I don't know if jhin is really op or not but it doesn't seem very fair to me when he rapid fire cannon 4th shot AAs you for 1000 damage or more (depends on who you are playing).

Before the addition of Stormrazor and this stupid "I am the fast" meme became a reality, I would have said Jhin was fairly balanced, just really strong.

Now though? Phew.

I still don't know if I would go so far as to say he's broken but sometimes it's not fair to fight against him. His counter is supposed to be slows and sustained DPS (like aggressive marksmen/fighters such as Lucian, Yasuo, etc.) but now, because he can purchase a cheap item that gives a huge power spike that essentially allows him to crit on every auto, and stacks insanely well with other burst damage items such as RFC/Shiv? I don't know.

I just really dislike Jhin's current state. He went from a slow moving, methodical sniper type champion to "haha I autoattacked you with an 850 range AA with 100% crit chance, good luck catching me, I am the fast"

I don't have that much issues with the damage. i'm more anoyed that a champ that can contribute from 2 screens away and does shit tons of damage close up has such a massive ms steroid that catching or escapeing him is impossible later on unless you have a dash and instand hard CC Though i guess i wouldn't mind him running that fast if he did less damage...

1000 ad still gets x 1.5 by crit right. So jhin can one shot squishies even with some armor. I really think they need to lessen his passive damage conversion. Late game he has this absurd damage,,and early game he gets immense synergy by doubling up all CC with his root. Im glad hes not played that much now, if he was i would definitely start banning him again.

Ya you gotta watch that fourth shot. Draven can be much worse though, as if he's fed every single hit will do that.

Me and my friend do duo bot alot, we've been through games where the enemy jhin can have double our kills but we will win every teamfight afterwards lol

Like his whole kit is based around the movespeed boost he gets after he attacks someone, literally Fleet footwork on any ADC > Jhin. He has no worth in teamfights, and the Ultimate is just a weak slow that puts him even further back from the teamfight that a team with an ADC needs.

Every teamfight the enemy ADC will do 3-4x more damage than Jhin, and his team's tank will be dead before he even takes our tank to half health (or he outright dies to a flash play)

No, but Stormrazor is getting reworked so it won't have a great synergy with jhin anymore.

He has a reload mechanic and in that time frame can be shut down by someone he may have not bursted down fast enough + his autos all go off at a set time

I mean he does have to reload but I'm not sure that amount of damage isn't overdoing it.

How the fuck is this even a question, how awesomely fun it is to not just be one shit by a well timed and place skillshot, but no, from a rapid fire cannon charged shot 20 mins into the game.

they are since regular adcs like draven can do that all the time with 1.3-1.5-- 2.0 attack speed range with 100% uptime and no 2-3 second reload time.

I had a Jhin rek my bot lane this morning. We drew out the game to late and despite his GA and 800+ AD, we messed up that team and won.

Yeah he is fair. Just check winrates when in doubt. And high elo pick rates
