Lien Quan Mobile hotfix May 22: Urgently reduces Jinna’s power

Update Lien Quan Mobile on the morning of May 22, 2026, officially deploying the additional hotfix without interruption. High rank players need to update immediately to avoid losing rank!

The biggest highlight in this morning’s Lien Quan Mobile update is the emergency reduction of Jinna’s power after this general “made waves” after only a few days of being strongly buffed/reworked. At the same time, fix the Shop interface display error.

1. The reason Garena had to urgently hotfix Jinna

Jinna just received a major rework in the 5v5 Festival version (reduced internal stack from 4 → 3, added flexible surfing mechanism, increased damage reduction ult…). This general quickly became a “monster” in mid lane and roam, his win rate and pick rate skyrocketed, and was even considered a “game bug” in some ranks. Garena was forced to intervene urgently after just a few days to keep the meta balanced.

Jinna nerf details (expected according to hotfix May 22):

• Reduced internal damage (enhanced attacks) and related magic damage.
• Slight damage reduction on ult (Exuberance) or stack adjustment.
• Can further reduce healing or movement effects when using empowered attacks.
• Other stats (1-2 surfing mechanism) remain the same to still be playable, but no longer “champion” early game and teamfight.

Fix Shop error: Fixed the error in displaying the item purchase interface, helping you avoid lag when purchasing items in the middle of a fight.

Update time: On the morning of May 22, the update will not be interrupted (recommended to update early to avoid losing rank).

2. 5v5 Festival Meta Table after hotfix (prediction & analysis)

Tier List of Champions after Jinna nerf (May 22, 2026)

Quick review:

• Jinna is still playable but fell from S+ to A+/A. Still strong in roaming and poke, but no longer able to “kill” mid lane or carry teamfights easily. Suitable pick when the opponent does not counter hard (for example, not countered by Tulen/Gildur).
• Gildur continues to dominate (has been slightly nerfed before but is still too strong).
• Jungle and Top Lane have little influence, still Volka + Badang/Toro meta.
• Gunner: Violet is still the top choice after the previous buff.

3. Predict the impact on Rank & How to play after the hotfix

Master Rank – Challenger: Jinna drastically reduces picks/bans. Those who are main Jinna need to switch to Gildur/Liliana or practice counters (Tulen, Aya). The meta will lean more towards control and sustain champions.

Lower Rank: Jinna is still “good” at Diamond and below because players don’t counter it well. But the win rate will decrease significantly.

Team Comp recommends:

• Poke + Control: Gildur + Dolia + Violet.
• Strong Dive: Volkath jungle + Toro + Arum.
• Counter Jinna: Choose a champion with hard CC or fast burst (Tulen, Raz).

Instructions for building & Jinna gems after nerf (temporary):

• Gem: Blood Sword + Speed ​​Supply + Magic Armor Penetration (or Insight if poked).
• Equipment: Witch Shoes → Staff → Crystal Book → Ghost Armor → Lunar Mask → Golden Orb.
• Style: Focus on farming + roaming early, avoid all-in solo kills like before. Use the glide mechanism to kite better.

Conclude

Lien Quan Mobile Hotfix 5/22 shows that Garena is reacting quickly to keep the 5v5 Festival meta healthy. Jinna does not completely “die” but just returns to a more balanced level. The meta will be more stable, prioritizing team champions and positioning skills.
