Hi, I appreciate perfection, thanks 4 the comment!

1: Dark Harvest + Sorcery isn’t terrible, but it’s not optimal. It delays your powerspikes, it’s greedy, and less consistent than the standard build.

2: If your team fed a lot, you can do your best but the game is probably lost. You have to accept that some games just aren’t winnable. The goal in ranked is to be constantly better and especially less weak than the enemy ADC. ADC is a role where your impact heavily depends on what your team gives you. That’s true for every role, but especially for ADC. For example, maybe your support just roams, your jungler is absent, and your toplaner is winning hard. They’re having a good game, but not around you. In that situation, your job is to perform better than what an ADC of your elo would normally do. That’s how you climb. If you always do a little bit better or at least as good as what’s expected from an ADC at your elo, you’ll slowly but surely climb in ranked.

3: Technically Hubris isn’t a bad idea, but personally I wouldn’t go for it. BT just gives you so much comfort and teamfight power. The lifesteal is incredibly valuable, you can end a teamfight low HP, hit the red buff, and be back to full in 3 shots.

4: Ask me if anything isn’t clear especially in answer 2 haha

Antiwis (3) | September 15, 2025 2:56am
Hi, it’s the same order as the one I put in the items section, if you need more details just let me know.

Is Youmuu better than collector?
1
Antiwis (3) | September 15, 2025 2:25am
Collector > Youmuu in my opinion.
Collector is never a bad choice, even if sometimes Youmuu can be better, it can also really hold you back.

If you really want to go for it, here are 3 necessary conditions to play Youmuu:

1. The enemy team has little to no frontline or tanks.
2. You need extra mobility to roam, chase, or dodge engages.
3. Your team is ahead early and you want to snowball the tempo.

jnnr | July 17, 2025 7:31am
I've seen some players go for youmuu instead of collector's first in the standard build with RFC, IE, LDR. Is this choice any good and when would you go for this build?
1
Antiwis (3) | September 15, 2025 2:22am
Yes, it’s a build that was quite popular a few weeks ago, and it’s still very common in high elo.
It’s clearly a snowball-oriented build; I don’t recommend it, as it’s less enjoyable to play than Collector first item and less consistent.
This build performs poorly below Diamond 2.

Hey, love the guide. I was wondering what your thoughts are on going LDR first instead of RFC? I feel like that gives me more damage earlier so i can scale better. Thank you.
2
Antiwis (3) | July 2, 2025 6:23am
Really good question though, pretty sure it will help a lot of people. Thanks!

Antiwis (3) | July 2, 2025 6:21am
Hey, you are absolutely right. LDR gives you way more damage than RFC, and not just against tanks. It simply does more damage.
But where you are mistaken is thinking that it makes you scale better. RFC actually gives you something way more valuable than damage, which is tempo.

RFC gives you extra range and a massive comfort boost in terms of positioning and mobility. It makes you way stronger during pre-fight phases, which is often where the fight itself is decided, way more than in the raw teamfight. Jhin abuses that extra range so well with his fourth shot. That comfort is worth more than any extra damage LDR can offer.
It is simply better to delete a Xerath hiding in the back than to deal more damage to a Leona standing in front.

Let me know if that is unclear. It is something a lot of ADC players do not fully realize. Raw damage is not always the holy grail. Some items offer unique value that is even more precious, and that is exactly what RFC does, especially on Jhin.

In the end, going LDR third after Collector and IE is still a good option, but only in certain games. During the game, just try to identify what the real threats are. If there is a giga-fed tank, go LDR. If there are three tanks, or let’s say even two and a half, then LDR is fine. But otherwise, I recommend going RFC in 80 percent of games.

Verkonex | June 28, 2025 12:17pm
In my opinion, its best to go collector first it gives you 50 ad and lethality + execute on passive which also grants 25 gold to scale. Ldr might also be good into a lot of tanky ppl on botlane(jgl,adc,supp) but it didnt happend to me. ps. im not the best player there is maybe the autor will tell you more
2
johngo | June 29, 2025 11:11pm
Yes, you do go collector first. What I meant was after collector and infinity edge as third item would ldr be better than rfc but thank you for taking the time to answer. :)

Any advice on what to do when you are outscaled?
1
Antiwis (3) | June 10, 2025 9:43am
Do you mean ADC champions who scale better than Jhin?
Or games where you fall behind and get outpaced, regardless of the enemy ADC?
2
Verkonex | June 10, 2025 1:01pm
the ones when you fall behind

Thoughts on jhin top? I believe it is one of the stronger ranged top picks. Insane scaling, potential to turtle elders even if your team is locked in

Aery, outscales comet due to proc time, (axiom, celerity, scorch), Precision (coup/cut down, presence of mind)

Collector, edge of night (mostly)/sundered sky, mortal/ldr, ie, bloodmail/merc scimitar/random situational, can slot deadmans plate over boots

The aery tick with collector feels incredible. W start always

Antiwis (3) | June 1, 2025 8:01pm
I never seriously tried Jhin top, just a few times for fun playing with low elo friends. Honestly you seem to know more about it than I do. I can recommend this player I’ve run into quite a few times in game, his stats are pretty mid but he gets the job done.

ChrisH811 | June 21, 2025 7:55pm
<3 the lane bully makes sooo many top lane matchups unplayable for the enemy. wr is much lower than it should be, stg am terrorized T_T im not league jesus, but ik it is a viable af pick:) been playing jhin mid moreso as the lane is much easiest to freeze and bully, but top is definitely good too

What is your opinion on immortal shieldbow vs assasins or someone who can easiely kill you?
1
Antiwis (3) | May 12, 2025 10:40am
I never build it on Jhin. I recommend GA or BT instead, as they are good defensive items against AD assassins.

Hello there, i have one simple question, is it okay to go ghost and flash?
1
Antiwis (3) | May 9, 2025 10:33am
Hey man, it's really old school to play Ghost on ADCs
Actually there were several nerfs and adjustments about a year ago because Riot did not want Ghost to become a summoner spell for ADCs and wanted it to remain a spell for bruisers
Anyway I would not recommend it it's really uncommon nowadays and personally I do not really like playing it it's less impactful than Barrier or Cleanse
But honestly if you're very comfortable with it and feel better and more confident using Ghost then go for it

ChrisH811 | June 1, 2025 12:30pm
ghost to provide spacing so jhin can dps is huge though still

As of this patch or so they've buffed the Dark Harvest damage a not insignificant amount, even so is FF still a better rune setup?
1
Antiwis (3) | February 12, 2025 1:06am
Absolutely, Dark Harvest was buffed in 14.03: 20 (+9 per soul) ⇒ 30 (+11 per soul) (same ratio).

Leading up to patch 14.03, I also thought there would be a power shift between the two runes, but the numbers show that this hasn’t been the case. The buff isn’t enough, but it sets the stage for Dark Harvest to make a comeback in the coming weeks.

What are your thoughts on hubris? you ever use it? what do you build with it if you do?
2
Antiwis (3) | January 28, 2025 2:12pm
Currently, Jhin is played with a crit build, and Hubris can be a decent option in a lethality build. However, since that's not the current optimal way to play Jhin, I don't recommend the item at all!

Main issues :
Hubris is designed to be purchased early, but it doesn't provide crit, which is essential for Jhin to snowball. Additionally, it offers ability haste, which is completely useless for Jhin.

YayJohn (1) | February 2, 2025 10:23am
I see, I thought so aswell from my games using it, It's just that sometimes it feels like such a waste not to buy it when I know I'm gonna get fed xd
