Hello there Ladies & Gentlemen, for tonight's entertainment. I will be bringing you a detailed guide to the weird and wonderful world of Jinx. All that you will need to know about Jinx is if it seems like it's a stupid idea, I assure you it's most certainly not. She will snowball from botlane and destroy everything in her path and run away laughing herself into a frenzy. I expect that you have some sense and aren't just going to use the cheat sheet for all your answers. Below are a variety of thoughts, explanations, tricks & tips as well as my belief on how to play Jinx correctly. You may disagree with some of my choices in this guide from how I participate in vision or how I choose to play teamfights but I am happy to discuss this with you as their is always room for improvement and this can translate into my own guide.

Pros

+ Great Zoning Abilities + Great Waveclear + Attack Speed Steroid + Executing ultimate + Strong Crowd Control + Easy To Farm With In Lane + Long Range Harassing

Jinx has a lot of positive attributes in her kit and I believe her positive aspects completely outshine all of her negative ones. If you are competent enough on this champion and play around her lack of mobility you will find bot lane very easy to carry from. With time and dedication to her this will be null and void at a later skill level thanks to her amazing passive Get Excited! which helps increase her mobility.

Cons

+ Has lack of mobility without her passive + struggles in early 1 v 1's without her support alongside her + Mana sustain/cost issues (E Nerfs)

Unfortunately Jinx does have a few Cons though, but these are easily solved with experience on the champion. What I find is her lack of mobility is the only con which I still find hard to overcome after the amount of games I've played with her but this can be fixed with positioning and map awareness of the enemy carries & assassins. Also make sure you take focus of your own damage as you have unexpected DPS and you should survive most teamfights by overextending for your passive. Another good point to make would be to just learn to only use your Zap! and your Flame Chompers! when absolutely needed this will also help with keeping your mana in a healthy reserve now that your mana cost has increased on chompers. When fighting 1 v 1's without your support be wary of landing your skills as it's harder, understanding that animation times can be the difference between a kill or your death and understanding this will teach you how to play passively.

Flash
// Travels your champion a short distance in a blink!
Flash is indisputably the best summoner spell in the game, when you have the ability to blink across an area of the map it allows you to use it very aggressive to chase down enemy champions through the jungle but also defensively to dodge enemy skillshots and CC and escape over walls, this is why it's imperative on Jinx as she is an immobile marksman.


Heal
// Heal yourself and the nearest ally for a portion of your health. And gain a small movement speed buff temporarily.
// This is a great summoner spell on Jinx and for every other ADC you will ever play having the ability to help sustain trades in botlane as well as save your support is crucial to win your lane. It also helps prevent being fully bursted by assassins. This is a must have on Jinx again and it's imperative you use this summoner spell alongside flash.


Barrier
// Grants a temporary shield scaling on your level.
// This spell would only be the alternate choice for heal on Jinx and it's not really advisable then. Barrier isn't as useful for her as it doesn't permanently give you health like Heal would and it's only used to prevent a large burst of damage from a champion like Yasuo & Orianna. The only reason you should ever take this spell is if your mid for whatever reason.

Essentially I'd just stick with Flash & Heal when playing marksman champions, especially on Jinx!!!

• Fury : 4/4:
  Fury is a great mastery for Jinx the extra 4% attack speed helps her attack speed passive scale faster as well as allowing easier last hitting and more sustained damage onto your opponent.
  
  

  ---

  
  
• Fresh Blood : 1/1:
  A great mastery that synergies so well with the doran's blade you should of bought for your laning phase, being able to harass extra damage on someone in early is always a bonus. This mastery scales so well into the late game giving you a lot more initial damage on your first auto attacks on fresh targets (think j4 passive) and it allows a lot more for you that feast will by the end of the game.
  
  

  ---

  
  
• Vampirism : 5/5:
  2% Extra Lifesteal is good as a stat for jinx in the early, in theory it helps you in the sense you aren't forced to rush more lifesteal if you are behind so you can go for criticial damage or flat Attack damage to stay even.
  
  

  ---

  
  
• Bounty Hunter : 1/1:
  A interesting choice for a an ADC wouldn't you agree? this is personal choice I would rather have confidence im going to snowball and use this mastery that will enhance my damage by 1.5% for each unique kill i've gained across the enemy team. If you don't feel confident in using this mastery choose an alternate one from this branch but I find this will be the most useful for you.
  

  ---

  
  
• Battering Blows : 5/5:
  This mastery gives you 7% Armour penetration for no reason so it will scale very well with you in the early game to the late against strong tank champions like Amumu or Hecarim who may stack early armour against you quite early and stick to you to deal damage and give peel.
  
  

  ---

  
  
• Fervor of Battle : 1/1:
  This is Jinx's bread and butter mastery in my opinion this scales incredibly well with your kit as you deal a lot of critical damage you will now be able to rush an Infinity Edge and Phantom Dancer and be able to stack lots of damage extra with the fervor of battle giving you extra damage. On a sie note though most people take Warlord's Bloodlust for the increased sustain it can grant you it's personal choice again at this point if you find you struggle living take it as the alternate choice.

• Savagery: 5/5: Savagery is a important mastery in botlane the ability to deal extra damage to minions will help you with last hitting on your auto attacks granting an easier time for you in the laning phase from being stuck under tower trying to attempt to hit minions or simply pushing a wave in an aggresive demeanor.
  
  

  ---

  
  
• Secret Stash : 1/1 health regen is very important in your early game as with this lack of Lifesteal in the early game as you will be buying crit. The extra healing off these biscuits will provide further sustain. Also the slight mana increase from eating the biscuit can help with casting spells in dire situations.
  
  

  ---

  
  
• Merciless : 5/5: Dealing extra damage to your opponent when they are below 40% health is a very very important mastery this will allow you to burst assassin's down if they dive you and allow you to shred tanks easier when they are grasping for dear life. This is a extremely important mastery and provides much more utility for jinx that Meditation just learn to preserve your mana better.
  
  

  ---

  
  
• Dangerous Game : 1/1:Great mastery point to finish with for every champion. Survive a longer teamfight with this passive mastery will chain well with your passive allowing you to run around and cleaning up teamfights while surviving with a longer health bar for every kill you pick up. This is also a good mastery to ensure surviving early tower dives.
  

• Greater Quintessence of Attack Speed: We will begin by using 3x Attack Speed Quintessence's. These are my favorite choice on Jinx these are super cost efficient and attack speed scales amazing on jinx's early game I find the ability to use your Switcheroo rockets faster will net you free harass, and thus ensuring you get the kills to snowball yourself. I also find it imperative to helping you stack your passive on your Pow-Pow, the Minigun also so your AA's scale before you Switcheroo! to the rockets.
  
  

  ---

  
  
• Greater Mark of Attack Damage:Next you should be using 8x attack damage marks, this is the best cost efficient form of gaining attack damage in your rune setup which is imperative as a marksman as it allows easier last hitting which will help you in your laning phase. Keeping your creep score above your opponent can sometime nullify any kills they may earn in lane, make sure you focus on CS if you are behind.
  
  

  ---

  
  
• Greater Mark of Critical Chance: We will now use 1 Mark of the 1% crit rune. I love to use this one rune as it's a nice thing to have for unexpected slight bursts in your laning phase it's completely luck based but it has come up in some situations where I've survived 1 v 1 situations on Jinx] because of this rune giving my the crit chance to survive.
  
  

  ---

  
  
• Greater Glyph of Magic Resist: We will be using 9x Magic resist glyphs as this is an important decision on Jinx I find her hardest support matchups usually are burst mages like Annie/ Karma so having the magic resist to survive the extreme poke/harass of a enemy champion like Sona will be more useful. You may also choose to use scaling magic resist for half or all of the glyphs maybe even doing a 5/4 ratio. Using 9x Scaling MR Glyphs are just as useful but it's down to personal choice I find it's best for the pre level 6 to have the higher base MR.
  
  

  ---

  
  
• Greater Seal of Armor: The 9x armour seals are also a standard on every marksman. Some people may mix this up with some health seals but considering your laning phase will be vs. the other adc it is more benefitial that you use armour as this is more than justified for you to use on Jinx.

Although most people will buy a Scrying Orb on a marksman champion such as Jinx I am one of the very few people that prefers the upgraded trinket --> Greater Stealth Totem. I find this to be much more efficient throughout the game for an ADC and it will help to prevent yourself keeping space in your inventory for a pink ward. The ward will regenerate giving you multiple uses when you are farming, taking objective control, sieging and giving yourself time to escape incoming enemies.

Scrying Orb has a momentary use of giving you slight vision of a part of the map and giving you a mini ward at level 9. The only advantage to this vision item is that it can be used at a safe distance of objectives. This for jinx is a good thing to have when facechecking dark parts of the map by herself. But if you are smart enough and use the map to your advantage by keeping track of enemy movement and appearances on the mini map you shouldn't have a problem warding those spots over walls or using your abilities to scout these areas to facecheck.

This is an example from one of my ranked games, I was able to ward the most on my team although this was a short game (25-30 minutes) I was able to dominate half the enemy teams warding by myself nearly. This extra vision I granted for my team made us able to overtake the enemies amount of wards/vision.


I find that quite often the person in the team who has warded the most is myself this usually being outside of my support who is meant to do this the most. This is a good thing to take note of as a Jinx player. The difference between being a good mechanical player and a smart one is a huge gap. This is what differentiates a silver Jinx & A Platinum Jinx. The ability to ward the map and help with team safety and objective control. Having placed a ward has granted extra vision at objectives when attempting to steal or control the map, ensured your midlaner knows the botlane is roaming up towards them or maybe even allowed you to steal enemy jungle camps safely to deny the enemy jungler. You should make sure to ward efficiently and smart if you wish to jump divisions easier!


Some good tips would be to ward more often during your laning phase, it is important for you to buy wards before level 9 if you are able to before your upgrade. Picking up that extra pink ward and placing it effectively on the bottom side of the map may keep you alive in problematic matchups. For example an Evelynn or Rengar would be seeking to camp you due to her ability to burst you down and take use of the fact you have no built in escape without killing someone first. It is essential that you add vision to the map with Control Ward's this is how I win most of my early game matchups into bad counters. Here are the areas of the map you should be placing early pink wards for positive reinforcement for your team & your own lane.




Make sure to place your Greater Stealth Totem in one of these nifty locations on the map! Depending on which side you are playing on is where the placement may change. For example if you are on red side you will want to place protective wards on the side of the map you are playing on for incoming ganks in your own tri bush.

For more aggressive style pink wards place them in bushes in the enemy jungle that are primarily ignored by most players, when an enemy is pathing towards a camp or to lane they will go past these bushes and the pink ward will detect them and survive. Most players ignore certain bushes even when walking through them and the one behinds/near camps are usually ignored quite often the most. You should use this piece of knowledge to your advantage for cost efficient wards! Also you should not be afraid of using your ward for spying on dragon. Keeping A Greater Stealth Totem there just to force the enemy to kill the ward. It may alert you of their presence at the objective and if they back off it has served its purpose.




When placing wards from your Greater Stealth Totem you need to know the best places to place them for your team to grant the most usage from them. Below are images representing great spots for each side of the map your will play from.


Place wards in these areas when you are on the blue side pushing towards the red side of the map. Depending on objective timers and how far the minions/towers are pushed will differ in which area you place the wards.


Place wards in these areas of the map when you are on the red side pushing towards the blue side of the map. This is a good enough summary of deep wards and easy wards for you to place to protect yourself and your team no matter which side of the map you are playing on!







If you have to vs an enemy such as Evelynn while on the red side of the map this is a simple trick for you to detect her while she ganks your lane. Having the ability to detect her and she has no idea that she has been seen is great for your team allowing your jungler to come botlane for a counter gank. You may also want to focus her instantly for a quick 2 v 1 situation to catch her off guard this will net you that important free kill to help snowball you early on. If you are going to attempt this ward trick make sure you save yourself a Greater Stealth Totem charge and place it on the side of the wall closest to your tri-bush. Then with your Control Ward place it within vision proximity of your and this will grant vision of the stealthed enemy champion like Evelynn. The Control Ward acts like a pair of binoculars granting extra vision for the effects of your Greater Stealth Totem to extend across a larger distance and provide the ward with safety from being destroyed. This warding trick can also work with Shaco or Rengar depending if they gank from that area of the lane.

Berserker's Greaves will be the best boot choice as an ADC 90% of the time as you want to be able to achieve as much DPS as you can in the shortest amount of time possible. Having these boots will allow more auto attacks and thus being able to weave extra dps between your spells.

Infinity Edge is a great item for you to use on Jinx although just by itself it doesn't really offer you very much utility except the bonus critical hit damage. This item really shines the most later on in the match as the game progresses when being paired with it's auto attack counterparts like Phantom Dancer these two types of items paired up together will allow a great synergy of critical hit auto attacks and burst damage.

Runaan's Hurricane is a very important item for Jinx it allows her infinity edge to have much more practical use and it allows stronger teamfighting ability, there is reasoning on why I prefer to use this item over it's other counterparts this season like Phantom Dancer I Feel that it's passive is stronger as being creep blocked when tower diving or chasing down enemies will cost you plenty of kills and prevent further deaths so being able to wave clear even quicker while moving will increase your chance to escape. I also feel that for the difference in cost with the alternate attack speed items provides much better stats that scale on Jinx much better into your late game. Although I would recommend making a Second attack speed item after this in some cases you may be fine delaying that for some lifesteal first.

This item can be seen as the main alternative to Phantom Dancer and Rapid Firecannon but my preference lies in the situation. Dancer can provide you better 1 v 1 trades but shiv allows more aoe burst. This item is great on Jinx though as it's passive magic damage for waveclearing is brilliant. I recommend this highly as the better buy for Jinx if you want to have 2 different attack speed items to hyper scale your farming.

This should be your 4th/5th main item in your build unless you need to rush a last whisper stacking item. This is because the shield passive is a great utility for jinx allowing her to survive a lot of harass in team fights and trades, the ability to scale up your health with a shield to protect yourself from bursty assassins means you will outsustain everyone in a teamfight and be the last man standing. The reason this is usually superior on Jinx than the alternative lifesteal item Blade of the Ruined King is because the blade's passive isn't usually needed as much as what the Bloodthirster would provide you with. Bloodthirster would give you enough lifesteal stats and your crit items although with the new passive mastery of Warlord's Bloodlust can heal you when vsing champions, It no longer stacks on minions making it harder to sustain yourself without a lifesteal item. This isn't me telling you that situations may not arise where Blade of the Ruined King is a much more useful buy for you on Jinx so try to find a balance but most of the time you will be making a Bloodthirster as your main lifesteal item.

This is your armour and hp shredding item it's pretty self explanatory you want to be able to kill people stacking armour and health as fast as possible. This item does not have to be rushed if the enemy is not stacking early armour as Bloodthirster would be more useful beforehand in most situations to provide sustain in longer teamfights.

I usually find this to be the best choice for a defensive item giving a lot of utility with its skill of removing cc essentially a mini cleanse. The QSS is a great pick up ina lot of assassins matchups as well as champions with blinds/hard cc in the early game that will be focusing you such as Warwick & Malzahar suppressions. Be sure to make this item almost every game even if you are just buying it's first stage. Another good alternative would be Banshee's Veil as this prevents the CC hitting you in the first place and is great against certain skills such as Cho'Gath's knock up.

Jinx doesn't scale off ap except on her Flame Chompers! the only reason I would ever make this item is when you have to worry about a very fed assassin which would usually just be Rengar this is because when you zhonya's his cooldowns expire and you should have some back-up/reaction time from your team to survive and kill him.

Surprisingly this isn't a bad item choice on jinx as a 6th item the extra health gives you some survivability and it's passive is very useful if your team lacks crowd control. It allows you to stick to enemies you are chasing and it also allows you chain your Zap! & Flame Chompers! easier.

This is a great item for Jinx to prevent yourself from being poked down to half health before a teamfight even begins. A good example of this would be a stray Nidalee Javelin Toss which mid-late game could easily put you onto half health or lower. Alternatively this can also be substituted for a Spirit Visage if you just need higher magic resist and health scaling passive.

Early lifesteal isn't a bad choice on Jinx for extended teamfight compositions you may need a cheaper version of bloodthirster and sometimes making a early Bilgewater Cutlass will provide enoughs stats for you to survive until you are ready to finish this item. So don't be afraid to sometimes to make Blade of the Ruined King on Jinx as it does provide her with attack speed, a health shredding passive & a great active for self peel.

This item can be seen as an alternative to Statikk Shiv but my preference lies in the latter though. I find it much better to not make this item as it's passive is lackluster on Jinx compared to shiv the damage reduction is nice in 1 v 1 situations and the movement speed but the magic damage and utility shiv provides is much stronger now.

This item interesting and is pretty much again another Statikk Shiv the bonus of this item is the extended range it can provide but with Jinx you have your rockets for this so i feel it isn't needed as much. Although it isn't a bad buy on her it lies in personal preference you may enjoy making this item so give it a go!

Mortal Reminder is the alternative last whisper upgrade. The bonus points of making this on jinx is to stop immense healing against certain champions. I would recommend picking this up with champions such as Swain, Dr. Mundo & Vladimir start appearing to be a problem.

This item isn't really viable on Jinx like it would be on say Lucian the armour pen may seem a nice statistic but the item doesn't suit her kit, she scales much better with prolonged fights compared to someone like Quinn who would deal a lot of damage with this item in short bursts. No matter how pleasant this item may seem there isn't any need for Jinx to buy it.

Black cleaver doesn't sound like it would be the worst idea but again compared to ghostblade you won't need the armour pen and you will scale much better with another item. The only ranged adc that this item suits is Lucian or Quinn just because of how she plays or Urgot and still he's not really a adc.

reducing enemy basic attack damage may seem a good choice but i assure you if you want to win your lane and further trades dealing more damage with your greaves is a lot more beneficial.

the sheen proc won't scale very well with jinx as her cooldowns are incredibly long let this item stay with Ezreal & Corki and focus on something else.

This item may seem useable on Jinx it gives you cdr, mana and also armor but don't be fooled by the sheen proc because it is wasted on her. If you want to go a tank item for protection you would be better going something else. Even with the slow this item gives you would get more use from Frozen Mallet

Ignite

+ Reduces enemy healing. + Can secure early kills. + Added pressure in lane. - Doesn't prevent enemy from dealing more damage - Isn't as useful in the late game compared to Exhaust. - Can be wasted easily if used on wrong target. - Needs to be used effectively by the support.

Ignite can have a lot of advantages in your laning phase compared to exhaust on your support it may allow early kill advantages which is great for jinx to snowball. It can reduce enemy healing which may be needed vs. matchups such as Soraka & Nami it also can create lane pressure against low health targets. It's downfalls are timing by the person using the spell, not casting it quickly enough to prevent healing spells may take it's useful aspects out of the picture. In theory when your support has ignite Jinx should play more aggressively and force trades with the enemy botlane so she can take a early lead.

Exhaust

+ Great to slow ganking assassins. + Prevents a lot of burst damage. + Slow escaping targets to secure kills. + Scales better the later the game advances. - Not as much lane pressure as Ignite. - Easy to select wrong target in a teamfight. - Requires effective usage from your support.

Exhaust is usually the more preferred summoner spell, if it's used by your support you will find that they would use it on champions with lack of mobility/escape such as Soraka or Taric. This spell will help them with their lack of mobility and it allows them to land cc and also stop themselves being assassinated. I sometimes prefer this spell on my support as it can help you in trades in the early game if used correctly and prevent you taking heavy damage. When playing Jinx with a Exhaust in your lane don't be afraid to still play aggressive at times during the laning phase but don't expect as much lane pressure compared to having Ignite.

Face Of The Mountain

/// Tahm Kench is a fairly strong champion in the botlane but his synergy with Jinx is amazing. He helps provide the solution to your lack of mobility and can provide you with a wide array of tools. His ultimate can help you traverse across the map safer to get to locations/objectives such as dragon or baron. His Q has the ability to slow enemy champion and with enough stacks of his passive stun them. His W can eat minions/champions providing hard crowd control so you can focus other targets without hassle. He also has the ability to eat you and provide you with a free escape tool from incoming assassins or threats, he may be even just helping you to chase down enemies with the movespeed buff eating you provides. Either way this champion has amazing synergy for Jinx expect to have a good botlane with Tahm Kench around! 5/5

---

/// Janna has great utility for Jinx giving her a reliable form of defense/offence with her shield, tornado knock up, a reliable slow in which to help Jinx catch up to her enemies and a knockback heal that saves her from incoming assassins and gives her a fresh source of health. Don't be afraid to play passive & aggressive when laning with a Janna as she can play both! She can build a lot of aura items which are perfect to give you hidden strength and protect you. 5/5

---

/// Braum is a really strong pick with jinx his passive Concussive Blows synergizes with Jinx's attack speed allowing for a easy stun. This provides a constant source of CC in the lane for you to easily chain your Flame Chompers!. He has a reliable shield to block incoming damage which is imperative against certain champion matchups and he also gives you free defense stats when he jumps onto you. This is a kill lane don't be afraid to go for as much harass at level 1 and then secure a kill at level 2 with Braum's passive.4/5

---

/// The best thing about Nami is how much utility she provides Jinx, she can give Jinx a reliable Auto Attack Buff which is perfect considering your attack speed steroid. A rotating heal that can be used offensively as well as for defense. A large tidal wave knock up allowing for a great disengage tool as well as a engaging tool. And finally a stun which you can chain your Flame Chompers! on top of which is great for lockdown in the early levels for a potential kill. 4/5

---

/// Thresh is my favorite support to use alongside Jinx his kit enhances everything good about Jinx and she enhances his kit. His Death Sentence synergizes well with your Flame Chompers! allowing you to easily chain CC it also can synergize with your Zap! allowing him to land his hook easier on a hooked target. Thresh's flay also allows him to send enemies back into your Flame Chompers! if they dodged them or they didn't activate in time this synergy works amazingly well. Another benefit of Thresh's kit is his Dark Passage the lantern helps provide Jinx with a reliable escape which is missing from her kit. Don't be afraid when duoing to play this matchup the most often it's incredibly strong and synergizes your playstyles. 5/5

---

/// Morgana creates a lane with jinx that can play to each other strengths Morgana landing her binding gives you a long time to chain CC and deal damage onto an enemy laner her binding Max can last 3 seconds which late game will give you plenty of time to kill the enemy ADC. Morgana's spell shield prevents you from being bursted to quickly and can save you from enemy CC this is great for jinx as it's a free safety net to help you survive longer in fight unscathed. Don't be afraid to go in if your support is competent enough they will save you from damage and you can truly carry! 4.5/5

---

Face Of The Mountain

/// Leona Has great synergy with Jinx she provides a lot of crowd control that gives Jinx plenty of time to react to her surroundings. Your provided more damage thanks to proccing her passive with your damage and she will be able to tank and keep enemies off of you. When playing alongside Leona make sure you follow her initiation with your Flame Chompers! this will provide easy lockdowns which Leona thrives off. She should be taking ignite and making an easy kill lane for you. 4/5

Below you will find a variety of possible champions you should expect to lane against in the support and then marksman role. When playing Jinx it's important to understand how to adapt and play against certain compositions below are tips/tricks/ideas on how to play against the champions listed by themselves. They may be harder a lot harder matchups than expected when paired with other champions on the list so take my advice with a grain of salt for example a Lux Support may become a 10/10 difficulty if paired alongside a Caitlyn. I hope my analysis on previous experiences of these lane matchups help you in your future games! Please note though i've not updated some parts of this section but I will be doing so when i have the time!

Alistar 8/10 Support Matchup Alistar is a very difficult opponent for Jinx. He can be a nuisance during the whole game as his kit is very annoying and disruptive for you. His Knockup Pulverize can stop you from dealing damage for a short time and lock you into further crowd control! Try to anticipate his Flash knockup plays and you should be much safer. Take notice of your distance into their side of the lane as he will attempt to knock you into his tower range for free damage and this almost always will result in your death. Essentially you will play this lane safer than most you can still attempt to harass alistar as his cooldowns are very high and his mana cost in the early game is exceptionally poor but just be aware of his presence. Furthermore make sure to buy an early last whisper to help counter his ultimate damage reduction or he will soak up a lot of your time and effort in teamfights.

Annie 9/10 Support Matchup Annie may not seen as much in the support role in recent months in solo queue although she is still viable down in botlane in the LCS. Be aware for this young sweetheart is actually a cold hearted killer B*tch with a deadly flaming teddy bear! Annie has a serious case of Pyromania and she is looking to stun you as much as possible during laning phase with her point and click ability. Be careful of this matchup as her base damage is insanely strong and it will be enough to snowball herself and her adc to make your life further hell. Just make sure to poke from a safe distance preferably outside her stun range with your rockets and focus her as she has no escape and is very squishy as a target. Taking her out of the picture first should make trading easier. Don't underestimate her all in potential though as at level 6 she will be looking for great opportunities to flash Tibbers you! Which will kill you almost instantly by herself.

Bard 6.5/10 Support Matchup Bard is a mute but he just never shuts up about his chimes. Bard is a roaming support try to keep vision around the lane and instantly focus the ADC whenever he leaves to collect his chimes! This will probably net you a free kill or burn some summoners off the adc for later advantage. Bard has a very strong auto attack amplification with his passive and this is stacked further with Spellthief's Edge damage. Just take note of this and make sure you use magic resist in your runes this is imperative. Bard can stun you quite easily if you are positioned poorly between minions so make sure to keep moving around the creeps to make his job a lot harder. Also beware of the enemy laners sustain, if Bard is playing the champion correctly they can out sustain you in early levels and survive your attempts at tower diving, trading and objective control. A great tip vs. bard is to not follow him through his portal as he will just stun you into the wall and kite you around, this as [Jinx]] is a very bad situation for you as you will most likely die to an ambush on the other side.

Blitzcrank 10/10 Support Matchup Danger! Danger! High chance of ragequit! Yeah Jinx doesn't like Blitzcrank and neither do I, everything about him screams Jinx time to get rekt scrub. This is a matchup in which you need to learn general map awareness and be aware of not only your own positioning but his as well. Be aware of your minion count to ensure you aren't hit by surprise hooks. Take note of any possible ganking opportunities and be especially careful if your summoners are not up. Don't push as far into the lane in this matchup as Blitzcrank will have more room to hook you and make your life a misery. Make sure that you dodge his hook by side stepping behind minions or completely to the opposite direction. It's hard to predict what he will do but practice makes perfect. Buying some Boots early will be again helpful for this matchup so don't be afraid to buy them if you have enough gold alongside of your pickaxe! Take note that Blitzcrank has the ability to knock you up for a second [not literally of course, we don't want little evil robot children now do we?] After his hook has landed he can then silence you to chain you in further crowd control this can also be topped off with the adc's crowd control after he hits level 6 ensuring you lose a lot of health and your going to most likely die anyway don't flash away save it for the next encounter. I'd recommend that you take a support with a shield/escape tool for this game some good suggestions to help in this matchup would be Thresh or Janna

Brand 6.5/10 Support Matchup Brand does Lots of burst damage, again this is just a pseudo support play similar to how you would vs. the Annie he is a very squishy target and a easy person to destroy first. Just beware the bouncing ultimate and make sure to stay separate from your minions/lane partner after its cast to limit the destructive power. Beware of being hit by his multiple spells as he can stun you if he has his tick on you.

Braum 8/10 Support Matchup Braum and his Concussive Blows will keep you under lock and keep if you don't play safely. The slow off his Winter's Bite can easily catch you out and lead to a destructive stun so make sure to play passively around him. Don't forget his shield can bounce your Flame Chompers! back towards you, nullify your Zap! and also block your Super Mega Death Rocket! aoe damage and his knockup can keep you suspended in the air for quite a while. Essentially this champion counters you very well so take care when playing against him and keep your distance! As your Jungler for extra ganks if needed to survive the laning phase.

galio 5/10 Support Matchup Galio isn't a popular support at all it's a very very niche pick but I have played against it a few items. He has a great base MR so he can nullify your supports damage and his shield can be incredibly strong. Make sure to focus the ADC in this matchup as he provides little crowd control pre level 6 except slows. The champion is pretty slow with a lack of movement speed so you should be able to follow him quite easily and kite against him. If he is low on mana, which will be quite often as his mana pool is small just harass him. Best tip that I can provide is stay away from his ult radius and just poke with rockets post level 6.

Gragas 6.5/10 Support Matchup Lots of strong crowd control, Gragas is a difficult support to lane against he provides lots of utility and can setup plays while tanking up to 3 people at any given time. Try to dodge his obvious Body Slam walk around his barrels and you should be able to kill him easily enough. He is very kiteable without any spells up so don't be afraid of him if he has no damage.

Janna 7.5/10 Support Matchup Great champion in the support role and can be a pain for Jinx a good Janna player can make so many plays without the need of much effort. Try to focus whoever she hasn't shielded for more further peel against the botlane matchup. Try to clean her up at the start of fights and you should have an easier time as her hidden aura's cause a lot of potential problems for you. She is quite squishy so don't be afraid of her to much with careful positioning, make sure to use your rockets against her to force her to ult you away or tornado as this will allow you to burn important spells. Beware of her flashing at you and using her ultimate to blow you towards the enemy team and separating a huge gap from your team mates that are helpless without you!

Karma 5/10 Support Matchup Utility support again here, be aware of Karma's harass she has a extremely strong slow/snare and she can shield a lot of your damage output! She also has a speed boost in her kit to help her marksman and herself chase you down. Make sure that you apply a mix of attack and defense against her when her cooldowns aren't available. If she is laned with Corki or Caitlyn back off the harass will be to much for you to sustain against, just farm under tower safe as possible and ask for help from the mid laner/jungler to scale to your late game transition.

Leona 9.5/10 Support Matchup Very hard crowd control champion, she will focus you exclusively in teamfights and zone you in the laning phase. Try to dodge her Zenith Blade and you should be saved from the rest of her potential combo until level 6. Make sure you buy yourself a Quicksilver Sash for this matchup it will be needed to cleanse the amount of crowd control Leona can place onto you. Don't be afraid to focus Leona early on in the laning phase though she is very weak level 1 and provides little to her ADC and you may achieve an easy kill on her because of that. Make sure your support stays parallel to you in lane so she can't use your support as a means to reaching you for her stun.

Lulu 7/10 Support Matchup Lulu will provide a lot of harass to Jinx. Firstly with pix attached to herself shielding against your poke in the laning phase. Beware of her polymorph as this will prevent a lot of your damage onto her as you will be slowed and cc'd with her suppress. She is very similar to karma with her amazing utility and she also provides a lot of poke. Her ultimate can catch you off guard with its knockup so be aware of champions like Yasuo who will appear on top of it to chain crowd control. Make sure that you keep your distance and harass with your rockets and Zap!. I would also recommend taking a hard CC support such as Thresh or Braum to help block her damage/kite her down.

Lux 6/10 Support Matchup Lux screw this champion when she is played support she deals way to much damage, provides a double snare for you and your support to be caught out with and can shield her whole team, TWICE!. Make sure that you dodge her skillshots and you should be okay. Her mana costs are extremely high so go all in when she is low on mana and you should pick up an easy kill. Again like Annie make sure you watch out for her 6 as she can snipe you off under tower as well as steal objectives. One thing to take note about this matchup though is her high mana costs can make her null and void if she is spamming to much so take advantage of when she has no mana and kill her.

Morgana 9.5/10 Support Matchup Did You just get reported by your whole team? Want to know why? Because Morgana just landed her binding on you. Yeah it feels like an eternity in hell being hit by that as Jinx, I'd recommend not playing Jinx if there is a Morgana on the enemy team I dislike it a lot but if by some chance you do I advise you to make your Quicksilver Sash straight after your Infinity Edge & Boots as this will save your life much more often than your support would in this matchup. Morgana is similar to that of janna in the sense she has a shield that's very powerful although this one blocks your Crowd control and makes you useless. Try to burst her as fast as you can or switch targets to whoever hasn't been shielded. Avoid standing in here black pool of death and she won't get free Spellthief's Edge procs. Finally when linked up to her ultimate Soul Shackles don't let the snare hit you, try to flash out of the long duration and run away otherwise you will be locked down for a good 5+ seconds, and you will most likely die due to lack of mobility. Good supports to play against morgana Karma she can burst her shield quite easily and speed boost you to help dodge the binding. Janna she can knockback Morgana thus preventing her from dealing to much damage and her shield/heal can help you sustain in lane.

Malphite 7/10 Support Matchup Very rare to see a Malphite support anymore but if you do be careful in lane against him beware of the slowing power of his Seismic Shard it slows your movement speed to smithereens and then your attack speed when chained with his Ground Slam try to bait out his ultimate with your Flash then re-engage as he will be easy enough to kill as he would of most likely used flash to reposition himself for the ultimate. If he has built a thornmail buy yourself a visage to enhance your healing potential from your bloodthirster this should keep you alive long enough to shred thorough it.

Maokai 6.5/10 Support Matchup Maokai again like Malphite is rarely seen botlane much anymore but provides a lot of utility with his Twisted Advance sticking to you even if you flash away. His ultimate Vengeful Maelstrom soaks up a lot of damage and this can be a problem for you as he is hard to take down when he is stuck next to you. Try to play passively when he is level 6 and keep your distance. Take ignite on your support to make killing him a lot easier for you both.

Nami 7/10 Support Matchup Nami has a great matchup against Jinx, she can harass you pretty well with enhanced auto attacks from her Tidecaller's Blessing which does a moderate amount of damage, she can heal back any damage you have dealt and throw it back at you with Ebb and Flow Nami also has a strong stun with quite a wide aoe that can land on both you and your support. Beware her ultimate Tidal Wave because it has a extremely long range and although its slow it can still catch you out. Make sure to side step to the smallest side of the wave or flash through the animation of the wave to instantly claim free damage while she has no cooldowns left. This is a interesting matchup to play against if you are smart but even if you are losing just do you're best and you should be fine by lategame.

Nautilus 10/10 Support Matchup I hate Nautilus, QSS is useless against his ultimate the only relief would be a Zhonya's Hourglass if it's really that much of a problem for you like the aforementioned Rengar. I would recommend positioning yourself at a distance and waiting till Nautilus gets impatient and targets someone else then you will have free reign to deal damage against him.

Shen 7/10 Support Matchup Shen is a Tanky support with a long width taunt that can catch you off guard. Make sure that you sidestep the animation and then he will be much easier to harass. He is a melee champion so don't be afraid to poke him down in the laning phase while he is weaker. Beware of 1 v 1's against the ADC when their is a Shen as he can ultimate in and save the day changing the tide of battle and thus causing you to lose your life. Essentially harass safely from a distance, sidestep the crowd control and watchout for his ultimate.

Sona 6.5/10 Support Matchup Sona Provides a lot of unexpected burst damage with her power chords and Hymn of Valor make sure you buy early lifesteal to sustain yourself in lane and survive the laning phase once she hits level 6 beware of her ultimate's stun it is easy enough to dodge with flash but once you have lost it you will be caught out easily. Don't fret though Sona is very squishy and by mid game 3-4 rockets and you will be able to kill her quite easily. Just try to pick her off whenever possible but keep an eye out for her hidden utility in her spells/aura's similar to Janna.

Soraka 8/10 Support Matchup Heal, Heal, Heal, oh look full health!, Soraka can be a tricky support to play against I implore that you always focus her first and your problems will most likely be solved. Trying to kill the enemy ADC is extremely hard when she gives them a constant stream of regenerating health. I recommend taking ignite on your support for this lane so you have an easier time negating the healing on either the Soraka or ADC. Beware of 1 v 1 situations again as Soraka's global heal can change the tides of war yet again.

Tahm Kench 8.5/10 Support Matchup Tahm Kench is a colossal pain in the butt not just for Jinx but for all ADC's. He has a strong slow/stun with his Tongue Lash which lets him stack his passive to eat you, this can keep you out of a fight while your support is being focused and killed. You also need to worry about being caught out he has a lot of base damage when building tank and he can stall you long enough to kill you thanks to his passive. With his shield he is essentially a raid boss and can stall you long enough for the rest of the enemy team to catch up to you. Beware of the fish and try to build items that will help self peel against this champion such as Blade of the Ruined King and Last Whisper.

Taric 9/10 Support Matchup Taric got updated and now hes a pain in the ***. I recommend you play safe in this lane his stun is very strong, his ultimate will stop you doing any damage and his heals are persistent play very safe in this lane and you should be okay.

Thresh 7.5/10 Support Matchup Beware the chain warden, Thresh is the best support in the game outright in my opinion if you are playing against one always expect him to carry. Distance won't matter against him as he can make a lot of plays with his hook, flay and his ultimate's slow. Try to position yourself in minions like you would against Blitzcrank to dodge a lot of his skills. His cooldowns are quite long so take note of this, beware of his flay passive damage as his auto attacks contain a lot of extra magic damage. Get your support to block his approach towards you and you have free peel to stop him going against you.

Trundle 4/10 Support Matchup Not the easiest support to play against but Trundle can be a nuisance with his pillar slow. Just make sure to ward the bushes, and keep a visual lookout for trundle to not be caught off guard when basing, or chasing enemies. He shouldn't be to hard of a matchup if you distance yourself as his bite and ultimate require him to be near AA range to use them.

vel'koz 5/10 Support Matchup Vel'Koz has a lot of long range harass be careful of his Q because he can cast it early to snipe you off guard. His knockup can lead way into a devastating combination chaining his ultimate which has insane true damage, and his w which activates as the ultimate finishes. To win this matchup i would recommend taking someone like Thresh so you can easily catch him off guard and deal a lot of damage into him before he has a time to react.

volibear 3/10 Support Matchup Volibear isn't a popular support similar to that of Malphite but he does have his strengths in botlane. His flip can be repetitive and annoying for you as Jinx as you have a lack of mobility. To win this lane take ignite so you csn counteract his healing passive and try to kite him.

Ashe 8/10 ADC Matchup Ashe is a very problematic champion for Jinx especially when she hits her level 6. Ashe's ultimate can catch you off guard from up close or further away and this will lock you out of skirmishes very easily thus resulting in your death even under your own tower. To win this lane I suggest you try to bully her as much as possible pre level 6 and make sure your support stays alongside of you to protect you from the stunning ultimate. If Ashe is in lane by herself try to distance yourself so you have more reaction time and keep plenty of vision out for the enemy jungler or support as they will make your life hell if they all jump you.

Caitlyn 10/10 ADC Matchup Caitlyn has a much longer auto attack range than Jinx so you will need to prioritize when to fight back with your rockets. When you are laning against Caitlyn you may have difficulty securing kills because of her 90 Caliber Net this gives her a long distance escape and it also acts as a CC with it's strong slow. Take care of her passive Headshot it's really strong form of harass that is even more deadly this season and can pack a punch. My best suggestion for this matchup would be to play more passively and try to stay out of her range when she has her passive up. Don't be afraid to lose some of your creep score as this matchup is difficult for you unless your support can harass exceptionally well alongside you to counteract her damage. Play safely and you should be able to snowball sometime in the mid game with your ultimate sniping kills or general teamfight situations.

Corki 7/10 ADC Matchup Corki has a lot of mixed damage scaling off AP and AD damage. Try you're best to dodge his skillshots. The best way to do this is buying early boots of speed to have more time to distance yourself. To win this matchup you should try to push him out of lane by fighting him back as often as possible Corki has very bad mana sustain it is worse than your mana pool in the early game so punish him for this. Don't be afraid to engage after he has used his escape it has a very long cooldown with one point, roughly 18 seconds. Using your Zap! or Flame Chompers! may be awkward as his escape has a very longer range so try to keep the use of these spells to a minimum unless he has made a mistake. Make sure to beware his upgraded rocket W this patch it allows him to catch up to you and can chase you down when you are extremely low granting himself an easy kill.

Draven 6/10 ADC Matchup Draven is a threat to every ADC he's very strong but I rarely see a good Draven player who has the champions mechanics down to a tea. Just be careful of his mid-late power spike with crit chance & Bloodthirster. If you focus on bullying him a lot in his early game you won't see his worst until late game. Don't be afraid to go for harass while he is catching his axes he can't focus on two things at once, you will get a lot of free damage and maybe even a sneaky Flame Chompers! to secure a kill on him. Essentially don't be afraid of him in the early game you should be able to outplay him with your support fairly easily.

Ezreal 5/10 ADC Matchup Ezreal is a tricky matchup for Jinx to lane against. Ezreal has his escape tool which is essentially A Flash This can allow him to dodge your skillshots Zap! & Super Mega Death Rocket! and this can cost you snowballing your lane. The best advice I can suggest is to try to lock him down with chained CC and burst him down ASAP so you can kill him before he Arcane Shift's away doing this should allow you to win the lane a lot easier.

Graves 10/10 ADC Matchup Graves is a suprisingly hard matchup for Jinx his passive gives him free tanky stats. Graves can also burst you down quite fast with his AD caster kit. Just try and distance yourself away from him and his reloading auto attacks and when he dashes into you i recommend that you dodge his skillshots and when he has wasted his dash this is the time you should go all in on him before he can reload.

Jinx 6/10 ADC Matchup The first Jinx to snowball wins it's as simple as that, just make sure you follow my build path and runes and you should have a slight advantage from the start! Don't be afraid to harass her at level 1 and you should hit level 2 a lot faster than the enemy Jinx.

Kalista 10/10 ADC Matchup Kalista is a real pain in the *******, there is no other way to put it. Like seriously the amount of games I have played against this champion and she has made my life a living hell is unreal. You can make her go negative in lane such as 0/5 and she suddenly gets her bloodthirster, and she's jumping around taking more health than she is losing. Just make sure you get lots of crowd control stacked on top of her and chain your chompers. When doing this kill the B*tch ASAP or you will be kited till she kills you and you will lose to the Queen of kiting.

Kog'maw 5/10 ADC Matchup Kog'Maw is a very scary champion to fight, he has a punishing late game but I believe you should scale a lot better throughout the game playing Jinx. Jinx has a great all around and a much faster power spike in her early game and she's relevant from early to late game. Just take note that you should be wary of Kog'Maw's passive so he doesn't get free cleanups against you. My best advice for you is to play aggressive and punish his weak early game you should be able to burst him down in no time flat and escape. /spoiler]

Lucian 8/10 ADC Matchup Lucian is a very annoying lane bully his Piercing Light + Lightslinger can give him a quick burst to win him short trades. Just try and stay out of his line of sight when he attempts to cs using his Piercing Light and back off after he has used his skillshots this way you will avoid being hit by the doubleshot Lightslinger. I recommend making early lifesteal a Vampiric Scepter should suffice to help keep you alive and relevant in fights.

Miss Fortune 7/10 ADC Matchup Miss Fortune like Lucian is a standard lane bully you should try to dodge her Double Up and return back the harass, Keep note of her ultimate Bullet Time just like Lucian it packs a wallop if you are hit with the whole duration. This matchup in theory should be a lot easier for you lately thanks to riot removing the grievous wounds passive off her Impure Shots don't be afraid to fight her and placing your chompers on top of her as she uses her ultimate to cancel the cast.

Mordekaiser 6/10 ADC Matchup The Mordekaiser matchup depends heavily on the skill level of the Mordekaiser but you should be wary of his damage output since he has been covered to the infamous Anti ADC. He isn't as hard to lane vs. as A Kalista or Sivir but try to dodge his skillshots and don't be hit my his Third cast of Mace of Spades and avoid prolonged fights especially when he uses his ultimate on you. Buy plenty of lifesteal in the early game to outsustain him and don't be afraid to ask your jungler for extra help. You should now hopefully have a better understanding of this matchup and not be surprised at his damage.

Quinn 6/10 ADC Matchup Quinn shouldn't be to hard of a matchup for Jinx considering she has a shorter AA range than you. She is primarily seen as a top laner and is better against melee/tank champions. In lane you should just try to force harass with your rockets and make sure you dodge her vision reducing skillshot. If she attempts to go in for a Vault try to throw your chompers to her estimated landing spot for an easy crowd control. Make sure that you buy Quicksilver Sash in this matchup for the blind and you should be able to make mincemeat of Valor quite easily./spoiler]

Sivir 8/10 ADC Matchup Sivir is a monster vs. Jinx her Spell Shield can provide a lot of utility for her to stop your crowd control [Flame Chompers!]] & Zap! and will give her free mana sustain back. Sivir has the ability to push the wave back at you quite easily with her Boomerang Blade and auto attack reset Ricochet ask your support to focus on burning her spell shield then you can burst her down. Be careful of trying to 1 v 1 Sivir unless you are insanely ahead as she can surprise the best of Jinx players with her kit.

Tristana 9.5/10 ADC Matchup Tristana is a very hard matchup for you as Jinx she has a stronger kit than you with a passive that allows her to escape everytime she nets herself a kill. This allows her to position herself in teamfights for easier kills and to burst you down from 100-0 flat. Try to use your teams positioning to the best of your ability and stay away from her. Her ultimate can knock you back or away from your team so she can have free reign for self peel and to kill off your team 1 by 1. Make sure that you back off when she lands her Explosive Charge so you take less damage from the attack scaling it has attached to it. Make sure you ask your jungler consistently for help and play very passive in the early game you want to actually reach your power spike!.

Twitch 4/10 ADC Matchup Twitch is a easy matchup for Jinx you should be alright in the early game but his sneaking invisibility can grab him quick easy kills if you are careless with vision. Make sure to buy a upgraded pink trinket and you should win most 1 v 1 situations as you will be able to keep focusing him when he turns invisible. (if all else fails you should be able to smell him!)

Varus 5/10 ADC Matchup Varus is a very tricky ADC to vs. against in theory for Jinx, You should have better harass against him but his q is amazingly powerful to poke you with and if it catches you off guard it can result in your death quite easily. When it's mid-late game I would recommend just trying to force a 2 v 1 on him as he is even less mobile than you. After he has used his Piercing Arrow would be a good time to take focus of Varus. You should win the matchup easily enough although you should watch out for his ultimate as that snare can result in chained crowd control especially with a Morgana *shudders*)

Vayne 8/10 ADC Matchup I don't care what anyone says Vayne will always be a great adc, her Silver Bolts make her a worthy matchup for Jinx you may outrange her and outdamage her most the early game but she is a duelist elite master. Always buy a upgraded pink trinket as this will help a lot with dueling Vayne allowing you to keep auto attacking her as she tumble's towards you with her ultimate. Never underestimate Vayne she may be 0/8 but she can still have a hidden power in teamfights after landing 3 auto attacks onto you and if taking you out is all that's between her and the nexus she can achieve it!

Below you will find a variety of possible champions you should expect to gank your lane and fight against in teamfights. Jinx can play more safer against certain junglers but others are threats in her early game and must be played against with caution. Take note most junglers may not even gank botlane every game has the possibility of no ganks from the jungler. Learn how to play against certain champions played in the jungle role, some may be unorthodox but I've played against them myself so don't unexpect that flex pick of Quinn jungle. Take heed that these matchups may become more difficult depending on playstyle, map awareness, jungler mechanics and build paths. I hope the below explanations will serve some purpose for you and help your Jinx improve further!

Aatrox 6.5/10 Jungler Matchup Aatrox is not much of a threat for Jinx as he should be when he is jungling. Aatrox has a great amount of sustain though later in the game so be careful of that, but if he does gank your botlane in the early stages of your laning phase he shouldn't be to much of a threat for Jinx. Ask your team mates to take note of when his passive is down and this can help you determine whether he is easier to kill for a secured kill as he is very squishy. Take note of his revive Passives bloodwell as this can determine how much health he regenerates from death. Keep an eye on the healing off his W which Aatrox can switch between a damaging proc every third auto attack or a healing proc if he switches it by pressing the skill. Aatrox has a built in slow for extra crowd control with his E, This is triangle shaped in width. This skill which increases in slow as he places levels into it can help him land his Q easier. Beware of his Q as it is a knockup. This is his greatest engage he can knockup multiple people in your team trying to just get to you. Be sure to keep note of his positioning as he can attempt to take you out of the picture and then fall back on his passive to survive the deep engage. Also take note of his ultimate's increased stats and the AOE damage it produces as this may catch you off guard. Don't be afraid to buy an early Bloodthirster when they have an aatrox in the jungle to outsustain him.

Akali 8/10 Jungler Matchup Akali has fallen off the map slightly since her last rework. She isn't seen to much in the jungle as of late but you may encounter her in your ranked/normal encounters playing the league and you may need a grasping idea of how to play around her. Like most assassins Akali is extremely mobile and agile she has the ability to jump in to kill you and escape. Akali should be prepared for she will most likely not gank you until level 6 when she has her ultimate to dash towards or away from you this is similar to Diana or Warwick who won't gank you till level 6. Make sure you buy yourself a upgraded trinket either Oracle's Lens or preferably a Greater Vision Totem this will enable you to place a invisibility debuff in her shroud of invisibility to allow you to grant crowd control and damage onto her quite often during teamfights. Even if you have died granting this extra vision may grant you a much needed shutdown/assist to snowball yourself. Beware of Akali's spellvamp she can deal a lot of damage onto you and heal it back up try to keep your distance, stay under tower and use your rockets to kill her.

Amumu 7.5/10 Jungler Matchup Amumu Has a weak level 1-2 so don't expect any ganks from him till level 4-6 with this in mind you should have a easier couple of levels without threat so take advantage of this time to gain a lead in the botlane. When Amumu finally does gank you try to anticipate his Bandage Toss he will primarily try to grasp onto you for the enemy botlane to chain their crowd control onto you. Amumu is a very tanky champion but he can also pack a punch with just a tiny bit of ability power. Depending on the mummy's build is how you should approach him once he hit levels 6. If Amumu has built ability power items such as Rylai's Crystal Scepter or Haunting Guise expect him to try and assassinate you as his combo with his ultimate does a lot of burst damage. Try to keep well positioned and anticipate him over the side of walls and ready to flank similar to how you would expect a Fiddlesticks to play. Upgrade your trinket in anticipation of this at level 9 into the Greater Stealth Totem. If Amumu is going tankier and building very little Ability power focused items he will try to cling to you for dear life. Buy an enchantment like Berserker's Greaves - Furor This should allow for an easier time to kite him and survive this poor mummy's attempt to make a friend. Buy an early Last Whisper in this matchup also it will help significantly maybe even considering buying the Blade of the Ruined King as your final item if he has built a lot of health on top of the cinderhulk.

Cho'Gath 5/10 Jungler Matchup Cho'Gath is built primarily as a tank jungler so he should be quite kiteable for jinx his AA range is melee based and his skillshots are quite slow in terms of animation speed. Cho'Gath Will probably not gank botlane very often as he will have trouble walking into the lane undetected (Hello giant creature coming through). But all the jokes aside Cho'Gath will probably not be to afraid to gank you once he has hit level 6 his ultimate can execute you, and being a squishy target this makes you a prime candidate for his next meal. Attempt to throw your cc down before he lands his silence or knockup and run away while AA microing him with rockets/minigun attacks. He has a low base movement speed so if you are chasing him he should be slim pickins to kill. He does have a lot of sustain so try not to fight him in minions as killing them will provide him with health regeneration, attempt to deal with him like a raid boss and use your team to your advantage. Finally make sure that you buy yourself a Blade of the Ruined King as he scales primarily off Health.

Diana 10/10 Jungler Matchup Diana well, Yeah she is pretty much going to try and jump on you more than a dog begging to go for a walk. Diana has incredible amounts of burst potential and she only gets worse as the game progresses further, this is one of the rare times I recommend you buy yourself a Guardian Angel

Dr. Mundo 6/10 Jungler Matchup Dr. Mundo may see more play again now he has had his recent buffs in patch 5.20 to his e, so be very aware of his annoying movement speed increase with his ultimate, a endless hoard of cleavers that will slow you and a built in Sunfire Aegis skill. He is quite kiteable if you have a team peeling for you so don't be afraid to position yourself close to him if someone is tanking him. Make sure you build the Blade of the Ruined King against him as he will be a cinderhulk jungler. He will buy a lot of extra bonus health and this will allow you to shred him as a HP tank. Attempt to sidestep his cleavers as best as possible as he can constantly keep you slowed at later levels and kill you. Make sure that you place your chompers in front of the direction you are going so you have to make him walk around them or have no time to react to their placement as he can just run through the initial setup time with his movement speed. Finally beware a possible thornmail on this champion as he will be able to kill you without even laying a finger on you in the lategame.

Ekko 8/10 Jungler Matchup Ekko is a great assassin, has a overloaded kit with a lot of threats you have to take a note of. He has a stong slow on his Timewinder that provides a lot of burst peel onto you. His Parallel Convergence has the ability to slow then stun you providing he is in the time zone at the resolution of its cast and you are placed inside of it. He has a built in escape tool with 2 dashes, Phase Dive this has the ability to leap over walls and blink on top of you be careful of this abilities damage as it can proc Ekko's passive Z-Drive Resonance further slowing you and giving him a speed boost. Finally his last threat is his Chronobreak which he returns to his ghosts location and deals a burst of damage this is his ace in the hole which he can use to escape after killing you. Now for the counterplay it really depends on Ekko's build if he is full damage keep your distance from his skills and wait till he is pre occupied with another team member then burst him down as he will be squishy, take note of his ult and don't get caught up in it. If Ekko has built tank he will just have a lot of utility and still have some damage to peel you down. In this case get your support to build utility items that are beneficial for you such as Mikael's Blessing and buy yourself a Quicksilver Sash to escape the slows/stuns easier try to grind him down slowly and chain your crowd control on top of him to keep him in place.

Elise 8/10 Jungler Matchup Elise a very strong jungler who can go off tank and provide a quick burst to eliminate you. Make sure you dodge her Cocoon and most of her utility is taken away from her kit. She is kiteable if you dodge her stun as she will have a harder time keeping up with you and surviving encounters. But if you are chained down with a variety of crowd control she will be able to burst you down with her amazing burst. Make sure that you buy that Quicksilver Sash as an escape tool or alternatively Banshee's Veil as this will counteract her kit a lot easier.

Evelynn 10/10 Jungler Matchup Evelynn will catch you off guard a lot, IM going to warn you now one of the very rare cases where I'd recommend dodging in higher elos. A good Evelynn player will camp you in botlane to the point you will want to ragequit, she can stick to you quite easily thanks to her Dark Frenzy cleansing all slows on her which means you Zap!'s utility is taken away. Try to buy Control Ward's and place them in the special area I mentioned in the warding section to counteract her invisibility and this will provide you with time for an escape. I recommend staying with your support all game, farming botlane solo will result in your death you can't escape her slow off her ultimate Agony's Embrace as the burst she will deal will kill you almost instantly. I recommend getting your team to all buy pink wards, drill this into their heads in the chat. Finally I will suggest that you buy Guardian Angel as once she has used her Agony's Embrace her main source of damage/crowd control is gone and she will have a harder time killing you again.

Fiddlesticks 4/10 Jungler Matchup Fiddlesticks is very squishy this matchup shouldn't be to hard if you position far away from his ultimate Crowstorm and dodge his crowd control from Reap and Terrify. Just make sure to ward over raptor camp walls as this is a common place for him to begin his Crowstorm channel. Finally when he is using Zhonya's Hourglass switch targets and then return fire this will make best use of your time in teamfight situations.

Fizz 8/10 Jungler Matchup Fizz again will be a tricky assassin for Jinx as being a immobile champion she will have difficulty escaping his Playful / Trickster repositioning and his Chum the Waters Damage amplification will add further terror to his combo after you are slowed temporarily. Make sure you buy a Banshee's Veil or Quicksilver Sash to prevent yourself being hit my the Chum the Waters or to detach it from you. I recommend that you take a Janna as your support so you can blow him away from you this way you have a reliable hard crows control to escape. Tahm Kench can also prove useful for you.

Gragas 6.5/10 Jungler Matchup Gragas was mentioned earlier still has a lot of the same problems for you with his utility he will be making tank again but being a bit tankier due to cinderhulk. Make sure that you dodge his skills and expect his Body Slam when he ganks he will not be afraid to use his Flash at early levels to ensure easy hits with it. Be prepared he can gank you level 2 with ease and instantly put you at a disadvantage in the botlane!!!! I recommend that you make an early Bloodthirster as you will be chunked down to low health after his rotation and you will need to sustain yourself during the teamfights.

Hecarim 7/10 Jungler Matchup Hecarim in the jungle is not as hard for you as the toplane matchup as he will most likely not have Ignite or Teleport in his kit as he will need Smite. Although it is not as big of a threat for you is till recommend you to take care, he is granted passage through minions when using his Warpath passive. Hecarim has a surprising amount of damage and crowd control for a jungler he can get to you quite easily so stick close to your team and be aware of his position. Attempt to flash as his Devastating Charge is about to hit so the knockup will land but you are further away from him. Onslaught of Shadows provides you with a similar problem granting a fear debuff so do the same in this situation. Finally I recommend that you take a Braum or Janna who can attempt to stop his raging onslaught toward you and allow you to hit him while his cooldowns are up.

Irelia 7/10 Jungler Matchup Irelia hits her power spike later in the jungle but she has the ability to be a nuisance still. She has a lot of kiteability, juking, crowd control, wave clear etc. I recommend that you keep your distance from her she has the ability to extend her range using minions as a gap closer to reach you unexpectedly be careful of this! If she is focusing another target it's most likely she has very little left in her cooldowns focus her then, if she is focusing you attempt to distance yourself and similar to the Dr. Mundo matchup throw the chompers in the direction you are running to for maximum effect. Be warned though as her passive grants reduced tenacity so the more crowd control used on her the less effective it is as it's effective time is reduced. Irelia is most likely going to go offtank with devourer. Make sure you buy early sustain to help outrade her and a Quicksilver Sash for her stun.

Jax 8/10 Jungler Matchup Jax has a gap closer and a stun so he is a threat for you as an immobile champion. He provides a lot of damage onto you as a bruiser/fighter, he is basically an assassin tank. Keep your distance and let your team handle him as he can tower dive you and escape with ease, make sure that you chain your crowd control after he is already cc'd as this will ensure a lengthy amount of time for you to keep your damage ontop of him. He shouldn't gank you until level 4 once he has two points in his leap so begin warding around 5-6 minutes for him. He will also be stacking devourer so attempt to take scuttle crabs and dragons early to stop his stack progression don't be afraid to take your own camps as well as he will most likely attempt to counter jungle!

Kayle 6/10 (since devourer nerf) Jungler Matchup Kayle is an incredibly strong Devourer champion she will not likely gank until she has finished the item and has a few items so take use of a quiet laning phase as best you can to try outscale her in the early game. Kayle's best utility is her ultimate even if she is providing nothing to her team damage wise her ultimate Intervention can save someone for a short period of time from all forms of damage/crowd control and provide the enemy team with a game changing moment try to burst her down before she uses this or change focus onto someone else when it has been used similar to a Zhonya's Hourglass you may as well spend the couple of seconds dealing damage in a teamfight instead of wandering around like a headless chicken. I recommend that you try to lock her out of the fight early on and focus her first so she can't provide anything for a fight. She is a difficult champion to fight in a 1 v 1 situation so I do not recommend you do this at all whatsoever when she is level 6!

Kha'Zix 7/10 Jungler Matchup Kha'Zix oh praise jeebus! That isolation damage is to much to handle for poor little Jinx think of rengar but not as fluffy. That's Kha'Zix although he can be a nuisance he is a lot easier to predict and his lack of stealth time provides you with more chances to burst him down with your rockets/minigun. Make sure you stick to your minions or team to prevent further burst damage and you should be able to kill him. If he is granted a reset on you he will escape with his jump so make sure you delay this so he has more of a chance of dying by buying a Guardian Angel this will make sure he dies and you survive in the long run!. Expect a lot of early ganks as he is able to provide some utility with a slow and a fair bit of damage as you are squish. But do not be afraid of his early levels as you can kill him quite easily if he is positioned poorly when ganking.

Kindred 7/10 Jungler Matchup Kindred I can give you some tips when facing a kindred she has a lot shorter aa range than you do so stay out of her zone and you should be able to hit her while on the edge. Also don't be afraid to teamfight with her inside her ultimate as you will outdamage her most stages of the game and be able to kill her quickly enough after it expires. Finally be careful of ganks when you have been marked or someone else she could be baiting you into a false sense of security!

Lee Sin 11/10 Jungler Matchup Lee Sin yeah your Fuc*ed not going to lie to you! Immobile + Lee Sin = Death. This is a really hard matchup for you if he is a skilled player on the champion he has the ability to consistently camp you in the botlane to deny cs, kill pressure, objective control etc. You will have to buy deep vision and ask your jungler for counter ganks often as he will be setting up a tent in the botlane with his name on the side. In this matchup i recommend you make good use of your flash if you time your flash perfectly to the resolution of his Sonic Wave's Resonating Strike you can escape the damage, this is a very very very hard thing to do and takes practice but it can be done, although flashing under tower as he uses this can help provide you with a chance to counteract his kit and kill him as he is squishy if going full damage. If Lee Sin has no ultimate Dragon's Rage to kick you into the enemy team or execute you if you are low you should be a lot safer and be able to survive. I recommend buying Banshee's Veil to dodge the initial Sonic Wave and this will prevent him getting up close and personal. If Lee Sin goes full tank his aim will be to disrupt your potential threat all game and Dragon's Rage you into the enemy team keep your eyes peeled for this! Good Luck against the YA KU!

Malphite 4/10 Jungler Matchup Malphite is a pretty weak jungler his ultimate is his greatest ally that's it really dodge this and you should be alright in the laning phases ganks. I recommend you make Banshee's Veil Again to help prevent the knockup hitting you. I also suggest that you build Last Whisper before your lifesteal as he will scale heavily off armour!

Malzahar 4/10 Jungler Matchup Malzahar jungle is again a rare sight but it can happen trust me, It will most likely be AD based and will be pretty weak if the player doesn't;t understand the point of this jungling build. Buy Quicksilver Sash kill his voidlings and this will negate most of the core problems that AD Malz creates. Also keep vision on objectives as he will be able to take these solo by himself quite easily with his voidlings!

Maokai 7.5/10 Jungler Matchup Maokai similar to how he is support is a pain in the butt but a bit more tankier this time. Maokai provides plenty of utility with his Twisted Advance sticking to you even if you Flash away so be careful especially when he will be ganking with this spell possibly using Flash as a gap closer. Maokai will be a raid boss like Cho'Gath to kill and provide a lot of your time try to leave him last and focus other people that are squishier to ensure a faster teamfight. If he is stuck on top of you ping for assistance like crazy as he will stick like glue without help!1. Finally buy Blade of the Ruined King vs. Maokai as he makes primarily items with health from cinderhulk to Turbo Chemtank

Master Yi 7.5/10 Jungler Matchup Master Yi's only counter is crowd control, just use your Flame Chompers! on top of the rest of your teams crowd control and problem solved. Although this is not always going to be easy is it? Yi is very squishy so try to poke hm from afar especially when you are sieging or being sieged and poke him down! He is a pain for everyone when he is the carry for the enemy team so just play safe and do your best.

Nautilus 10/10 Jungler Matchup Nautilus Again a strong threat even from the jungle just play safe, keep your distance like you would when he is played support. Buy a Last Whisper early this is imperative vs. this champion!

Nidalee 8.5/10 Jungler Matchup Nidalee = Banshee's Veil just survive her poke and you will solve a lot of her problems for you. Learn to peel your eyes for her spears and dodge them this is the best advice it takes time to learn how to dodge skillshots/skills effectively but you better be dancing like you are about to do the cha cha slide and dodge some spears. I warn you though she has more stuff in her kit she is hard to chase/escape from with her pounce/jump and she can quickly burst you down. Her only problem is teamfights she is terrible in them make use of this and stay clumped with your team so she is forced to go onto another target.

Nocturne 5/10 Jungler Matchup Nocturne's ultimate is that long of a cooldown in the early game he is not much of a threat he is quite easy to kill as he is squishy and doesn't provide much in a teamfight he is a one trick pony of an assassin. Just buy yourself a Quicksilver Sash for his fear and you should be able to escape any lingering threats you may have to face.

Nunu 7/10 Jungler Matchup Nunu & Willump is a pain with his snowballs for death he sticks to you like glue and has amazing sustain. Keep the map warded and expect his ultimate otherwise you will be bursted down to 1hp and only require a nudge to be out of commission for te next minute. I recommend that you deep ward early as he will enter your teams jungle a lot a gank from weird angles. Finally i suggest that you keep your distance and fight with rockets so you aren't focused to much off of him.

Olaf 10/10 Jungler Matchup Olaf will just walk through your team and kill you when you are playing Jinx buy early sustain to help survive this threat and burst him down. Depending on if he goes cinderhulk will give you the answer of whether you should be buying Blade of the Ruined King against him for further sustain and self peel. Your crowd control won't matter during this matchup just play your best and keep your distance away from him.

Pantheon 6/10 Jungler Matchup Pantheon Ultimate is probably the biggest threat the AOE radius is quite large and you have no dash to escape it quickly if you have no Flash try to place your Flame Chompers! in the middle of the circle to prevent him from stun leaping towards you. Expect him to dodge a lot of your damage with his passive negating a lot of your auto attacks. This isn't that hard of a matchup as he will fall of quickly just scale into late and you will be able to kill him no problemo!

Quinn 7/10 Jungler Matchup Quinn Jungle is a niche pick, it does work she is basically going to be a kamakaze pilot with valor and aim to kill you then Vault out of the battle. Beware the blind so buy yourself that Quicksilver Sash you will outscale her in teamfights and damage in mid-late but just be careful of being assassinated by her.

Rammus 5.5/10 Jungler Matchup Rammus I don't see much anymore but he is still a threat for you with his taunt and speed. Quicksilver Sash again as usual is your go to item for his taunt. He will buy a thornmail so go Bloodthirster to survive long engaging fights with him in. He is one of the very few champions you will struggle vs. in terms of item choices as you will need everything ASAP against him but apart from that he isn't that much of a pain in this meta.

Rek'Sai 8/10 Jungler Matchup Rek'Sai is the other queen of the jungle at the moment being a alternate version of [Elise]] in terms of utility for a team. Basically her knockup is the alternate to a Cocoon play very safe into this champion position is key stay away from her while she is burrowed into the ground and only attack her when she is on someone else to prevent yourself from being focused. PLAY SAFE! She has a lot of high base damage in her kit similar to that of a tank like Malphite and doesn't need to build damage to be useful. I recommend you take Braum Or Tahm Kench again to help with peel against her or just to save you from her.

Rengar 11/10 Jungler Matchup Rengar yeah this is your worst nightmare as a marksman. He is just going to kill you over and over and over again with his ultimate. Take Zhonya's Hourglass if you can't survive against him this nullifies his abilities and his cooldowns disappear making it impossible for him to catch you off guard anymore and it gives your team reaction time to help you. He is squishy though so take full focus on him when his ultimate is off cooldown. I do recommend that you stay completely out of fights till rengar appears this way you are ensured no threat.

Riven 4/10 Jungler Matchup Riven jungle kinda sucks to be fair it scales poorly and unless she gets some easy kills she will be useless. Not as useful as the toplane Riven you should be able to kite her as she will be weaker. Just use your flash clever and chain your crowd control on her.

Sejuani 6/10 Jungler Matchup Sejuani got gutted she is still a colossal pain but she isn't as strong as she used to be. The ultimate is dodgeable and obvious to predict if you are fast enough. The only way to be caught off guard if she hides the animation alongside her dash.Buy Blade of the Ruined King in this matchup to help peel for yourself as she is tricky to kill still despite the nerfs.

Shaco 7.5/10 Jungler Matchup Shaco is deceptive deep pink vision, click on both targets when he ultimate's as one will have no stats this helps you differentiate between the two. Also the one with a buff will help give you an idea to the real identity. You can burst down his boxes quite easily but stick with your support most the game so you aren't bursted by surprise. I would recommend taking a tank with you though!

Shen 4.5/10 Jungler Matchup Shen has a terrible clear he is really only useful for his ultimate to use a gank method. Just back off when the ultimate is used and you shouldn't have a problem vs. him as a jungler. Buy Quicksilver Sash for the taunt as this will become a nuisance for you. I recommend that you stay roughly the range of your Zap! away from him when you are by yourself so he cannot hit you with his taunt.

Shyvana 8/10 Jungler Matchup Shyvana is kiteable she has no reliable crowd control she just has a lot of movement speed and damage. Focus her when she has very little rage as she will be a much easier target to burst. If she does jump on you in dragon form just peg it one and auto attack orb her to burst her down safely. I recommend that you again take a hard crowd control based support if you are vsing her such as Braum (yeah his passive is too good for a lot of bad jungler matchups} /spoiler]

Sion 6/10 Jungler Matchup Sion has a lot of varied crowd control just don't get stuck in a eternal cc loop and you should be alright. Care for his passive zombie form killing you after any potential 1 v 1 situations and be careful of his ultimate as he can take you out of action long enough to chain lots of crowd control on top of you. Buy yourself that Blade of the Ruined King for this matchup and you should be able to peel him quickly enough.

Skarner 7/10 Jungler Matchup Skarner isn't to bad now he got gutted as well just buy Quicksilver Sash after your Infinity Edge as this will prevent you from being targeted as he will not waste the ultimate on you anymore. He does have a lot of damage but he is easy enough to kite around just AA orb around him and use your chompers effectively.

Tahm Kench 8/10 Jungler Matchup Tahm Kench is very hard for you to kill when he is a jungler. He deals insane amounts of damage, sustains for extended periods of time and can keep you out of the fights permanently. Play very carefully and buy that Blade of the Ruined King it's imperative. Proceed this guy with caution it will be a very tough match to win he can flank you when he ganks and stop you from escaping or surviving.

Talon 3/10 Jungler Matchup Talon is useless as a jungler this season it's no threat he will be extremely behind most the game and you will outscale him all game. The only threat he provides his invisibility burst but you should have Greater Stealth Totem by the time he is a threat in that sense.

Teemo 4/10 Jungler Matchup Teemo jungle is cancer, the blind is really annoying. Depending on if he is building AP/AD makes all the difference on how he will play. Just be careful where you go into the enemy jungle or your own he will ambush you and flank you. Again this is a Quicksilver Sash matchup otherwise you won't be dealing any damage at all. His ganking potential is pretty weak he is more of a nuisance than anything.

Trundle 7/10 Jungler Matchup Trundle is difficult for a number of reasons he is able to consistently outsustain you and steal your stats away from you to weaken your potential counter abilities. Watch out for his pillar slow and keep your distance. He will focus you primarily. His ganking potential is easy from level 3 he can just flank you from behind if you are pushed so let them push the wave towards you to prevent this from becoming a nightmare. I recommend taking an early Bloodthirster if he is around.

Tryndamere 2/10 Jungler Matchup Tryndamere isn't much of a threat from the jungle he takes to long trying to clear jungle camps, has very little to offer when ganking and can be counter ganked quite easily. Even with his ultimate you should be fine against him as a jungler as he is very squishy. Just lock him down with crowd control and achieve that free kill to snowball from.

Twitch 3.5/10 Jungler Matchup Twitch jungle isn't used often but if you do come across it expect a level 2 gank botlane. Just be aware of this I assure you he will F*ck you up. Be very aware of how deep you push the lane as he can surprise you with his damage early on while you are level 1. Apart from this early ganking he doesn't offer much in terms of map control for objectives and is basically just like an ordinary ADC and scales in the late game but it's to late by then.

Udyr 7/10 Jungler Matchup Udyr will chase you down all day, you won't kill him and he will just laugh in whatever form he had when he killed you. THis is a scary matchup he is really hard to chase or kill or even escape from just play smart and back off if your jungler is not there to help. He can gank quite early on and take an early drake so make sure you keep it warded around 4-5 minutes into the game so he doesn't snowball every lane.

Vi 9/10 Jungler Matchup Vi ultimate is undodgeable play Sivir instead. Well to be fair you don't want to play her so just take Morgana for your support she can spell shield the crowd control aspect of Vi's ultimate this should keep you alive. Be careful of her Vault Breaker it's quite dodgeable if you can anticipate the distance and angle she is using it from. Although she will catch you off guard at times using flash to hit you in a instant. Orb walk kite her and you should be able to kill her quickly in the mid-late game. If she goes full damage just stay away she will assassinate you very quickly.

Volibear 4/10 Jungler Matchup Volibear has a flip that's pretty much it. Just wait for his four legged stance to expire and he will back off. Very weak jungler in terms of ganking ability he is predictable. He is a health tank though so build Blade of the Ruined King like usual vs. HP TANKS!!! Be careful of his execute and his HP regen from his passive apart from that you should be okay against him.

Warwick 7/10 Jungler Matchup Warwick is like malzahar buy that Quicksilver Sash as soon as humanly possible and he will stop ulting you cause it's a waste. Just make sure that you rush this again after your Infinity Edge to get the most use out of it during the game. Be careful of this champions hunting ability and sustain he is a great dualist so do not fight him 1 v 1. Try to place chompers on yourself if you expect him to use his ultimate on you as this will cancel his supress. Proceed match with caution and keep vision on the champion.

Wukong 7/10 Jungler Matchup Wukong has a surprisingly good jungle, he can burst you down quite easily with his full combo of skills and he can also be a good tank. Be careful of Wukong make sure you buy yourself some Control Ward's so you can reveal him when he goes invisible. Be careful of his extended auto range when he activates his Q and his leap when he activates his E. His ultimate is a mass AOE knockup that allows him to move around so he can chase you down and do immense amount of damage. Stick your chompers in front of the direction you are running again and you should have a easier time to escape. I also recommend that you sustain early to survive his onslaught.

Xin Zhao 7/10 Jungler Matchup Xin Zhao sticks to ADC's like glue be careful of his excessive ganks similar to that of Lee Sin he can stay with you in the botlane just to tilt you. I recommend playing passive in lane so you aren't caught out you want to actually make it to your late game. Ask for ganks from your jungler to help! I recommend that you buy a Banshee's Veil to block his knockbacks.

Yorick 5/10 Jungler Matchup Yorick is a annoying champion but his sustain is odd in the jungle. Don't expect many ganks from a Yorick jungler early on so he is no threat. If he does gank you just kill the ghouls and don't get trapped inside his cone of death.

Zac 6/10 Jungler Matchup Zac is a moderately hard matchup he has a lot of crowd control and he is a HP TANK! Buy Blade of the Ruined King to peel him easier. I know you may have difficulty in positioning but sidestep the opposite direction when he is about to jump on you to try and kite around. He will gank you a lot early on so keep deep vision so you don't have to struggle.

Now we are near the end of the guide, thanks for reading this far and this is the best part all the juicy gameplay! Learn how to do the correct things in each stage of the game on Jinx to make sure you are playing her correctly! I hope the guide has helped you in some way and I appreciate you getting this far.

• You want to start your early game by going over a gameplan in your mind from champ select. Think of what you want to focus on in your laning phase, whether it's more farming orientated for a certain matchup. Wanting to wait in the bush for an enemy to burn a summoner spell with your team. Maybe taking a camp because your jungler has started on the other side of the map. Regardless when you have decided you want to shot call this concept to your team for an opinion. For example if you have a Thresh it may be a good idea for your team to invade the enemy jungle because he can catch someone out of place, thus granting a early kill for someone on your team. Don't be afraid to shot call as the ADC your opinion matters just like everyone else. Some LCS teams have their shotcaller from the botlane. I like to make sure the team listens to me so I can be protected when I'm the carry. That's your aim as Jinx it's in the roles name = Attack Damage Carry! <--- see this you are expected to carry your team to victory.
  
  

  ---

  
  
• Next step after however you have started your game your main aims will be to farm your minion wave and harass the enemy ADC simultaneously. Whenever you find your lane opponent stepping forward into the minion wave your focusing use your [Fishbones, the rocket launcher]] on the minions to acquire some splash damage onto the adc. This will be known as pushing the wave and making it easier for you to take control and also dominating them with your pressure. Don't be afraid of recieving some damage back they may overharass you and put themselves in harms way this will be an overextension and you can punish them for this with your Zap! & Flame Chompers! thus zoning them away from their farm allowing you to overtake their CS. Take note, using to much mana though doing this can put you in harms way when you need to use your spells to secure kills or escape from jungler ganks so be patient and don't over do it.
  
  

  ---

  
  
• As well as farming and harassing you shouldn't be afraid to attempt to get kills, Jinx snowballs very fast and early kills will allow you to hit your power spike faster. I find pushing the lane for a early level 2 will allow you to have higher base stats from HP to AD and you should be able to chain cc lock someone on the botlane for a easy kill thanks to the easy peel from your support. A second advantage will be to use your Super Mega Death Rocket! for executions across the map on other laners this can grant you a free kill unexepectedly and allow free advantage in a stale botlane.
  
  

  ---

  
  
• Make sure you focus objectives while botlane, Drake is very important in the early levels and granting your team a free objective with your jungler with superior timing is crucial. Take not of enemies basing and where the enemy jungler is with plenty of vision this will allow you to safely take these objectives without any force.

• By the time mid game has come around you should have a Infinity Edge, Berserker's Greaves and maybe a Zeal this is the time of the game where you should now be roaming around the jungle taking as many of the camps you can find that are free. I usually like to take the red buff, krugs and raptors as the jungler should be focusing on mid/top lane ganking now and they will be free to take. If your jungler does start complaining about this stop taking them but most players will understand you will need them to snowball.
  

  ---

  
  
  
• Next you will be initiating teamfights in midlane trying to push the towers with your team, wait for someone to make a play and do what Jinx does best and play to her teamfighting advantages. Position yourself safely in the backline and use your peel to deal as much DPS you can use your Zap! & Flame Chompers! to chain crowd control and help your team as much as you can. Use your Fishbones, the Rocket Launcher when you can't afford to stay in a safe range to use Pow-Pow, the Minigun this will allow you to stay in a safe range and not be hit by skillshots.
  
  

  ---

  
  
• Continue to keep an eye out for great opportunities to use your ultimate Super Mega Death Rocket! Throughout the game to push your lead.
  
  

  ---

  
  
• Be ready to choose which items you should be focusing on next from this point for the late game, decide which item is the optional one. Whether you need Last Whisper for the tank who is the carry for the enemy team or Bloodthirster that will help sustain you through the common occurence of teamfights.

• So you finally hit late game this is the important part of the game for Jinx you should have a decent KDA at this point. You should have a steady flow of items that are dealing mass AOE damage to the enemy. Make sure that you have upgraded your trinket from level 9 + this will allow more consistent vision on the map to keep you safe against enemy threats. Considering your lack of mobility someone like Zed may have a good chance of sneaking up on you and assassinating you, taking you out of the fight before it has begun.
  
  

  ---

  
  
• Stay with your team and focus objectives such as baron nashor, drake & towers/inhibitors. Make use of your teams composition using their initiation to wipe out the enemy one by one. You would be best having 1 defensive item incase your team goes to deep without you and you are left alone to fend for yourself. Always make sure you but a Mercurial Scimitar or a Banshee's Veil as these usually offer the best protection.
  
  

  ---

  
  
• Make sure you buy an elixir if you have exhaust your full build it can help make the difference. Also don't be afraid to switch up if you have spare gold if you feel an item is underperforming making more damage when your being dominated at your nexus may help save the game.
