Advice to Understand How Jinx Will Play
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.

Overall, Alistar sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Jinx. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN.

This could signal that Jinx does not support by providing cover for him to dish out more damage or that her presence also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Alistar is played with Jinx on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Jinx. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Jinx.
Moreover, when Alistar plays with Jinx on the same team, he usually receives a little less damage than when he plays alone. Receiving not as much damage could indicate that Jinx does a decent job of covering Alistar during teamfights.

Is Alistar better when played alongside Jinx?
There is no perfect companion for Alistar that will 100% of the time be his #1 ally. However, Jinx is a very typical companion for Alistar. By locking into the same side as Alistar, she lowers their win rate by -0.4% to 49.0%. This demonstrates that there is not really a strong bond between Alistar and Jinx that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.
Jinx has a lower difficulty than Alistar. That means you don't need to be very careful when lining up Jinx comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to be able to do well with you.
Working alongside, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. Together, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
Although, by pairing Alistar and Jinx together, you probably will not be giving your other allies a lot of magical damage output. We recommend you include other champs on your team that nullifies this relative disparity in this pairing's capabilities.
Regardless of your Jinx ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
