It's a travesty that Jhin can sit on his fourth shot for ten seconds

Make him automatically reload after four seconds of not attacking.

10 seconds isn't as much as you probably think. The thing is (and this was never fucking documented) that Jhin can refresh the timer by casting a spell. He can fire the third shot, wait 9 seconds, cast Q, wait 9 seconds, cast W, wait, etc.

Hell, Q has a 7 second CD at rank 1. As long as he has a target to cast Q on he can sit on the fourth shot as long as his mana pool allows him to.

10 seconds is actually a long time. 3 seconds on morg bind is pretty much afk.

I think you misunderstand. People are saying they want him to reload faster to have multiple shots available going into a fight or skirmish instead of having to wait 10 sec just to have 4 bullets available. If I am not mistaken based on the way you replied, you are interpreting it as holding onto that fourth shot so you can get 1 nice crit in and zone people off cs or something. You are both thinking opposites of each other.

Actually... I'm pretty sure it's meant to be a Jhin 4 joke. It probably should have been posted in M&G.

He has 4 whole spells to refresh it with :D

Well then make him have mana costs that make this style of play detrimental but not impossible.

I wish I could hold onto morde's third Q for 10 seconds.

Velzard of Koz2 votes

Well, I still think Jhin holding last bullet would make me more afraid and force me more to get zoned than Morde having third Q prepared. :D Which is very weird picture.

GigglesO2 votes

That is kind of the point. They give lots of free power to champions that they show favoritism to.

Morde's third Q is a fucking nuke at all health percents.

nerf him.

it was worse when his ult would cd more based on unused shots.

He's talking about auto attacks.

khorney10 votes

i know and im just stating something that made him more op. also i believe xerath can do the exact samething

DrCyanide16 votes

Xerath has never been able to refund portions of the cooldown per shot, only some for not firing at all.

Votable Jester6 votes

^ They decided that Xerath's ult should be about unleashing his full power and thus not hold back shots. It's kinda funny when you take into consideration the animations for his ult shots.

DrCyanide2 votes

Well, they at least slightly improved the animation with the Mage Update.

I think the post is more of a joke since he said after 4 seconds.

An Undead brat3 votes

I think I missed that patch, lol, do unused shots not refund portion of CD anymore? How could I miss that? xDD

TheEdgeOfDestiny9 votes

I'm pretty sure it supposed to work this way. Yasuo Q lasts 8 seconds. Annie 4th stack lasts infinity.

Thefrostyviking5 votes

The post is a joke, anything that involves Jhin and 4 tends to be...

And the mechanic is acceptable because if he wants to sit on 4 shots in lane he´ll miss CS or burn mana for it, altho it could stand to be reduced to 6 seconds or something.

Yes, you at guys at M&G only try to make people laugh but you fail because it's reposted garbage or images directly stolen from other websites, here on Gameplay we get the occasional QQ bronze idiot who doesn't want to make people laugh but succeed, the rest of the post are talking about issue in the game.

COUGH Annie COUGH

Kukan Seishin3 votes

it's a cc, just like Maokai can TECHNICALLY hold onto his cc forever, jhin's fourth shot is a massive damage ability that gives him a guaranteed ms buff and costs 0 mana, given that in lane it IS the MOST potent trading ability of all adc's right now. Annie can hold cc forever, so can anyone else who has cc abilites. Just think about it that way.

Shadòw6 votes

Annies cc is tied to her Abilities.

when she uses one, the stun is gone.

just as Jhins 4th shot is tied to his autos.

he can't hold onto it forever as he needs his autos to cs.

Kukan Seishin3 votes

Yes but being able to hold onto such a powerful trading tool (for an adc) is pretty ridiculous, which I think is what he is getting after in this post, although he can't hold his trading tool forever, the duration that he holds it may be a bit to long, now with annie, that's just the champion, so thats just that :/ her being able to hold her trading tool until she needs to use it for wave clear (assuming you are mid and not support) is just how it goes. I get where you are coming from though, (lvl 7 annie here)

Shadòw5 votes

yes but being able to theoretically hold unto it forever doesn't mean he can afford as there are 6 cs per wave.

he needs to use it or he will just lose cs while you can just stay back to not get hit. when you set it up correctly you won't lose more cs than him if he still tries to zone you with it.

after using the shot he is vulnerable and easily punishable.

it's a strong trading tool, but it has the reload to compensate and also you can exactly see when he has his 4th shot ready.

Kukan Seishin6 votes

Fair enough. Thanks for the conversation

Jhin is a patient, precise man who knows how to prepare. I say increase it to 44 seconds.

Depárt4 votes

Hell no, his 4th shot timer lasts that long because his reload timer is 2.5 seconds.

A Bad Nasus2 votes

i remember riot nerfing Lucian passive uptime for the same reason

A Basic Island2 votes

rights? It's even worse when you sit there waiting for him to reload only for him to instantly go back to 4 instead having a tiny window of downtime

Zedex2 votes

Fun fact, you can extend that window by simply placing a trap. I can't remember properly if his Q and W also extend the duration at which he can hold it.

Hardstuck G44 votes

They can

Slimegoon2 votes

Literally every mechanic with a counter in the game falls off quicker than Jhin's fourth shot. Morde Q, Vayne W, Braun stacks, Twitch stacks, Kalista stacks, Xin Q, Ezreal stacks, jesus I could go on and on but there's no point.

Oh, I forgot one that doesn't: Annie's stun. Hmmmm.
