An Idea to bring Jinx a little more in line

DrNova··2 votes·388 views

Her aoe shot should be a targeted skillshot, not a targeted attack. That way creeps can get in the way, other players can block it, ect. Would take more skill to use instead of just targeting an aoe crit, which is a bit shitty to be on the recieving end of. (By aoe shot i mean her not mini gun basic attack)

Just my opinion.

Having an ADC with skillshot autos would probably be too confusing, especially when you're building a lot of attack speed.

Just her aoe shot. Would fire in the direction of whatever target your clicking on like an AA, but would be blocked if someting was in the way. Would still function the same as a traditional AA, so you would play it the same, just would have to keep a mind on obstacles (i.e. minions nuetrals and other players, not walls)

An aoe crit with increased damage is just a bit much on an adc who AA's contantly. Just seemed like a decent idea to balance that out without gutting it

So it's targeted but it hits the first target it comes in contact with?

Yeah. Aka similar to Lucian Q, would fire in direction of target, with the exception of detonating on the first enemy hit

sounds like an urgot mechanic with his E+Q. imo it sounds better for a new champ concept.\ if jinx is OOM, you wont be getting aoe crits

We have plenty of ADC's who are skill shot Reliant. (Corki, Ez) And skill shot are actually one Crap load of Utility. Notably I could fire my skill shots to where I don't have vision. It would be pretty problematic if I started throwing rockets in to the Dark, especially if they were at a Jungle camp.

You are slightly missing my point. I'm not talking about usage of skills, thats a seperate deal. I'm talking about the fact that her AA has a mode which is AOE, increased damage, and can apply crits in said aoe. And I edited first post to clarify. I dont mean full skillshot, still targeted, but can be intercepted by minions, or an ally blocking for you.

Why not just take off the scaling range on Rockets? Boom, set it to a flat 100. Then her rockets shoot further than the guns, keep some of the utility, but she's not the longest reach in the game for ADCs with (one of) her AA. She still has ridiculous poke range with Zap and full map range with her ult, but actually has to make an effort to position with her rockets which still give stupid aoe damage. Ideally I'd say shrink the range of the aoe or take off the crit on the explosion, but I'd be fine if they just take off the scaling range so she's not a speed demon with the minigun AND a range beast with rockets.

calling it a skillshot is a bit misleading and I can see its making people confused, so say it like this: mini-caitlyn ults
