Jinx Rework Idea

Jinx can output loads of damage but suffers from today's high burst and mobility meta. This rework is designed to give her more utility and safety.


Passive: Get Excited!- Jinx's bonus attack speed is increased by 20%. Upon scoring a takedown on a champion, tower, or inhibitor, Jinx gains 100% increased movement speed and 25% increased total attack speed, both of which decay over the next 6 seconds. For the first 2 seconds of these bonuses, Jinx also becomes untargetable.

Q: Switcheroo!- When toggled on, Jinx's attacks deal 110/115/120/125/130% damage in an area around her target. She also gains 75/100/125/150/175 range but loses 25% of her attack speed. When toggled off, Jinx's attacks grant her a stack for 8 seconds, up to 3. Each stack grants Jinx 10/20/30/40/50% increased attack speed. No Cooldown

W: Zap!- Jinx fires a projectile that deals 10/60/110/160/210 (+150% AD) physical damage to the first enemy hit, revealing them and slowing them by 50/60/70/80/90% for 2 seconds. If the projectile hits an enemy champion, Jinx also goes invisible for 1.5 seconds. Cooldown: 8/7/6/5/4 seconds

E: Flame Chompers!- Jinx throws out flame chompers that deal 80/120/160/200/240 (+150% AP) magic damage to enemies hit, snaring them for 2 seconds. Jinx deals 20% increased damage against enemies snared by flame chompers. Cooldown: 18/16/14/12/10 seconds

R: Super Mega Death Rocket!- After a 10 second delay, Jinx fires a rocket that instantly kills all champions (including herself), minions, monsters, and epic monsters, allied or enemy. Jinx does not receive gold or experience for units killed from Super Mega Death Rocket, and her team does not receive any bonuses for epic monsters killed. Allied champions killed with this ability have their respawn timers reduced by 30/40/50%. Jinx can use Super Mega Death Rocket while dead, as long as it is off cooldown. Cooldown: 300/180/60 seconds


The point of these minor changes was to make Jinx more viable in the current meta, where survivability against assassins is imperative for marksmen. Reply with any changes you'd make!

Isn’t Jinx the first to third highest picked and win rate adc? I don’t think she really needs anything.

Edit: Yup, just checked at every elo except Master and above, she is anywhere from 1st to 4th most played and 1st to 4 highest win rate adc with an above average win rate at them all too.
