Is there a downside to picking her? Cuz I've yet to see one

No, anyone, please give 2 good reasons as to why someone would ever pick MF or Caitlyn over Jinx. There's no downside to picking Jinx, unless you're gonna say crap like "but muh weak early game", which is barely even the case.

Low mobility. If u arent 100% confident in your team and their protection ,you gonna be wrecked. Your only defensive tool are chompers which arent very reliable.

Miss fortune has strut and nice aoe slow, caitlyn has trap and her E, Lucian has dash, Graves has dash,slow and is tanky cuz of his passive, vayne is... vayne, Varus has aoe slow and ulti , Ashe has stun, Kog'maw has hugeeee range and nice slow, Corki has Valkyrie, Ezreal is McHammer(cant touch this), Tristana has Rocket jump and ulti, Sivir has ulti and E, Draven has speed up and slow, Quinn has ulti and slow on E, Twitch has invisibility and speed buff. Kalista can hop. Jinx is literally champion with least reliable escape and peel tool, and relies way too much on team.

Who's needs a dash when upon killing anything except creeps you gain a large surge of movespeed on the level of highlander?

not only kills. thats the part that pisses me off. assists aswell. one random assist because one of her rockets dealt some aoe damage to the target and she starts rolling and running around at lightspeed.

Pretty sure it's a nuke related missile that travels anywhere aimed and explodes in a aoe upon impact.

And for a "long-range execute" it deals considerable dmg to a point-blank target.

Caitlyn has better safety from the start, once she gets 4 items she is a safe and strong carry that can protect herself.

Miss fortune has stronger bases and is a better lane bully. Miss Fortunes Ult hits hard now that is actually scales. She works extremely well in AoE comps. Has good roam potential.

Jynx also is very vulnerable to assassins. She spends mana for her range. Range is only 525 in minigun mode. A lot of carries have better base values on abilities over her.

Miss Fortune = lane bully... Right. The enemy has to be retarded to be hit by her q bounce and she will run oom super fast, if she spams abilities.

50 mana for that ability means you got all of the time in the world to fish for it.

Also it is not that hard to hit it.

i play all 3. i tend to prefer caitlyn honestly. I liek mf when our team cant peel/split push sort of team. I prefer jinx if the front line is very solid.

You have no reliable mobility.

Not that it's going to matter with Lulu mid + your support's kit + the jungler + your top to protect you.
