Am I wasting my time maining Jinx? I really like her playstyle but will I be able to main her in ranked? Or is there some who is similar that I should practice with more? Thanks. (Working on being a bot main with JG as back up) thanks!

What makes you think jinx isn't viable in high elo? :o If that's your play style stick with it. If you're good at it than more reason to stick with it. Master Yi for example is a very bad jungler due to lack of cc, just pure dmg, squishy and all but there are Yi mains that are actually good at him in high elo. For example like Cowsep. Just because the champion is bad performance on most people doesn't really make it not good necessary. That's what I'm trying to say.

Yes. She's acutally a really crazy damage dealer once picked up a few items. She's by no mean one of the safer ADCs because of bad laning phase & no reliable escape, but position yourself right and knowing when to use Minigun/Rocket and she can shred people really effectively. I'm much less agitated to die vs a Jinx than say Twitch or Tristana because she sorta has to work her way to be a real "hyper-carry", a title that seems like can be put on any adc nowadays.

What do you consider high elo?

Everything is viable until high diamond or so, so if say, gold is 'high' for you as a level 22, then jinx is totally viable.

When/if you do get to high diamond+, then very specific tunings and resulting meta can change the viability of climbing further with specific champions, but what is meta now and what is meta at the point you get there might be different things.
