Legendary Jinx Skin Idea

NekoSkittles·5/16/2015, 2:50:46 AM·18 votes·10,424 views

So I was trying to think of a cool skin idea that would work for Jinx and I have noticed that everyone seems to want Harley Quinn Jinx or Commando Jinx or even Asylum Jinx... but all those ideas are kind of played out so what about a skin were she isn't Crazy? It would have to be a Legendary Skin of course because her quotes should fit her new skin... Now this skin would not be a slutty type skin, nor would it be a Corporate type skin... just not crazy. She would not have the crazy look in her eyes, she would have a more natural look to her... Her wardrobe would be more covering but not like business type either... I unfortunately have no artistic talent so I was unable to draw what I had in mind so I provided two pictures that fit (somewhat) to what i was thinking on her look. Her personality in this skin would be more mature similar to Caitlyn and Miss Fortune (just not super slutty), she would be condescending maybe a little arrogant similar to Ekko. Her basic mannerisms would be more street smart not so much insane and overly excited about blowing stuff up. She would be proud of the fact that she is in a gang from Zaun rather then just not care at all. Her weapons would be mostly the same looking but with slight tweaks for example PowPow wouldn't have the cat ears and Fishbones wouldn't have a face. Her interactions with VI would be less teasing and more disappointed at how VI turned out (keep in mind she is older then VI). Please comment and tell me what you think or if you have any ideas that would go along with this idea, I am curious to see what others think of this idea :3

So basically make Jinx into....sane Jinx? Sounds....boring, to be honest. Aside from being a pretty damn good ADC, it's her quirks that make people like her. Like how Vi has an addiction to punching, or Garen has an addiction to Demacia. It's lil quirks like that which contribute to a character, their personality and behaviour. You seem to have a rather strong aversion to Jinx's quirks, which seems to be the reason for this concept.

If there would be a legendary skin for her, it'd have to add something new and exciting. I could see a skin like "Corporate Jinx", where she's trying to fit into normal society, such as being a businesswoman (for Mundo Corp?), but caaaan't quite manage it. Plenty of other things, too.

This idea only dimnishes her as a character. Maybe it appeals to you more than "classic" Jinx, but I'm not sure how many would agree with you on it. If you want a totally different Jinx, try to be more creative with it. Take it further than "sane Jinx".

Just one question. Why are her hands the size of her eyes?

i dont think ppl would have any interest in this skin. Jinx is a champ with a large personality and to take that away would probably turn ppl off of it.

ok so how about we take it past sane jinx. they could push her on the opposite end of the spectrum and make her seem like shes just bored of life with no excitement at all kind of like Daria links to a youtube vid in case you dont know who daria is :D

I like the idea to be honest, but maybe if I may suggest something; having the weapon concept as well.

Just no, this is like changing all her personality and stuff, and for me that ruin jinx, i dont even like how she looks... sorry, but no, please. I think they can do, should do a better skin idea for Jinx, and more if is a legendary skin.

I actually do like the idea. Make a very condescending, more cocky, complete n total biatch jinx, and there you go, legendary skin. I mean, maybe not completely NOT crazy, just like that one person suggested, pre-insanity Jinx ^^

I definitely give you points for originality. You for SURE have an interesting point of view, and I think if you keep applying yourself, you can come up with something awesome.

That said, I'm not so sure I agree with this Jinx idea, for many of the reasons listed below, chief among which, it would feel like you're taking away everything that makes Jinx... Jinx. I mean, Pow-Pow without the ears and Fishbones without the face would just feel like a boring old machine gun and rocket launcher.

I feel like Jinx would be a good candidate for the News Studio thing that Janna and Draven have going, maybe "Breaking News" or even "On Air" Jinx? I mean, sure, to pull it off, she'd probably have to run with the classic business suit and skirt, and her weapons won't change much, maybe a recoloration (unless.............. Pow-Pow can be a camera and Fishbones a boom mic...? (Hell, I don't know what Zap! can be, a handheld recording device??)), but I think it'd be fun to see.

But hey, thinking of the perfect skin for Jinx is probably the hardest of any champion so far (besides maybe Gnar? Like, what can you do for him??), because there's so many different little things you got to pay attention to, like, "Does the champion fit the skin?" and at the same time "Does the skin fit the champion?"

This ended up going a lot longer than I intended, but don't forget to find the praise within the criticism, you have a refreshing take on everything, so keep brainstorming, who knows what you'll come up with? Have a snack! item 2052

It sucks that this was completely forgotten about, I think it's an interesting idea though it does need a little work. I would actually be interested in seeing Riot do something with this.

Complete with new ability names:

Passive: Get Exited. Q: Switcheroo. W. Zap. E. Flame Chompers. R. Super Mega Death Rocket.

"But aren't those the names for Jinx's normal abilites?"

Absolutely not. Jinx's base abilities have exclamation points at the end of them. These abilities don't.

Therefore, these are completely new ability names.

New Vo isn't exclusive to legendary skins. just look at primetime draven,he is only a 1350 skin despite his new VO;)

EDIT:Looks like I was mistaken here Prime time draven isn't a 1350-skin,its only a 975 skin,but still no legendary;).

EDIT2:Looks like I was wrong,PT-draven is legendary,just with a constant price reduction,the EUW-client doesn't list him as legendary because of that,despite the skin having legendary quality.

Not crazy, but still has a rocket launcher and a minigun? how would that work? Also there is the Mecha-Jinx idea that someone made a while ago
