@Gypsylord @RiotRepertoir - Enemies Marked by Jhin See No Indicator

NinjaGuy69··3 votes·1,096 views

I mentioned in my last post which discussed Jhin that this guy's one of my favorite champions in the game thus far and has been my favorite new champion release since Lucian; my hat goes off to Jhin's entire team once again (especially the Sound Team, who don't get enough credit). I have been playing Jhin almost exclusively since his release and I've already attained a Level 5 Mastery with him.

As alluded to in the title, I'm fairly certain that enemy champions who are marked by Jhin's Deadly Flourish passive don't see any indicator. I played in an ARAM match last night against a Jhin on the enemy team. However, I didn't receive the snare indicator, nor did I notice it on any of my teammates. Could someone on the Jhin team confirm if this issue actually exists?

If so, I believe that enemy champions who Jhin can snare should receive the same indicator that Jhin sees for clarity purposes. This would be quite beneficial to less experienced people playing against Jhin who he manages to snare, so that they wouldn't be confused as to how they were snared.

Finally, I'm not sure if Repertoir actually worked on Jhin, but I included him in this post anyway just for fun. Jhin

I agree that it would be helpful for gameplay clarity, but for visual clarity, it would need to be small because anytime ANY champion is hit by ANY of Jhin's Allies ANYTIME ANYWHERE on the map, they would have to show that they were marked . . . and that gets annoying/ cluttered. even if you limited it to the range of deadly flourish, the range is huge, and would reveal he was nearby in fog like Fiddle's passive used to. I'd like to know a rioter's thoughts on the subject.

Yeah, it would be ideal if the mark was small, yet still noticeable. It gets to be a bit overwhelming visually to track what debuffs or marks your champion's received when you get hit by multiple spells. Ultimately, I think something should be done from a visual standpoint to let others know that they're marked other than displaying an icon over their inventory box or spells.

Yeah, it would help a lot. I don't have many issues with Jhin , but it gets really annoying when you haven't taken damage for quite a while, and then suddenly get snared.

Just tested this to be sure. The biggest problem with this suggestion is that Jhin's enemies aren't marked unless they're in range of his W. This means that showing the enemy team they're marked would immediately let them know that Jhin is nearby, which I can't imagine is intended. Although the lack of clarity with this move sucks, what's on live seems to be the lesser of two evils.

That could be one of the reasons why they don't get an indicator. They should probably fix it though so that other champions have the same benefit if this was the case. For example, Fiora's Duelist's Dance passive puts vital marks on enemies that are nearby her, so even if you can't see her, you know she's still nearby because the ring that appears around your champion gives her away. It's weird to say the least.
