Five Best Jinx Skins in League of Legends (2023)

Riot Games treats its League of Legends player base with a wide range of skins and cosmetics to choose from often. The company uses skins to tap into different themes, visual effects, and lore to help players visualize a champion’s universe within the game. Depending on the animation and effects of the skin, they are usually categorized into Epic, Legendary, or Prestige skins. However, it is evident that Riot Games rolls out more skins for champions like Lux, Katarina, Ezreal, Ahri, and a few others more often than it does for other champions in the game. However, Jinx enjoys a middle ground where she gets new skins in healthy, regular intervals. 

Currently, Jinx has eleven skins in League of Legends including a Prestige edition version. Here are the top five best Jinx skins that you can get your hands on in-game. Remember that this list is subjective and you might have different preferences. This list features four Epic skins and one Legendary one for Jinx.
