How to Use Jinx Counter Data
Every figure here, covering which champions give Jinx trouble and which ones she handles well, comes from live ranked ADC matchup data. At present Lux, Seraphine and Karthus are the toughest lanes for Jinx, since her win rate sinks furthest beneath her average in those pairings. Lux is the most punishing of the three: Jinx takes only 43.3% of 683 logged games against her. On the other side, Jinx has the upper hand against Varus, Corki and Syndra, which are good matchups to aim for during champion select.
Each card lists Jinx’s win rate in that matchup along with the game count behind it, and a result based on tens of thousands of games deserves more confidence than one built on a few hundred. Easy, Even and Hard tags are derived from those percentages (under 48% is labeled Hard, over 52% is labeled Easy), so they simply help with reading the numbers and are not a separate statistic. The pool covers ranked games at Emerald and above in every region, reflects patch 16.13.1, and updates every 48 hours, meaning the figures shift as the meta does. Matchups only tell part of the story, so pair them with the current Jinx build for the best items and runes, or visit the Jinx champion page for her abilities and complete details.
