Jinx. I am 100% satisfied. Thank you Riot

Sure there are minor complaints, but she is a very unique, well designed and well presented character. I would just like to thank riot for what I'm sure is going to be a very popular and amazing marksman. Also I like how lucian, your previously released marksman, counters jinx's kit, which will surely spike his popularity too.

She is really an intoxicating model, and her kit seems like it is exactly what I want in a marksman, and I'm sure with her lack of mobility and defensive abilities she will carry just as hard as some of the stronger carries out there :).

I love every one of her skills, and I see a high potential of her having good AP ratios, so she can possibly be played mid. I am super excited and will instantly buy her no matter how long it takes to release her.

Thank you Riot for a high quality and for what I'm sure will be one of the most fun marksmen ever!

i just want to say i'm tired of you guys coming out with so many high damage adc and brutes but hardly release tanks or ground breaking characters like blitzcrank, who change the game up to some degree.

General ElephantSep 27, 20132 votes

She is unique. She has the worst aspd per level, but has the largest aspd boost ever. She is only mobile after killing a person or tower... She is very easy to gank and her w/e are skill shots with charge time leaving time for plenty counter play. Blitz was game changing simply because of the mass amounts of displacement/knock up he can do and his good ratios. He just had something inherently OP about his kit that allowed people to kill enemies easier.

Riot has released tanks. Zac and Vi come to mind. They are trying to make champions that feel strong, but aren't OP. This is a good thing.

Vi is not a tank she is a Bruiser primary and Assassin secondary there is only one 100% true tank in league and that is Leona every other tanky champion has damage ratios that allow them to carry a game Vi being the scariest jungle assassin to play against because she can 1 or 2 shot entire teams with the right build.

Thresh and Zac would like a word. Also Vi was the last champion release last year.

Dangit. Stole the words I was going to type :P

you also have Malph, Garen, Mundo, J4, Lee Sin, etc. etc. There are plenty of worth while tanks available, but not so much on the adc part hence Lucian and Jinx. You can even go tanky AD Nidalee xD

I completely agree with this, Riot really made an amazing champion!

If you look on PBE all her ratios right now are ad

General ElephantSep 27, 20131 votes

Good to know. So no mid. Oh well. I like ad more anyway XD. (I'm not a very good mid)

Mad Hit MonkeySep 27, 20131 votes

her E's ratios are AP based though. Not exactly sure I see many situations where one would go AP Jinx, but I'm sure SOMEONE will try it.

Mad Hit MonkeySep 27, 20131 votes

Not gonna lie, I do like her style, theme and everything. She's thematically awesome. She might, however, be REAAAAAAALLY snowbally, which might be bad. We'll see how it turns out, but I see a couple of nerfs popping up in the future.

General ElephantSep 27, 20131 votes

I read a few PBE threads that go into why she is strong but not OP. She apparently feels OP, but because she has the worst aspd per level in the game it isn't as bad as it seems. Also with delays on her two cc skills which are SkillShots it makes it easier to gank her.

Mad Hit MonkeySep 27, 20131 votes

Might, if her W had a longer cooldown, but her W Cooldowns are at 10/9/8/7/6. Give her blue buff and that's a maxed CD at 4 seconds. She can spam that thing for a while.

She can clear waves REALLY fast with her Q, all by itself, that could put Tristana to shame. ESPECIALLY with Blue Buff.

To her credit, she has no escapes, though her E's roots would help in that regard. Until she kills someone, then she can haul ass.

Kaelath The RedSep 29, 20131 votes

Snowballing doesn't begin to describe how broken Jinx is right now, her W at level 1 if you have 75AD from Doran's blade gives her 139 damage people playing on PBE right now just so they can try her out and not actually test her are going full AD rune pages and doing over 200 damage at level 1 with her W and completely lopsided lanes because you can't trade off against them due to her W charging up faster than you can dodge it from close ranges.

Her Q is neglected by these players as they don't touch her rocket launcher they just abuse the attack speed from her mini gun and she ends up doing damage like a level 10 Yi at level 2. So hopefully we will see some incoming nerfs this week to tame the vast overpowered nature she has right now. Though with people on PBE constantly dodging matches because they didn't get to pick her this might take months Before people actually testing stuff gets time to play her more.

^ She will become my main for sure, everything about her down to her personality reminds me of myself, finally :3

HÿBriiDSep 29, 20131 votes

i agree 100% with you guys she is not op. she has very little chances of escaping if she misses her e. she may become a little bit snowbally but we will have some one to go up against vayne :p her ult is pretty cool to but i do think it is a bit to small. some of her early game ratios are broken, and i am expecting a nerf on that, but overall she is a great champ and i love her!

Sir NightenGaleSep 29, 20131 votes

Complete and utter agreement with this! Riot works so hard and they have done a good job so far.

Vallinv2Sep 29, 20131 votes

I REALLY REALLY TRULY AGREE, i love her just like i love ziggs, the crazy, blow em up, don't give a **** champions are really great, THANKS RIOT!!!

ClaussenSep 29, 20131 votes

I can't tell if this is sarcasm

General ElephantSep 30, 20131 votes

It isn't. I am genuinely happy with jinx, and I think people are too pessimistic about new champions. She is gonna be a riot to play.... Pun intended.
