Read from Jinx's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Twitch.
This is Jinx's own plan; across 18,466 pooled games the lane is leaning Twitch.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Jinx | Level 1 is Jinx's: Twitch is a weak short-range laner you can poke freely with Fishbones. |
| Level 2 | Jinx | Level 2 stays yours as you keep punishing him before he stacks venom. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 evens out once he has stealth utility and passive venom online. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are even skill, decided by vision and whether he catches you from stealth. |
| Level 6 | Twitch | Level 6 is Twitch's: Spray and Pray plus Contaminate gives him a flank-burst that outguns you when grouped. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even skill since both spike and his R-fueled burst rivals your DPS. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | With 2+ items it stays even: Twitch's late teamfight output matches Jinx's, so vision and spacing decide it. |
You win the opening levels 1-2 while Twitch is a weak, short-range laner, so poke him with Fishbones before he comes online. Take the first two levels while he is short-ranged, then rocket the wave to keep him farming in the open. Ward the flank angles rather than trying to guess them. Chompers behind your own position are what turn a stealth engage into a survivable one, so hold them instead of using them to push.
