Jhin is the most unique and well designed champion ever made!

Not. 4 memes aside Jhin is highly overrated. He is an AD mage with an unusual AA method. That is it. As for his character he is a generic mix of a V, Phantom of the Opera and cereal killer(or I missed something). He is far from unique. Aside from 4 memes he really brings nothing special to the table other than a massively bloated kit.

"Jhin DOESN'T right click you to death like those ez mode marksmen!" Just because he does it in 4 easy to use doses instead of having to orb walk doesn't mean his damage doesn't come from AAs. It does. In fact other than last hitting being hard his AAs allow for more freedom of movement and easier micro while still dealing relatively equal damage.

His kit is SOOOO unique!!!!" Lets look at his kit. Q a bouncing damage... ohh... nobody ever had that before. W a trap that slows then deals damage... such unique. E a long range conditional root... shivering from how special he is. R, a four shot long range skillshot, so... Xerath with a slow.

The only singular unique thing in his kit is his basic attacks are stronger but slower doses. That is it. His interactions between abilities aren't all that unique either. His E is conditional for balance reasons. His executes are executes.

"Jhin was a busted only by Lethality! Stop picking on him!! Lethality didn't bust him, it reinforced that he does too much in his kit with too few tradeoffs. He is more bloated than many of the popular champions to complain about bloat on. Stop perpetuating this, he was a top tier pick with crit build, armor pen build and lethality. Even when Zac and a couple other tanks were all over the rift late S6.

"Most fair ADC?" Why exactly? Because you said so? What makes Jhin so especially fair? He doesn't get dps instead he gets burst. You can dodge his abilities... like most other champions. His damage still comes from unavoidable right clicks.

Jhin is fun, his AA gimmick is cool, character is fun to play. But stop letting him talk you into thinking he is super special. He is just an AD mage who deals AA right click damage slower but better. He isn't permanently well balanced nor is he the best design ever made in a videogame lol.

Now whether this post will reach 44 downvotes or 44 upvotes iunno. Just tired of the cultlike worship of Jhins kit on the boards/reddit.

sigh peace out. Off to actually play the game.

Seriously?

Spamming the exact same message on multiple accounts is not going to make your point more valid.

You're straight up whining about a champion that does well into a champion you play.

Seriously, what an easy way to lose someone's respect.

I disagree. Yes, you can compare single abilities to ones on other champions (like his ult vs xerath), that doesn't mean his kit as a whole isn't unique. As far as over powered, he loses to every adc in a 1 v 1. His kit brings utility and long range to the team with the trade off being he has no mobility. The only over powered thing about him is that he benefits from infernal drake far better than any other champion.

Don't mistake unfair stats with unfair kits.

Jhin being too good right now has all to do with lethalty, his kit is more than fine: he has clear weaknesses and a deadzone, his strenght relies on landing skillshot and open scenarios for his team to do their work and his kit makes him able to build the preferred stat be it AD/Crit or Penetration (which is the real offender rirght now).

Once the emphasys on lethalty will shade you'll see that he is not a problem.

People probably consider Jhin to be incredibly fair because of how his AA's work. Since he has a reload time, he has to (in theory. I'm sure some higher elo player will call me out) be more cautious about farming and harassing. He also can't shoot you when reloading, creating a clear moment of weakness to engage on. Sure he can still cast spells, but that interrupts his reloading and if he can't root you then he's got nothing.

Is he strong? Yeah he's very strong right now. But honestly I'd rather fight a Jhin than any other adc. Even when I'm playing a squishy champion.
