I'm trying to enjoy playing Jinx... but I just can't

There are times when I say to myself. It's okay, we can win this.

I've said it as Twisted Fate, I've said it as Lucian. Heck I've said it as Jungle Urgot. But I've never said that as Jinx. Why? Because even with the amazing attack speed steroid, the ability to kill turrets, and the ...umm. Yeah I can't see any reason why to play Jinx.

I don't know when it became forbidden to play an ADC without an escape because you'd get absolutely murdered. All the Yi's, Rek'Sai, Fizz, Zed, J4, Vi, Lee Sin, Lissandra (yeah ikr), Leona's who just need to stun you when your flash is down and boom. Dead Jinx.

And this isn't even in teamfights. Like I can't see the point of trying to farm against the ADCs who can escape with long range, the supports who make sure that you're dead if you try and farm halfway from the turret.

And why bother splitpushing? Your lack of escape spells death.

I know I'm sounding upset. I just want to be able to play champions like Jinx who have amazing tools in their kit but can't use them because they'd get obliterated.

Glad I'm not the only one.

I feel like I need a team with atleast 2+ peels to do actually any good late game and to survive a Khazix or Zed or whatever the fuck is after me.

Then stand further away where it's safe and shoot rockets at them. Only get close enough to minigun when you know it's safe. Jinx can be a monster in teamfights if you just don't let them get to you.

Except I'm not having problem in teamfights. Everywhere EXCEPT teamfights that I'm actually at is where I have problems as Jinx. I'm far from a fight so I carry my slow ass into a fight. I try firing a rocket into a teamfight but by some miracle (or the bush is warded idk), it miss or it reaches as soon as the enemy is dead.

Stuck in botlane farming? Proceed to have the enemy jungler who's a level behind 1v1 you because they move faster than you with their chilling smite.

Sivir: 53.83 winrate Jinx: 53.38 Graves: 51.34 Draven: 51.06 Kog'Maw: 51.04 MF:51.02 Ashe: 50.76

These are all adc champs whose winrate is more than 50% and only Graves has an escape.
