Laning


Always start Q at level 1 on Jinx, your Q skill is the best skill to start with. Using minigun atack speed buff will be helpful to push the lane. Level 2 priority is important, even more important if your support is like Natilus, Thresh, or any other support that has great lvl2 powerspike. Your Q Rockets will be useful to poke enemy laners. You should always use your rockets to poke enemies with it's area damage. You can even poke them while using your rockets on caster minions, if enemies are a bit near. Your rockets will also help you to push the lane, but don't forget that it reduces your attack speed and every rocket will cost you 20 mana. Do not try to trade with enemies if you don't have the minion advantage. Don't forget to calculate minion damage too.

If you have the lane advantage, and if you think you can win all-in, so basically if your support has a strong early game, with the minion advantage you can freeze the lane instead of pushing in order to make enemy adc lose minion gold and maybe some xp. However, you should do this carefully and you should follow up enemy moves. When enemy adc does a bad move, you with your support can easily takedown, punish enemy adc.

Mid game

As a Jinx player, your late game is extremely good. So in order to carry, you should level up and buy items as fast as you can. But to buy items you need gold.
Mid game is a bit hard for Jinx. As a bot laner, you should always get gold and maximize your income. How will you do this?; of course won't go to mid lane expecting to do a fight. Instead, you will push empty lanes. When mid game begins(after min14 or first turret) You should continue maximizing your income by farming. Be careful to not risk your position while doing this.

Let's say that top lane outer turrets aren't destroyed yet. However, you destroyed enemy bot lane's outer turret and enemy bot lane destroyed your outer turret. In this point, you can't push bot lane more than middle of the lane. Reason is, if you try to push more, you may get attacked by enemies. So what you have to do is to push until the middle of the lane, and then go to another lane. This can be top lane or mid lane. If your top laner is not staying in top lane, you can go to there and farm safe. Another choice is, you can go to mid lane and push the wave, create pressure, but without attacking the turret. This pressure will make enemies come to mid lane and your top laner will easily get the top lane turret.

Positioning

As an ADC, one of the hardest things to do is to take position. Especially when enemies are made up of many assasins, you may die quite fast. If enemy has high CC, they can kill you easily. However, if you take well position, you can survive.

Actually, taking position can be learned by experiencing teamfights. However, there are some important points;
1. Don't start the fight!
You are not the frontliner, you are the carry, the most important person in the team! In order to win, you must not risk yourself by starting a fight.

2. Stay back! Calculate enemy damage and CC and play knowing it. Try to involve fights after enemies use their main CC skills, like Veigar E, Cassiopeia R, and so on.

3. Kite! You must kite enemy players in team fights. Kiting is basically same as taking position after every atack. So you must take position, renew your position after casting an ability or auto attacking.



YOU ARE READY TO FIGHT! YOU ARE A JINX PRO!

If you have read all the guide, you are now a Jinx pro! You can destroy your enemies in SoloQ!

You can post my mistakes, for me to fix them. Thanks for reading my guide!

You should include what Jinx excels at, she destroys towers real fast with her Q AS steroid, making her able to break plates fast, and I think her passive is what makes Jinx a late-game hyper carry, and a true force to be scared from if she is ahead.
If she gets a kill/ assist late game, her passive kicks in and madness starts, making her hard to catch and dealing a lot of damage with her AS/DPS.
