I should have known Jhin mid was coming. (And it's awesome.)
I should have known that the first champion that could poke assassins safely (off-screen basically) would be played constantly.
GOD bless the designers of Jhin.
Fuck assassin pandering.

And then the mobility of assassins kicks in, and ooh look, it's worse than kogmaw
boring lane zzzz 
He fares very poorly against all the mobile mids. Ahri, zed, talon, fizz. The melee,s he can harrass early but give em 3 or four levels and they can jump him and blow him up hard
Assassin mids dominate the current meta. Which gives Jhin a lot of unfavorable hard matchups 
. He loses a lot of damage and cs by just sitting off screen poking (W offers plenty of room to dodge, Q depends on being within kill range and having minions setup to maximize it's damage). Getting a Auto + W off is too risky. All of those picks can burst kill him through it. He doesn't really have any escape until mid to late game when he has crit. Jhin is also really gated by mana early game when spamming abilities. Oh, and smart assassin players will wait for him to waste the fourth shot before going all in during the long reload timer. The only upside I see is his extra ranged harass. He's like varus mid without a stun.
