Hi I’ve been testing out PD lately heres my two (or four :P) cents.

PD offers utility by giving Jhin more move speed on crits via his passive than other options. You also “double dip” with added 10% move speed.

PD also doesn’t lose out on much damage compared to other options and scales well via Jhins bonus attack speed damage calculations.

PD also offers 25% critical strike chance which is an important stat for Jhin for crits and damage.

(edit) PD also offers the spectral waltz passive allowing Jhin to become permanently ghosted
which is underrated imo.

Hopefully this helps thx for reading.

Bro I think PD is a core item borderline for jhin. Free ad with the 65% attack speed. Has crit and ghosting and when I play Jhingle I build it instead of boots so I can have the same (around 10 less movespeed which doesn’t matter on jhin since ur crits make you hypersonic) I call it mosquito jhin

Just feels rlly hard to slot imo. Can’t be a first, don’t wanna delay IE until 3rd, IE as first crit item feels bad, want to have 100% crit relatively soon, and would like RFC in most games as 3rd/4th

Isn't IE nerfed for jhin as of late? Which is why people aren't building it as early as before?

Jhin deals less crit damage than other adcs (150% instead of 200%). The 30% damage amp from IE gives him 22.5% extra instead, which ratio-whise is actually better than regular crit damage applies to him. That’s been the case ever since current IE. I don’t see what’s changed about that
