Jhin is useless in teamfights

Hallbuster··2 votes·2,370 views

We have an immobile champion that lacks reliable CC, with gaps in-between attacks that makes it extremely difficult to finish an enemy unless you're on your last bullet. Put these things together and Jhin will likely be the first to die in team fights before making a shot.

In team fights, the only thing he can really make use of his ult which can be blocked by an opposing player and rarely kills anyone late game.

Jhin is basically useless after laning phase is over.

He can output a ton of damage, yes. He requires a front line, yes. He is a utility ADC, yes. Useless in team fights, no.

I honestly can't tell if this is satire or not, because what you list that he can't do is exactly what he does best.

We have an immobile champion that lacks reliable CC, that also has gaps in-between attacks which makes it extremely difficult to finish an enemy.

He has 2 forms of CC on 3 different abilities. A root, a slow that can be used for zoning on Captive Audience, and 4 slows on his ultimate. He also has execution damage on his forth shot, and has way more AD to compensate for his locked attack speed. You can also use his Bouncing Grenade inbetween autos if you need the damage right now.

In team fights, the only thing he can really make use of his ult which can be blocked by an opposing player and rarely kills anyone late game.

He can't make use of massive damage autoattacks with execution damage, an AOE ability that scales off AD, and zoning flowers that do a LOT of damage if they stay on them? The ultimate definitely is underwhelming to tanky targets, so you have to time it well to hit the squishies. Even if you hit the tanks, you get the utility from it still, so it is useful.

it just depends on who is playing him

if all you're going to do is Ult from the back and then get deleted by a flanking enemy... then yeah...

Also, tons of Jhins just bait bad fights by suddenly Ulting and then the team realises... "Oh we are outnumbered/outgunned"

If only a giant zoning ultimate that can 100-0 any squishy target, and slows for like 60% per shot while doing huge damage was anywhere near strong in fights. And he's one of the fastest adcs in the game with his crit passive.

Have you ever actually played the champ before? Gotta love these bronzies...
