Is Jhin the worst ADC in the whole game?

He has no escape. No wave clear. Extreme weakness between reloads. And he cannot damage tanks.

So what the fuck am I actually doing wrong if he's not the worst ADC in the game??

No wave clear? Are you sure you're playing Jhin?

This certainly isn't the best meta for him but he's far from a bad ADC. He's been exceptionally good when the meta favors him.

High single-target damage to squishies, good long-range damage, traps are good for early warning, and he runs damned fast.

He also has a decent amount of wave clear between his Q, W, and E. More than the average ADC.

  • No escape: His MS buffs are his escape, as well as the slow on his traps and his W. You can also build item 3142 to give you a bit of MS if there isn't anything for you to attack, both to engage and escape.

  • No wave clear: What do you think his Q and E are for? Those 2 abilities can take out at least half a wave, sometimes and entire one, if used properly.

  • Weakness between reloads: That's the point. His reloads are his weakness.

  • Can't hurt tanks: Not sure where people get this from, honestly. Never had a problem against tanks as Jhin. Alone? Maybe, but even then, why are you 1v1ing a tank?

No wave clear. Excuse me? his q can hit 4 minions, his traps have a decent AoE, and his w can hit the whole wave when timed well.

If you're a tank and below 50% HP you should be fucking scared of him lmao

All I can do to clear a wave is Q and E, and it only clears like half the wave. If I get close enough to auto creeps off the tower, I get dove and killed instantly.

Yes, I cannot hurt tanks. Fighting with my team, I pump 3 bullets into the tank, he loses 1/3 his hp, then the 4th shot doesn't do much on who I use it on, then I die instantly cuz I'm reloading.

Jhin plays differently from the conventional adc, hes got good enough wave clear, watch some high elo players play him in lane, he doesn't have a dash but he has a decent range auto with firecannon and a root on his w, he does less damage to tanks which is a tradeoff to his increased damage against squishies, if you are out of shots and someone wants to come and kill you you can always q into w if you are mindful of when to and when not to use your abilities
