He was never in a good place to ult. they almost always killed the front line before he would even try to get off the curtain call.

Wild turtle took professional level advantage of the fact that they couldnt trade fast autos. Well Done Sir.

Jhin is not garbage -- he's the opposite, really. Thing is, he requires a brain in order to use well, and even the "pros" are morons who can't play anything more thought-intensive than an ADC that does nothing but right-click or someone with targeted abilities. So, I'm not really surprised they can't play him.

WT wouldn't been able to be as crazy as he was, if they first picked kalista+alistar. Like they first picked nidalee... I have to agree.

Also shows how BS steraks is. Also pls nerf lux.

Sterak's needs to be melee only, period.

Feeding Kalista first blood also contributed into turning Turtle into an unstoppable monster.

"Sterak's needs to be melee only, period." Also this. It was retarded seeing Kalista jump into 4 people because she knew very well she could NOT be bursted down because of this stupid item combined with the lifesteal.

Seems Riot is going lazy way on PBE and nerfing it for everyone instead of making it melee only.

she also got loads of shields from FotM and Lux. If it weren't for those sheilds, Turtle would have died. He dropped down to 80 health before the shields popped up. Had they not picked champs or items with shields for Turtle, he would've died.

Didn't they actually get few kills only cuz of Jhins range?

the reload needs to be removed

That was just a wrong team composition.

Jhin needs 2 things:

  1. A tank that can protect him in case he gets jumped on
  2. A violent team that can make use of his peels to bring enemies low and either kill them or allowing Jhin to execute them.

A 2 tanks comp isn't that profitable.

Its also worth noting Jihn is absolute shit at taking turrets.,which is why C9 only had 1. I mean they were neck and neck in kills with IMT but down 4-5k because he couldn't secure objectives.

I've said it since I've seen Jihn's release, An auto attack based champion who has to constantly stop auto attacking to reload just isn't going to measure up to other adc's. Jihn was just incapable of putting out the dps Kalista was.

Stars Shaper1 votes

Kalista being a mobile/sustain/dps with a burst spike counters Jhin 24/7 I tested it on my own skin and Braum can make Jhin's burst disappear.

I agree on your view of the matter and that adds to my comment about Jhin's team being bad composed. In general it seems that western teams do not go for a team-wide strategy and just try to pick what they feel is good by itself and then try to coordinate. This is the main reason we (as eu and na) get demolished in worlds by eastern teams and one of the reason why LCS matches are a lot boring if not for some exceptions (the IMT vs C9 was kinda fun to watch).

I really dont know why they didnt first pick kalista/ali. I know hes been practicing Jhin, but if they give you that combo, you might as well take it. I didnt think Sneaky played badly, but that game was basically hard carried by kalista. And Sneaky got kills, but honestly jhin really didnt do anything of note besides snipe a kill or 2 which he could have did on damn Caitlyn.

Really think that pick was their downfall, even though Sneaky got some kills. But, I doubt they even care. All that matters is play-offs.

Can you tell me what other adc in pro play would be able to 2v2 after the enemy adc got fb and exp advantage? Pretty much all bot lanes would've lose by this point. Yet, he was getting kills and winning the lane. Even though in the interview after game turtle said "Jhin is weak in lane". If someone that's "weak in lane" is able to dominate a Kalista with FB advantage.......... I don't even wana think on what will happen after he gets a buff or two

Well, I think Turtle is overrated as a laner. Its always been a knock on him. His laning ability. And, Sneaky has always been a good laner, and Hai is WAY better laning support than people give him credit for.

The point is, Jhin probably did cost them that game. Just about any other ADC would have contributed more to those teamfights. Its like Ashe for CLG.

I dont think the FB would have hurt. Turtle really didn't gain much of an advantage over it. He backed and bought a speed dagger. He didn't get a CS advantage off it. And, he didn't really gain a noticeable damage advantage off it, going attack speed. And again, one of hte knocks on turtle, has been his laning ability in the past. Sneaky has always been strong. Very strong. Its hard to remember a time he just lost his ass in lane.

I just think any other ADC, even kalista, would have been better.(they could have took kalista first rotation, remember.) Jhin just didnt do much but snipe a couple kills. He really didn't contribute anything that a Caitlyn or MF couldn't. MF could have did Jhin's job better. Lucian could have carried harder. Etc. You can't tell me those times Sneaky sniped a kill with Jhin's ult, That an MF ult wouldn't have just murdered even harder in that situation.

For the most part their comp was good except for the Jhin. He wasn't terrible, he just didn't offer anything someone else could have offered better. Its like why did CLG pick Ashe when they could have picked a better adc. It didn't seem like he did anything in any of those fights.

in particular, yes. Some of the kills Jhin got could've have been done by other adcs. The one that comes to mind is killing Braum as he got out of Kalista ulti ;)

What Jhin offered to the team? surprise, IM shown that they can deal with most things right now in the patch. So, they try to bring in the "surprise" factor, and make that their game winning play.

If you know that the enemy team is better at playing standard. Then you obviously won't play standard against them and try something "new". That's the decision to begin with. Ie: if you fight a swordsmaster in a 1v1 in a sword fight. You will lose, since they are better. But if you try something new, like using a gun or a spear or something that's not a sword. Now you got the "unknown" factor that you might win.

That game they didn't need the unknown factor. They were still even in bot lane, Balls was beating Huni in top lane, and Jensen was beating Pobelter mid. The only person really winning, was Reignover. The game literally boiled down to teamfights, where any other ADC would have output more damage and pressure than jhin. Not to mention, as another poster said, their low turret kills, because jhin sucks at that. They lost during teamfights that they possibly would have won with a better ADC.

They didn't lose in the laning phase. They were down in gold becuase of 1 turret, and then they lost teamfights because Jhin didn't offer a single thing except sniping 1-2 kills with his ult. He was just a poor pick, and pretty much the entire reason they lost the game, tbh. He just didn't do anything.

Even bot lane, you could say Sneaky and Hai were winning that, even down a kill. The only place on the entire map they were losing, was jungle. And then it just fell apart during teamfights because they didnt have an ADC like kalista. A constant damage, good adc. They had a pot shotter better done by any other ADC, and could have actually took turrets, too.

he was just a poor pick. Just like Ashe. But I think he was more of a detriment to their game than Ashe was to CLG.

Pretty sure most of those teamfights would have went way better with any other ADC. And, the fact turtle based for a speed dagger and didn't gain any real advantage whatsoever on bot lane means that any other adc would have held up just fine giving up the first blood.

you are saying this because you know the result. C9 didn't know what "will happen". They knew the next things: Adrian spammed Janna and Soraka. Huni never lost lane. Reignover camps for Huni. The team is undefeated. Balls is arguably their weakest player in the squad (I mean that compared to the other 4 players in his team). They already lost to them before.

So, they decided they need something "unknown" do try to win against IMT. They didn't expect Balls to 1v1 Huni in the top lane, despite getting a good match-up. They didn't expect Reignover to camp bot and counter jungle as much. PS: mid lane was equal

If you judge the decisions they made at the start of the game, with the information you (and them) only got at the end of the game. Its unfair. Normal people can't see the future.

PS: Ashe was engage for CLG. Without her they lacked "engage" and "lockdown". So, Ryze would not be able to do much in team fights or vs a Fiora in a split push. So, they had to pick engage: Jungle, ADC, Sup, Mid. They went with ADC.

He did fine, Kalista and Lux are just cancer right now. The kills he did get he wouldn't have gotten on any other ADC. If C9 should be faulted for anything it was not pushing towers hard enough. Rush got outplayed early game too which really hurt.

Kalista is very strong, but Wildturtle on Kalista is godly. He's probably the most impressive Kalista I've seen in a long time.

B00B001 votes

I've seen Sven(Niels) perform much better on Khalista however wild turtle is as a whole a fantastic player when he's allowed to be aggressive, TSM are probably crying they didn't use his skills while he was in their team and rightfully so they contested so much on bjerg it was the be all and end all, wrong choice boys you had another carry right next to him with 0 resources

TurquoiseYoshi1 votes

I dunno, I've seen some impressive mechanics by Wildturtle that I haven't seen in a very long time from anyone else. But yeah, TSM must feel terrible giving up Wildturtle even though he was okay in Summer and amazing in Spring.

the real reason they lost is because they had lee sin as their jungle, the champ is just so weak that they couldn't output the burst needed in those insanely awesome fights. I MEAN CMON GUYS THAT WAS THE BEST LCS GAME ALL YEAR. but seriously though if they had the likes of something with more damage and cc like say zac or graves i firmly believe they wouldve won that game. also sneaky getting caught out at level 1 didnt help either. There was also that kalista had steraks sheild and maw sheild, and nidalee heals as well as life steal so like she was phreakin tanky and dealing insane damage. Steraks is literally that item that all ad champs build because of how broken it is. but i just feel like lee sin is just a bad pick because hes just weak in comparison to other jungles. Nid was stronger graves is stronger, poppy is stronger, hell skarner jungle is better in almost every reguard besides ganks pre 6 so thats just my take on it.

I don't think it had to do with Jhin necessarily. They fed Wirldturtle, and he went nuts in that game. Really the only reason they won. Everyone one else was pretty much loosing, except Reignover but he was falling off.

Truly Prideful1 votes

I think the Jhin was a bad pick, but they still could have won that game had they not made some really bad choices. I look forward to seeing IMT / C9 in a bo3.

I really think people give WT too much credit when Adrian is at least 50% of the reason why he's doing so well. As Braum he was a literal human shield that game and helped WT win what was a losing laning phase despite WT getting first blood. Even with Braum's shield Jihn was out trading WT early on. C9 didn't have a protect-the-carry support for Sneaky to hide behind.

Jhin just doesn't get enough out of his autos to make up for the 2.5 seconds he needs to reload. Yes, he gets AD multipliers with crit and attackspeed, but he needs a lot of items to get that damage and by the time he does, all other ADC's out DPS him. He doesn't do enough damage with his 4 autos to make up for the amount of consistent damage other ADC's have.

Problems Jhin has.

  1. Terrible at taking turrets. This is very bad in competitive because it's one of the main reasons you even have an ADC to begin with.

  2. ADC's do good damage late because of multipliers with attack speed, crit, and AD. Without ridiculous numbers, Jhin can't compete with the DPS of other ADC's, this is more a numbers problem though that can be tweaked easy.

  3. Poor in a teamfight environment. If Jhin can hit one person with all four of his autos then he can potentially kill them or at least bring them really low, but in a teamfight an ADC needs to keep switching targets as people rotate in and out of the front line. He gets two autos on one person then needs to attack someone else and gets two autos on them and then can't do anything for 2.5 seconds while they're still relatively healthy.

  4. He's god awful at dealing with tanks. ADC's are the best champs when it come to dealing with tanks (Outside of certain champs that ignore defenses...) and it's one of the reasons you have one in your team but since Jhin has bad dps and is all about the burst, he can't whittle down a tank like others can and he can't itemize Bork for high health targets.

  5. He's immobile. Considering how long the downtime is between his autos, Jhin is an ADC I'd actually expect to have an escape ability for him to use to duck out of a fight while he reloads. Without itemizing Triforce he's terrible at kiting because his attack speed is always the same. Think about Ashe and how she can kite people early game and late game, early game her slow is pretty weak but no one is all that fast early game so it's fine, then as people build more movement speed, her slow scales in strength and her attack speed gets higher so she doesn't need to spend as much time going through her animation before she can move again. Jhin is poor at kiting, he has no escapes, and he's slow, with the game being so filled with burst right now, he's dog meat any time someone jumps on him if he doesn't have a dedicated peel support.

I'll say that, I like Jhin, but I also feel that he needs tweaking before he'll be a decent ADC, his weaknesses are currently too big to make up for his strengths when it comes to picking him over another ADC.
