Why EVERYONE Plays: Jinx | League of Legends

[@bmac4]

People talking Arcane here like they weren't around for when Jinx released with her own fucking theme song

[@Guille2033]

​@@TheHortoman Vi's didn't have a kickass music video tho

[@lukasinkovec]

Jinx appeal is not solely based on Arcane. She was the first champ who got a complete music video on launch which has hundreds of millions of views by itself. "Get Jinxed" instantly positioned her to be great.

[@PowerEd8]

And she is the face of Wild rift

[@JonathanScarlet]

and while it's likely insubstantial to people who never cared for pro play, seeing players like Rekkles near-instantly pop off with her as soon as she was playable certainly helped.

[@danielferrieri7434]

After Arcane, The Amount of Jinx players skyrocketed.

[@aabeeek]

Just wait until season 2 drops and she receives the fattest buffs this game has ever seen. The amount of people playing her will triple.

[@Yeca6165]

Pun intended?

[@Io-ik4yv]

And they proceed to throw the game without knowing basic lol knowledge and have their fragile main character syndrome get rekted. Seriously dont join comp and stick to qp you weaboos

[@jinxgobrr]

As an otp, it was hard when Arcane droped cuz all of a sudden you have to fight for 1st pick and pray to be able to pick her... Those were dark times

[@ChocoEarly1530]

"skyrocketed" I see what you did there buddy

[@Minifeta]

The music video sold her really well back in the day ngl. Love playing Jinx, IE + Runaans will forever be one of the most satisfying things in the game

[@SaiyanGamer95]

Adding Tiamat made it even more fun.

[@Darkloid21]

The safety is part of why I play Jinx a lot. Also her ability to pivot from long range poke to chain gunning and shredding their team is great too. She’s fair and fun and will always be my fav.

[@PowerEd8]

And she quite balanced, with her zero dashes Lucian and Samira eat her alive if they get close early, but if Jinx is peeled for later on Sht is about to "get exited!"

[@inhinh7017]

As a hypercarry , i wouldnt say that jinx is “fair” with enchanter she became hard to counterplay but yeah way easier to deal with compare to lucian/sivir

[@nu_kercat1]

Jinx is surprisingly well-designed for a champ who came out so early in league's history

[@CorruptionAura]

Well, surprisingly many champions in more recent years (in league years) are so poorly designed in comparison to old champions.

[@zwiebeldogs]

I still sometimes count Jinx as a new champion. She really isn't anymore haha

[@ArchyPoppy]

August makes the best champs fr fr

[@Helenapriits]

I love her passive...sooo freakin fun and fitting for the character aswell cause everytime I get my passive rolling with her I get greedy for more kills....I start running around carelessly , shotting everything I can then I am finally being taken down by somebody for being reckless

-simple kit, you get what you see unlike modern champions -high carry potential, but also unlike modern champions, poses high risk due to no defense options -arcane -works well with almost any support what more you can ask for from an adc like jinx?

[@homyachock]

She is also never weak. Either average or above average

[@kinwong5491]

Jinx is my first adc but jhin will be my favourite, she lack the classiness jhin has

[@christopherwilliamsA]

Hardcore Jhin main, but Jinx taught me everything i needed to be good at him: spacing, range controll, and tempo are big parts of both of their kits. Their crowd-controll W and E fulfill similar roles, and Jhin's speed boost on crit/root follows the same principles mentioned for Get Excited.

[@guifdcanalli]

Jinx is just the original late game monster, eveyone fears Veigar or Aurelion Sol late game cuz they scale, but Jinx didnt need crazy scales to be crazy strong, the combination of long distance autos, AOE damage and a dose of cocaine levels of AS every time she has a kill makes every team fight from mid game forward a nightmare, one single mistake from your frontline there is nothing you can do to stop a 1000 movement speed jinx with 700 range and 3.0 AS to melt the rest of you

[@flameofthegame]

Jinx is probably the best adc to play if you want to learn how the role works even tho she's maybe harder to play optimally than champions like MF ,she's up there with the adc's that can go even in lane without needing to be a god at it ,especially for beginners she's just so well made ,coming from a Thresh main .

[@biglittleboy9827]

Harder ? I mean, she have 725 range. I don't see how she is harder. In fact she is the easiest because of her range.

[@carlosdumbratzen6332]

Jinx, the only champion I ever put real money in, because I couldnt wait to play her when she came out. Get Jinxed was such a good promo move amd also delivered some really great music.

[@torri776]

A much needed 13.5 minute episode explaining how easy and reliable Jinx is to play. She's basically the best beginner Damage focused ADC (Ashe is utility first).

[@Sasuke547]

“Ezreal is a generic blonde highschool type” 😂

[@lillyie]

his design is literally anime protagonist. even his voicelines show it. he even has a skinline where it's a classic anime highschool and he gets the legendary

[@FranciscoJG]

He's too hetero to say "twink" I suppose

[@NormalGayBro]

I thought he said generic OURAN highschool ???

[@jojotv9383]

Dont regret making Jinx to one of my mains alongside Zeri and Kogmaw. She plays so fluidly, so nicely and has a pretty safe laning phase. And the attack range is just gorgeous. Being a walking machine gun which shoots three rockets over a long distance is the coolest thing ever. (Yes I build Ruunans everytime)

[@andrewzheng4038]

fr I don't even really care if RFC or PD are better most of the time, the pure dopamine from getting triple explosions with runaans (or the potential to do so) outweighs everything else.

[@Peter-zg3em]

i don't want to tldr your vid but it's her passive on takedowns that really makes her popular. she's very satisfying to play. you feel legitimately unstoppable once she's online and you get one elim. she plays the game on fast forward.

[@FriendlyDoggo.]

'Ahri's popular because she's pretty' I felt that one. -Ahri main

[@anigodzapex9384]

People really forget what a nice and simple, but also Skill Expressive Kit she has. Very Safe in Lane, Sustain, Mobility, single Target Hard CC, Waveclear. A Jack of all Trades balanced around having Bad Base Stats and one of the Lowest Base Damages on Abilities off all Champion. One of the few, truly fair Champions with enough tiny Cheese to be fun!

[@FriendlyDoggo.]

@@anigodzapex9384 I really have way less fun on anyone copared to Ahri (e+flash my beloved)

[@anigodzapex9384]

@@FriendlyDoggo. Does actually interrupt Dashes. Not like the weird time frame, when riot forced her to be a Full Assassin (she always was a Mage first and Assassin second) and gave her more Base Stats and the E increased all her Damage. So she was a mindless hit E and one Shot or miss and do nothing Type of Champions. And then they realized giving her the Reset Cheese, but almost reverting everything back to the Jack of all Trades we know and love was the right choice. I mention this, because in this time, the E was so important it wasn't allowed to interrupt the dashes, wich made the Flash E engage way worse!

Make a video about Seraphine's current situation with her abnormal disparity between support and APC/MID playrates. Now that she's been made a viable support her playrate skyrocketed. Maybe it's an indicator she would be in much healthier spot if reworked to 100% support?

[@miguelcapetillo7160]

I didn't start playing League when Jinx was realesed, but... I became aware of League because of her ABSOLUTE BANGER music video when I saw it by chance some time after she came out. And when I started playing I became a FULL-ON JINX SIMP. The music video makes her look like the coolest thing ever. That and... Yeah... For me it's actually waifu > meta, straight on... I just love that in a game filled to the brim with anime cute girls and hot babes, a character like Jinx exists; with no curves or bumps to speak about, and still rocking her punkish look (that leaves her... Basically half-naked...) with no hesitation. That and the color palette of bright pinks, blue... black... her pale skin on top of skinnish body. She just owns it, man. And I know she's just a quirky crazy girl that likes blowing stuff up because it's fun and mini-gun goes brrrrr... ... and Jinx in Arcane (whomst I also ADORE) is OBJECTIVELY a more nuanced, carefully-crafted, interesting character... And her character design is argueably also better... But... Idk, I still appreciate the character that Jinx is in League, even if it is less 3Dimensional. Also also: I love her gameplay, it's so simple and straight forward... But it's just so fun to play, no mechanics, no 15,668 dashes, no insane gimmicks, no BS, just a good ol' base marksman with some small spice to her gameplay and enough personality to make her stand out. Back then she used to be my MAIN main. When I got into League I remember playing a lot of Jinx, Rumble, Ezreal, Annie and what not... But while playing Jinx I discovered I loved playing the ADC / Marksman - type gameplay... Later on I would transition to playing Kindred as my MAIN main, since... while I do love playing the marksman's playstyle, I F**KING HATE playing bot lane (don't know how to farm; hate being a glass cannon and also target #1, 2 & 3... for one-shoting by the enemy assassin, or fighter, or diver, or skirmisher, or vanguard, or... honestly, at this point: enchanter; hate being ganked by the enemy, jg, roamed by the enemy mid, and TP'd into by the enemy top 5 minutes into the game; hate sharing XP and having to rely on my sup). So I picked a marksman design for the jg and then transitioned to focus my games and champion pool more on the jg. But, still... I play Jinx here and there from time to time even to this day. ALL of her skins are awesome. I cannot think of a single one that is not at least "Good". Also also also: Arcane. So... Yeah... I F**KING ❤ JINX!

[@CheeseWedge056]

My first intro to league was playing get jinxed on Osu! And now Im a jinx otp

[@Gaukas05]

i actually find jinx a really cool character, because of her story in arcane, makes playing feel more "alive" if you get what i mean, its just incredibly funy playing a champ with deep story. Seraphine is a champ i dont like at all and think should not have been released, she has no lore and was just made to promote kda. EDIT: im sorry for mistaking seraphines lore, i didnt know that they fixed it, because i recently watched a lot of "hate" videos

Jinx best girl played her for so many years. Was a main top and when I tried her I swap to adc just to play her non stop for how fun she was, is and will be [1.6M pts rn ]

[@zidaryn]

Her kit is also a great example of an ADC's kit. She doesn't have any "non-adc" gimmicks that you have to learn. IE: With Ez you need to learn about his blinks and buffering. Trist you need to know how to use her jump and figure out her ult is a get off me tool. Kai'sa you gotta learn about assassin's. None of that with Jinx. She's a pure ADC.

[@henriquepacheco7473]

There's an adc in every lane in the average match and adc players will still tell you their champions are weak. Edit: also, there are five. Twisted fate is run toplane with a crit marksman build.

Apparently, Ezreal is surprisingly popular among fandom writers. Specifically, the ones geared towards BL pairings especially after the rise of "Heartsteel" group. Sett being a close second and had always been due to the non-canonical interaction with Aphelios.

Well, Heartsteel is the gayest group of all possible gayest groups. The picked chars, who are quite fitting in popular gay tropes and designed them a really gay costumes.
