We need more champions like Jhin
Jhin is unique. He feels different to play as, with, and against. His damage is earned not given (no true damage here) and is not without sacrifice (mobility and attack speed). He is the (imo) best form of a new champion. One that isn't a copy and past various abilities fro similar champions.
Let me explain:
- His kit is fairly straightforward in complexity. Only his w is synergized (and reliant) with other abilities. As an ADC should be. Counter example would be MF whose passive is her big damage dealer besides her ult and it is affected by her q. Her w is complex with her movement speed passive and her attack speed. Not to mention her double ad/ap scalings on every ability other than w. Jhin is all AD based besides AP on his e. Yes he scales Crit and Attack Speed but what AD based marksmen doesn't get those item anyways.
- Very unique ULT. First ult ever to change the camera view.
- His 4 shots are similar to Graves' 2 shots, but are different in that they dont start to reload until depleted or a long wait period has passed.
- Invisible traps that by themselves will rarely damage the target. Now Jhin has some team reliance. Yes his w works well with the traps, but only for 1 target. His teammates can help lock the enemies on his traps for their damage to be useful.
- Lastly, he does not have to be in the fight to be in the fight. He has massive ranged abilities that can be used from "safety". Since he is slow and has no form of escape, he can utilize his kit to be the long ranged artillery for the front lines to fight through. Similar to Xerath and Kog'maw, his ult is meant to be used from a distance.
The past few updates, reworks, and champion releases have all been focused around the tanky champions who can hurt on par with an ADC and Caster class champions. True Damage / %health Meta, Tank Meta, Juggernaut Meta, and now the Caster Class Meta°. Jhin, although gets a lot of damage from his abilities, gets most of his damage from his auto attacks. He is one of the first steps back into a more style diverse gameplay.
°Caster Class Meta: most ADC's chosen in the current Meta are Caster Class. Ex: Lucian, MF, Corki, Ezreal, and Graves. Rarely do we see otherwise with the exception being Vayne. *Jhin not included.
