Actually, I called it laughably broken but I'll have to go back on that statement. It's a bit overpowered, but not as much as I was originally thinking. My only experience with was when I was testing him out to fill in some of the values for his page, but on your standard 5v5 gameplay, he's considerably weaker. He's extremely susceptible to ganks, kites terribly, is heavily reliant on getting in specific situations and positions that a full team of enemies will be actively working to prevent from occuring to his liking. If you have a who can land a hook even somewhat reliably, Jhin is dead the moment he steps half an inch out of line, and his slow attacks and somewhat low range (in comparison to the range of most champions' abilities) only make it harder for him to do what he wants within the time frame he's alloted once the pieces fall into play for him to get a good opening.

Aside from that, he's just a, and with the delay of his traps and his ultimate being so difficult to land reliably, he's quite weak. You have to be insanely good to utilize this guy properly, or your enemies have to make way more mistakes than you do. Think of him like on that front - people say she takes no skill, accuracy, timing etc. because of her lack of targeted abilities and high-range poke and, but if she steps a centimeter too far forward when going for some  (which makes her sound easy, right?), she's dead in an instant when the enemy bot lane capitalizes on her extremely small mistake in positioning, and even her ult can be dodged, missed,  etc.
