yes the 500 range sivir totally counters an ADC that gets range passively, yeah you can spell shield her W and E and R but its not like youre going to out poke her or outall-in her as sivir lol

honestly hard cc kills jinx, something like leona, blitz, thresh, alistar if they get on jinx she wont be able to get them off due to her lack of mobility, i guess varus is good as an adc to go against her because of his slow and ult but i dunno

Hard CC and a decent amount of damage. Or just a little bit of sustain. I beat Jinx as Graves/Sona, with me on Graves.

She's not really an early game champion.

She's a counterpick for low mobility champions that don't have a huge earlygame ( Draven).

Actually what really counters Jinx is the support. The ADC doesn't matter that much. I mention Sivir in particular because I'm facing a lot of them lately and they can just Spellshield your Flame Chompers!. You can't really put distance between you both without help of your support as she has more MS than you. It's the kind of matchup that tests your stutter-stepping skills.

Thresh, Blitzcrank and Leona are very obvious examples of what can really punish Jinx. She's just like a Varus in that sense, no real disengage tool besides walking away and hoping they step on your traps and don't root/stun you.

I would've thought someone like caitlyn could beat her in a more of a passive sense with that extra range and all but then again she has that bloody rocket launcher,would corki be good against her seeing as he has a burst and is really strong with leona?

Yes, Corki would be another huge counter. His Q hurts a whole damn lot and he can easily get in your face with his W and Leona.

If you just kill Jinx a couple of times she has a hard time trying to make a comeback.

+1 for kill lanes/CC.

Her laning is a lot like Caitlyn but unlike Caitlyn she has no escape so she's pretty ****ed if people get to her.

To answer simply:
any champ that has CC preferably more than one with quick CD....
on the other hand Tanky ADCs do well against her....
Jinx is super slow and all you have to do is take advantage of her....
reducing her atk speed will cripple her.... also effective is silencing her... I believe the only way better to shut her down is to snare her or knock her up basically any move you can frequently cancel her abilities with.... her cross map ult is counterable with items that block next ability and champs with passives to block ability damage.....
Items: frozen heart or any armor and atk speed slows can be devastating to jinx.... basically she is just like any ranged ADC... they all go down with CC's
yi is actually less squishy than her.... she is unbelieveably slow so just use your imagination!
