Melee damage is garbage Unless you're a tank or Irelia you will lose lane to ranged champions as a melee Nobody takes fervor of battle compared to thunderlords, yet fervor is being nerfed Protobelt and Rylais needed nerfs

There wasn't a single melee champ that was played as damage threat. Maybe 1 if you count the 5 Irelia games. Really fucking sad how much of an advantage being ranged is.

Ekko was, Rumble was, Trundle kinda does that, Fiora, Hecarim, Nocturne and Kled got picks, Olaf and Lee bring early-game damage, and then you get to the question of whether transforming champs can be counted.

Yeah Ekko was played as dmg threat with his full tank build.

Rumble is not really a melee champ with his 3 damaging abilities all having 600+ range.

Fiora, Hecarim, Nocturne and Kled got played 1 game each..wow.

I didn't know that Trinity Force was a tank item. The more you know.

Jhin was 27-7-21 in the finals, played in every game and is still not nerfed. I don't get it.

Ghostblade and Maw are getting changed in season 7 and they'll be much worse on him than they are now, I think.

We'll see where he lands in the ADC balance hierarchy after that.

In addition You have to consider that in the competitive environment the ability for Jhin to safely force engagements from extreme range is his ymost valuable asset, and that function of his kit is not nearly as powerful in solo queue. That's also why Ashe is a relevant pick in Competitive but its very rare to see her in solo queue.

I know they adc itemization is gonna change in the next season especially armor pen items. You're right on this. But i don't care if his ult is super viable in pro play because Azir got nerfed to the ground spezifically because of pro play. Same for Kalista. I want to see him nerfed.
