What makes Jinx dangerous
Jinx switches between long-range rockets (AoE) and rapid-fire miniguns, and her passive gives huge attack and movement speed on every kill or assist, letting her snowball a won fight. Her traps and global ultimate zone and finish targets. She's weak and immobile early but becomes a game-ending late-game carry.
How to play against Jinx
- 1Punish her early — Jinx has no escape and short-range minigun damage before items. All-in her lane in the first 10-15 minutes.
- 2Deny her resets: never let her get the first kill in a teamfight, or her passive speed buff makes her impossible to catch. Focus or peel her before she snowballs the fight.
- 3She has zero mobility. Hard CC, dashes and assassins delete her — get on top of her before she can kite with her speed.
- 4Respect her rocket (AoE) range and her chompers traps around objectives — clear traps with sweepers and don't clump for her rockets.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓No dash or escape — highly vulnerable to engage.
- ✓Weak early game and short minigun range.
- ✓Falls off if denied kills/resets in fights.
- ✓Reliant on peel; punished by dive comps.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Jinx's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
Ich werd' verrückt!Jinx erhält stark erhöhtes Lauf- und Angriffstempo, wenn sie dabei hilft, einen gegnerischen Champion, ein episches Dschungelmonster oder ein Gebäude zu töten bzw. zu zerstören.
Strong: kills and assists grant huge attack/move speed, snowballing fights. Weak: deny her the first kill and she can't run away with the fight.
Q
Waffenwechsel!Jinx kann für ihre normalen Angriffe zwischen Peng-Peng, ihrer Minigun, und Gräte, ihrem Raketenwerfer, wechseln. Angriffe mit Peng-Peng gewähren Angriffstempo, während Angriffe mit Gräte Flächenschaden verursachen und eine erhöhte Reichweite gewähren, dabei jedoch Mana verbrauchen und langsamer sind.
Strong: rockets are long-range AoE; minigun is high single-target DPS up close. Weak: minigun is short-range — engage her before she swaps to rockets and kites.
W
Brzl!Jinx nutzt Brzler, ihre Schockpistole, um einen Schuss abzufeuern, der am zuerst getroffenen Gegner Schaden verursacht, ihn verlangsamt und aufdeckt.
E
Flammenfresser!Jinx wirft eine Reihe Verlangsamungsgranaten, die nach 5 Sekunden explodieren und Gegner in Flammen setzen. Flammenfresser werden gegnerische Champions, die über sie hinweg laufen, erfassen und sie auf der Stelle festhalten.
R
Super-Mega-Todesrakete!Jinx feuert eine Superrakete über die Karte, die im Flug Schaden dazugewinnt. Die Rakete explodiert, wenn sie mit einem gegnerischen Champion kollidiert, und verursacht dann an diesem und Gegnern um ihn herum Schaden, dessen Höhe von ihrem fehlenden Leben abhängt.
Strong: a global rocket that executes low targets across the map. Weak: it's a slow skillshot allies can body-block — don't sit low in a straight line.
Itemization
Jinx is a crit AD marksman. Reach her with hard CC and dashes, use Exhaust in fights, and deny her the first kill to stop her passive snowball. Attack-speed slows (Randuin's, Frozen Heart) blunt her minigun DPS.
