Do you think that Jhin will see play in the LCS
With the Jhin on the horizion and LCS in a few days, will he see some play? Will he even be viable to keep up with the meta? Will someone take him mid or ADC? Discuss.

I haven't played him but to me, it seems his kit is designed for the LCS
If he is, it will probably be as an AD midlaner rather than as an ADC, the current meta has immobile mids in a decent spot and his zone control and range will be better there than in the botlane where he has to deal with two enemy threats.

His Q, Dancing Grenade, could be used for farm and harass in laning phase, his W, Deadly Flourish, can be used for poke and a root for a gank, his E, Captive Audience, would do well for catching out enemy junglers and doing surprise damage (Like a 
Shroom), and his Ultimate, Curtain Call, would be good for finishing off fleeing targets and gap-closing team fights. In short, he does high damage (From his 4th auto), has a form of hard CC, and has a long range ultimate. Granted, though, he does have weakness. He is designed, from what I can tell, as an ADC, so his health and armor stats, I expect, should be low, and he has no form of escape other than his W, a skill shot that relies on an E proc or an auto-hit. Since his kit is based around crit damage and dealing damage at range, I would definitely play him into Gnar, since most of his cc comes in at Mega-Gnar, aside from his boomerang, but definitely not Lulu, Vayne, or Renekton. Too much mobility to deal with as Jihn, unless you're a God-Tier Jihn Top player. Just my opinion though. :)
