Who Wins

Pre-6, Pantheon's E+Q poke is a serious problem because it forces you to spend W on Ashe repeatedly, draining your own HP and triggering Grievous Wounds if they itemize early.
You do not win the 2v2 pre-6 — your role is to survive and sustain, not to fight.
Post-6, your R fundamentally changes the dynamic because Jinx and Pantheon have no equivalent global safety net, giving your team a decisive advantage in extended fights.

Use your Q to poke Jinx when she steps up to last-hit, particularly when she switches to rocket form since she is stationary and easier to hit.
Save your W for after Pantheon's burst lands on Ashe rather than pre-emptively, so you are not wasting healing on chip damage and can respond to the real threat.

You should generally not roam — your value is entirely tied to keeping Ashe alive in a lane where Pantheon can burst her quickly.
The one exception is if the wave is frozen under your tower and Ashe is safe, in which case a quick E-silence roam to mid at level 6+ can be impactful, but only if your R is available as a safety net.

Do not use your W on yourself when Ashe is taking burst damage — prioritize healing her first even if it puts you at low HP, because a dead Ashe loses the lane immediately while you can Q-heal yourself afterward.
Also avoid standing in Pantheon's E range trying to Q-poke him, as he will simply stun you and negate your entire trade.
