Is anyone else getting tired of Barry Allen Jhin build?

When people started playing full attack speed Jhin and moving around super fast, I thought it was absolutely hilarious. A troll build that has less DPS output but can blink around like a madman in between slow, methodical shots was an absolute meme and a blast to play. Now with Stormrazer and Hail of Blades, this speedy boi build (albeit with less attack speed items) is basically the norm, and it's annoying. The humor has run out, now it just pisses me off.

I get why Jhin gets a small speed boost after critting or landing a W. He has to get a little boost to help reposition in between his way longer than average auto attack window. However, once he starts getting into the 500 or 600 movespeed range, it's just a bit bullshit. This is a slow and methodical sniper character whose every action is measured rather than a right clicking madman. He shouldn't be speeding towards you like an ulting Master Yi and able to dodge skillshots with ease. This goes beyond orb walking and I'm tired of it, we need to put a cap on how fast his speed boost can be after a crit.

Okay, one, it's called "The Fast," don't taint it with something as mundane as "speedy build."

Two, yes, Stormrazor did push this build over the edge, but it was always strong to begin with. The only reason it wasn't played regularly was that It had a hell of a scaling curve that required at least 3 zeal items before he could even get damage, let alone his passive scales with level

Oh, yes, Riot already tried to nerf by him sending a Terminator to stop his reign of terror, but that only made him faster due to the power of anime.

"Never fear. The Fast is here".

Plenty of builds go against character design, but this one is particularly egregious. The speed boost is insane and with celerity you don't even sacrifice a significant amount of damage. Stormrazor totally broke the full AS build for Jhin because of how reliable his bonus speed is. (I actually prefer Fleet Footwork on Jhin but just because I like not dying)

I thought the title was talking about Barry from Resident Evil for a second. Now I want a Barry Burton skin for Jhin.

Remove Stormrazor from the game.
