Her weakness is up-close burst fights.

With Fishbones, her range is like a caitlyn, but without caitlyn's *immediate safety* from her 9-caliber-net. Jinx has to be allowed time for her chompers to take effect. She has to be allowed time for her attack speed boost to take effect instead of it starting immediately like Tristana or Graves'. Her Zap ability does nothing for her dps at point blank, not to mention being dodgeable. Her ultimate does heavily reduced reduced damage when used in the heat of direct combat.

Strong counters to Jinx are:  Olaf. As long as she doesn't proc her passive, he can walk right up to her and she simply cannot get away.

Nocturne. His spellshield can eat her chompers, he can dodge her zap with his speed-boost, and then fear to negate her damage as he deletes her.

Actually, now that I think about it. Any assassin champion that can get over her chompers and one-shot her are very good. Other adc's can go invisible or use gap-closers to get to their supports or towers, or over walls or out of certain assassins' melee range. Many even have fast-acting crowd control to save themselves(like draven, cait, and vayne).

In lane, Jinx is weak against match-ups that make it hard for her to poke with Fishbones, while having massive all-in burst-damage that she can't easily run from. A notable example would be Sona with Corki/Varus. Why would Sona be better than braum or leona though? Sona can still follow-up when Jinx uses chompers as she isn't locked in animation right next to the Jinx. She also makes it much easier for her adc and/or jungler to reach their target(and dodge chompers) with her e. She can also harrass Jinx all of the laning phase, with decent ward coverage. She has her hard CC all-in at level 6 after giving Jinx a bad time in lane until then.
