Shortly after the new Marksman type champion was announced by Riot, a champion spotlight is available, presenting all the skill of Jinx, the Loose Cannon.
Jinx, the Loose Cannon, will be the new addition to League of Legends. She is a Marksman (AD Carry) type of champion who relies on movement speed, crowd control and huge bursts in order to defeat her enemies.
Her skill set includes:
- Passive: Get Excited - Jinx gains a massive movement speed boost whenever a champion or tower that she's recently attacked is killed or destroyed. This boost decays over time.
- Q: Switcheroo - Jinx swaps weapons:
- Fishbones, the rocket launcher: Jinx's basic attacks consume mana but gain increased range and deal increased damage to her target and nearby enemies.
- Pow-Pow, the minigun: Jinx's basic attacks grant attack speed for a short duration, stacking up to three times. Stacks fall off one at a time once Jinx stops attacking.
- W: Zap - Jinx snaps off an electrical blast that deals damage to and slows the first enemy hit.
- E: Flame Chompers - Jinx throws out a line of snare grenades that detonate after a few seconds, lighting nearby enemies on fire. Enemy champions who walk over a grenade will cause it to detonate early, rooting them briefly.
- R: Super Mega Death Rocket - Jinx fires a global rocket that gains damage as it travels. The rocket explodes on the first enemy champion hit, dealing damage to the target and all nearby enemies based on a percentage of their missing health.
Thanks to her passive boost of speed when killing enemies and towers Jinx will be extremely efficient chasing fleeing enemies after a teamfight. In addition with her ultimate she will be able to apply global presence and affect fights on the other side of the map. Thanks to her Q-spell, Jinx will be able to maximize her damage output depending on the distance that her enemies are. Last but not least, the champion seems to be hooked with variety of funny lines and taunts towards other champions.
