Can we give Jhin the Lucian treatment please?

AKA reduce his passive's duration?

Lucian's passive duration was halved because he could hold it in and pressure the enemy ADD with it for a long time.

Meanwhile, Jhin can hold his 4th shot for 10 seconds before it goes away, which is pretty oppressive early game. Something like 5 seconds would be a lot more balanced.

At least, with a reduced duration, he wouldn't be so oppressive in lane, but he would still be good in extended trades and teamfighting, as he shouldn't stop attacking for so long.

He trades oppression with the fact that he can't do anything during. He can't CS he can't cast a lot of spells at the risk of dropping his fourth shot. He's also extremely immobile despite the burst of speed he gets from his fourth proc.

The only reason why Lucian got the nerf was because he's oppressive AND mobile. You can't have both.

Jihn has no mobility but he's oppressive.

Lucian has mobility and he's somewhat oppressive due to the new crazy he has.

And you're referring between a guy who can shoot like it's 2.50 Attack Speed & this one guy who can't increase his Attack Speed at all.

It's not very hard to avoid, just walk away when he's walking towards you. Even if you lose CS, so will he because he can't CS and zone at the same time with his 4th shot.

Jhin is fine.

Uh, yeah, except Lucian can just keep CSing instead and poke you whenever you get into range instead of holding it. While Jhin has four shots, static attack speed, and an extremely long static reload time.

No.
