Warlords on Jhin or Deathfire Touch?

Sàkura··1 votes·5,930 views

I am a shitty bronze 2 player in OCE and a vivid jhin main. I usually take DFT (Deathfire Touch) but I heard people now taking warlords on jhin. What do you think?. Personally I take DFT (for kill stealing hehexd) but warlords give me lifesteal on the 4th shot?

What do you think?

Dft got nerfed so taking warlords is better

Warlords provide a safer lane phase and more mobility bc of the movement speed

DFT got nerfed but that doesn't automatically make Warlords better. This is not a good conclusion, you still need to compare them.

A huge dmg reduction even go through the numbers

Warlords has better scaling and crit jhin is stronger than full lethality

Dft has less scaling and 20% less dmg

Warlords > dft

Dft isn't gonna help you against poke matches and try playing jhin and notice it

Whether or not crit Jhin is better than full lethality matters very little since neither DFT nor Warlords scale with armor penetration. I just don't understand your reasoning. There doesn't have to be a "better" when you have 2 diffrent options that can work best depending on the matchup and your playstyle.

Being matched against a poke lane, where the sustain helps you survive, is definetly an argument for Warlords being good against poke lanes (when i say it like this it sounds amazingly simple, doesn't it?)....but not that it's better in general or always.

Do you really need Warlords when you have a Soraka support for example? xD

Maybe if you actually played jhin then you would have actual criticism

So you agree but you can't admit it, because proving that there is only 1 viable mastery for each champion is so important to you? Why? lol

Same reasoning why ap jhin is viable

There is no reason that makes AP Jhin really viable, so that means you don't even need a good reason to insist on your undifferentiated opinion?

Erm... Well played! You are doing a pretty good job disqualifying yourself.

Again you possess no credibility To differentiate either keystone

Play jhin then start giving your valid opinion

Run through the numbers and see why his win rate went down

I reckon Warlords is overall better especially since the heal scales off both crit and AD.

always DFT, he gets the full 4 ticks of it

If you're cool and build crit unlike the lethality plebs the speed boost from your passive is more than enough I feel.

Warlord for sustain (easier laning phase), Deathfire for damage. (more kill potential late game)^^

Warlords is good on Jhin for the same reason as Deathfire: he gets a lot of AD.

I don't think the 4th shot heals more, it just uses your total AD+crit value to calculate the amount it heals. Obviously Jhin works best for this kind of heal from a single shot mechanic.

I've played a lot of Jhin. I personally value the lifesteal and mobility that warlords gives over DFT. Yes, losing the damage sucks but it isn't as much before and the warlords crit healing works with your fourth shot and is very easy to manipulate to get a lot of healing. Try both and see what you like better.
