Why are you not nerfing Jhin?

His movement speed is OP. Everyone agrees. But instead, you nerf Nami even though she's very balanced.

They're looking at nerfing the AS->AD ratio on his passive so that "The Fast" builds get less damage than AD builds in exchange for their mobility, plus "fixing" a bug with Hail of Blades that caused Jhin to get the attack speed from it too early.

I love “the fast” videos and hope that meme never dies, just that he can’t nuke someone and be the flash at the same time.

And that's what they're looking to do. By reducing the AD he gets from attack speed, he won't be able to deal as much damage.

So there will be two different Jhin builds:

Raw AD/crit for destroying people in one shot.
Attack speed for the safety of movement speed.

Personally, I hope they find a way to make AP Jhin a thing. If AD gets damage and AS gets mobility, how about AP gets area denial? Maybe have the slow/radius/cooldown/charges of his traps scale with AP. That way, a Jhin who builds AP items would be able to catch and root enemies more effectively.

Oh thanks for letting me know
