Introduction

Hello there, I'm Kurakowski (DeusArtifex in game) and welcome to my build and guide.

So, they said that the ADCs are dead (and I agree) but i wont let the best boy go!
Alright then, without further ado, to the guide!

Runes

- As said in the notes, attack speed = DMG for Jhin, and if the bonus is 75% at level 1... well, it's quite some DMG in there. Goes really well with any CCs, either your or your supports CCs, and where you go with CCs you take the...

. As I said, goes well with CCs, provides you with some true DMG. Good choice, certainly better than other options for this place, since you don't have anything to proc , and you don't need bonus heal from the .

- it's my personal favourite for this slot. You can go for more vision with or (bleh), but the bonus dmg suits this build and himself well.

- best for the slot in my opinion. Useful if you can use your properly, but could be swapped for if it's not your playstyle.

- now, there comes your survivability. As you have some attack speed runes already so there is no need for and you wont make any use of - 8% of bonus lifesteal is great for you, especially because you don't aim for it in the build (unless vs hard CCs and/or APs where you'd get .

- do i really need to explain why? To put it simple, compared to the other choices for this slot, this gives you the most (and I'll spare you the math). + Jhin has a built in mechanic like this one, so why not make it even stronger?

And that's what I'd go for runes. Could also go for + as the second tree, but i prefer the survivability that the rune set above provides. Anyway, feel free to test on your own, those are just the guidelines, right?

Items

I'm gonna explain core in here

Let's start with the boots. Why ? They enhance your MS that are already boosted by your crits. Allows better kiting/chasing and makes coming back to lane faster.

" and why you rush it?" As said in notes above, unlike other champions has some build in crits without crit chancecause of , so now even with IE not giving you any crits on its own, it has a new great thing going. Aside from +80 AD that it gives, 15% of your GUARANTEED crit that is further boosted by targets missing health is turned into true dmg. How cool is that?

This item kinda was a thing for since the best boy came out. Even with other ADCs leaning more towards , you've still seen most Jhin players with Firecannon. That's your crit and attack speed provider for the rest of the game. It also gives you extended attack range, loads your energized attacks faster (so you'll get it more often than with Statikk) and additional magis DMG that can proc on turrets. Useful for poking and gives more utility than Shiv.

Well, i just kinda found it working on . With its passive: Rage, it goes well with your passive , so it boosts your MS even further. Also its other passive, the most iconic thing for Cleaver, lowers your targets armor with any physical DMG you deal - and this makes your 4th auto attack even better if you throw your and [Deadly Flourish]] before it. Same thing with your ultimate if you'll aim it well.

Laning phase

When you get into your lane after minions have spawned, just push till you get lvl 2 and stop pushing immediately . Watch out for the enemy poke, stay safe and do your best not to lose any farm. Avoid fighting early on and try to poke with your bouncing off minions onto enemies (and mind your mana).
Try not to pick fight yourself if your support can do it for you (, , and similar champs), just follow up with and then go into the fight.

If you have a less aggressive supports (like , ) that ain't so good at catching and isolating your target so easily, keep on poking, and try starting the fight yourself with snare on .

Always pick your fights wisely and help your support keeping vision on lane with and s.

Post laning phase

Remember not to go alone to much. May seem obvious, but really, keep it in mind.

Try to stick to the biggest group, unless you're off farming side-lane (please at least bring your support with ya). Look for good pick to root from afar with your , this ability is your greatest tool out of the laning phase. Well landed, your W can put one key person out of the fight thus winning said fight. And who doesn't love landing those :D In my humble opinion, is one of the reasons that Jhin is still an ok pick.

Farming the side-lanes/split pushing ain't your goal, shin isn't really great at pushing fast, and good picks are mostly worth more for your team than you farming. Of course, if you're behind farming can be your only option but remember to be safe on the side-lanes. Vision is always crucial, and you have it easy with , but also remember to have a good escape route and actually look at the map(again, obvious but keep that in mind).

Oh right! Remember about ! This also can do real stuff, and is not only "the good finisher", you can really make good stuff if you'll use it well after hitting (for example). In other words, use it more, most people don't and waste it's potential. Remember, I picked for a reason, right!? Don't be afraid to use it and you'll begin to feel the right moment for it.
