So what is the logic behind Jhin?

This basic logic applies to all sorts of games.

When you cripple a character/item/ability in one area you give it a large advantage in another.

Jhin's entire kit should be based around being slow, ranged, and thinking about his fights but instead we got a finished champion that: Is horribly immobile both early and late ( and his movement speed buff will not help him unless the enemy also lacks mobility don't deny it), Has average AA range, Has decent ability range, abilities that only do well during the early and don't hit for anything during the late excluding the ult, An AD steroid (which is alright), but most importantly crippled auto attacked with majorly chunked crit damage.

For balanced purposes if you're going to cripple his mobility and attackspeed to give him a focus on damage then you actually need to follow through and give him a large buff in damage, instead the mess that we got is feeling less like a unique artistic adc and more like a really sub par ADC character who requires someone to baby sit him just to be able to do what other marksmen are capable of doing on their own with only alittle more damage to compensate.

He isn't an ADC. That, and trying to play him as an ADC, that's probably your problem.

I have no problems using him at all.

I have the exact thoughts and I truly do try to play him as more of an AD mage but even then he lacks the damage to keep up with other mages and lacks the DPS to be considered an ADC.

I think his damage as a mid is pretty good actually. Once you get bf sword is when it starts rolling.

Mages are generally very squishy, and they don't generally build armor. If you use that fourth gatunteed crit, its going to do a good chunck of damage, and the speed boost helps for a quick retreat.

That and use your traps wisely. Put them off to the side of the minion waves. If the enemy stays in minion wave, you can do a surprising amount of damage wit . Q bounces if you set it up to kill a minio. Or two before it hits enemy champ.

That will make them start playing the outside. Where your traps are. Its only a matter of time before they hit one, you root them in it with your W, and between the trap explosion, an As(a crit aa if its timed right) and a Q for good measure, they are going to be low, and if you can't finish them off and or they retreat, perfect time to ult.

He simply isn't an ADC. He is an ad vaster, and if you play him as such and abandon the idea that he is an ADC you will find much more success with him.

And as so.eone stated previously in not, though I don't like taking him there, if you have like a morg or Leona, he can still do very well.

Soon as they engage, throw a trap on them while they are stunned, root with W after trap procs (with Leona and morg you should have plenty of time for this) then between aa's Q and trap explosion you can do a shitload of damage.

Be aware though and if you are out of bullets, enemy support will screw you up, or you simply can't finish them off before it becomes too risky take the good trade and back off, call it a win.

Ikr he is actually a really solid mid laner but as an adc he falls a bit short compared to most adc's. As a mid laner he has a strong lvl 1 and 2 in lane with that dancing grenade with his passive with nice follow up to a jungle gank with his root. he also can get off some roams off from the mid lane with his ult.

Just to clear things up if I didn't like the champion I wouldn't be complaining. I really was looking forward to this champion alot and couldn't wait for him to be released but there's no way this could honestly be called a finished product in his current state.

He needs buffs, yes, but he can get to be abusive in some circumstance.

Depending on the lane you play he can be a good harass champion like Quinn is during the early but once everyone hits 6 he becomes much weaker compared to champions with their ulties that typically allow them to jump on him and kill him off with no way of escape or out damaging them.

Nope, I mean I once had to fight a combo of Morgana-Jhin bot.... it was a nightmare, he just needs a champ that is able to root, stun, or ensnare and his laning is done.
