making jinx Zapp cast faster based on attack speed?! and this is a good idea why?

you clearly dont any have jinx main's on your team if you think screwing around with the timing of her zapp is a good thing.

it's a line skill shot that has a rythem and timing to it. if you wanna snipe someone with it at long range you gotta know that timing by heart. If you go making it cast faster based on a random thing like attack speed especially when you got 3 stacks on your powpow your going to miss a lot more! Reason is that you'll have it's base timing down but if you make a shot and it's even the .2 seconds faster than you expect your going to miss by making the shot go off infront of them. or if you expecting the faster cast time and something comes along and slows you right before you cast or your q stacks drop off you going to shoot behind them.

either make it faster or leave it alone. your going to make zapp near impossible to use with this random factor put in. [sg-ahri-1]

But it ain't random... it's just faster based on your attack speed. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out the speed after you use it once or twice. And it's not like your building attack speed with each item. You'll adapt rather quickly.

This argument is like saying "adjusting the champion's attack speed hurts their memory feel of properly timing attack move during orb walks". The cast time goes down so it has an actual use outside of light poke (which majority of the time mid -late game her crit rockets do better) and she can weave it in during a teamfight without the channel and end lag forcing her still to be hit and killed.

The only people this is really affecting is those playing against jinx trying to punish her W timings, but considering how she fairs historically, I think this is a healthy change that targets consistency moreso than forcing her back into the scene with over shotting number buffs.

If anything, properly timing this with their attack speed would add to her skill ceiling and reward jinx players with better mechanical skill. Its hardly random at all, just scaling numbers like everything else.

I’m all for anything that makes it so I’m a sitting duck for a shorter period of time... it’s not gonna be that hard to get used to and I actually am a jinx main
