Talk:Jhin/@comment-27744611-20160206111928

Gotta say, it's been a while since I've felt so utterly satisfied with a champ. I was excited about his teaser, I was hyped for his gameplay, and I continue to ride that hype in every game I play with him.

With that said, I do think some salient points need to be addressed in a future patch:

a) His lane performance. I was led to believe by the reveal that Jhin would have a hard time laning, due to his slow autoattacks and reload time, resulting in him losing CS to the tower, allowing the enemy to gain the early advantage. That is hardly the case, as his fourth shot is able to last hit from half health and Dancing Grenade can push and score large portions of the wave for him, as well as harass if used correctly. I think that Dancing Grenade needs to have a lower per-kill increase, say, 30%, or have its mana cost increased to make Jhins a little more judicious in its use.

b) His traps. Due to the minor slow and trigger time, I feel that the damage is alright, but that arming time should be increased to 2.5-3 seconds. Jhins that place the traps in front of themselves to escape should not notice the difference, but it would preclude placing the traps right at the enemies' feet, making the player rely more on predicting their paths and preparing accordingly.

c) His ult. While I am biased as hell, I think that the damage needs to stay, as a nerf risks putting Jhin behind other ranged casters. However, the sheer engage potential that the ult brings adds somewhat insane value to Jhin, who can ensure the messy death of a fleeing enemy with a single slow, and use the rest of his shots to bring down potential rescuers. The slow should either be lesser (60%) or rapidly decay over the duration, to make any wayward shot less of a death sentence. If the slow goes untouched, then the ultimate should at least have its cooldown increased by 20-30 seconds since, as I've said, the sheer utility it brings is mind-blowing.

TL;DR: Jhin is an awesome champ, Gypsylord did an outstanding job, but he could use some tweaking to be less oppresive.
