Are we getting any Jhin nerfs soon or power shifts?

i literally see him every game if I don't ban him, he's not particularly hard to beat he's just like old Yorick, kind of a wall, it's incredibly hard to snowball against and is truly anti fun to play against in lane.

is there anything proposed to see less of him? he may not have a high pick rate overall, but he's pick or ban almost 100% of all games i'm in

51% win rate, doesn't deserve nerfs

power shift? maybe depending on the change

well jhin is in a pretty good spot right now because he can counter the op picks to some degree and fairs well with the crit builds coming back into meta, he was decent in the armor pen "shift" but with lethality making crit build better till late game he gets huge amounts of ad from crit and attack speed so of course he is good right now.

Jhin is a champ with obvious counterplay just learn to play against him while he is vulnerable

You couldn't have said this any better. I would completely agree with saying he doesn't beat the op picks hes just really good at not dying and going even with the op picks. He also has very obvious counter play and very obvious strengths which makes him really balanced.

he's also easy as sin to play and synergizes way too well with any cc champions, i have to basically be a lot better than any random jhin player to win

i am just sick of seeing him i'm not complaining he's too OP i just want him out of games

Well I'm sad to say this but he is insanely fun to play so the only way he doesn't get an insane playrate is if he gets nerfed to crap and then riot will have all his fanboys on their case. But he's in a really good spot right now. If you want some good adc's to play into him Ezreal because he can just play safe and go even with jhin Caitlyn nuff said about this one Tristana This one because I think tristana is very underrated at the moment I don't know why but I always just do good going into jhin and cait with her. Shes one of the few adc's that outscales cait

Why? He is fun to play vs and play as, predictable playstyle, clear weaknesses and strengths, can be shut down or snowball.

As an Old Yorick main (rip the only reason i enjoyed league) Jhin is nothing like him. Nothing at all.

Wait if you know his counters, and beat him, why wouldn't you want him played?

because it's stale, i hate playing against the exact same opponent every single game, it doesn't help me improve, it doesn't represent a balanced game, it's just people picking jhin

I think his pick rate is only this high because people have a great time playing him. I don't really think pick rate is a reliable indicator for the game health of a champion. It can also be an indicator for a champion that is really well designed.

He is fine right now, and actually is in the middle of the current top 5 played ADCs (Caitlyn, Vayne, Ez, Twitch, and Jhin). And a 51% win rate isn't anything to complain about. It is not high nor is it low. That +1% is likely due to bad lane match-ups, AFK's, Trolls, and other outside influences. And just because something is/seems 100% pick/ban, does not always make it broken or OP, it could be just that it is popular among players. If anyone needs a nerf it would likely be either Camille or Rengar.
