Played as Cait (ADC) with a Jhin (Mid) on my team...

Dominick Destine·Feb 1, 2016·2 votes·1,402 views

I practically could have afked from how much better every single one of his abilities was compared to mine.

I ulted someone and it did potatoes.... then he pulled out his ult and raped everything (Killed two). His skills had way more range than mine and he was doing way more damage than I was... and I was doing pretty well.

Basically this is not a "Jhin is OP" thread, it's a "Holy shit , this really exposes how weak Caitlyn actually is" thread, I used to defend Caitlyn arguing that she was balanced/fine but .... no longer.

I really like Caitlyn , especially the new Lunar Wraith skin , but I can't help but consider her to be very weak and in dire need of buffs....

Seeing as you only made the post 5 minutes ago, and people are probably only now getting home from school (whether it is do to an extracaricular activity or a college class that runs late) it is no surprise that no one has commented anything, so let me be the first (or 3rd... took me a bit to type all of this).

Jhin has just come out. Like when every new champ comes out no one has absolutely any idea how to play against them. So odds are Jhin got really fed before laning phase ended, and was thus able to destroy everything. Caitlyn on the other hand has been out for a very long time (she was out for free week the first time I played and was the second champion ever that I played). So people know how to play against. My guess is that you weren't as fed. So it is no wonder that Jhin would make caitlyn look second class, but if this wasn't the case then there are other things to take into account.

Jhin I would consider more of an assassin/duelist marksman (with an okay laning phase because his auto range is the same as pretty much every other marksman and he only has 4 shots so extended early trades will go against him) where as caitlyn has the longest range of any adc (aside from tristana who slightly overtakes her late game) she has no reload time, and her abilities are much more efficient for clearing waves and harrassing at the same time (she needs just her q where zhin might need q and w to clear waves with abilities). Transitioning into the late game both still have their own strengths and weaknesses. Caitlyn has insane zone control with her traps giving her insane siege (definitely better than Zhins) and can sit behind her team and right-click the enemy team to death. Zhin has to use his abilities to effectively kite around a team fight trying to get in range (the same range as most other adcs) to use his 4th auto. As far as his siege goes it seems like he has okay poke, but overall you would be better with a corki or ezreal (and caitlyn is definitely better).

Cait in dire needs of buffs? Someone clearly didnt watch Piglet with her in lcs yesterday. Her traps alone are incredibly strong in seiges. Nerf worthy even.

I'll check that game out.

I couldn't find a replay or even a post-game item rundown, what did this person build? what was his keystone?

Found it, checked the game, checked the stats, I couldn't quite make out if he was using Thunderlord's Decree or Fervor which was what I was interested in... I think Fervor.

Abuse Caitlyn and her early game range. She can trade pretty well at range with the current trio ( Corki Ezreal and Lucian ), but you don't want to actively trade with them as they're extremely bursty. Rather sit at range with a poke support (or a peel support Janna being one of the best) and just zone them away from farm.

Except Jhin is OP.

Also, stop attention whoring for each and every champion. Riot knows who has problems and *is trying to fix them.

*not

I just played a jhin in my game. I was a quinn top. Jhin was mid for their team. All I had to do was go bird form then blind him and he was done.

Caitlyn isn't Limited by reload mechanics. Caitlyns headshot is essentially Jhin's 4th bullet, Caitlyn scales better into the late game (in my experience) as Jhin has that locked attack speed.

Caitlyn is an ADC sniper. It's like how Varus is an AD Nidalee, Vayne is an AD Fiora, Jhin is an AD Xerath.

Dem AP Feedora builds doe...

What I meant by that is that Fiora is a tankier bruiser, and not a full ADC anymore.
