Jinx vs Ezreal

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Jinx wins extended trades and scales harder, but must avoid Ezreal's poke and mobility early.
The lane turns on controlling wave states that allow safe rocket use and punishing Ezreal's last-hit positioning.
Ezreal benefits from neutral waves and poke angles; Jinx wants slow pushes near her side for safer scaling.

Trading pattern

Punish Ezreal's last-hit animations when he steps out from minion cover if enemy support can't immediately punish.
Use (W) to slow Ezreal after he commits to a last hit, then follow with autos if support peel is ready.
Avoid trading when (E) is available, as he can dodge poke and reposition for counter-engage.

Danger windows

(E) repositioning cooldown enables him to avoid trades and punish overextensions.
Support engage cooldowns combined with Ezreal stepping forward create high-risk windows for Jinx.
Stepping up when (Q) is unblocked by minions exposes Jinx to poke and forced retreats.

Early game

Hold the wave near your tower early to limit (Q) poke angles and reduce his dash threat.
Use (Q) rockets to contest clustered minions when Ezreal steps up for low-health caster last hits.
Avoid pushing past river without vision or support cover to prevent getting engaged on after Ezreal uses (E).

Power spikes

First completed item lets Jinx hold wave access and punish Ezreal's forced short trades more safely.
Two-item spike grants rocket range and resets to dominate longer fights and objective setups.
Level 6 (R) enables Jinx to influence fights from afar and finish low-health targets, increasing pressure.

Win conditions

Survive early poke by holding wave near tower and use rockets to contest clustered minions safely.
Convert health leads and poke windows into crash waves to take turret plates and force Ezreal recalls.
Scale into mid-late game item spikes to leverage resets and front-to-back DPS in teamfights around objectives.
