Tips for Playing as Jinx with Zed
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.
Advice to Understand How Zed Will Play
Placing a Living Shadow before using Death Mark can give Zed a safe escape from combat.
Saving energy and spell cooldowns until you use your ultimate will maximize Death Mark's damage.
Quickly double tapping Living Shadow will teleport Zed to his shadow immediately for rapid escapes.

Overall, Jinx sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Zed. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Zed helps Jinx perform worse in competitive League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.
When Jinx plays on the same team as Zed, she sees a marginal improvement in her complete damage dealt. This change may signal that Zed helps provide protection for her to deal more damage or that his support also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Jinx is played alongside Zed on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Zed.
Additionally, when Jinx plays with Zed on the same side, she typically takes a little more damage than when she plays alone. Receiving more damage could indicate that Zed does a poor job of covering Jinx in team fights.

Is Jinx better when played alongside Zed?
There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Jinx that will no matter what be her best ally. Yet, overall, Zed is a very typical ally for Jinx. By locking into the same side as Jinx, he lowers their win rate by -0.2% to 49.6%. This demonstrates that there is a weak synergy between Jinx and Zed that results in them performing not as well together than alone.
Zed has a greater difficulty than Jinx. That means you must be careful when enlisting Zed comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.
Fighting cooperatively, Jinx players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Together, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
In contrast, by aligning Jinx and Zed together, you may not be giving your other allies much protection for burst damage. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that offsets this gap in their potential.
Regardless of the ability of your Zed ally, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
