Thoughts on Jihn

I recently purchased Jihn, the newest Champion to the Rift, and I have to say, I'm impressed. The four shot-then reload style is a bit awkward at first, but you get used to it, and learn to make every shot count. His fourth shot is a guaranteed Critical Hit, so be sure to use that to your advantage His Q is very good at taking out several low minions at once, and I find that if an enemy champion is running away through a crowd of his minions, you can shoot it, and it can actually bounce to him for the kill. His W is very good at stopping enemies from running away/chasing down one of your teammates. It's root effect works very well to keep an enemy at bay while your team is fighting dragon/baron, so that they are delayed from trying to steal it. His E works a bit like Teemo's Mushrooms, slowing the enemy that steps on it as well as dealing damage to anyone that o is still inside the circle within 4 seconds of its activation. Good idea to place these along common gank routes in order to have time to react to an incoming gank. And dont even get me started on his Ultimate. Absolutely Brutal. 4 shots worth of slowing devastation with a guaranteed critical on the last shot, it is amazing at slowing down enemies and getting those long range kills.

I have played Jihn so far in the ADC, Support, and Top Lane roles, and have had success in all of these. It appears that Jihn may be effective in the Jungle as well because of his W and R, but I dont see him being effective in Mid lane.

If anyone would like to add to this description, feel more than free too, as my experiences with him may be different than others. As always, Happy Hunting and Good Luck out on the Rift
