Why no one bans Jhin?

HP Crookshanks··7 votes·2,433 views

I agree cancers (Yasuo Zed Fizz Zoe etc) are must be banned but Jhin is also cancerous. He is almost uncatchable/unkillable because of his movement speed and long ranged abilities but he's rarely banned despite his high win rate and insane pick rate.

Jhin's worth a ban? sure but there's worse ADC's who need banning.

MissFortune Draven for example.

There are worse champions than Jhin right now

I feel like MF is worse.. she's fast and deals 'one-shot' tier damage even without many items.

item 3095 sucks so much... MS buff you can access every 3 seconds whee. Not just on Jhin. MF and Draven have native MS boosts and I think it's 20% on the active MS. Throw a phantom dancer on that baby and we're off to the races!

Riot wanted to play with the domino stack of 'meta'. As much as people complained it was like a delicate ecosystem.

So what happens if you don't have a 'protect the adc' meta? Turns out, for adcs to remain viable in such a situation... they can get away with less protection. It's like one of those classic genie 'be careful what you wish for' myths.

Vayne is almost untouchable because of that stealth on her Q during her R and the increased Ult duration on kill. Not talking about the true damage and the 1v5 enemy Vayne everyone has seen :DD

But she isn't as strong as Jhin at the moment and doesn't have his range nor burst.

Yeah. She's stronger. She has all the true damage in the world, and has the roll/invis to help her deal damage. As a Jhin main, if you shut him down early, he's done for

Her True damage is garbage. Go actually look at a Vayne game's damage stats before you talk. It's 95% physical, stemming from Q or E wall knocks. The True damage is tiny as hell and actually her worst skill slot, and only on every third attack. Vayne's Q can hit 1700-1800 crits without enchanter assistance.

If you try to bring item 3031 into the equation, then yeah. The math changes a little, but so does it on EVERY adc, especially Jinx who just regularly outranges all but about 25 skills in the entire game. (You literally have to suicide dive her and get shredded in the process, or stall out with skills like Morgana 's Q)

Those are the most over exaggerated numbers ever.

Vayne's Q doesn't do anywhere near that number.

Patch 7.19 removed the ability for the bonus damage on Tumble to critically strike.

Patch 8.11 removed Infinity Edge's Critical damage multiplier.

Practice tool with a full crit build at level 18 my Q empowered AA was doing about 450 damage.

I'd have to dig around but the numbers are legit. In 7.22 I actually had Vayne hit some 2650 Q's because there was a Zoe on the team doubling the damage. When she didn't, Vayne was critting 1600-1700s.

And I'm well aware that Vayne's Q damage doesn't crit beyond the base attack damage. But..... atm Adcs are also running about 100 more AD than they used to in Season 7, and the scaling on her Q is extremely high.

I'll try to find you a game..... although right now Vayne is a rarity. Her normal Auto attacks are critting about 650 right now.

Well it is true that Vayne doesn't onshot you. She just fires at you 3 times in less than 2 seconds and her stun is long enough to keep you from running so it is pretty much the same

Plus if she has 6 stacks of Rageblade, she pops her passive in 2 AA's and destroys you

Illabethe1 votes

Would require a long fight to charge the Rageblade..... and a really dumb opposing team to let it happen.

She also only has 525 Attack range, and it's easy to back out of her ult with a couple skill shot cc's to slow her, and then go back in once her ult is down.

She's not really a danger until Q gets maxed. That's almost her entire kit's damage. Q.

525?

Vayne's 550.

But she has no damage that extends outside of that 550 range.

47-48% win rate champion.

No one bans her because she isn't worth a ban.

Also...

Yasuo main talking.

we only get so many bans...

The honest reason no one bans him is because players are just now discovering the Hail of Blades Jhin. Prior to the rune, he's been a really slow starting adc that generally doesn't hit off in the fast paced meta.

I suspect his ban rate will go up a lot as people start experiencing Hail of Blades Jhin more.

Hayaishi1 votes

Because he's vulnerable to alot of things, has a lot counterplay because all of his strong abilities (W and R) are skillshots and he has no dashes, yeah he is fast but he's still vulnerable to being dove.

Also he can be punished in lane. God knows MF and Draven are both ridiculous all game and their laning phases are absurd.

Because I play Zed and Rengar

JAYCCCCCCCCCCCCE1 votes

Because Jhin's mobility is non existent so its pretty easy to kill him. Id ban Quinn or Draven over a Jhin anyday

Yenn1 votes

Jhin is pretty fine, he's just annoying for melee to stick to. He loses to almost every other ADC unless he's ahead, and he has no defense against assassination.

You can play something like Tristana and literally just jump on him and kill him after he uses one or two shots.

If you want to ban an ADC ban Quinn Draven MissFortune in approximately that order

Alex h87211 votes

becauseDraven Quinn Zoe and a handful of other exist and take priority over that ban slot, yes he's obnoxious but he's not nearly as cancerous as some others right now

Daddy Ants1 votes

MissFortune for example is supposed to be an early game power house who falls off the later the game goes...

Dark Harvest is removing the "fall off"

Daddy Ants1 votes

I'm legit gonna start perm banning this abomination.
