Is Jhin going to get any compensation for new runes?

Jhin's winrate fell by at least 2% since Runes Reforged went live. He lost Doran's Ring (because Fleet is terrible), Warlord's sustain (again, Fleet is terrible) and 14 lethality from reds (which were the only thing giving his rank 1 Curtain Call at 6 some power).

He doesn't have a "I love this" keystone. He has only "I guess I'll take this" in Aery and Electrocute. And I expect Aery (100%) and Electrocute to eventually get nerfed. And no, both Fleet Footwork (the meme AS Jhin build is fun, but no) and Arcane Comet are both terrible for Jhin.

r/Jhinmains was in alert mode ever since Dark Harvest was nerfed before it went live.

Jhin is (minus 7.12-7.14 and 7.21) bottom 5 ADC since patch 7.5 (when item 3153 became broken). During that time (from 7.5 to 7.21), champions like Vayne Lucian Ezreal were considered "the trash" at some point.

Even during Ardent meta, his winrate was hovering around-below 49%. And that doesn't describe how terrible it felt to play against a combo of Tristana TwitchKogMaw Xayah Janna Soraka Lulu Sona nearly every single game.

I am not even a Jhin onetrick (unlike certain people on r/Jhinmains), just a Jhin main.

All I am going to say is Fleet is most definitely not a terrible rune. I don't play Jhin, but it's a very safe ADC rune for who I play.

Jhin's winrate tanked because people are still taking Fleet Footwork. His builds with Meteor / Precision have a nearly 52% winrate and Aery / Precision is almost at 55%. He's fine.

Aery is good his winrate with that keystone is pretty good. All is fine
