Guide to Countering Soraka as Jinx

Tips for Playing as Jinx against Soraka

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 Soraka

It's easier to focus Soraka than the ally she is healing.

Focus on attacking Soraka when she ever ventures to the frontline to heal her allies.

Take advantage of Soraka's long cooldown on Equinox if she uses it to harass.
