i recently found out the hard way. leona's constant cc shuts him down completely and due to his immobility hes a dead man.

so if you have trouble with jhin make your support leona.

item 2043 But to be serious here are a few champs I've used and did well against Jhin: Sivir - I find it easy to spell shield his Q W AND E. His Lotus traps are literally free mana. Of course it's also safe to use it on his 4th ult shot. Quinn - just land your Q's. When he's trying to shoot you with the lethal 4th auto, Q him. Draven - one of the few who can trade well with autos (against Jhin)

Also get some aggressive tank supports. Blitzcrank Leona Thresh

Anybody that can actually DPS counters Jhin. You literally just wait until he's used a shot or two on minions then you go harass the balls off him.

i have found Nidalee to be very good vs Jhin . unless he gets REALLY far ahead. he is very squishy and has low mobility plus if you land the spear right afer his 4th shot he will need to reload and nid can get into range very fast with an empowered pounce if a spear hits

Jhin's weaknesses seem way too numerous when compared to his strengths. What are those, anyway? Damage? Ok, that's good, but you could argue that every other ADC has the potential to do that damage and far more consistently. Hard CC? Alright, sure. That is something new that Jhin brings to the table since it can be used from so far away, but it's also incredibly easy to miss, does negligible damage, and is still conditional.

It feels like Jhin was packaged as a utility Marksman, but then they tried to shove damage in there too, so they had to package him with a ton of conditions to that damage. At first glance, when you see Jhin doing the most amount of damage he can at a given time, you think to yourself, holy crap! THAT'S OP! But in reality, the times you'll actually be able to get that damage off are pretty far and between, and netting a kill without being interupted by your own reload time, even more so. I like Jhin, I really do. He is an awesome concept. I just feel like his kit is a bit confused on what it's actually trying to achieve.
