Who Wins

Pre-6, you win the 2v2: your hook at level 1 is immediately threatening because Jinx has no dash and Veigar is immobile, and your level 2 all-in with Q into E root into W slow is a near-guaranteed kill on Jinx if she's caught in the open.
Post-6, your R into Tristana E combo one-shots Jinx before Veigar can respond, and Veigar's E cage is your only real concern — dodge it and the fight is yours.

Your best pattern is to hook Jinx when she steps up to CS in cannon form, since she's immobile and overextended, then chain your E root and W to keep her locked while Tristana detonates her E.
If Jinx plays safe, hook Veigar instead since he has even less mobility and a dead Veigar removes the only real kill threat on Tristana.

You should roam after level 6 when the wave is pushed into the enemy tower — your R is a global setup tool and mid laners are often vulnerable to a hook-R combo.
The best roam timing is when Jinx is forced to recall after a losing trade, leaving Veigar alone briefly, so you can roam mid and return before the wave resets.

Do not walk into Veigar's E cage to chase Jinx — the cage will stun you, Veigar will Q and W you, and Jinx will turn the fight with minigun autos while you're locked down.
Always bait the cage out before engaging or approach from an angle where Veigar cannot place it between you and your target.
