I Feel her ability to use rockets to just sit and clear minion waves should be affected more so then it is, that using her rockets should be burn mana like kog'maw's ult, the more you use the greater the mana is consumed, cause the range on her rockets is longer then caitlyn's auto attack whos range is supposed to be the one of the champions with the longest AA range next to Tristana when she reaches level 18, so I feel jinx should have greater mana consumption on spamming her rockets non stop in lane cause it gives to much lane control in clearing minion waves to the effect it had almost no drain on her mana doing so.

I would argue that it actually has pretty reasonable mana cost during lane phase. It takes around 20 mana a rocket, and you're firing at the absolute least 4 times, probably more like 6-8. That means to clear one wave it costs around 120-160 mana, and Jinx's mana pool is relatively small. She definitely cannot sustain doing that for a long period of time.

Jinx is a bit strong right now, but nerfing her laning, and in particular her rocket mana cost, really isn't the way to go about reducing her power IMO.

well i see jinx rocket farming minion waves and burning about only half the mana cost you pointed out for about 12-16 shots.

rockets do burn mana quite fast. but if you are smart and wanna push you can bring several minions down to lasthit health and then use one rocked to get multiple cs with rockets aoe. I believe the mana cost on jinx abilities is quite reasonable. There is nothing OP here.
