Yay or nay? I just seen her stomp two games in a row.

Yeah she's strong. You will regret feeding her. But she feels teammate dependent; I don't like playing her. Has strengths and weaknesses.

Weak level 1-5, steep powercurve , she is stuck at basically 0 damage until a while later

she needs at least bf to do some decent damage

easy to dodge her W and evade her E

her R has a really obvious animation and a giant volcano thing, easy to flash or get out of the way

extremely scary late game

amazing range after maxing Q

her W scales pretty well, acts as a secondary CC

her passive gives her huge cleanup janitor potential

her ult is an execute

== Tl;DR she's fair.

I main her right now. She has very strong strengths (range, split-pushing, hard-cc, snipe potential, good AD scalings) with some not too hard hitting weaknesses (mobility, easily trapped, no hard harass).

She has one of the best win rates in the game right now, and she's the ADC 2nd most likely to get a pentakill.

Is she OP? Not really. As long as Lucian's kit still exists, I don't think there will be any justice in nerfing her. But she's really good.

her strength is range and high damage output

her weakness is no mobility

avoid the former by getting up in her face or avoiding her entirely

abuse the latter by forcing her into unequal engagements (1v2, 2v3, etc) and landing skillshot CC on her since she has no 'o shit' button.

as a champion she's fine. she can be a hypercarry if she gets fed, but as with any squishy champion you can still beat her with burst damage and CC.

I used to main her and I had been stomping lanes 36/16 W/L in normals but people say normals are for retards so maybe my win rate is "fake".

Pros

  • Tower pusher
  • Good splitpush with passive
  • Godlike teamfight mid/late game
  • 700 Range with maxed Q
  • Has a lot of CC (slow, snare)
  • Ult is based on max missing health (execution)
  • Passive is OP for chasing

Cons

  • No (reliable) escape but you can use E to snare
  • Dodgable W and E (slows and snares)
  • Kinda weak early game
  • Extremely, seriously, really, goddamn vulnerable to assassins especially Rengar, Fizz. Sorry lol because I just don't know how to play against Rengar as Jinx. I just get deleted...
  • Somewhat skillshot reliant
  • Team dependent (desperately needs peel, but in Silver your team thinks that you're always mispositioning so they report you instead Kappa)

She's just if your team knows how to peel, and if you can position well enough. Jinx + Janna = Perf.
