Jhin vs Vex Matchup Summary

The Jhin vs Vex matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Vex wins with a 80.0% win rate compared to Jhin's 20.0%, giving Vex a 60.0 percentage point advantage. Vex dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Jhin players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in damage output, where Vex leads by 385 DMG/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Vex has a strong advantage in this matchup. Jhin players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Vex overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
