Tips for Playing as Jinx with Maokai
Rockets aren't always the best choice! Jinx's minigun is incredibly powerful when fully ramped up. Switch to it whenever an enemy champion gets too close.
Jinx's rockets deal full damage to all enemies in the explosion. Use them on minions in lane to hit nearby enemy champions without drawing minion aggro.
When a fight starts try to stay on the edge of fray by poking with rockets and Zap!. Do not run in and unload with the minigun until you feel it is safe.

Try looking for flanks or other situations where Nature's Grasp is unavoidable or takes enemies by surprise.
Saplings can be tossed into brush for empowered effect - but don't stack well.
