Read from Twitch's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Jinx.
This is Twitch's own plan; across 18,466 pooled games the lane is leaning Twitch.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Jinx | At level 1 Jinx's Pow-Pow rockets and Zap zone you off the wave. |
| Level 2 | Jinx | At level 2 her ranged switch-hitter poke still keeps you from walking up. |
| Level 3 | Twitch | At level 3 your three-stack poison and Ambush all-in out-trade her point-blank. |
| Levels 4-5 | Twitch | Through levels 4-5 you keep the all-in edge before her rocket ramp scales. |
| Level 6 | Twitch | At 6 Spray and Pray detonates poison across her while her ult only finishes. |
| First item | Twitch | With your first item your DPS matches her ramp and you close her kite gap. |
| Two+ items | Twitch | By two-plus items your stealth flank denies her the free-fire space she needs. |
Levels 1-2 go to Jinx: her switch-hitter kit lets Pow-Pow rockets and a long Zap poke you off the wave before your poison stacks, so absorb the harass and just farm. Her rockets and Zap keep you off the wave before your poison matters, so absorb the harass and farm at the back. Venom Cask is your answer to a step-up rather than a way in. Ward the brush her support wants, and take the plate rather than the trade on every crash.
