Jinx is strongest early (52.4% before 25 minutes) and falls off, so survive the early game and the matchup swings your way. Playing the matchup itself: Jinx's minigun takes time to ramp up. If you see her poking with rockets try to jump on her and burst her down. Jinx's ultimate does less damage the closer you are to her. Jinx's snare grenades have a long cooldown and are her primary means of protecting herself. If she misses with them she will have a hard time escaping if engaged upon. Pick a counter from the list above, respect Jinx's power spikes, and track its cooldowns so you only commit to trades when its key abilities are down. Counter data updates automatically every patch.
