Going to start banning Jhin, if Riot cannot deal with him.

seems rather unbalanced at the moment. He is able to hold onto his last shot for a very long time which almost always results in a favorable trade. He is pretty much a superior version of in almost every way. I do not understand why you would ever pick now. His early game is damage is really obnoxious as well.

Why does he also get an MS boost. I thought the idea with Jhin was that he was supposed to have no natural mobility, like ?

I have been forced to keep banning him in games because he is so obnoxious damage wise.

Cait has better sieging with traps. Much better. She attacks way fast, and multiple targets.

Those 2 reasons alone make her a better pick. Then again, its all about talking team comps, and who both champions are playing against.

Caitlyn is better for sustained spread out damage. jhin is burst damage and executions. Jhin doesnt dash or blink, so he doesnt really have mobility. Jhin's increased movement speed is equivalent to Ashe's movement slows. They dont have high mobility but they give themselves a way to keep at range or kite. Caitlyn has a dash and two different access to snares. Jinx falls in the same area as jhin who gets movement boosts, but she has no mobility.

While I disagree with the comparison to Caitlyn, I do think Jhin is both overturned at the moment and one of the messiest kits Riot has ever designed. He rivals Yasuo in terms of his kit just having random extra stuff thrown in.

When people think Jhin's still a problem. BWAHAHAHAHAHA.

He can only hold onto his fourth because he can't CS for shit without spending it. At which point they immediately punish him while he tries to run and reload for 2.5 seconds.

Jhin and Cait are nothing alike. And he has the MS because the only peel he has otherwise is hoping either he can auto and root them before they just kill him or hoping they step on a pre-planted trap, because arm times make traps unviable to use while running outside choke points.

It also rewards him for actually building crit instead of his dumb armorpen build, as well as the fact he has and will always only have 4 shots before being forced into a 2.5s static reload.
