@Riot you might want to fix Guinsoo's interaction with Jhin

As of now, people can get 24% bonus AD from Guinsoo from stacking it six times. In turn, the base stats of Guinsoo were reduced in order to prevent it from being such a powerful first item. However, this change unfortunately broke Jhin as the bonus AD from Guinsoos boosts all of attack damage after going through attack speed scaling and critical chance scaling from his passive. Basically, at six stacks, it let Jhin gain an unimaginable amount of AD and made it much easier for him to hit over a thousand attack damage.

Also, Guinsoo grants quite a bit of attack speed and damage on hit as well, which makes his attacks even more powerful combined with the bonus attack damage. For example, Guinsoo gives an extra 5 + (0.1 bonus attack damage) physical damage on hit. This is on average, 7.5 + (0.15 bonus attack damage) physical damage on hit with Guinsoo's rage. Since Jhin can now easily get over 1000 attack damage, he can get 157.5 bonus physical damage on hit.

I appreciate Riot attempting to change Guinsoo so it can be used on more champions, and I thought this was a nice effort. However, I do think a hotfix will be required sometime in the near future so I don't have to start banning Jhin.

People might disagree with me on this, but I kinda feel like the Guinsoo's Rage is just icing on the cake rather than the destination. All these stats + on-hit dmg, then every other AA triggers onhit twice??

Rageblade Jhin isn't a thing and it's a meme.
