I hope not, I personally think she's a pretty balanced champ. She has no escapes (while I've had some people try and defend that her Zap! is an escape, they're clearly brain dead) and her biggest weakness is if you rush her and do even moderate damage, you can outlane her easy. The only people who complain about her are the people who are incapable of adjusting. She's not op, she's just different.

Jinx doesnt need a nerf at all, she is new so people dont know how to counter her yet

The only thing i find very powerful about her is Zap! the damage is pretty insane, but asides from that, she isn't very special as an ADC.

Since if you change weapons with Fishbones/Pow-Pow the attack speed can't be used for both weapons, the range of Pow-Pow is very short but the attack speed of Fishbones is very low, her traps are pretty good but you can avoid them very easily, and unlike Caitlyn's traps they don't give you vision of the enemy, nor last 4 minutes, and her ult is not as strong as it looks, more often than not Ezreal's Trueshot Barrage or Draven's Whirling Death do a better job securing a kill,

If you are gonna play Jinx... you should probably pick Tristana or Caitlyn, Tristana at level 18 with her Q is pretty much Fishbones/Pow-Pow combined (without the AoE), her escape resets on kills or assist and on top of that she has a knockback.

Caitlyn has Fishbones range at level 1, the traps have more impact and she has a escape & slow, AND a more reliable ult.

This are just my thoughts.

Every Jinx I have played against in non-ranked games is awful.

So, since Jinx has come out she's been 100% picked or banned in every one of my games. Part of this is because I wanted to play her, but I've only played her 2-3 times since she came out.

However, I've played against her. Quite a bit, in fact. So far the champion I've had the most success against her with is Corki. In laning phase her weakness seems to be the 'all-in', which Corki is FANTASTIC at. And after that he can still out duel her, you just have to treat her like the hyper carry that she is and make her your number one priority.

I really don't like the damage on her Zap, or the slow. Maybe tone that down a bit, other then that shes fine. Although it might be as intented,if you nerf either the damage or the slow she might be poo, not sure. Still, my two cents.

only thing that needs adjusting is the early game Zap damage. the more i play against her, the more i realize she is balanced for the most part.
