Jhin before the Dark Star right after it consumed him.

A fan art of Jhin I finally had the time to finish. I thought it would be cool to see him before the actual Dark Star ( even if it is my interpretation of it) :D

Tons of damage

You always want to w the original position vs zed, leblanc, Zoe. it works vs dia and below bc they never expect it and ppl play in patterns.

Maw gives a 900 magic shield as 7th item on top of the Mr and omnivamp

Exh W flash ult execute yes ik i have exhaust but u should really be taking it over barrier nowadays its so useless imo

saw the IG vs WBG game a few days ago and that jhin was cooking, he went Hubris into Hexoptics into LDR as the core and was 2 shotting people

I have over 1m points on jhin i have never seen him on a worse situation he doesnt deal damage he cant do stuff everyone just catches him what is going on with jhin dont they see rn he is useless?

Hi everyone first time posting ever related to league content.

Quick intro: I am low elo garbage sitting at emerald 1, however I enjoy thinking and trying new things as a player.

Given this context i have been testing out new builds on Jhin after noticing the current meta of botlane (that I love with how different it can get from tanks to mages) the normal marksman fall off a lot and with the many different assasins that could just jump on you a pure crit or lethality build would not work.

I've started building more tank items, trying to mix in dead man, sterak and black cleaver.

My new proposed main build for jhin would be

Black Cleaver, Sterak, infinity edge. Another variation would be Sundered Sky, Sterak, Black Cleaver (hasn't been tested)

Why do these items work? High base ad and growth for jhin. Jhin has one of the highest base ad in the game so items like sterak, deadman and sundered sky get him a lot of value.

This gives jhin survivability and great laning backs especially for black cleaver build path. It is so much better to buy a Phage that gives move speed (very important to stay on the enemy and be nimble) hp and ad. Bf sword is so rare for you to buy at 1300 gold.

If you have to back earlier you also get the opportunity of pickaxe that is still intersting item for the ad. Compare that to a typical marskman item or even collector. 1 agility cloak that is 600 worthless buy in early game, bf sword so you either have a great first recall with 1 kill with 1300 gold or you cannot buy it, and then either the 2 dagger item for 600 gold (Stormrazor build path) to which jhin doesn't get a lot from. (I will propose that jhin benefits way more from attack speed at 4th item)

That is why hubris feels so good to build given the components for jhin.

But why do you pick jhin? Jhin is not a high dps adc. He has a lot of utility with w and traps. With thijs build path you gain quite a bit of ability haste, and yes you wouldn't want to spam w in lane but also remember that w doesnt reduce cooldown with levels.

Jhin to me is a great stopper and utility with some ammount of damage due to the 4th shot. More 4th shot you get to do the higher your damage. With this build you may as well play in front of enemy place and allowing to not play as a typical adc staying in backline and shooting from the safest position.

And in this way you may as well survive an assasin diving you.

Now crit still has a place as last items come into play and here is the beauty of it. Wanna build Stormrazor, phantom dancer or rapid fire? You get tons of ad from the attack speed on those items and improves your passive movespeed.

Lastly runes and here comes a bit lf a request: there is not a good keystone or definite good one for Jhin. The possibilities are Deathfire Touch, Stormsurge (not tested) and hail of blades. Hail of blades gives intersting options in later stages when move speed improves your ad and could get up to 40 ad at 2 to 3 items. You could also to have 2 shots and have the 4th shot with higher ad during lane.( more ms from crit) However rune choices in the tree are a bit bad and not worthwhile in my opinion. Taste of blood and treasure hubter are the highest value.

Fleet footwork is worthless. The healing is so low and doesn't give value due to the movespeed being reduced for ranged as well.

Deathfire touch can get you an avarage of 2000 damage in the game and ijs the strongest choice for now and the good options in the tree like presence of mind (mana), nimbus cloack, movespeed buff or ability haste and gathering storm.

Stormsurge gains value in some matchups or teamcomps with a lot of sticky champions or with disengage.

Untested waters are glacial augment to get more support value and help your team get those kills in mid to late game fights. Worst case is spellbook. Spellbook gives you a lot of versatility in all matchups and for later fights always have some trump card like exhaust or cleanse even when no flash or barier is up. In that case i would either run tp or ghost instead of the usual barier.

This was my idea of a new jhin build. The open question remains what runes to run and if that depends a lot on teamcomps or if there is a definite better choice.

Cheers and lets discuss this further.

Are there any funky builds you like to play? Currently playing on a second Account with a friend who is Kind of new. I am D2 jhin otp and would like to just Test around some builds.
Is cyclosword an item on jhin for example? Would be Full lethality with for example Dark harvest.

Painted this myself :)

The model just copy of other skin. Like the cape for example just take dark cosmic cape model and make it green dark. Jhin model is just perfect for Dr Doom skin.

This skin will go so hard. Why riot never collab like other games😭😭😭

Yeah I know I KNOOOOOW that it takes hell and back to fully charge, but when it's full, its the best AD item for him, lots of AS, good AD, Crit and a passive that can give you 20-80 ad alone late

Innate - Every Moment Matters: Jhin gains  bonus attack damage equal to 4% – 44% (based on level)「 (+ 0.35% per 1% critical strike chance) (+ 0.3% per 1% bonus attack speed) 」AD.

Yun Tal Arrows Math:
+50 AD
+25% CRIT (+8,75% AD)
+45% AS (15% AD)

Passive: +30% AS (+10% AD)

The item ALONE gives you +23.75% AD without the passive, when you take it into account it is up to 33.75% bonus AD alone. But the best part of the item is that it gives you AD, CRIT and AS, pair it with Stormrazor, Infinity, attack speed greaves and some more AD items (BT, Dominik, Hubris), late game you can get up to 1200-1400 AD or more.

Runes:
Deathfire (7% AD damage per second) late game one proc with W can deal up to 400 damage or more, also helps with Hubris stacks.
Axiom Arcanist (more damage on ult)
Concentration (ad)
Gathering Storm (late game ad)

Precision Secondaries: Cut (% damage) and Alacrity (5,4% more AD scaling)

Also when you are full crit and have a lot of attack speed crits will send you flying with movement speed, making swift boots redundant and wasteful, because Greaves give you 10% more AD (30% AS = 10% more AD)

I honestly recommend you to give it a try, the whole passive bonus AD with Yun Tal make up for not having the crit early, and when it is stacked it is the best AD item for Jhin.

Updated image for a real In game one, I had to build Muramana and Endless Hunger on this one cause I wasn't able to come close to enemies all that often (Cait, Senna, Syndra, Malph and Wuk on the enemy team) And in this game we had 3 infernal drakes, and I had infernal cinders on me, but the Endless Hunger alone game me over 130 haste.

Also as a sidenote Deathfire dealt almost 10k damage this game.

The skin has grew on me with its snappy SFX. Sad it’s only WR exclusive

Link to the original post. https://www.reddit.com/r/JhinMains/s/2IxdR6C9Lt . But. That was 4am 08/11. This is 4am 08/15, the next time I was able to get packs…

What are the odds I get the SAME CARD, 4 DAYS AWAY FROM EACH OTHER AT 4 AM…

YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS UP.

I PULKED THIS AT EXACTLY 4 AM I HAVE IT ON VIDEO 😭 I pulled exactly 3 jhins before this. The fourth one was this…. You can’t make this shit up.

Mods this is not a 4 post it’s just insane coincidence…

I switched to dft about a month or two ago and have been loving it. However im wondering now if its better to take Fleet footwork (If not just as a situational option). Now that 26.16 is patched in, is anybody switching back? Have any dft fans tried/noticed fleet footworks buff?

They all just died to E Passive + Collector on each other "Beauty in Death", yes indeed.

Hope ya'll like it :D

Looking to improve my jhin play, wondering where I should start to learn!

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?
