Maths behind this ?

Jinx's W does 10 - 60 - 110 - 160 - 210 damage based on how many points are in it with a 1.4 AD ratio (That is an insanely high AD Ratio BTW.)

Her attack damage scales from 58.5 to 99.4 based on level, without looking at items or runes.

By 20 minutes an ADC should be around level 11.

So they will have 79.6 AD from level alone.

At this point an ADC should also have around 9-10k Gold.

Infinity Edge is 3600, 70 AD Runaan's Hurricane is 2600 Bloodthirster is 3700, 75 AD

This gives the level 11 Jinx 224.6 AD and 50% crit.

The W, if maxed, would give 210 + 314.44 damage. That is 524.44 if it does not crit. Since now they can crit, and it allows the IE modification to to increase the crit, it will hit for 1311.1, not accounting for armor.

At level 11 the enemy ADC, if they were lets say for example, Ezreal, would have 1186 HP and 52.6 armor (Maybe 61.6 with runes)

That armor would give him 60% of its maximum health (1186) as effective health. This means he can take 1897.6 damage before dying.

So if the W hits, it does 1311.1 damage, leaving 586.5 HP. 1 auto attack if crit, would be 561.5, leaving 25 HP.

So if the enemy Ezreal took 25 HP from anywhere, the jinx could legit land an auto attack and W and kill the Ezreal if both crit.

Enough math?

The question I have though:

Why didn't the tank support, the jungler or the toplaner bodyblock Jinx' Zap if they didn't trust Ezreal to dodge it with his Arcane Shift?

Simple answer: Because sometimes shit happens.

The jinx can legit just sit in a bush and do a surprise W if she wanted to. You can't use the argument of there is counter play by dodging or blocking an ability to say that it is not broken. If Nocturne's fear was changed so that it was for 2.5x as long ( 6.25 seconds ) you can't justify that it is now not balanced just because the tether can be broken.

Fair enough.

So it's not a 1 shot. Can we ban OP for "fake news" ?

Technically it can still be a 1 shot if the jinx gets a level lead. If the enemy has a level 9 Lux support and the Jinx runs lethality runes there can be potential for a 1 shot.

One shot has a really strict definition, it's ONE shot ;)

Close enough lol

Also, it has a Scaling CD, 10,9,8,7,6 based on how many points are in it. At 6 seconds, with no other CDR, the jinx will dominate late game since she can just spam it and be basically a poking mage until the enemy team is forced to initiate since they can't take the abuse. I have a feeling we'll be seeing Essence Reaver on Jinx soon for the CDR to further abuse this.

I see your point but i doubt it. In 6 seconds a jinx with enough dmg to use her W like you suggested could melt an entire team with just AAs/Q+AAs. I dont think ER will be built on her all that often but who knows. I see her just throwing a W out once someone is at half hp to finish them off so she can ramp up her passive and go HAM

A squishy should never eat a jinx W once you start grouping unless its a teamfight though - realistically your 300 armor 3k hp nautilus should be eating them all. If a squishy does eat a W that means either they or the Jinx are far out of position
