Jinx is anti fun

Even if she gets completely shut down in lane she is able to farm and get 3-4 items and hard carry. her passive allows her to remain unpunished for poor positioning because she is impossible to catch after she gets the insane movement speed. her q allows her to get almost 2.0 attack speed with only 1 attack speed item. i feel like its insanely hard to counter and im open to any tips.

hi i play jinx so i know a thing or 2 on how to counter her that isnt just cc

  • q this can be a doozy and is really the best part of her kit but shes also outranged unless she goes to rocket where it sacritices speed for 10% her attack longer range and a splash so Ashe Varus Caitlyn Tristana are good counters here for adc

  • w its a skillshot thats super telegraphed way before it hit so its really your fault if you get zapped

  • e the one thing that she has for escape scouting and trapping this is really the hardest part to counter since a good jinx can and will chain cc with her support best i can suggest be aware of everything or bring Braum his sheild acts like terrain they go around his sheild like a wall

  • r this is her execute thats about it shell wanna do it some ways away to get the full damage so watch the map youll see it comeing befor it hits and when it does its only 30% missing hp so if your more than 30 with some armor your fine

general tips: jinx is squishy she has no escapes her passive procts when she gets a assist helps kill a structure and a kill (even then if its been like 5 seconds it wont proct) bring good hold down support champs like Blitzcrank or Thresh as a couple of examples and the formentioned adcs remember tho she is strong but she isnt op or anti fun by any means she can fail if her support sucks but so can every other adc hope this helped and remember a adc is nothing without support it takes 3 people to feed or starve them

Jinx is still quite strong. But if you shut her down and she is alone farming take advantage of that and start a team fight since they will be down 4v5. You'll be able to take advantage of that, get objectives, and snowball the game. Or head down to where she is fighting and gank her to shut her down more since she will be quite vulnerable. If you're asking for champion specific counters then thornmail will work wonders due to her reliance on auto attacks and lack of magic damage. Armor with attack speed reduction will also work out great for everyone on your team. And she doesn't get her movespeed until someone dies so that's a weakness.

Graves can easily take down a Jinx.

If you think Jinx is that bad of a champion and that godlike then I would suggest banning her in all draft pick games. Also learn to play the game by counters, that's how most players usually win - by countering.

Hello there! I love jinx so much that i will share some weaknesses to avoid nerfs.

  1. In this patch even maxing q the jinx will have mediocre attack speed until lvl 9 so be aggressive early and deny her farm
  2. if you have burst abilities on your champ use them as well as multiple spellblade procs to blow her up
  3. aside from the easily sidestepped zap, all her damage is aa so she hates thornmail, and blind, and that frozen shield thing
  4. i always overcommit with jinx counting on getting a kill for passives, it always bites me in the ass when the team learns to zone me away from the weak teammates in a team fight
  5. jinx is one of the best at kiting along with ash imo, so dont fight her in the open alone. Get a minion wave or a buddy before taking her on if you aren't confident.
  6. if she opens zap, you can get her to blow her mana by baiting her with easy shots and sidestepping... But she sucks anyway if she opened with zap :(

Okay well i hope this helps you enjoy your matchups! I really like a good fight with jinx so maybe you will face me in the future. 1v1 me bro! Jinx
