Guide to Synergizing Graves and Jinx

Tips for Playing as Graves with Jinx

Smoke Screen can be used both to escape and to set up a kill.

Using Quickdraw to get into range and delivering a point blank Buckshot can do lots of damage.

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, Graves sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Jinx. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

This could demonstrate that Jinx does not help cover for him to deal more damage or that her allyship also helps extend the round's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Jinx.

Is Graves better when played alongside Jinx?

There is no ideal synergy for Graves that will 100% of the time be his best ally. Yet, Jinx is a very typical companion for Graves. By locking into the same side as Graves, she drops their win rate by -0.1% to 50.4%. This proves that there is a weak synergy between Graves and Jinx that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Jinx has a greater difficulty than Graves. That means you should be very careful when finding Jinx allies to play with, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Fighting alongside, Graves players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Combined, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Conversely, by pairing Graves and Jinx together, you probably will not be giving your other teammates a great deal of support. Make sure to pick other champions on your team that nullifies this relative gap in their abilities.

Regardless of your Jinx ally's skill level, you should focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
