Jhin needs power shift to make him buying crit instead of lethality

His passive for reminder increases his AD by 30%+AS ratio+Crit ratio, why not make it 5%+increased AS and Crit ratio?

but fact that riot is nerfing him like on pbe means they want to encourage him building lethality

lethality is going to get nerfed anyways.

i dont feel like its a good idea to buff his ad amplifier and to make him even more bursty on a crit build than he already is. we also have to keep % ad bonuses like infernal drakes in mind.

ive actually made a separate thread about it. the easiest solution to balancing armor pen stats is imo distributing even more lethality from item 3814 onto item 3142 and then simply make the big 3 armor counters item 3142 item 3035 item 3071 not stack with each other by giving them same name passives.

this means people would either be limited to % pen/shred, to full lethality builds, or to mixed builds with a much lower lethality cap than now.

people would be either good at killing squishies, or good at busting through armor stackers, or mediocre at both (25 less lethality than now on top of % pen).

you're blind or?

it's not a buff for his AD amp, it's ratio changes to make it weaker if he doesn't build as and crit, but make it the same if he buys as and crit

oh, i misread it srry.

for some reason i thought you wanted to increase his as + crit scaling by 5%, so hes incentivised to go for those stats.

id still go with the other option, since it would be a more systematic fix to armor pen itemization instead of just specific to jhin. hes not the only one who gets ridiculous by stacking all the armor pen.
