Who Wins

Pre-6, you lose the 2v2 consistently: Jinx outranges you significantly, Lulu's poke and shields negate your short-range trades, and you cannot safely stack your passive without Rakan landing a clean engage that Lulu will often deny with W or E.
Post-6, if Rakan lands R, you can R immediately and delete Jinx before Lulu's healing and shielding matter — but this requires a clean engage, which is not guaranteed.

Your best trading pattern is to wait for Rakan to absorb Lulu's W on himself, then dash in with your E onto Jinx to stack your passive with Q and W — the goal is to reach S rank and R before Lulu can reapply her defensive tools.
Never initiate independently; your E dash into Lulu+Jinx without Rakan's CC means you take full poke and Lulu simply shields Jinx through your damage.

Push the wave hard when Lulu's W is on cooldown to force Jinx off the wave and deny her passive stacks — Jinx wants a slow, controlled lane where she can farm safely and scale, so denying her that rhythm matters.
Avoid letting the wave freeze near their tower, as Jinx is far more comfortable farming under tower than you are engaging into a protected position.

Do not use your E aggressively when Lulu still has W available — you will be polymorphed mid-dash, left in melee range with no CC on your side, and Jinx will shred you at point-blank range.
Your kit requires precise timing around enemy cooldowns, and impatience in this matchup will consistently result in you dying without dealing meaningful damage.
