Key takeaways

  • Current data slightly favors Jinx, but the sample is too limited for a strong conclusion: Veigar wins 45.0% of 229 games (95% range 38.7–51.5%).
  • Both champions' overall Bot win rates predict 47.5% for Veigar; the result is within the margin of error of that, so this matchup mostly reflects the two champions' general strength.
  • Jinx usually wins the lane: 209 gold ahead of Veigar at 15 minutes on average (222 games with a 15-minute snapshot).
  • Veigar players pick Cash Back far more often against Jinx: 5.1% of their other Bot games, 8.3% here.
How we calculate this

Games: ranked Solo/Duo and Flex games on the North America server from the patch shown. Remakes (games under 5 minutes) are excluded.

A game only counts when Veigar and Jinx played the same position on opposite teams, so roaming, lane swaps within a team or a champion merely being in the same game never count as this matchup.

The 95% range is a Wilson score interval. Confidence comes from how wide that range is: within ±3 points is very high, ±5 high, ±8 moderate, anything wider low. Below 20 games a matchup is not classified at all.

Expected win rate combines both champions’ win rates in this lane (same games and filters) with the log5 formula: E = A(1−B) / (A(1−B) + B(1−A)). Matchup effect = observed − expected.

"What changes" compares Veigar's choices in this matchup with the same champion's other games in the same lane, and lists a change only when it is at least 3 points and statistically significant (two-proportion z-test, |z| ≥ 2, 20+ games).

Results are not split by rank: the sample per rank is too small for honest per-rank matchup numbers.

What Veigar Changes Against Jinx

Choices Veigar players make noticeably more or less often in this matchup than in their other Bot games.

Best Veigar Build vs Jinx

Usual Veigar build (Bot)

77.8% win rate · 27 games

Against Jinx

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 10 of 180 Veigar games against Jinx carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Veigar's standard build instead.

  • Veigar usually completes Luden's Echo first, at 11.0 min (median of 145 games).
  • Jinx usually completes Hexoptics C44 first, at 10.8 min (median of 152 games).
  • Skill priority: Q > W > E — the same as usual.

Builds are ranked by the lower edge of their win rate range, not the raw win rate, so a build seen in a handful of wins never outranks a proven one.
