Currently Jhin has no keystone that fits him.

Craft Zeppelin··1 votes·774 views

With deathfire and warlords out of the picture, Jhin currently stands at a 47 percent winrate. The problem is that the keystones in precision requires you to hit the target constantly, domination is for burst champs. Sorcery on the other hand has its own problems. Aery is strong on almost any champ and will be nerfed, comet is very unreliable.

Just hoping that they will change or add keystones. I am feeling left behind.

Isn’t Jhin a burst champion?

Ok, try dueling a lucian if he is a burst champ and see if he goes even. Jhin is not even close being a burst champ. He simply has a gated window that does damage.

Just because someone else does it better doesn't mean Jhin isn't a burst champ.

That is like saying nunu is technically a burst champ. Which I totally deny. Jhin's burst is very moderate and with gated timings with low accessibility.

When I think of a burst champ I think of Leblanc or Annie, someone who blows all or most of their cooldowns in one go to absolutely destroy someone. To me not only is Jhin not a burst champ, but neither is Lucian.

Jhin and Lucian are definitely on the bursty end of the marksman spectrum, even though they go about dealing the damage in different ways.

actually comet is really good, since he has a root to stop enemies from dodging it, he can also go fleet footwork, not as good as warlords but it does the job

With a mere 200ms you can dodge comet. Also Jhin's W is not instant and has a windup. It will simply not work.

Don't go precision primary on him.

Aery or comet from sorc, Glacial from inspiration, Even dark harvest from Dom

Are good for him.

And unsealed spellbook is good for literally everyone, and you get more stats for going inspiration primary anyway.

Although, as you said, they are nerfing Aery already, and comet depends on your level of distaste with failure rates.

comet is excellent on him.

I... dont know... As much as I know Jhin has 3.

  • Fleet Footwork - allowing a dominant Lane falling of later.
  • Electrocute - dealing some RIDICULOUS Burst with its 0.5AD scaling.
  • Lethal Tempo - granting round about 100AD Lategame! And the Movement Speed Buff from Crits is bonkers with that much AS especially when also combined with Celerity!

Out of this three I prefer Leathal although it's maybe the weakest in early game.

Run Predator to become the fast.

You know, I simply couldn't resist that.

You know, I simply couldn't resist that.

In all seriousness, Summon Aery+Scorch is good, Electrocute is good, Fleet of Foot might be good in future, Comet is decent, Dark Harvest has high snowball potential and Kleptomancy can be used for the short time that it's busted.

With that said, Predator is still incredibly underrated right now, and depending on your playstyle it might do wonders for you since it gives a lot of incentive to roams and snowballing.
