What runes do I take on Jhin?
My friend told me to just get all armor penetration, MR glyphs, and armor yellows. Is there like any better runes? I used pro builds and they all have a wide variety

I main Jhin and here's what I use on him: Flat armor yellows, flat MR blues, flat armor pen reds, and flat AD quints. Its a very generic page that is good on a ton of champs but I find it best on Jhin.

It's possible, but that settup sounds pretty solid.
You'd probably need to find a LoL site that does rune calculations for you to find anything better, and it would likely only offer a pretty minuscule boost in overall power over that settup.
Armor Pen sacrifices a bit of power in the lanning phase and does make last-hitting much harder what with minions lacking any meaningful armor so you might want to run AD.
Jhin's attacks and abilities all heavily benefit from large quantities of armor penetration vs. other champions though. If you could manage to reach 100% armor penetration, you could possibly even KO a tank from 100% HP with 1 QWERRRR rotation from Jhin. His bases are insanely high, putting him in the top ~5 highest QWER rotations in the game. Armor Pen is also fairly difficult to itemize for specifically, as it's only available in pretty low amounts on most items and on several items Jhin really can't make great use of.
Otherwise armor Seals and MR Glyphs are at least the second best choice for Seals and Glyphs on every champion in the game. You might occasionally want to add something like HP/5 or MP/5
I use flat attack speed reds, scaling health yellows, scaling MR blues, and attack speed quints. That way you don't have to worry about building AS in-game and can focus on full AD. Also, use scaling MR and HP b/c Jhin is a late-game champion.
