Jhin Is Too Weak

I've played a lot of Jhin recently, 17 games so far and I noticed a reoccurring trend: he just really does not perform up to expectations and has no self sustainability when someone isn't helping him. Don't get me wrong, he is a very fun champion to play and certainly unique but I feel like falls very short in order to be called a Marksman and definitely falls short anywhere else.

Passive- This is ok except the reload time REALLY makes him a bad ADC so it should definitely be flat 1 seconds or scale down in some way to 1 second because 2 seconds is just too long.

Q- Perfect

W- This is good but the snare aspect is too unreliable for solo lane and too fidgety as an ADC for any 1v1 potential or when the support is gone.

E- These are perfect.

R- I feel like skill wise this ability is a good test but the bullet feels very inaccurate because the enemies not only get smaller but so do their visual hit zones. It should be a bit more forgiving in all honesty, bigger width of the bullet.

Overall his damage is too situational and inconsistent for him to fit the ADC role and definitely is a better mid than an ADC at the moment. Hopefully see some small buffs in the coming patch or I feel like he's going to be just another immobile mid that get's wrecked when you add the new assassin item and everything.

This post needs some more bronze in it. Here's the only three matches I managed to get jhin (Without it being banned or first picked)

http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2087778222/221403870?tab=overview http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2089722227/221403870?tab=overview http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2089806369/221403870?tab=overview

Just ignore the fact that the Varus is Currently silver 3 in that last match, and both sides were mostly s5 silver or gold. It's all bronze now anyway.

I'd say he's pretty balanced. Although I don't think he fits in the current meta. It's like playing a xerath that has to go in to auto attack. If they do any minor buffs and the meta changes to less gap closers, assassins, and engage it'll be obscenely strong. That's highly unlikely though.

He's really hard to cs on until you get to mid game or so and the ad ramps up.

You are dumb... Jhin is in a really good spot right now. He has really clear strengths.... maybe you just dont know how to play him...
