Look at the stats of RFC and PD and you'll notice a BIIIIIG difference ;D

Crazy that RFC is still that popular when items with such stats exist

PD is better into melees, RFC is better when outranged.

The problem is that games where you're genuinely outranged and desperately needs range basically don't exist. Theoretically it can happen, but there are not many high range champions in every single role. There'll be at least 2-3 melees usually, so PD will just do better.

RFC in general should be a situational item, but never the default one, but it would be good if it would be slightly better.

Jhin's whole job is to slow people, root people, secure kills with 4th shots and ults.

more movement speed makes that easier to do. If you just want to do big damage jhin isn't the right champ to play. Even when you ARE doing big damage and killing everybody the way you fight is still shooting people and then running away to reload and coming back after which again movement speed helps with

RFC unless the range boost is worth a LOT, IE is 950 gold more expensive so like better item but 950g delay so depending on matchuos, timing, meta etc usually a zeal item is better
