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

When Zed plays on the same team as Jinx, he sees a little decrease in his complete damage output. This could indicate that Jinx does not provide protection for him to deal more damage or that her allyship also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Zed is played with Jinx on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Jinx.
Moreover, when Zed plays with Jinx on the same side, he typically receives a little less damage than when he fights alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Jinx does a decent job of protecting Zed in team fights.

Is Zed better when played alongside Jinx?
There is no ideal champion pairing for Zed that will 100% of the time be his #1 ally. However, Jinx is a pretty good companion for Zed. By playing on the same team as Zed, she raises their win rate by 1.2% to 49.6%. This shows that there is a potentially meaningful bond between Zed and Jinx that results in them performing better together than alone.
Jinx has a lower difficulty than Zed. That means you don't need to be very careful when lining up Jinx allies to fight alongside, as they will need a lower level of skill to cooperate well with you.
Playing alongside, Zed players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. When paired, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
Conversely, by grouping Zed and Jinx together, you will not be granting your side a lot of engage potential. Plan to include other champions on your team that nullifies this hole in their potential.
Regardless of your Jinx ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
