Who Wins

Pre-6, you lose extended poke trades against Jinx because her range advantage with rockets and Lux's E-Q poke outrange your Q significantly — avoid prolonged skirmishes and play for short burst trades when Leona lands E.
Post-6, you win the 2v2 if Leona lands R first, as your damage output on a stunned Jinx is lethal and Lux cannot burst you down before Jinx dies.

Your best pattern is to wait for Leona's E to connect, then immediately use your W to close distance and unload Q autos onto Jinx — your damage is front-loaded in short windows, so do not try to sustain a long fight where Jinx's attack speed scaling and Lux's poke will outvalue you.
After the initial burst, use E to reposition behind terrain to avoid Lux's follow-up Q.

You want a pushed wave so you can walk up without being poked under your own tower — use your Q to clear efficiently and keep pressure on the enemy tower, which forces Jinx to play under tower and reduces her ability to set up slow-push.
Avoid letting the wave bounce back to you in a freeze, as you have no reliable way to break it without taking heavy poke from Lux.

Do not use E aggressively as an engage tool into this lane — Lux's Q is wide enough to catch you mid-E if she anticipates it, and a rooted Zeri with no escape is a free kill for Jinx's burst.
Never walk up to CS without tracking Lux's Q cooldown, as she will zone you off the wave whenever it is available.
