Her early and midgame is pretty much deadweight.

Before ult and Q changes, she actually had kill pressure. Nowdays you have to get at least three items and the only way of getting those is by farming up. Since she can't push as fast as she did before and because she can't realiably kill someone in lane with ult, that makes her a fairly risky Marksman to play if your opponent knows how to play you, since Jinx lacks any outplay potential(all of her skills are telegraphed).

The only thing she has going for her are teamfight resets and lategame and even then, she is still fairly outclassed. She is just a very safe Marksman to play and requires very litle skill, coupled with a "decent" character design and yeah, you will see her quite a lot.
