Jinx vs Vex Matchup Summary

The Jinx vs Vex matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 7 recent matches analyzed, Jinx wins with a 57.1% win rate compared to Vex's 42.9%, giving Jinx a 14.3 percentage point advantage. Jinx dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Vex players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Vex leads by 0.5s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Jinx players can confidently pick into Vex and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Vex away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
