Also, IDK if you read everything thoroughly, but I changed the function of his traps ever so slightly. (Y'know, so it makes sense...) They no longer 'wind-down' or explode - and they aren't 'flowers' anymore either.

Instead, they're like a small, thin (260 units X 140 units) piece of champion-created terrain (a marble canvas, if you will), that are intended to resemble a marble slab. I think this really gives his trap something unique - it being terrain that only materializes once the enemy has passed over it. Also, being terrain, it blocks the enemie's escape path, and gives him a chance to snare them with his W and finish them off with Ulti.

Also, these 'slabs' stick around for the next two minutes or so, and killing an enemy near / in-line with a slab traps their corpse inside it - renewing its duration. The idea being that his 'Captive Audience' are all the people he has petrified in this fashion - creating a 'display' of sorts.

Jhin is also rather short ranged on his basic attacks. He could, IMO have an even shorter range to play up his 'sculpting' theme.

Shaco is, whether Riot acknowledges it or not, wearing the thespian Comedy mask. The other, of course, being the Tragedy mask - which Jhin could wear, but doesn't. Instead, Jhin is also wearing a 'smiling mask', so what does that make him? He's not the Tragedy to Shaco's Comedy, clearly.

And then we get to the other thing about Jhin - what is his art? Is he the director off-stage? Or the composer on it? Or the screen-writer watching, as the audience would, his work unfold from the seats? All of the above???

As I said long ago, you can't tell what Jhin's about just by looking at him (not true with Shaco and Sona and most of League's champs). It's only after hearing his myriad of quotes and Riot carry on about how he's an 'artist' and an 'eccentric, sociopathic, creator, obsessed with the number four' that people kinda tune-in and go 'Oh, I get it now'.

Sorry for the rant, I guess you could say I was inspired. *-*
