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.
Shen Jinx Synergy Stats
How to Play with Jinx as Shen in LoL
The Shen Jinx synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Jinx, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Shen sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Jinx. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Jinx helps Shen perform not as well in ranked League of Legends matches. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.
When Shen plays on the same team as Jinx, he gets a small decrease in his complete damage output. This difference may indicate that Jinx doesn't help cover for him to dish out more damage or that her presence on the team also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Shen is played alongside Jinx on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Jinx.
Additionally, when Shen plays with Jinx on the same side, he usually takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may mean that Jinx does a decent job of covering Shen in team fights.

Is Shen better when played alongside Jinx?
There is no one best synergy for Shen that will always be his ideal teammate. Yet, overall, Jinx is a very typical teammate for Shen. By being on the same team as Shen, she drops their win rate by -0.3% to 49.4%. This shows that there is a weak synergy between Shen and Jinx that results in them performing worse together than without each other.
Jinx has a greater difficulty than Shen. That means Shen players should be careful when enlisting Jinx teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to fight well with you.
Fighting alongside, you should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. Combined, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
In contrast, by pairing Shen and Jinx together, you will not be providing your other teammates very much AP. Plan to include other champions on your team that offsets this relative disparity in their potential.
Regardless of the skill of your Jinx teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
