Jhin is overtuned

Hersendood·Jul 8, 2017·4 votes·510 views

Jhin is by far, the most overtuned champion i have ever seen. And what does riot do? They actually decide to buff him. I don't know what is going on in their minds- but their way of balancing a game with around 100 million players is quite stupid. They balance this game around LCS level, this is why there are so many broken champions in this game.

It is so frustrating to see people not agreeing with me, while this champ is really overtuned. There is no way to trade this champion. I am a support main and Jhin is the only cancer i have experienced in the last couple of months.

If you think he's not broken; tell me why? he has EVERYTHING. High burst on 4th shot, long range root, movement speed, slow, engage ( with root ), and 4 Ashe-like ultimates. He is the only champion in this game that can win a lost lane ( sounds crazy i know ) Team fight lost? Just stand under your turret and fire that ult while you are 20 hp.

He doesn't have DPS. He doesn't have mobility. He needs to ramp up to that 4th shot over several auto attacks. He's a good champion, but League deserves good champions.

He isn't though. They have nerfed him in the past along with indirect nerfs because of item nerfs and mastery nerfs, some of which were too much and because of that Caitlyn appeared more often.

That's life, deal with it.

How does Jhin have everything? He is actually garbage at killing tanky targets, his mobility is conditional and still just a speed boost, and he is extremely vulnerable to being engaged on because his only way out is flash. I hope when you listed a slow you didn't mean his traps, they have very marginal usefulness in a teamfight.

His fourth shot has high burst because it is followed by something no other ADC has, a long period where he can't autoattack. Even Graves is capable of forcing a reload or reducing his downtime. His ultimate and Ashe's are just different, her long stun is generally more valuable while the damage on his ultimate can be very good. A lot of champions can come back from a lane they're losing, not sure what point you want to make there.

If you are having issues with Jhin as support you need to abuse his reload more. Do not trade when he is on his third round, that's when he wants to trade. You trade into him when he starts a reload or when he's on his first shot and back off as he nears the fourth. I really like Bard into him, you cancel his ultimate easily and Bard is excellent at short trades in lane. Ashe as an ADC pick is good into him too, if you have to you can basically just cancel his ultimate when he starts it.

Jhin is a good champion, but there are a lot of ways to work around him and plenty of things to pick into him and do really well.

False, ashe brings arguably better damage and utility than jhin. Pretty sure people play Jhin, because he is fun. Also he sucks vs tanks like literally he cant kill them like other adcs, I think he is only good vs full squishy or semi squishy teams, when your ult can pretty much one shot anyone, assuming you hit all shots.

Jhin is by far, the most overtuned champion i have ever seen.

No, he is not. Thresh , Caitlyn , Gnar post buffs (why did they buff him in 7.13 in the first place?), Fiora come to mind when I hear "overtuned champion". Potentially Orianna and Syndra , but that's my personal hate towards those. Also Corki .

And what does riot do? They actually decide to buff him.

Jhin at the time was on 45-46% winrate after Lethality meta ended. His playrate fell drastically as well. Varus (who was the 2nd, and arguably bigger abuser of Lethality among ADCs) was in grand scheme of things untouched, because he started building BoRK instead.

My comment above.

There is no way to trade this champion.

If you are a monkey and try to trade with him when he has his 4th shot, then yeah, your fault. Step back, force him to use it on minions and then go on him when he reloads for 2+ seconds.

I am a support main

Just my curiousity, who do you main?

High burst on 4th shot

Because reload mechanic. Imagine him doing 130 damage with all 4 shots and then reload for 2,5s, being a sitting duck.

long range root, engage (with root)

Super thin hitbox, roots only when attacked by Jhin/Jhin's allies/stepping on his trap.

movement speed

On critical AA or rooting enemy champion. His only way of reliable defence. Unless you have 100% crit, your ability to kite is really unreliable.

and 4 Ashe-like ultimates.

Which they are not. It slows on hit (not stuns), and after the nerfs to the slow duration (0,75s -> 0,5s), you can dodge ultimate shots even after being hit by one.
