Teamfight Tactics – TFT: Jinx, the weakest 4 gold champion in patch 10.16

Say no too much formation Gladiator – Gunner is the strongest team Truth Arena before the mid-season update. Not only in terms of race – the system alone, the skills of the generals in this squad also work together too perfectly. You have Blitzcrank that kills 1 target, Cho’Gath and Miss Fortune dealing AoE damage, Jinx then play the role of clearing the battlefield. Gladiator – Gunner then was the perfect squad in the true sense of the word.

However, after the mid-season update with Cho’Gath and Miss Fortune being removed from the game, Gladiators – Gunners in general and Jinx in particular were too weak. There is a feeling that the Gladiator – Gunner squad loses half of its power even though you play not too different from the previous version. Main Riot Mortdog – Team Leader who designed the Teamfight Tactics gameplay – must also admit this.

Riot Mortdog: “Jinx okay buffs 5 more AD and everyone complains that she will be too strong. However, when I look at the stats, Jinx is the worst of the 4 money champions. The thing is, that doesn’t make Jinx a weak champion even if the stats are bad. Jinx is having issues with the current meta game and players have to roll more to get this unit 2 stars or more.”

“I think Jinx himself is a good champion so there is no need for direct buffs anymore. Instead we will focus on upgrading the support units for this champion, maybe buffing Gladiators in We have to do this very carefully, the whole team wants the squad around Jinx to be stronger, but we don’t plan to buff him directly.”

Basically, Jinx before and after the mid-season update did not change too much, this is still an extremely strong floor cleaner champion. What makes Jinx in particular and the lineup around her weaker is that other powerful champions like Miss Fortune, Cho’Gath have been eliminated. Maybe in the next version Riot Games will buff more Gladiators, even some Rebel champions to make Jinx-using squads a bit stronger.
