Champion Reveal: Jhin, the Virtuoso

I always get excited with a new champion reveal. Let's go over Jhin's kit.

Passive- Whisper: Jihn doesn't gain Attack Speed or Crit Chance through items. These bonuses are transferred. Attack Speed Buffs- Instead grant Jihn Attack Damage. Crit Chance Buffs- Hive him Movement Speed after an attack.

Q- Dancing Grenade: Jihn targets an enemy with a grenade, which bounces to nearby enemies. It gains damage each bounce if a target is killed. (Best utilized against a wave of weak minions)

W- Deadly Flourish Passive- Jihn's basic attacks, ally basic attacks, and Jihn's "E" mark enemies. Active- Jihn deals damage in a line, stopping at first enemy champion. If champion is marked, champion is rooted.

E- Captive Audience Jihn places a trap that creates a large slow zone, and explodes after a duration dealing damage, and marking enemies.

Ultimate- Curtain Call Jihn reveals marked targets in a large area, and fires 4 long ranged shots. The last shot deals massive damage and always crits.

Okay- so is anyone else noting how OP and easy this champ is. He's guaranteed to have high damage output from his passive, and high wave clear from his W and Q. If his W and Q are used respectively, any enemy champions at the end are pretty much screwed from massive damage output, that's simple to use. This champion is too easy to use, with built in massive damage, and high peel after each massive attack. We're about to get trolled by Jihn players...

as a jhin main i still say he's hard to pull off and easily countered

When you look at a kit without numbers, it's kind of hard to judge whether or not it's OP.

Old Karma's kit on paper was extremely strong, but when played it seemed to be rather lackluster and weak. (To a good amount of people anyways, not that I personally agree).

Numbers are going to decide whether or not his kit is strong at this point, and a lack of immobility should be notable in his kit. The amount of speed he gets from his W/Deadly Flourish will show whether or not it makes up for it.

His kit looks like it will potent, although it seems he has to stand still for his ult.

Seems like he'd straight up die in a duel to be honest, unless fed enough to oneshot/twoshot+Q people.

MS speed only on 4th AA(and no way to get more AS) Both slows require setup. Can't run, have to aa in melee yet can't get good as?

I'd honestly see him more as a midlaner than adc(which'd be funny because he seems he'd get crushed by zed's kit)

If Im reading it right, he can't build attack speed OR crit chance. but he has a guaranteed crit every 4th attack, that deals reduced crit damage, but bonus damage based on missing health.

Crit chance= More AD Attack Speed= More AD

Depending on those ratios, this passive could be super awesome, or super weak, as well as OP as anything.

He deals high damage per hit, yes, but his actual dps suffers a lot from his very slow attack speed.
