Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Jinx win the lane through superior poke range — your Q and E combined with Jinx's rocket range creates a poke pattern that Leona cannot safely walk through, and Zeri cannot match your sustained harass.
Post-6, your R gives you kill threat at long range, but Leona's R engage is the primary threat; you must use your E preemptively on Jinx when Leona looks to engage.

Your best pattern is to land Q on Leona when she steps forward to E, as this interrupts her engage and lets Jinx freely poke — if Leona is rooted, Jinx can switch to rockets and deal significant damage before the root expires.
Use your E on Jinx reactively when Leona's E is in the air, not before, to ensure the shield is active during the lockdown.

You should roam when the wave is pushed to their tower and Jinx can safely freeze or slow-push — your R range means you can influence mid lane without fully leaving bot, and a roam at level 6 with R available is high value.
Do not roam when Leona is alive and healthy near your Jinx, as Leona will immediately engage a 1v2 the moment you leave.

Do not waste your Q on Zeri when Leona is the real engage threat — missing Q at the moment Leona dashes means Jinx has no peel and will die to the lockdown.
Avoid standing directly behind Jinx in a straight line, as Leona's E will chain to you and Zeri can follow up on both of you simultaneously.
