What Makes This Skin Special

Let's talk about what makes Crime City Jinx worth your RP. At 975 RP, you're getting a relatively cheap skin with decent quality visuals, sometimes even some new animations or effects.

Here's what you get with Crime City Jinx: ✓ Brand new visual effects that add serious flair to your abilities ✓ Fresh animations that make Jinx move in new, thematic ways ✓ A custom recall animation that's worth showing off before you head back to base ✓ New voice lines that add depth and storytelling to the skin's theme

Unlike some skins that come with a rainbow of chromas, Crime City Jinx keeps it focused with just the base design. So sadly, no chroma options here.

One thing to keep in mind: this skin is available through the loot system. So if you're the type to save your RP, you might get lucky with a hextech chest or event orb. But don't count on it - if you really want this skin, buying it directly is your best bet.
