Need help with playing Jinx

Trolosaurus··1 votes·793 views

I'm interested in maining Jinx as an ADC but in my practice runs in draft I always lose as her I max Q - W - E and rush IE followed by Runaan's, with the rest being situational. My biggest issue is in laning phase, as it seems everyone beats me.

While I'm not a big ADC player, I'd recommend against rushing Infinity Edge at the moment. IE is a little weak alone compared to other options.

I'd recommend buildingitem 1038 item 3085 for about the same gold cost. This is generally a better build for DPS and teamfighting/skirimishing, providing an earlier powerspike for a better mid-game.

Yeah, I would say that for Jinx and Caitlyn the attack speed is really good for csing and taking towers

Well she is late.

In lane just poke with your rockets and farm.

This is kind of my experience with her as well. =\ She's fun to play but I personally don't think she's particularly great right now. She can't really measure up to Ashe's CC. She can't match Jhin or MF's burst. She can't push as hard as Sivir (at least pre-Runaan's). She has the same global influence than Ezreal has with their ultimates but she's not nearly as safe as he is.

She has the potential to snowball harder than most Marksmen but it's just so hard to start that rolling.

I've tried and tried with Jinx but I can't make it work. I'm usually always out of mana and I still suffer from the issues most ADC's do like being able to be 1 shot by the latest champ with 10 different abilities.

It seems like the diagnosis is she isn't very good Should I try someone else?

Jinx is fine; just don't rush IE.

BF Sword into Runaan's Hurricane is more effective for approximately the same cost.
