Jhin's late game

lf egirl waifu··1 votes·1,949 views

As a PBE tester, I played Jhin a bit in PBE. I thought that he was pretty broken late game and I hoped that Riot would have balanced it a bit when they release him. However, lo and behold, they didn't. He still has the ability to get nearly 800 ad at full build. This, combined with a stun and a fourth shot thats guaranteed to crit, means that once Jhin gets his items, he doesn't even need to use all four shots because of his high crit chance from items. Even at only 2 or 3 crit/attack speed items and 1 dmg item, he can have at least a 50+ ad lead on the enemy adc. This means he can still be able to fight the enemy adc even if he's behind. I've seen games where a Jhin loses lane hard but still come back because of his passive and items. I think that Riot should at least nerf the percentage ratios a bit so his mid to late game doesn't become way too powerful to a point that nobody can 1v1 him.

*This is just my opinion. If you think he's balanced then I don't really care. I'm just saying this to point out something that I think is fairly overpowered and needs a fix. Feel free to add your own opinions in the comments.

All jhins I had fed hardcore and lost their team the match or got hypercarried. Maybe its just a yasuothing, people need to get used to him before destroying everything. But till now I feel like he is honestly shit.

Jhin is strong at every stage of the game. He has the range to poke you out of lane and he only gets stronger as he gets items. I have been seeing guys with less than 10 games on him hard carry games. He needs a major nerf for sure.

No he has his counter play. This is just a combination of really bad people playing a skill based champ and people not knowing how to play against him. It creates people like me who do extremely well with him, and then there are the ones the feed hardcore because Jhin actually enforces how you are supposed to play an ADC.

If you know how to properly position as an ADC, Jhin has very little counterplay. He will be pick/ban at the pro level until he gets nerfed.

Played against him twice so far, the first time I was laning against him mid, his level 2 was decent but after that he didn't really do much, though I did sort of crush him during the laning phase. The second time he was bot as an ADC, didn't really seem like he had much of an impact and when he lane swapped with the veigar I was facing in mid he didn't really seem to do much either.

I played vs an Ekko, Malphite, Kindred, Lucian, Annie and got absolutely murdered with seemingly zero counterplay as Jhin and endless towerdives. He has huge weaknesses for what he offers and his abilities are very telegraphed. Even his traps are like "hey bro, this is a trap, move your dipshit ass out of here", unlike Cait's or Teemo's.
