Jhins ult is honestly broken imo.

its a massive, high range, high damage, giant slow machine. Why does it need that big of a slow?

Damage is damn pathetic if your above 80% HP, has quite a narrow hitbox, tanks can block it for you.

Thats not true. If you're not hitting a tank, jhins first 3 shots do massive damage

Which honestly isn't surprising. He freaking hurts.

Executes arent supposed to do damage unless you're low.

You know garens ult?

Ralanr6 votes

Are you forgetting the flat damage on them?

Executes do more damage the lower your health is. They do damage regardless.

Executes arent supposed to do damage if you're full health.

If you are a gamer you know this.

"Jhin sets up and channels, enabling him to fire 4 super shots at extreme range in a cone in front of him. The shots stop on the first champion hit, slowing it by 80% for 0.75 seconds and dealing 40/100/160 (+20% Attack Damage) physical damage, increased by 2.5% for each 1% health the target is missing (up to 0 (+0)). The 4th shot crits for [0]% damage."

See the base damage? See how it increases based on missing health? It does more damage the lower your health is, but it still does damage at full health.

I'm not arguing that it isn't an execute. I'm arguing that even an execute has base damage.

And considering just how much AD Jhin can get from building crit, AS, and normal AD, the damage scaling is low because the number it's scaling with is expected to be high.

But sure. We're done.

So to put this math into perspective, let's say you have 900 ad. 20% of 900 is 180. The 160 base damage plus 180 is 340. Plus the fourth shot crit. Assuming you have an I.E. Your fourth shot will deal 850 damage. 50 less than your base AD, and that is a crit without Jihn's crit penalty. And don't forget, if you didn't have an IE you would of dealt 680 damage. Basically, this only does that damage when you are at really late game.

Because there are a lot of dashes in league. So it says "fuck you" to anyone that can't dash.

If I would be complaining about anything on Jhin, it would be his Mini-Garen ult every fourth hit.

Astôlfo1 votes

The difference being unlike Garen, he's not tanky at all. And unlike just about any other ADC, he has a reload system after 4 autos (Graves being the only other one, except he's garbage in botlane), which has a static 2.5 second reload time he can't avoid if he wants to fire said fourth shot, nor can he reload faster with any skills (like Graves can), and his attack speed is locked to only per-level gain meaning within the time it takes to auto 4 times, other ADCs could have riddled him full of holes.

Yes, Jhin is an ADC, but is more like a long range AD caster/mage (Xerath-ish).

Keepe2 votes

There are more factors at play, but what I am saying here is that I fail to understand why his ult is an issue. It's harder to aim than it looks, and there is plenty of counterplay to it. IE, moving.

We can go into whether or not the Mini-Garen ult is a problem at another point, and I am sure we'll be at each other's throats soon enough. =P

Astôlfo1 votes

Yeah.

TyrekGoldenspear2 votes

Okay two things.

  1. If it didn't slow, there would be like 0 ways for Jhin to hit the rest.

  2. It's only high damage when you're low. Him hitting you with all four shouldn't kill you unless you're a squishy.

I remember yesterday with the armor pen build, a jhins 4th bullet hit me for like 860. I was a full health caitlyn

It's an execute.

You're also Caitlyn who is known for being squishy.

Executes arent supposed to be able to nearly 1 shot anyone.

Thats like trying to justify veigar pressing R and 1 shotting you from full health.

It has % missing health for a reason

Ralanr5 votes

I've seen a Veigar press R and blow up a full health ADC. The damage alone is enough to kill someone with little health and resistances.

So yeah, it's an execute but that doesn't stop the flat damage being enough to kill someone outright with flat damage alone.

If your total health was more than 860 and he one shot you for 860, then there would be a problem.

Astôlfo1 votes

Actually, even in lategame, if you assume Veigar has 1000 AP, his ultimate does only 1025 damage to a full health target before calculating resistances/MPen, meaning it can't oneshot a squishy. If you assumed a squishy had 1400 lategame, that takes over 1400 AP to oneshot at full health if Veigar's ult did true damage, except resistances will always reduce it a great deal even if one gets MPen.

So the only way for it to oneshot a full health target is if they're SEVERELY behind or if Veigar is EXTREMELY ridiculously ahead.

But yeah. Other points are right, just wanted to point this out.

Pretty sure every damaging skill in the game has to have a base damage otherwise hitting someone for 0 with an ult would be weird?

Idiot.

It's either one or the other.

You don't seem to get why a Jhin that's approaching 1000 AD (which is what he needs to be dealing that much damage to a full health champion) should be able deal 800+ damage to a squishy character not building any defensive items with the last shot of his ult, but I'm the idiot. Okay.

Astôlfo1 votes

I mean. With 900-950 AD (which is decently easy by lategame with full crit build + a few dragons, and then elder and/or Baron optionally), just a regular auto would do massive damage, let alone a crit.

Don't bother arguing with it. It doesn't understand reason or logic obviously.

Astôlfo4 votes

So what? He has massive flat armorpen and the last is a guaranteed crit. And for him to do that much to full health means he had a ton of items, aka he is being a lategame carry like he's supposed to be.

An execute isnt supposed to nearly 1 shot you.

Im not stating opinions im stating facts.

You must be new to gaming.

Astôlfo1 votes

It doesn't nearly oneshot you. And no, the only thing you've been stating so far is whining and ad hom and dismissing others' arguments. You must be new to debating.

Ill say this for the 20th-30th time directly only to you as i do in every other thread that you fuckin hop in

Not every person who wants to bring up a champion balance is

''bitching''

''whining''

''complaining''

Maybe you need some respect inserted back in your brain because i respected your posts when you seemed like an actual person.

You are the last person to talk about respecting others, especially after calling people 'retards' and 'idiots' because they know more than you.

Im pretty sure someone is ''retarded'' and an idiot if they argue just for the sake of arguing. You on the other hand tell everyone stop bitching

Astôlfo3 votes

Uh, I think you should look up what respect means again. Even if you 'think' someone is supposedly 'retarded'/'an idiot', respect means not saying that to their face. Your insults also amount to jackshit in regards to actually contributing anything meaningful to the debate. But then again, you have no actual points, so that's basically the only thing you have to supplement your complaints with, I guess.

Stop telling people to stop bitching because they want to talk about balance.

?

And you tell people to get good and stop bitching and l2 counterplay when you're like fuckin silver 5?

Astôlfo1 votes

Here, I'll word it better.

Stop talking about respect to other people when you have none yourself.

Also, on another note, do us all a favor and stop with the strawmen, ad hom, and other fallacies.

First of all, you really shouldn't be pulling the rank card as a Silver 3. Second of all, the rank card is meaningless and is not an actual argument. Third of all, all that means is that a B4 knows more than you.
