Unpopular Opinion: I don't think Jhin needed buffs
I think as a few people have said and pointed out the type of champion jhin is doesn't work for a meta that has too much shields and heals. And again as a couple have pointed out shield/heals are the issue to many under-performing champions. Seems like champions with constant damage or instant burst are the only ones capable of being viable damage dealers.
Yesterday i had a match I was playing
and i played the peel for my carry and got blasted by
and
with a
in the back. Okay we got rekt. Second round same thing, xin when in on the ADC i peeled i got blasted and we got rekt'd. So third round i go fight jhin and turns out taking damage directly from him and he was hurting like a bitch, i died because of his
but we won that fight because he was wounded and got killed. Next fights i just went full berserk ham on him with
his team didn't peel for him. He ended up dying we won the team fights the second i went aggressive on jhin. What the hell is my point? no team had enchanters, and all of the sudden jhin was able to carry his game but had no peels. My ADC was
so she peeled herself. This means from my experience that
-
Jhin can still carry a game when he's not countered ( staple for any game shouldn't just warm the milk for ADC's )
-
What's up with all other champs that are countered by this toxic shield/heal/tank/CC meta? will they get warm milk too ? probably not too many things too fix to make them viable in the current stage
-
Why not just balance the thing stopping many champions from being able to perform better and bring down those that are doing too good? (shield abusers and item abuse ) This way we don't end up with too many champions overperforming because of buffs
