Do people consider Jhin OP or balanced?

What are current thoughts on him? I'm asking because he's pretty much the only ADC I have fun playing, the reload mechanic is cool, and I love the music that plays when you start a game as him, he just feels super alive.

thoughts on his current state of balance?

Not OP. Balanced maybe. He is working ok but he could use a slight touch of improvement.

My feeling is that he's insanely strong late game.

As an ADC main, I have no problems with him in lane. He's really easy to bully. I often can stomp him in lane, at least zoning him and getting a large CS lead. Unfortunately that opens me to jungle pressure and stops my jungler from bothering to come help (which is one of his weaknesses, so maybe not the best strategy against him).

Regardless, he's weak early and I typically get an early lead. Playing Jinx, a hypercarry of all else.

What tends to happen for most Jhin's though, is they inevitably get a few kills in teamfights and suddenly start doing insane amount of damage come mid-late game (if he gets that far). Late game teamfights against Jhin seem to go very badly for me. They force Baron and his traps just litter the area and suddenly even though you're positioned well you step on one and you're dead. Late game comes down to Jhin attacking from huge range while the enemy ADC prays to not hit a trap. He seems incredibly hard to kill late game, and does insane burst damage.

I'd like to see the late game toned down a bit, compensated with a better early game if necessary.

He's my most played adc this season, my performance on him might not be the best, but i find him to be, balanced, he cant 1v1 any adc in equal grounds and needs protection....

Strong late game, but low mobility makes him easy to kill.

I once was soraka using the talisman's active on him and EVEN WITH THAT, he was slow as fuck.

So yeah, he's technically balanced. High damages for a Movement speed slower than Veigar's.

I think his damage is ok. He trades AS for raw damage burst. If jhin is able to focus AA me as a squishy in team-fight I think he deserved to kill me.

I absolutely hate his range on his stun though. Oh, and I don't like that that I can not see his traps. These two things I feel lack counter play.

But I do think he is more balanced than champs like Jinx Tristana

You mean the stun that requires you to have already taken an ability and can be dodged? And item 3364 item 2043 I guess theres no way to see traps that have a delay on them. Don't use terms like "lack counter play" if you don't know what it means.

In my experience he feels pretty weak. Then again, I could just be playing with bad Jhins.
