project jinx is honestly very disappointing

the pbe preview shows her with only dark purple colours and effects, she visually lacks her own personality.

it honestly looks like you took some bits from odyssey jinx and slapped project vi's helm on her and smothered her in purple.

i would have much rather seen project jinx as a sort of "what if she was part of the same line as project ashe but instead of forming a resistance she just outright went off the rails and did her own thing"

Jinx is awful, the visor is not PROJECT rather "superhero-esk." Her stomach looks exposed (I think that's supposed to be armor) but this just screams "not PROJECT" and it just looks like she is wearing tight pants and rubber boots. At least on the splash art you can see the knee caps. This is not the tactical cyborg suits the rest of PROJECT wears.

Over all the whites and bright "PROGRAM" armor pieces are the biggest eyesore for me. The Visors coming off for all of them are a huge turnoff as well. I don't think Jinx can be saved, but at least Akali and Irelia can.

PROJECT is defined by awesome silhouettes and the neon hard light accent pieces.

Don't worry, not like she won't get another skin in like 8 months or so :L

I don't think her personality even fits the PROJECT: motif.

Her character outside of Star Guardian is so Chaotic Neutral. All she wants to do is blow shit up and laugh. She has nothing to gain or to lose being a part PROJECT. Everyone else has some kind of purpose for being PROJECT, gathering memories, taking down PROJECT, realizing their still human, surviving.

There's still destruction to be had, it's just with Jinx there doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason.

Besides wasn't SG Jinx the one who says, "Star Guardians Rule, PROJECT drools?" Like bro, do you even play you're own game?

i am so sad... i expected something a lot better, is like they dont even care about nothing . i was expecting something like that fanart with project jinx was fucking amazing everybody would love it but.. look at this its not my bby jinx its a disgusting shit. this skin looks like she is 15 and stupid doesnt shows her personality good. in the fanart project u can udnerstand she is older and crazy by the look in her eyes and smile , plus look at her legs and body its not a robot or human its just some fucking weird alien shit. i hope they will change this its horrible

You do realize ALL the project skins are mostly just shades of grey and another color? Yi is yellow/orange and grey, Ashe is blue and grey, Fiora is pink(?) and grey, Katarina is red(?) and grey, Vi is orange or gold and grey...

If you're gonna complain about one skin being mostly just shades of one color, might wanna look at all the other project skins, 'cause it's a running theme from the beginning.

this helmet doesn't fit at all, i don't get why she didn't get a see through visor like the others.

the hair also looks alot better in the splash art. it would be nice if the model could be adjusted.

the helmet/visor actually ruins the whole thing.

Lmao, I thought this was a Vi skin but with Lucian guns. It looks nothing like Jinx

she looks so... boring. that's not project..

GhostFern7/16/2019, 12:26:39 AM2 votes

She should've gotten a full tactical suit like akali or irelia. She looks too human for the skinline, the only parts of her that look robotic are the arms. I'm a jinx skin junkie, but this looks way too much like odyssey to justify the price tag. :/ That said, the visor and little jacket are cute.

Would look more like Jinx to me if that was the base, and then she'd modded and spray-painted the ever-living fuck out of it.....

Even if they changed the hair to white and gave her the clear film hood it would instantly look better

As it stands she looks more like shes trying to pull off a batman who laughs facemask with half a project skin, its like a new guy got into the art team and didnt know what project was so he just went with cyberpunk and normal jinx clothes with a darker color scheme. At the very least she should be completely decked out in machinery from the neck down to fit the skin line, otherwise im just gonna call this skin Battle Boss Reject Jinx

when I pictured project jinx year ago I thought of something cool, a legendary skin with very cool sfx and fucking crazy slash art well now I am disappointed as hell gotta change my name

Ha! https://twitter.com/notquitefrodo/status/1151574039711764480 It is indeed just like Project: Jhin. and they did indeed go the route of her not being crazy yet. That was really the only two ways I could see it going, lol. Either she was crazy already and voluteered, or volunteering makes her crazy. (click the picture/link for her bios, its a twitter post with all of them)

i think its a pretty cool skin, not my favourite of hers and not really on project vayne level cool but ill still buy it

They chosen wrong champs for Arcade skins and now Project, idk they are surely disappointing us.

DUDE BRO7/17/2019, 6:37:34 AM1 votes

She's the only one in the entire skinline with goofy colored hair and lots of exposed skin.

She looks more like a cyber punk than a cyborg assassin, or whatever they are.

As a Jinx main I’ve been waiting for this skin for quite a while, and oh boy is it completely different than I expected. The model is so bad compared to the particles and it’s honestly quite sad. Whoever made the VFX is very talented but this model and splash is just awful (not saying they are poorly made but they are poorly designed). Comparing it to project Jhin, Ashe, or vayne, it looks like the absolute bottom of the barrel. Whoever made the models for Akali and Jinx, please replace them.

atleast jinx is getting a skin.... cries in kassadin

My main tweak would be to cover up Jinx's stomach. I don't think Jinx needs to wear crop tops in a majority of her skins. The jacket can stay because it is cool and nice touch. The hair is cool too.

As many have said, it doesn't feel like a PROJECT skin. To me, it just feels like some weird futuristic superhero/villain instead of a PROJECT skin.
