So... Uhm, why was Jinx buffed exactly?

She was already fine, having one of the highest adc win rates in the game, with a pretty decent play rate. All it did was make her have an even bigger win rate while the other nerfed adc's, Ashe and Jhin, and such fell down. Is it her so called "time to shine" like Sej got for a month before the gut? Im pretty sure she was super A-ok before.

Because they need it for WORLD$.

Keep in mind - starting in 6.16 we are in "World's Patches". So everything is balanced for Pros mostly now. And since Jinx wasn't played in pro scene this year at all, she got buffed. Don't look at win rates in solo q to find sense in those changes

Because unlike other ADCs, she'd rarely get a viable chance to use her ult for dmg as opposed to just spamming rockets, which is the real problem imo. The ult was a good buff, she just needs a proper nerf on her rockets attack speed ratios later into the game and maybe even the minigun range, because otherwise it's impossible to approach her unless you're playing Sivir or Vayne without being poked down to half your health in 2 crit autos.

adc's gotta make those LCSBIGPLAYS PENTAKILLS. anyone else does well. nerfed into the ground. we just need tanks anywhere bot bot lane

its gonna be pretty bad at worlds. we're not gonna see any assassin like zed mid lane. outside the obvious leblanc pick. its gonna be the same shit. graves or reksai or elise or gragas jungle. gnar top and braum bard support.

TL vs NV game 3 is the reason why jinx is LUL

the real reason is that no-one at riot is capable of balancing anything in the LoL anymore. That all went out the window around the time they introduced champs like lee sin and akali... i mean you'd have to be a complete biased knob asshole to design that shit and not think it would cause a problem.
