Darius vs Jinx Matchup Summary

The Darius vs Jinx matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Darius wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Jinx's 40.0%, giving Darius a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Darius dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Jinx players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Darius leads by 1,197 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Darius players can confidently pick into Jinx and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Jinx away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
