nerf jhin

he has so much CC for an adc. You can say his tradeoff is immobility, but where is kog'maws CC then? Not to mention Jhin's passive can give him bonus movement speed which helps his immobility woes.

his packrate in pro matches should be enough of a tipoff that he is overtuned

hes decent. not too strong not weak either. if i had a single gripe it would be his early game 4th shot execution. its a little too strong but thats about it

it's just that his CC coupled with a support with multiple hard CC like Leona Alistar even Thresh can quickly snowball out of control.

if jhin gets a kill, many times landing 1 cc spell = a kill, because jhin and his support can chain cc so effectively. The only other hard cc on an ADC i can think of is on long CD ults, Ashe Varus , also Vayne but that is also long CD and quite situational.

Only issue I have with Jhin is his ultimate. The damage is insane, and the huge slow makes it much too easy to hit multiple shots of it. I feel it should either be less reliable, or do less damage.

If Jhin ults you're supposed to jump on his shit immediately since he can't move while in it and the way the camera changes makes it harder to see what's happening to Jhin himself. And just have someone tanky block the squishies and it's manageable

In teamfights, sure, but not when he decides to snipe you from really far away.

Kog'maw doesn't have cc because he can deal much more damage than Jhin can

He doesnt have that reliable CC. Its very narrow skillshot and it requires target to be damaged before getting hit by his W in order to root. Otherwise its just a slow. As for Kogmaw, he also have slow but Kogmaw is hypercarry. His %hp damage, attack speed, on hit damage are trade off for not having any CC. Jhin has reload system on his autos, so he needs a bit more CC. As for other ADCs with CC: Jinx chompers, Quinn blind and Vault, Cait has traps, Tristana has knockback. Kalista has slow and knockup on her ulti.

Jhin is fine as he is, no need for nerfs or buffs.

Not according to PBE. In fact some of his core items are getting buffed.

So much cc? He has a fairly decent slow and a blockable thin-as-all-fk skillshot which is the ONLY way that E wll EVER land.

I just don't like the fact that he seems to out snipe caitlyn at times.

He will see nerfs only if pros abuse him or some new item makes him OP. He is probably fine now.
