Guide to Countering Nami as Jinx

Tips for Playing as Jinx against Nami

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 Nami

Aqua Prison is a very powerful ability with a long cooldown, take advantage of the situation if Nami misses this ability.

Tidal Wave has a very long range but travels slowly, be aware of when it is coming your way as you can move out of its path.

Try to avoid fighting an opponent affected by Tidecaller's Blessing, it lasts a short duration so waiting it out can help you greatly.

Both LoL champs are great. Both champs have their strengths, weaknesses, and counters. In League's current meta, Jinx usually fairs equally well when taking on Nami, with a 49.9% win rate. Therefore, Jinx makes an ok counter to Nami.

While Jinx does have a lower win rate compared to Nami, when facing one another, Jinx also has a greater difficulty level that makes her a more difficult character to learn and master. You should be careful when picking Jinx into Nami.

Additionally, Jinx also has only a small amount of CC and other utility, a similar amount to Nami. This makes her just as valuable during team fights, especially when trying to counter champions with a lot of burst damage.
