Guide to Countering Ziggs as Jinx

Tips for Playing as Jinx against Ziggs

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 Ziggs

Many of Ziggs' abilities have long cooldowns. Try catching him just after he's used his abilities.

Don't step on Ziggs' mines! They'll slow you and make it much easier for him to hit you with his other abiltiies.

Ziggs' ultimate, Mega Inferno Bomb, deals more damage in the center of the explosion.
