Ezreal vs Jinx

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Ezreal wins short poke trades by landing (Q) through minion gaps before Jinx can safely retaliate.
Jinx scales harder but lacks mobility, so Ezreal must leverage (E) for safety and punish her stepping out for CS.
The lane turns on Ezreal controlling wave states that expose Jinx to skillshot poke without losing (E) defensively.

Trading pattern

Punish Jinx when she steps forward for ranged minions by hitting (Q) plus an auto if enemy support can't respond.
Avoid trading if (E) is down, as Jinx's support can engage and punish your reduced mobility.
Use (W) into auto after (Q) poke windows when Jinx is outside minion cover and support threat is low.

Danger windows

Avoid stepping forward when (E) root is available and enemy support can follow up immediately.
Be cautious after using (E), as you become vulnerable to Jinx's all-in or support engage.
Respect (Q) rocket range poke when minions block your (Q), limiting your counter-poke options.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin caster minions and create (Q) angles that bypass Jinx's rockets.
At level 2, hold (E) to dodge (W) slow and punish her when she commits to last hits.
Avoid pushing past river without vision to prevent support engage, especially when Jinx holds (E) for zone control.

Power spikes

First completed item lets Ezreal control wave and objective setups by landing repeated (Q) poke safely.
Two-item spike enhances poke cooldown cycling, allowing Ezreal to soften Jinx before fights start.
Level 6 (R) offers wave clear and execute potential to finish low-health targets or influence cross-map fights.

Win conditions

Convert poke damage into lane priority to crash waves and deny Jinx safe CS and plates.
Use health and item leads from poke to force Jinx recalls before dragon or turret pressure.
Scale safely into mid-game item spikes to outpoke and outposition Jinx in teamfights with superior mobility.
