1. Ezreal's q can be blocked by minions too, but people still spam q. You can also shoot w in the bush to force out the enemy support into an comfortable position. Minions won't walk in the bush to body block most of the time.
2. Kog'maw's skill cap is based on the skill cap needed to play any other ADC. Urgot has seem some play but has fell out out of sight in favor of more standard ADCs, and varus was a top-picked ADC for a long while before tri-force buffs. Ashe also has become popular due to the C9 ashe/zyra lane. A gap closer is not needed to make a champion inherently strong.
3. 1 point in e is all you need; it's fairly obvious that you're going to max q first to make up for her poor AS scalings. Just like how you put a point or two into e before maxing kog's w, you can do the exact same thing with her q, w, and e (1 point in e/w/q => max q). If you are able to use a skillshot to force someone into an uncomfortable position when you can't hit it, then you don't need to hit it. When you're being chased by a champion with skillshots, running in a straight line is the 1st thing most people do because you'll cover more ground if you walk straight (obviously skillshots will be hit if you do this => probably death). But if a person is more experienced, they sidestep it, increasing the amount of time they spend running away while decreasing the distance between the 2 champions. Even though the gap is smaller, the risk of being hit with skillshots is much lower; however, they are expending slightly more time into doing this, thus making them more vulnerable to anyone else trying to catch them.
4. Again, if you use your w to check a bush, the enemy support will either take free damage or pressure will be revealed in the lane because the enemy has lost bush control. W can also ruin lane ganks. Based on how e is designed, you aren't supposed to spam it. The strength of e comes waiting for the right moment to use it. You can force the enemy into a bad engage, set up ganks for your jungler, prevent ganks from the enemy laners/junglers, and scare the enemy off of you when you're trying to push the lane and b. It's like anivia's wall before she starts to buy mana; you don't spam it in lane to trade, but you wait for the perfect opportunity to use it. Jinx is not meant to do a better job than ashe or any other ADC, she is meant to have a little bit of the best of everything. Ashe beats her out on utility, Graves beats her out on bursting people down, Kogmaw beats her out on range and late game DPS, Caitlyn beats her out on strength in lane.
Actually, I take that back about jinx being OP now that I've thought about it. She's only OP when the person playing her is very strong mechanically. High skill cap; high reward.
