Jhin is pretty much unplayable unless you are either Bronze or High ELO

In low bronze no one has any clue what's going on, you can win with anything there and play whatever you like.

In high level play you have a dependable team that will not lose the earlygame brutally and can and will peel for you.

And in between? Either your team screws up so hard early that when you reach your item-gated powerspike (IE+Another offensive item) the the nexus turrets have fallen already OR no one has any idea how to play in a team or how to peel properly ( which sadly takes more skill than the enemy assassin needs to just walk up and murder me).

I think Jhin needs a little poweshift, down from his monsterous brutal lategame to his completly garbage early-mid.

A champion has been available to play less than a week, and people who don't know how play with them? Shocking.

Agreed. I think if (similarly to Graves) there was a way for his reload time to be increased, even if it means toning down some of his damage, it would be overall beneficial to his game play overall. Perhaps something like where he starts to reload bullets as soon as he goes empty, but if you want the guaranteed crit you need to wait for him to reload all 4 bullets.

I like this idea, if he's using a revolver he can reload one at a time, but he only puts the crit bullet in when he finishes reloading, 'you can't rush perfection'

Bronze is ~30% of the playerbase. Another ~10% in Diamond.

And the other 60% and try harder/less and fix the problem. Next issue.

Nah, Diamond is not even what I'm getting at, platin would probably be decent enough I guess...

Ha, ok. Well I'm sorry my standards aren't up to yours. Good luck out there.

I'm happy with anything that's better than the garbage I have to deal with right now if I'm honest...

Jhin honestly feels a bit too weak... Like u cant do jack shit against bs like Fiora, any bruiser or tank, any burst mage,... + he cant carry if his team sucks :/

he cant carry if his team sucks :/

And thats applicable to almost every adc :)

He's shit in High Elo. 40% winrate in Plat+, you have to remember that in the decent ratings people will be able to abuse your shit early much harder. By the time you have a few items all your outer towers will be gone and the enemy team will have wards all over your jungle.

Jhin has a bad early game and doesn't have the DPS of other ADC's late game. His advantage is the insane sniping potential from his ult late game, his ability to catch people out with his traps and w, and his High damage Autos when he hits late. His winrate is pretty low at all elos hovering around 40% in both mid and ADC. I personally love playing him and take him whenever he isn't picked. Luckily i don't have to worry about him being banned because of his bad winrate
