The Problem With Jhin is...

The fact that there is no stage in the game where he's "weak." Great lane harrassment, you practically make enemy laners flee from you when you walk towards them with your fourth bullet, and his Q's damage can chunk for 1/4 of someone's health if you land the bounces correctly.

Mid game, he is great at skirmishing, set up traps, bait enemies into them and snare them, get picks and the likes with your W and ult. If you do get behind ((Which is a possibility if you're against a champ that bullies harder than you)) Jhin still has the traps, the W snare and the ult to be semi useful to a team while being behind. Overall I feel that Jhin's mid game is where it should be right now.

Late game... oh boy don't even get me started on that. Insta-gibbing a squishy with an AA-Q-4th AA combo is definitely NOT ok. However, I've recently noticed that people don't tend to try to focus you. Which is odd because Jhin has 0 mobility besides flash and the speed boost from crits. However, he has the permanent speed boost due to the fact that he'll usually be at 80-100% crit chance by this point.

Coupled with his power during every phase of the game along with the fact that, similar to champs like he snowballs INCREDIBLY hard even after just one kill in lane. And it's hard to stop snowball-y champs and in a meta where snowballs are the key to victory, Jhin excels.

This is NOT a QQ thread about "wah wah jin op pls nurf i desreve chalenjour" because I have been playing him a ton since his release. I love his character, I love his lore, personality, and the fact that unlike recently released champs he doesn't require a degree in quantum physics to understand as he's mostly a point-and-click champ. This thread is to just bring up what I've found to be wrong with him while playing him. My suggestion? Tune down his early game, maybe tune down his crit damage for the insane late game. Considering that you can very easily reach 400 AD by mid game, you will be critting (With I.E) for 800 damage, which is insane.

TL;DR Jhin has too much early, mid, and late power. Even if he gets behind, he still has semi-useful utility the team can work with. Tune down his early power, tune down his base crit damage to something like 135% or 150%. I love Jhin as a champion and I think he's one of the more balanced releases when compared to champions like . He just needs some tune ups :D
