I don't understand why so many people don't like this skin. I am so happy that jinx has a new skin yet I see people say things like "Riot needs to make a new jinx skin". "This one sucks." seriously? I don't even know where to begin. If you don't like the skin don't buy it. I understand that everyone has their own opinion andJinx hasn't gotten a skin since release so people where expecting a really good skin ( which I think this is I loveeee it) but it kills me as a Jinx main to see this skin get so much hate.

I really like the skin. it fits Jinx very well, looks great, the effects are cool (I especially love the explosion effects on Fishbones and her ult, they remind me of the Wind Waker explosion particles, and the splash art manages to be both awesome-looking and hilarious at the same time. Don't know what all the hate's about.

I bought Jinx just for this skin, I can't wait until it's released! The design team did a fantastic job!

I personally am one against the skin , it's nothing against the skin. It's not a bad skin, I was just hoping for something a little better.

I've been waiting all day in hopes the make it available just so I can buy it.

I think its great.

There was a lot of fan made skin ideas that players were hoping for I believe, which is probably where the negative opinion is coming from.

I love Jinx. I main Jinx. Jinx is easily my favorite champ. What bothers me about this skin is that it's her first since release, and it's a holiday skin. As someone else mentioned, there are numerous good skin ideas for Jinx floating around, that actually capitalize on her character (instead of pandering to a holiday crowd for an agonizingly obvious cash grab), and Riot ignored all of these. Think Spellthief Lux, Reverse Annie, Pool Party Ziggs, Aether Wing Kayle, Blackthorn Morgana.... skins that provide a new an interesting take on a character while still not deviating from the identity that Riot claims is so central to their design. What the hell does Chinese New Year have to do with Jinx? The only connection they could think of was that she blows stuff up? Really?

I don't claim to speak for all Jinx players, or even people dissatisfied with this skin. Ultimately, people have different tastes and it's up to each of us to decide what we like and don't like. I just can't stomach the idea that her first skin, after nearly a year and a half, is a themed holiday (read: it's going into the vault soon too, so: temporary) skin, that only loosely makes sense for her as a character. Sigh, sometimes I just don't understand Riot's thinking. Is getting money really more important than creating interesting, sensical lore?

Anyway, there's my two cents. Let the arguing/flaming/'I disagree because...' begin.

I'm tempted to buy Jinx just to get this skin; I think it is really well done.

the skin would be perfect for me without that horrendous green streak in her hair.

I love it, I want it so bad qq.

I like it but I'm always nitpicking one little detail for any skin. It's normal. Doesn't mean I wont buy it!

I wish they toned down the bright green streak a little but that's it! Not much of a complain...

People will whine when the skin doesn't match what they personally want.

Very nice skin if I say so myself.

i dont like the way she looks in it, but what i do love is the spell animation effects. those look so cool, and i also already have the RP to buy the skin

I liked it after they took away the splash art boobjob and gave her a dragon tattoo.

I agree

The ONLY problem is that her two guns clash. Their colors are too similar while being too obviously different.

Other than that it's amazing (which is good, because her release skin is trash).

Sukishoo1/30/2015, 2:25:01 AM1 votes

I think it's amazing. They needed to do a bit more to the hair though in the splash, it came out a bit weird cause of those wraps.

Bleediss1/30/2015, 2:33:05 AM1 votes

I main Jinx too and I think it's awesome.

And people just enjoy complaining about what they don't personally get.

It's like baking some soup they've always loved and you forget some cheese or basil and they will complain about it so much to where you want to kill yourself because people will complain about anything, if it's not what they want.

I think it looks fine, but remember that we are talking opinions. Essentially you are countering people saying they don't like it with "well, I like it, therefor it is good".
