The Jinx versus Smolder matchup as ADC is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Jinx deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Smolder deals mainly physical damage (73.39%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Smolder, ranking 2nd (versus 5th for Jinx) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.4 versus 2.3) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Jinx player to maintain constant pressure on Smolder, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
