Is lifesteal good on Jhin?

Just wondering due to his low attack speed, he doesn't seem to do sustained damage, but in the other hand, he deals high "burst"

Is lifesteal good on Jhin?

Lifesteal is a pretty strong stat in general, if you can grab it with little to no trade-offs there's not much point in ignoring it.

Jhin needs to build pretty squish also: so letting any chip-damage stick on Jhin isn't great. You're not going to dodge those mage/rival ADC poke tools forever: and eating one puts you in OHKO territory for assassins that are behind. Having decent sustain is also usually pretty important in a poke-war, which is generally the kind of war you want to be in with Jhin.

thanks, i asked because, with Jhin, if the enemy gets in range, you are already dead. so lifesteal would kinda be useful during lane and useless afterwards.

You may want some lifesteal later on in the game, but it's not really core on him, since he can kite back relatively easily and shouldn't be taking too much damage.

Yes he can use it. He has low attack speed but on hit effects as well as combos he gets the benefits from life steal. I would not rush it as he is a damage base champ.
