Can we adress the fact that jhin is in almost everygame and that his 4 shot mechanics is broken?

It's not really broken.

He is balanced around that and has more burst than dps.

Another ADC similarly fed would kill him first.

Jhin can attack less than once per second at level 18. Sure, a non-fourth bullet might still deal like 1400-1800+ damage depending on how fed he is and how squishy his opponent is. On the other hand, just about any other ADC would crit him 2.5 times in one second for 1400-1800+ each. But hey, let's rag on Jhin. LUL

Cait has that sexy accent though.

Not to mention they'll lifesteal back what damage he dealt so the fourth shot might not even be enough to kill them.

Then he spends about a second reloading...

Astôlfo1 votes

His reload time is static actually. So it's still 2.5 seconds reload in lategame where he's level 18. LUL

Oh wow that is evem worse in a drawn out fight.

Astôlfo1 votes

What drawn out fight? He'd be dead before he'd even get through all 4 of his first round.

TyrekGoldenspear1 votes

Exactly, so why rag on Jhin when he loses 1v1 to most of his lane opponents unless he's smart and kites like a good ADC should anyway?

He rewards skill.

1800 each? Ha. Even with 0 armor and IE, that would require 720 AD. That's not mathematically possible for any other champion to get. And 560 AD for the lower bound is still out of reach for any champion that has enough bonus attack speed to hit 2.5 APS.

OP is hyperbolic and clickbaity; doesn't mean you should drop to his/her level :(

Except the other ADC in your example would die without ever seeing Jhin on their screen.

It's not that Jhin's damage is unfair, it's that he can take squishies from 100-0 or clean up a team fight with exactly zero risk.

And good god, since when do snipers run around like Usain Bolt? The range, cc, and damage would all be tolerable if you were rewarded for actually stick to him once you survived his obstacle course. By late game he's practically perma-ghosted.

In short, it's super frustrating to die to a champ you never see. And it's super frustrating to be kited into oblivion once he is on your screen.

item 3143 build armor. Build item 3026 . he can only lock down with w. Hes more close range except for ult and w. .-. so i meaaaaaaaan I hate cait even more than jhin. xD

If he 100'd someone off-screen, they are garbage and they deserve to die. Uh yeah, but the only way he gets said MS boost is either with a crit or a root meaning he has to auto you or hit you with the extremely narrow and delayed W. Just flank, jump on him and CC him.

or just play an assassin xD plus his ult gets interrupted by Nami ult and Ashe ult. .-. soooo

He can't kite to oblivion though.

I have played jhin and despite my efforts could not keep a diver off me. They killed me a lot.

Jhin has MS buffs, that's it. No dashes or blinks like other chanps.

Concernimg his ult. A tank can bodyblock for you if yoi are in position. And if Jhin wants to snipe everyone at the atart of the fight then you know you out number his tean. Take em out.

I get your frustrations though, but to certain champions he is just a bag of gold running around in a mask. Not to mention he is a crappy duelist up close. Once he reloads he's pretty much toast.

How is it broken?

Astôlfo1 votes

I dunno, can we address the fact he's in less than a third of games in any rank that matters, and that he's not broken like you're implying?

This. Only good players can play him imo. Need to know timing and kiting. He doesnt have major dps. :P after 4 shots he avaible to be killed easily.

23% pick rate. That means he is picked 23% of the time over every other adc in the game. third most picked adc. And the two others are twitch and mf one of wich is because she has a 55% winrate (again)

Astôlfo1 votes

Um, no. First of all, it's 31.81% PR. Second of all, it's out of all the champions in the game. It's not within just ADCs.

dominusx1 votes

at least he takes some skill unlike the rest of the drain tank adc's His w is a thin skillshot. his ult is also a skillshot. If you nerf an adc nerf these instead Lucian Caitlyn MissFortune

OurLestrade1 votes

Jhin's a crappy duelist against other ADCs if you ask me, and really gets messed up by divers. I for one only play him because that 4 shot mechanic makes it so much easier for someone like me who really sucks at focusing high attack speed DPS to get his damage off :P

You see see a Jhin hit himself with his own forth shot from a rushed thornmail.... You will thank me later.
