How to play as Jinx

Stay behind minions to deny Pyke's Q hook and do not walk far past your wave when he is missing; use Fishbones(Q) to farm and poke from safety instead.

If Pyke commits with E, place Flame Chompers(E) across his retreat path and use Zap(W) to slow or reveal him while your support follows up. (Unverified: no source confirms this note.)

Pyke's Q/E engage can punish Jinx's lack of mobility, but Jinx's Fishbones(Q) has longer reach and her W slow and E root can punish him if he overcommits.

How to play as Pyke

Look for an early Q hook into E follow-up with your ADC, or roam when Jinx is safely farming; leaving her passive in lane can give her room to poke and scale.
