Want to buy... functional jhin traps

So, the jhin traps are worthless against enemy champions. You know WHY they worthless? An enemy can walk across the entire diameter of the trap explosive area before the trap explodes!

Instead of punishing enemies who blindly walk across jhins minefields, the game rewards enemies who walk across to close with jhin. Of course, jhin has a snipe, and the snipe at max points does immobilize long enough for the traps to detonate. However, this is not the case for nearly the entire game.

So rito, I beg you. Please reduce the detonation time on jhin's traps by .5 seconds so that players can't walk across the entire trap without suffering punishment. Players should walk forward, trigger the trap, walk back out of detonate radius, and wait for trap to go off. Then they can go forward to kill the jhin.

Also, please allow jhins snipe to root for the full 2 seconds from level 1. Just increase the damage per level on it.

Alternatively, what if enemies suffering the effects of 1 jhin trap detonated other jhin traps early if they walk across them? That would make stacked jhin traps pretty deadly :D

Jhin's traps deal way too much damage, especially late game, to be made unavoidable.

Jihns traps are fine, they are meant to slow and give you a window to Q. The damage is just a bonus effect that probably isn't even equated into Jihns power budget.

For damage, the traps are supposed to get comboed with the W. They walk on a trap, you snare them inside of it, they explode for damage. Also the traps work really well as warning systems for incoming ganks.

The traps don't need a buff. They are doing exactly what they are supposed to do.

If you are using his traps as a means to do damage then you are using his traps wrong. They are there to give warnings of incoming danger and to slow down engages on you/your team
