that, she's lacking some damage in the rest of her kit (particularly the ultimate).

I never find that she really does a lot of damage. She's really strong because she's so mobile, but I'd consider damage a weak point of hers. Not weak enough to actually make her a weak or balanced champion of course, but still a negative for her overall.

Ok but what you don't understand is that her immense range and damage on her rockets let her 3-4 hit the squishies, even if it's not a direct hit the splash damage is insane. After you get that first kill you basically have all the mobility you need from your passive, too much actaully.

RetillinMay 16, 20151 votes

If Jinx hits 4 squishies on your team... then you have no front line. If none of those 4 squishies is an assassinish play who can get to her and kill her quick, then of course you are going to lose a team fight. This sounds more like a bad team comp, than anything to do with Jinx.

+1 YEEH KALLERUS welcome to the nerf jinx party ur not the only one that thinks jinx is broken

btw she has 110% AOE crits at late game

Fastest turret pushing

lowest projectile ult out of all the other ADC's

W does retarded damage for a slow cc and that also gives vision as well

nerf her plz Rito

ur doing gods work kallerus

Raja ChachkiFeb 22, 20151 votes

All that needs nerfing is her W missile speed, and her attack speed stacks on Q. She's not "broken", just strong. This is also because all other mobile ADCs(besides Kalista) are getting nerfed, so she is beginning to shine.
