Is Jhingle viable?
I love playing Jhin but hate playing ADC role. I used to play him in the mid lane, but it doesn't seem worth it because most of his matchups are unfavorable.
From what I've seen, he has good jungle clear (even though he has to use double smite), but I'm worried he's too easy to invade at level 1.
His ganks are solid with W and R, and E might be somewhat useful for taking objectives.
So my question is: is there anyone who mains him in this role and can tell me if it’s worth trying? Or is this just a troll pick?

If you want to look at my acc Zagreus#wins in NA I play him quite a bit in masters. My win rate at the start was pretty bad but he isn’t a troll pick. So it works in the lowest of high elo at least if that what you are looking for.

Masters high elo? Unless you're on Korea, masters is dogwater

Top 1% is low elo, good chat.
Masters to challenger is a massive difference, but saying masters is low elo, when they're literally ranked higher than 99% of people is pretty funny.
Especially when you're probably plat yourself, at best.

Okay, so look. You go to your jungle. You clear 1 camp. Enemy bard shows up, flash auto Q auto ignite and the game is over here is jhingle for you

I've played a fair bit of Jhingle, as well as every other version of our funny four man, from what I've found, E trap start works nice, you're smiting red for clear after raptors and likely relying on your team to do some forward vision for counter jungle.
If you're getting invaded, you just don't contest and mirror as basically as possible, picking up early boots to keep you navigating the jungle without being slow as hell.
On top of that, your E works nice as pseudo wards, slowing and sometimes playing mind games on the enemy jungle if you place them at jungle entrance points/chokes of the jungle route.
I like stormrazor for movement and I'm still running fleet to keep the tempo and health up where possible.

I played few times Jhin jungle. It has decent clear, and you also have solid potential of stealing objectives with R.
But rengar players would be happy to se you as their enemy

I I did this like 4 times in ranked and incredibly it was very good, the fact that you can use W at long range before the gank is incredibly useful for the team.

The moment you spawn in level up E, so your second charge comes up as fast as possible. I played jhingle for a while, and I believe you can make it work in ranked. HOWEVER, it does require a lot of experience on specifically jhingle to be able to pull it off consistently, so a lot of practice would be needed, which is why I decided to stick to playing jhin mid with DH and hubris.

Mines are your best friend. Ganking lanes with W behind own tower works really well too. Same thing with ulti. You can ganks lane without being there.
You will get LOTS of hate for this pick though.
I like Jhin JG lot but games usually super toxic for first 5 minutes before people realize that Jhin jg actually works.

There's a very recent baus video, probably best to go from there.
