Tips for Playing as Jinx against Garen
Rockets aren't always the best choice! Jinx's minigun is incredibly powerful when fully ramped up. Switch to it whenever an enemy champion gets too close.
Jinx's rockets deal full damage to all enemies in the explosion. Use them on minions in lane to hit nearby enemy champions without drawing minion aggro.
When a fight starts try to stay on the edge of fray by poking with rockets and Zap!. Do not run in and unload with the minigun until you feel it is safe.
Advice to Win Against Garen
Be careful about attacking Garen in brush. It often will lead to taking full damage from Judgment.
Stack armor items to lower the large amount of physical damage that Garen deals out.
Judgment deals maximum damage when only hitting a single target. If getting out of its radius isn't possible, move through allied minions to reduce damage taken.
Try to run away from Garen as your health gets lower, as he can execute you quickly with Demacian Justice.
