Gypsylord with context on the tentative Jinx PBE nerfs

I'm a Jinx main and I'll share my thoughts on this. I've been maining jinx for a long time back now, and I've always felt she has been a strong pick. I feel that this nerf will not greatly affect Jinx's gameplay, as what makes her so powerful is the utility from her passive and the fact she can dish out 110% Crit AoE damage from 700 Range in team fights, and can easily sweep up Aces in team fights. However, with this change, she will have less Team Fight AoE Damage, and casting her ult into a 5 man CC'ed team is no longer a good choice. The only way you would even ult in a team fight if you were disconnected from your team somehow, then that itself is already a bad jinx player. But hey, she still has those massive crib rockets in the team fighting, her ult didn't do that match but it will slightly decrease her teamfigthing potential. Her ult was usually a deciding factor for me for winning those post-6 bot fights. You'd trade with the enemy ad carry, you'd both get fairly low, and then you can pop your multi right into their face for a clean execute, now Jinx has no chance of doing that, the new damage is insanely low, you'd rather have a LeBlanc standing there and putting in an auto attack than casting your ulti. She will lose a lot of 1v1 potential and no longer has a real way of instantly executing an enemy. I see why they made these changes, I think they are somewhat reasonable. Her multi, should be used as a long range snipe, not a melee range nuke to blow them up once they get low. I'm not a fan of the change, but I think it's somewhat reasonable and fair. This makes her somewhat require more skill now, as she has no choice but to position very well or she will be punished by it, and landing those long range rockets will have the same satisfying feel. Overall, I personally think it's a bit too extreme (really riot, 25+(0.1) AD, I think it's a little bit too extreme, considering it is an ultimate ability) but yeah, changes are somewhat fair and reasonable, I think they should rethink it a little bit and maybe add a little bit of the scaling and flat AD back, 25 is way too low..... Good day err body :)
