Jhin is proof that a champion can be unique and fun without being oppressive or broken

We need more reworks and future champions to be like Jhin. I mean just look at him:

Bends the existing game mechanics and introduces something new and exciting...
Fun for both the player and his opponent (you know, not just another Yasuo/Zoe/Akali)
Very easy to understand what he does so he's not oppressive (looking at you Aphelios), and very clear weaknesses
Still relatively hard to master
Easy to balance
Doesn't have a single dodge everything and teleport 4 times and go invisible and become immortal while shielding everyone globally ability

It's just the perfect champion.

Ppl need to stop using this... No it isn't fun to lose, be it vs Jhin, Yasuo, Galio, any champ. Just stop. Especially with champ like Jhin, who when he is in meta is cancer, outrunning while oneshotting everybody... Winning is fun, losing is not.

This is exactly why so many new champions are ruining the game, they introduce some mechanic that bends the rules and breaks the game lol.

You mean like bending the rule that a champion is only one class for the whole game? Late game Jhin is assassin Jhin.

oh yes jhin is very great design when he's one shotting people because he crit them from across the map and he gets to skip away because it was 4th shot.

Jhin is probably the most elegantly designed champion in the game. You can't really use him as a benchmark.

I love how this has downvotes lol but I agree with your post title. The trouble is I don't know whether Jhin's design can be replicated to make a new champion like him (or multiple champs like him), and if it could idk if I would want it to. He's unique
