OK as much as I love PROJECT Jhin...

...and don't get me wrong, the skin is absolutely gorgeous and I really want to get it, but now looking back this is Jhin's third skin he has gotten this year alone!

And I thought Master Yi getting Cosmic and Eternal Sword in the same year was bad, this is just ridiculous now! Granted one of skins Jhin has is Esports related and so it's legacy, fine fair point, but nevertheless he's still getting Yi's treatment of "oh an extra skin this year over everyone else".

Look I like Jhin, he's one of the few ADC's I really love to play hell one of the few champs in League that I love to play, but as much as I want to have him get a PROJECT skin, I feel it's a bit much to be pushing out three whole skins for one champ in the same year, even if one of those is Esports related.

Seriously, most champs after Jhin up to say haven't gotten a new skin yet, hell is just now getting a public vote done for her next skin and she was released before him!

World Championship Skins don’t count for skin count.

Should have been Project Quinn instead of fucking Jhin

Bullshit on the "worlds skins dont count!"

If it adds a skin to their list of available skins to purchase, it counts. It being a worlds skin doesn't magically exclude it.

Wait, something just occurred to me. This is also 's 2nd skin this year. Her Warring Kingdom skin came out this year too.

I stopped even caring.

I will just stop spending on things that aren't related to my main and call it a day.

Jhin shouldn't have gotten the skin. Period.

There are so many better and more fair candidates.

Shen and Diana honestly should've received PROJECT skins.

Shen would like to have a talk with Riot.... A looong talk.

Simple reason: Popularity.

Now, that doesn't mean less popular champions deserve to die off in terms of creativity with 1 measly skin in two years but think of the thematic. Project skin line fits him well, not Taliyah (for example). SO why hold his Project thematic for who knows how long because people think he had enough skins for this year?

Skins and skin themes don't grow on trees. Riot has a crapton of them floating around but exploration and ideation into many of them is discarded until there's just the right fit for the right champion. Jhin's could very well fit the theme of Project skins and Riot had a perfect match for him, with the Project: Hunters already. So why hold him off for a year?

Still waiting for Star Guardian Urgot.

I honestly don't care who gets a skin. If it isn't MissFortune , then it kind of just blows right over me. I mean, it is kind of ridiculous that he is getting 3 skins in total, 2 if you don't want to count the worlds skin.

(I do because it is a high quality skin compared to other skins)

I'm just here waiting for a tahm kench skin :/

Dont forget swain. Riot is reworking him so we have hope of a future skin. But its still been 5 and a half years.
