[jhin] dominant since release with consistent play rate

insert lucian, ashe, jinx into the boxes and they see nerfs after few months of dominance. i don't need jhin fan boys to come QQ-ing about balance. he has early game damage over majority of ADCs and several forms of utility for late game. ranged abilities to out trade, move speed, guaranteed crit, incredible scaling and utility for the late game. god forbid any other adc have this sort of treatment and praise

edit; hehe xd

Jhin is one of the only newer champions that Riot got just right. Just because he's not weak or has massive exploitable weakness doesn't mean he's dominant. If anything, I'm glad we have adc that doesn't rely on the whole "spam click and kite" formula. He's also relatively reliant on the competency of his support and timing each one of his shots.

Your second video is also a horrible example of trying to prove Jhin is too strong. Jhin had baron buff, plus AD potion, and was most likely full build, and on top that outleveled Yasuo by 2. The Yasuo outplayed himself. There were also 3 people he was running at, what did you think was going to happen?

im sorry, what does that make him then? the "spam click and kite" was transformed into a 700+ AD scaling ADC that only needs 1 shot to delete squishies, all his abilities scale off of AD, CC (soft and hard), engage, disengage etc. etc. and you're saying that riot got this right? he is reliant on his support but doesn't have to be. which is different compared to kog'maw because he 100% relies on his support to do everything from set up kills to peeling which is his weakness (among other things).

as for the videos i found them hilarious. jhins "weakness" late game is evident, he 1) can't kill tanks as fast as other ADCs 2) doesn't have AS steroid/ isn't reliant on AS. the reason why i find it funny is because ADCs that are meant for the late game (twitch, vayne, tristana, kog'maw) would have never been able to do that (maybe with the exception of vayne) on their own.

for the lucian one is a prime example of nerfing a champion (patch 6.11 lucian nerfs), then nerfing/changing that champions core items leaving the champion in the dust. i think people call it sejuani'd

wasn't he prominent for a while? like for 3-4 months he was priority pick in LCS and solo q. his flavor of the month lasted for like 3 months until they fucked him and his items

He was fotm for months before they reworked him and then he was really strong for a very long time.

in s6 he was fotm for 3-4 months due to the dirty youmoos+black cleaver combo. then they nerfed him, changed armor pen and left him in the dust

Jhin was terrible on release, are you kidding? He's an ADC that can't siege. They made a champion for a role who only exists to take turrets, and they made him unable to attack faster via attack speed. Dumbest idea ever, I have no idea how it got released.

Jhin was trash until they changed his passive to allow his fourth shot to crit towers. So no, he wasn't 'dominant since release'.
