jhin passive snowballs him too efficiently
especially given that he's one of the most abusive and dominant laning adc's in the game.
it gives him huge extra stats for both gold leads (the AS/crit chance -> AD conversion) and exp leads (2-40% extra AD, scaling with level).
i feel like that base of 2-40% should either be tuned down significantly or removed, and the stat conversion be increased (along with his ability ratios to compensate). that way, jhin would have to farm intelligently and actually keep his GPM up instead of just walking into lane for the express purpose of abusing the enemy ADC.
alternate solution is to not make the base scale with levels, since that's what enables him to snowball off exp leads. a flat 20% bonus AD at all levels sounds pretty good. either that, or make it scale with levels of his ultimate, ie 10% at rank 1 ulti (level 6), 25% at rank 2 (level 11), 40% at rank 3 (level 16%). he'd still snowball off exp leads, but it would be in more predictable spikes rather than a smooth power curve that gives him relevance all game long if he's even or ahead.
if we're going to talk from a thematic standpoint like riot loves to do, jhin should exist for the purpose of putting on dazzling shows and flashes of brilliance, not instilling a steady regime of terror. making him power spike harder on significant item purchases, or giving him significant power spikes in levels of his ult forces players into a decision-making window as well as lulls in power for the enemy team to play around.
the last time i made a thread about jhin passive, i got the most downvotes that i've ever received on a single thread. how about i propose a decent solution this time as opposed to pointing out that jhin's passive is worth about 9000 gold of AD at level 18?
versus any adc both max items and tell me who wins...
