let me say that as a low elo player who does not possess the mechanical skill to deal with jhin with teamwork or whatever people argue makes him a fair and balanced champion i find him way too oppressive, he's in every frigging game clearly because hes a little too strong. he has way too much utility bot lane with free ward traps, way too much dmg on his ult and he has a slow on it too boot. just remove the slow so i can dodge the shots reduce his AA range since its way too long. from my perspective looking at it he has no drawbacks (hes immobile you say) he just stands at blue buff and kills you at baron and is nowhere to be seen let alone killed. hes just not fun to play against and the game is getting stale seeing the same champs every game.

on a side note its not fun to only have to play the 10 fotm champs to get a win i prefer the older champs this power creep is making me lose interest in this game, instead of 6 new champs a year maybe you could go over the 50 or so unplayable out of meta picks so we can have a little variety

Jhin is strong because lethality is stronger than it should be and crit is weaker than it should be.

The slow on his ult just got nerfed, its pretty dodgeable if you're halfway out of his ult or farther, particularly if you have any kind of mobility.

I agree that he is seen way to much, but that is a product of adc itemization being way out of line right now rather than jhin himself.

As a side note, when jhin ults while you can't see him, you know exactly where he is. The ult indicator shows you. Where the lines converge on a point even in fog of war is where he is.

His risk lies in his immobility while in his ult. It has a cast time to be canceled, and reveals his location. This allows a diver or a flanker very easy access and forces him to choose between getting damage off or dying. In addition, if he is that far away he does spend a couple seceonds walking back to the fight, even longer if your team is kiting back. Your adc if protected should output a lot more damage than Jhin, even if he got his ult shots on the squishies (which he shouldn't, because your frontline should be blocking).
