Laning against Jinx?

Matchups

Hi guys.

So, yesterday I decided to play one (the fateful) last game. As you might've experienced as well, the "last" game is always the most challenging and never disappoints to cause some frustration. I was matched up against Jinx and Morgana with me as (you guessed it) Kai sa and my support being Lulu. My toplaner and midlaner weren't exactly winning their lanes but what frustrated me the most, was the fact that Jinx kept pressuring the lane constantly and I fell behind in farm very fast. It didn't help that Lulu used her q to poke the enemies under our tower and effectively hitting the minions with it. To top it off, the one time our jungler came and we managed to pick up a kill the enemy team's jungler pulled off a beautiful countergank and turned the situation around, which sealed the game for them. So, in this situation - what could I have done better? I wasn't really sure how to trade against Jinx, since she kept zoning me with her rocket launcher every time I tried to step up to farm. Additionally, Morgana pressured really hard. I wasn't ever sure to have the advantage in a trade and didn't trust in Lulu to have enough early game potential to turn the fight around.

Just auto the minions more than her. If u think about the matchup although morg spell shield is strong, after 6 lulu R is sooo much stronger than jinx r and kaisa r can allow u dodge the bind. In order to win almost any matchup in lower elo, just smack every time they want a minion, eventually ull when u can and can’t but hitting their laner now means more cs gap later

To be honest,its not really in your control. You either get an engage supp(offset by morg), but the easiest counter to this is getting your jungler.Jinx lacks mobility and should not be able to survive. You can also play passive and oneshot her late,although its boring lol.

Support/jungle dependent like every laning phase.

Farm up, try not to afk shove with your q and hope your jungler ganks or you have an engage support to all in.

It's kinda sad tho that it is support dependent, because in my current elo they generally don't know match ups nor do they listen if you ask nicely for certain supports.
