I'm going to be honest with you. Jhin's kit is not what I wanted.
I honestly do not hate Jhin, I just didn't really agree with the design Jhin has. He seems simplistic, boring, there's almost nothing that makes me want to scream in excitement waiting to play with this champion. The teasers were great, and the final video teaser made me extremely hyped up for an insane marksman that will shoot down enemies.
This is not what the teasers should've led up to.
His kit feels bland, the design team put nothing that the teaser had put in besides the tree on killing blow.
If you look in the middle-rightish part of the picture, you will see Jhin doing his ultimate. However, do you notice something? All 4 shots are shot at once, at different speeds, but still in the area.
If you're playing Jhin, this is NOT how it works. There is a very brief window of time between each shot, this is really just a more versatile Caitlyn Ultimate.
Jhin's real ultimate should've been a single shot - one shot means death ultimate, that requires perfect aim, a small projectile, that can cause mass damage, like this - http://imgur.com/2qZh5Oj
Yet this doesn't happen. Jhin is instead forced to be a truck hitting, slow attacking Marksman...
When you see Vi's picture, I thought straight away - wow this guy must be crazy, being able to take off Vi's gloves like that, her pure character is ripped apart! Yet - this is what we get. Puny bullets that have little to no effect, and feel like throwing very deadly pebbles.
I can't imagine such a small projectile shooting right through Vi's body, and knocking her gloves off. Jhin should shoot one bullet for his ultimate, that is short ranged, and deal insane amounts of damage if landed correctly. Instead, he's forced to some area where he shoots 3 weak bullets, and 1 strong one that crits. It's bland, boring, and doesn't add much to Jhin's kit. _ You could argue this, "But there were 4 pictures! 4 shots!"_
Do you honestly think these tiny shards http://imgur.com/Wk6x1Yf can do THIS http://i.imgur.com/JWlIZzd.jpg ? I know I am being a little too realistic here - but it's the truth. Little shards like that are boring, unfun, and do NOT add anything to his kit. Jhin should've been an insane murderer that finds killing - beauty, instead of being a boring Marksman that shoots.
Now, my next complaint is his traps. Why the hell are they weird triangular lillypad leaf things, instead of being something that is deadly, devestating, and art. Jhin is NOT disguising his traps, he's insane, he wants to kill for art. His traps should've been more then leaves, it needs depth.
His entire kit should've been based around destroying enemies with one shot - to destroy his targets. Not attack, one... two... three... four... OH YOU CRIT! It's lazy design.
What's interesting is, there's nothing new in Jhin's kit at ALL besides the Dancing Grenade.
His W is literally a longer, deadly, but slower Lucian ability. His E is a Caitlyn trap... His R is a single target Miss Fortune ultimate.
You'd expect something like... **Beholder's Beauty ** Jhin sees beauty in death. Jhin gains increased movement speed and readies his bullet. The bullet's recoil is extremely strong, knocking back Jhin a short distance, and having an explosive area in front, dealing AOE damage. The bullet will get thinner and thinner, but more deadlier. If Jhin kills an enemy with his bullet, a tree will sprout for 5 seconds. If Jhin collects the tree, the cooldown of this ability is reduced, and he can continue to make art. If the tree is NOT collected, the tree will explode dealing AoE damage.
Do you see this Riot? It incorporates almost EVERYTHING the teaser promised, but more. It has the entire tree plot to effectively be helpful. It isn't single target because of it's explosion radius, which can be used for close range and long range.
Thanks for hearing me out.
