How do you kite as jinx?

Just use your Q to switch to rockets. You're out of their attack range that way. If they come in to trade and deal damage, punish them by landing a W if possible, then drop some traps slightly behind them. At that point, it's up to your to follow it up with your support or back off.

If you're using your rockets to auto, is it really kiting? It's more just poking the enemy. At most points in the game, your attack speed is too slow to kite well with rockets.

If your goal is to simultaneously attack while moving towards a desired direction, you need attack speed and need to cancel animations

Get your minigun to 3 stacks first if anything if you're finding it difficult. If they get too close for your liking, drop traps between yourself and them. They'll either walk into them or walk around to avoid them which will create more distance between the two of you.

Using W at the wrong time will just make you stand still for its casting animation and screw you over (especially if you miss).

If you manage to kill someone, your passive pretty much kites for you.

you use attack move click or attack move.

Attack move click enemy, click to the direction you want to go in between autos and repeat.

Honestly, you don't have as much kiting potential as Kalista and Vayne.

As a tradeoff for the immense hypercarry damage you have late-game and objective control, you're a little more team reliant. Take down a turret or get a kill/assist and it's certainly easier, but you just can't kite as well without your passive.

If you want more independence, you can pick a more independent carry but you're sacrificing what Jinx brings to the table. It sucks, but ADC's are balanced to be a little more dependent. Hard to complain when you get a support during the laning phase >.> (and no, they're not just there to ward for you :P )

are you serious?

you have 700 auto attack range a 70% slow and a line of mines that can completely block off a jungle path. im sure you can come up with something.

just practise positioning.

You just sorta crit fish and wait for resets.

the same way you kite with any other adc. you A-click.

or attack move is the proper term.

but basically yeah. if you dont know what that is I suggest looking up Phylol's video on it.

Beyond that, its all about managing space and cancelling the auto animation once the particle has come out to get maximum distance after you attack.

remember, unless you have a way of infinitely kiting like blue build ezreal or vayne in general, you are eventually going to get caught up to by anyone with enough speed and gap closers. this is because when you are kiting you are stopping to attack and they arent. so they will over time gain ground on you. the point is not to avoid damage altogether but to get as much damage in as you can before they get to you.

As jinx you would stay in rocket form for as long as possible and once they got close enough switch to your minigun because the attack speed is much better. you can use your traps to peel for yourself so they have to walk around them to buy yourself some time. or if they are dumb enough to walk on them thats great. right as the snare ends you can shoot out W and it slows them buying you more time.

but again, this is only buying you time. eventually they will catch up to you.

Other ways of peeling for yourself are bork for the movespeed steal to create more space and keep kiting, heal, flash. this should be a lot. if you die after using all of that you were probably going to die anyway and your team is an idiot for not protecting you. as you are a hyper carry.
