You've seen the memes. You know what he can do. Avoid at all costs.
Draven
Draven is notorious for dealing disgusting amounts of raw damage. He will out-compete you with damage even with Jhin's fourth shot, and he has more mobility than Jhin. Allow your support lock him down, or call for a gank.
Zed
The unholy offspring of shadows and death itself. His ult is practically designed to shutdown Jhin. If he is fed, BRING STOPWATCH. Hide and pray he does not find you.
Blitzcrank
If you get hooked, you are most likely dead; even if you have flash, his knock-up can lock you down. Play safe around minions, and his long Q-cooldown time.
Ashe
Ashe is a strong counter to Jhin. Do not underestimate her capabilities. She as exceptional range, and slows with every shot & ability. Her ultimate can stop Jhin's ultimate, and is often used in close-quarters despite being global. Be weary in the laning phases, and avoid 1v1s if she is fed. Stick with your team and focus her as she is a single-target ADC.
Jhin
You are your worst enemy.
Lucian
Lucian is a hard counter to Jhin. His ultimate can be utilized while he's moving, so watch out as he may try to kite you. His damaging skills have long range and are mostly skill shots, so awareness and excellent dodging skills are vital.
Watch out for his Q in the lane as it can pass through minions for a more extended range, try to stay to the side of the minions.
Attempt to stay on the same side of the creep wave as Lucian, e.g. if he stands to the left, stand to the left. This will give him a much harder time with harassing you using Piercing Light.
Miss Fortune
Miss Fortune is an annoying ADC to play against as Jhin. Avoid trading with Miss Fortune for an extended amount of time, as she will do more damage with her Impure Shots with every auto attack.
Keep in mind that bounce of Double Up will prioritize champions affected by Impure Shots so try not to let Miss Fortune attack you before she uses it.
Try to keep her passive down by doing short, frequent pokes and harassments. Miss Fortune is very vulnerable when she is channelling her ultimate. Either focus her or disable (stun/silence/knock-up/displacement) her.
Caitlyn
Caitlyn is a nuisance but matches evenly with Jhin. Stay behind minions so her Piltover Peacemaker will do less damage. Her net can be interrupted by an instant stun, knock-up, or a displacement ability. Her Yordle Snap Trap (W) takes time to set up after placed. Most likely, you will win gunfights because of the sheer damage Jhin can unload.
Varus
Varus has no escape abilities so focusing him in team fights tends to be easy. Dodge his Piercing Arrow at any cost when he has stacked 3 blight on you, as it will do an incredibly high damage. If he has dark harvest, play extra safe at low health. Stay clear of Varus's ultimate because it can spread.
Xayah
Xayah is very squishy like most ADCs, and is relatively easy to focus in teamfights. Don't waste abilities while she is ulting, and dodge her feathers; she can stun if she collects three feathers.
Bard
Don't ban bard so the enemy team can pick him and you can collect your free win. If the Bard is competent then avoid groups of minions, and don't travel through his magical journey without vision.
Lux
The double stun combo with Lux's Q and Jhin's W is beyond deadly. If both champions run Dark Harvest, you have a higher chance of winning lane because of the truckloads of damage.
Veigar
Just like Lux, Veigar's cage and Jhin's W can stun the enemy for 2-3.5 seconds. Veigar is a strong mage support and can carry the game if you do bad because of Veigar's stacking.
Blitzcrank
Since Jhin has a set attack speed, supports like Blitzcrank and Leona have to time their combos with the amount of shots that remains in his combo. Nothing like landing a Blitzcrank pull while reloading. Of course you have to make due with your mana abilities during that time but just something to think about. Coordinating grabs with Jhin's E is pretty essential as well.
Thresh
Thresh's combo offers some leeway to chain CC compared to the quickness of Blitzcrank. Morgana, Zilean and Nami provide some nice zoning and with good timing of W, can start to chain CC as well. Thresh support is best support IMO.
