One of the hardest lanes for Jinx, but it's winnable, he will poke you down consistently with Q's. Just try to farm, don't bother trying to Zap [W] for poke he will just Arcane Shift away. Only use Super Mega Death Rocket [R] if you're sure his Arcane Shift is down.

Introduction

Hi! I'm Noah, or as more people in LoL know me as, 'Kinky Jinxy'. I'm currently Platinum and working my way up the leagues! I feel it's my duty to help you learn the ways of my favorite champion, Jinx! Now jump on your rocket, and fly your way into battle because it's time to GET JINXED!

+ Up to 130% bonus attack speed on her mini-gun with maxed out Switcheroo! [Q]
+ AoE (Area Of Effect) Crits!

+ Global execute with her ultimate, Super Mega Death Rocket! [R].
+ Can immobilize up to 3 champions for 1.5 seconds with Flame Chompers! [E]
+ Can easily chain kills with Get Excited! [Passive]
Jinx is an intense hyper-carry.

Cons:

+ Nearly useless if she falls behind on farm.

+ Countered hard by Sivir and especially Draven.
