Question about Jhin's W (Deadly Flourish~)

Stand Alone Wolf·Jan 13, 2016·1 votes·5,029 views

If anyone on my team hits an enemy, & I'm within the area (Or not) my W's passive will give them a mark for a few seconds (usually a few means three.) After whomever was marked is hit by my W they are then rooted for a good 2, 2.5, or 3 seconds, & I gain a movement speed based on the duration of their stun. Will their be a cooldown on my W Deadly flourish's passive, or will it be a stun fest? Will his W have a bit longer of a cooldown, or cost more mana than his other abilities? I know he'll be broken for a good patch or two until his gameplay is observed, & adjusted based on players responses to his gameplay in the boards "RITO, JHINS E TRAPS ARE TOO OP!" I was just curious about this rooting ability.

Idk why people are saying he's broken because half the time that root is super important. Jhin has slow attack speed and even slower movement speed. Sometimes that root is the only way you could escape a bunch of champions bearing down on you. And the root only works on ONE champion at a time as Deadly flourish stops after hitting the FIRST champion. So if there's at least 1 person coming after you... That 2.5 seconds means life or death for you. Plus his w does have a longish cool down and usually people build him with all attack damage and crit chance so he doesn't usually get cooldown time reduction until late game. I think he's pretty well made. His weaknesses is pretty obvious but with skill could be overcome. He has obvious counters. Like any assassin champion or Yasuo could easily close the gap between Jhin and themselves and destroy him. Half of Jhin's attacks takes time to set up. Like his w ability or his ult. Anyone with basic coordination skills could dodge his attacks and anyone who played Jhin could tell you how squishy he is. If it wasn't for his crit damage, he would never be able to trade bullets with any of the ADCs. He's new yes but not broken.
