Tell me what you guys think because that's what i think for the better of the LoL community. And here are my reasons why:
Well, those are my two main points about Jinx when i played against her with Graves. So.. Nerf it? or leave it? What's your opinion?
I think Jinx is pretty close to balanced as she is. One thing that people always seem to get confused on is that she has high attack speed OR long range she cant have both. If she has high attack speed, then she has the shortest range of any ADC. If she has high range then she has the lowest attack speed of any ADC. Plus, since she has no escape mechanism (like vayne tumble, corki jump, exreal flash...) she gets DESTROYED by gap closers. Another thing to consider is that her burst is almost nonexistent, if she uses any abilities while auto attacking then she takes a dps hit. So all of her 'burst' damage comes from AA. which while higher than average at lower levels is not that much higher.
Jinx has problems dealing wth assassins. Inagree she is too stron in lane with a support, but she is fine in team fights. From what I played with and against her there are a couple of things they can do.
remove her aoe on q
lower he dmg on q
lower dmg on w
make a bigger delay on w (like half a second more)
1 or maybe 2 of these will work fine. I think she is strong but not overpowered.
They need to just remove the snare from the E. Her E is like a MUCH better version of Varus's E. In addition, with good tactics, it's much better than Caitlyn's W. It's insane. Other than that, I'm okay with her. After all, she is a hyper-carry. She will be powerful late game like every ADC.
i think her ZAP ability should be nerfed because it does way too much damage for a slow lol
She's simply way overpowered, I mean 130% AS within 3 hits?, for nothing?, on a skill which can also be switched to grant AoE damage on a ranged carry coupled with advantageous range?...
How long does Tristanas 90% AS last anyway? because Jinx just has to land 3 hits to have greater AS indefinetly with no cost...
Massive move speed if she gets a kill, nice, global reach skill shot, nice, massive damage super heavy slow... OK, it has a telegraph that only a modern champ with any kind of mobility could avoid, 3 object line snare... that's up to 3 champions blocking a line... oh, it has a delay too... like you can't forecast it right where they need to cross to engage you...
All of her features are OK, but she's entirely too powerful. her mini gun should ramp up in smaller increments up to a high cap after far more hits, and decay much faster, that way if she sustains attack for a long period of time, she will get ridiculous attack speed, not in only 3 hits.
I can't give a full account of her operation, but I've seen her trade face to face with bruisers with max items and no investment in defense except one lifesteal item, and beat foes with a balance of offense and defense. It's nonsense.
As a side note, lifesteal should be reduced on ranged, they have a meta dominating defensive and offensive reach advantage, there's no reason for them to get effective defense multiplied against their damage output.
She's fun. Problem is she does have a lower damage potential at level 18 like Lucian. Her kit is fun, but she is easily countered by a proper ranged adc. If she goes with rocket, her range is better, but eats mana, so a ranged adc is going to win in the end. Her W is dangerous, but easy to dodge at range. Such a long range on it is a blessing and a curse. I'd say leave her or maybe decrease W damage a tad early levels. She reminds me of Corki, but less powerful and more fun.
Just keep minions in between her and you and harass at range over the minions if she tries to use minigun. She'll be forced to switch and use mana or retreat. Either way, you have sustain over her. Above all, just don't get caught with the W.
PULSEFIRE OP GUYS AGAINST JINX
Already got nefted,shut up!
i would MAYBE nerf her AS on her q a bit. because it's a little high. apart from that. i think her w is very dodgeable. and her e and r are perfect.
i don't think you need to change her missiles either.
she's easily countered by corki. but apart from him, i don't know who else does well against her in lane. any one know the answer to that as of yet?
You failed to mention the long range on her abilities and her speediness.
Jinx has a huge AS steroid on her Q, but her base AS scaling is absolutely terrible. Her base AS at level 18 is only 0.731, which is good for 4th lowest among all champions. As a result, her AS with full minigun stacks is more like Graves than Tristana.
I don't think her Q needs any changes. I do think her other buttons do too much damage at lower ranks, though -- I'd like there to be some tension between ranking Q and W, and her power spike at level 3 is intense right now.
IF YOU ARGUE this point that she is OP because of damage look a the build if she is leveled to 18 with nothing she is not that great she is slow even with boots of any kind. and her insane boost come IF she can kill and it decreases like instantly. I figure her range in her q could be changed but the skill it takes as apposed t Xerath's range i suppose is decent compared. Vayne was mentioned. she is really slow but when she play swell she snowballs at the end of the game. I can see cases of that with Jinx but if everyone holds their own in a battle she is just like everyone else. she could use some adjustments, like health or ad per level, other than that she is very good where she is at.
I think they just need to fine tune her a little bit more. She isn't too op atm imo.
