Jhin Buffs?

Champion.gg - Jhin ADC Stats, Builds, Runes, Masteries and Counters

So we are all aware that ADC's are stuck in this weird stage between getting one shot by the enemy zed and carrying games GG EZ style. But one champion who is currently being overlooked is Jhin, The Virtuoso. Little know fact, his win rate is nearing the 46% mark faster than I could write this forum. In just about a week, his win rate went down a whole percent and a quarter. Jhin's ult has been nerfed twice (6.17 and 7.4), his W dmg has been nerfed, and by a lot overall. His ult used to actually do sufficient dmg and could engage in enemies by slowing them. Riot acts as though the shots arnt easy enough to dodge already. On top of this, Jhin got hit hard by the lethality nerf after Riot realized it was OP. They nerfed the slow on the ult, you know, the only tool that actually made it possible to aim correctly. With the deathfire touch nerf and BORK buff for other adcs, this art-making maniac has gone out of style. Yes, im aware that he was super broken upon realease but he reached a nice balance from 6.2-7.3 until Riot covered his mask with nerfs. Personally, everything about Jhin fascinates me. His LORE, his quotes, even his gun, Whisper. I have a high regard for this champion and Riot doesn't seem to notice his plummet.

He had his very very long time in the spotlight I like not seeing him at 35% playrate atleast for a few more patches.

But he's Jhin, he literally belongs in the spotlight.

In my opinion, Jhin doesn't need buffs, Blade of the Ruined King just needs nerfs, it is incredibly strong right now and putting all marksmen who can't build in, in a weaker position than them.

^This Jhin is the only ADC who can't use BotRK to it's full potential, even more casterlike adcs like Varus and Miss Fortune are building it because of how powerful it is in it's current state. As soon as BotRK gets it's round of nerfs and it settles down he should be back in shape, he just can't compete currently because he can't abuse the BotRK powerspike and gets dominated by other ADCs who can.

Jhin is absolutely fine. His win rate would be over 50% if Lucian, Twitch, and Kog weren't so OP right now.

kog'maw OP? lmao get out of here

Lugg1 votes

Kog does the highest sustained damage in the game late. He is super OP if he has a support that can peel for him.

NodirjonSattarov1 votes

so that pertains to any ADC really. amazing how OP-ness is conditional on some champions and explicit on others

Lugg2 votes

I agree that all ADCs are OP. It's been like that for 4 seasons.

However, there is a big difference between the ones who are hyper carries late game.

Jhin is a champion that only gets Strong through Items and scaling. Jhin is fine. the win rate is downhill because peopel are still building lethality.

Sexy Jack Rabbit2 votes

He's seriously perfectly fine. In fact he's in the most balanced state he has been pretty much since release.

It's just the meta, he does not need buffs.

MeDicenWera2 votes

We don't need this post right now about a champ that's been good since release and is just comparatively weak because of Lucian, Twitch, Ez, Lulu

NodirjonSattarov2 votes

he was a huge problem for an entire year - i'm okay with him being shitty for a while

Critmaster Garen2 votes

his ult was never meant to engage fights.

they put % missing health scalings on it, to allow him to pick of stragglers after a skirmish or team fight.

chipndip11 votes

They put the slow on it so he could engage fights with it...even his spotlight said that it's best used to start or clean up fights.

Hey, your name reminds me of Sona X Rubick, who is now Gh God or something.

Haven't seen him on the boards recently; and I've only missed about half a week on here. Did he decide to leave? Trying to catch back up here after some stuff happened irl.

Ahristocats1 votes

Yup, the tragedy is real. He unfortunatly taught a lulu main about how to bully in laning phase and then you know he following. He was killed during his sleep

But bear not, because he also taught a janna main about how to not get bullied in lane and thus i'm here to continue the rest of the work on the board [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

TyrekGoldenspear1 votes

...

You are Rubick aren't you?

I would just check your profile, but I feel it would be better manners to just ask you.

Ahristocats1 votes

i don't understand, you told me once that i shouldn't reveal my identity to make the board thinking the tragedy was real

yes i'm Rubick, and i changed my name to this one as i'm going to eternally main Janna, until she gets nerfed for low elo like Sona and becomes unplayable in high tiers

TyrekGoldenspear1 votes

Yeah, I did say that.

Mb, my brain isn't working today. It's kinda obvious that you're Rubick.

If Janna makes it through Season 7 without nerfs, I'll be blown away.

Ahristocats1 votes

she's already being nerfed hue, new ancient coin is a thresh passive and trying to get gold with it as janna against mages or thresh will be impossible mission

but let me say this: no janna nerfs before lulu nerfs!

Skins Project1 votes

Try spell theif's edge.

It's not QUITE as useful on janna but it's still decent. It alters the laneing phase a bit tho.

What if they rework or buff sona?

Ahristocats1 votes

LOL you have hope that's cute

in all seriousness it won't happen until at least 2018 and i'm being kind on the date, because it's the best thing that can happen, worst thing is she's never reworked because she's already popular for low elo

TyrekGoldenspear1 votes

His perfect winrate is 44.44%.

There is nothing wrong with Jhin, the popular champions currently are just very good against him. It was going to happen eventually, things run on a cycle.
