Does Jinx overshadow Caitlyn?

I was just trying to pick a new shortlist of marksman mains, and I realized that everything that Caitlyn can do, jinx can do too, but kind of better. Caitlyn's unique mechanic's are Headshot, net (can be useful, but often feels underwhelming) and the lock on of her Ult (as much a con as it is a pro). I love caitlyn, she was my main for an entire season, but I feel like jinx just brings so much more power and still has the threatening range that caitlyn has?

Agree/Disagree/Ideas?

Caitlyn is simply more reliable. More reliable harass, more reliable CC, more reliable ult. She also has a method of self-peel that is probably best in class.

Jinx simply has more damage to make up for her general lack of safety, and it's still skill-indexed enough that the "conversion" can't really be considered better or worse.

Comparatively, Caitlyn has a much better laning phase, and Jinx focuses mostly on being a hyper-carry.
