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.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Naafiri.
Moreover, when Jinx plays with Naafiri on the same side, she often takes a little less damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could indicate that Naafiri does a decent job of covering Jinx during teamfights.
