Jhin is alot of fun but i feel like his reload time drastically holds him back.

After playing him a few games i really like Jhin hes fun to play and Late game can put out some scary damage and his ult does its job very well.

However every single game i have played him in and seen him played in his drastic reload time just completely and utterly limits his potential.

I have seen Jhins miss kills that any other ADC would have gotten simply because the reload time is so long forcing him to either back off or over commit to get the kill. Its literally the one aspect of his kit i do not like and feel like drastically holds him back from being any semblance of decent. It works on Graves because he hits hard and has his reload speed reduced with attack speed. Jhin doesn't get that instead he gets a crazily overloaded and ridiculously worded passive to make up for it but IMO it doesn't make up for it.

Jhin has limited amount of shots, becouse he has a lot more utility then average adc and demage wise hes pretty balanced comparing with all the stuff he offers.

Every shot counts.

hes basically an adc and a burst mage at the same time. so yea, hes got to have some kind of drawback. and 4 shots isnt hard to manage wth his kit, especially since the 4th bullet gives you a movement speed boost and lets him retreat to reload.

I got no problem with the 4 shots at all.

its the 2.5 second reload time that i find to be the issue.

Seriously Leonas entire combo last for about 2.8 seconds and jhins reload is almost as long as that.

Morganas rank 3 Q lasts 2.5 seconds long.

Amumus Ulti only lasts 2 seconds.

All three of those are massive crowd control abilities that if they hit an enemy is enough to utterly change a fight entirely.

Jhins 2.5 second reload time is enough for him to lose a fight entirely if it happens at the wrong time.
