I don't really know much about this lane to be honest because I barely come across it. just be better than him lol
Ashe
Make sure you hide behind your minions when her W is up then when she uses it, punish her with a cheeky trade or even kill her. Be careful about ulting if her ult is up - it isn't very pleasant getting shafted by a massive arrow when you're trying snipe her. Other than that, you are probably better.
Caitlyn
Oh no.. she has a lot of auto attack range, what ever should I do? Have no fear, random Jhin user, poke her with your q and shove her under tower. (if she can't lane, she can't game)
Cassiopeia
gotta be honest, this lane is pretty rare... BUT... you should take cleanse and only really take short trades against her (snake lady is a little bit scary)
Draven
WEEELLLCCOOOMME TO THE LLEEEAGGUEEE OOFFF DRAAAAVEEEENNN!!!!! yh just please PLEASE don't feed this axe wielding boi, just farm safely and go to damage him when he's cc'd.
Ezreal
he is a pretty easy lane, just bully him when you can and try to stay behind minions to dodge his q. His E has a long cooldown, so bear that in mind when trading with him
Heimerdinger
he may be a bit annoying, particularly because he tells daddy Jayce in Arcane not to mess around with magic and then he BUILDS MAGIC ITEMS INGAME!!! WHAT A FRICKIN HYPOCRITE!!! just bully him in lane and destroy his turrets and you should be able to beat this little guy
Jinx
you should beat her in lane, just make sure you take short trades and be careful of her root. SHE DOES OUTSCALE YOU THOUGH SO WIN LANE
Kai'Sa
dodge her w, put her behind in the lane phase especially when she goes to farm (because of her short attack range), and you should be fine
Kalista
pretty scary lane, take short trades and i would definitely recommend fleet footwork in this matchup
Kog'Maw
play hyper aggressive in lane and you should beat this frog looking mf
Lucian
be careful, poke with q, and tend to only take short trades
Miss Fortune
this matchup is very skill dependent, i would suggest not standing behind minions, ESPECIALLY LOW HEALTH ONES, because of her q bounce
Senna
another matchup where i would recommend short trades
Sivir
dodge her q, and try to trade with more autos rather than abilities especially if her spell shield is up, since she gets mana back if a spell hits her.
Syndra
play slow and to scale, i would suggest buying mercs and/or hexdrinker
Tristana
this bouncing, annoying, easy-to-play yordle beats you early, mid, and late. i would probably ban her, if not then try to play safe
Twitch
annoying rat which i consider banning but if you play aggressive early you should be able to beat him
Varus
play aggressive and position well. i would suggest swifties to help to dodge his skillshots.
Vayne
play hyper aggressive and shut her down before she can call to her parents for help
Veigar
take cleanse and try to play aggressive, however if cleanse is down and he stuns you in a cage you are probably dead
Xayah
DONT STAND IN FRONT OF THE FEATHERS
Yasuo
try to get an early lead, if you can't get one, then you will probably have to play safe
Zeri
gotta be honest, i dont think that i have faced a zeri
Ziggs
DODGE EVERYTHING AND BULLY THE EXPLOSIV BOI
Alistar
i like this matchup, just follow up with a w when he goes in
Bard
stay near him and follow up his q with your w. When he inevitably roams, just stay safe and poke
Blitzcrank
HOOOOKKKSSS!! get level 2 and slow push or freeze the wave. w after he engages
Brand
THATS A LOTTA DAMAGE!!!! play aggressively with Brand and w after he ults to ensure his ult bounce between them more
Braum
poke an enemy that he has q'd and obviously STAND BEHIND HIM
Galio
I haven't played with a Galio sup but if you W after he goes in and ccs it should be fine
Janna
god i hate this matchup... she does no damage, doesn't engage, doesn't heal, doesn't cc but OOOHHHH SHE CAN SHIELD TURRETS WHOOP DEEE DOOO, idk maybe if the Janna is good it could be alright but generally she stays behind Jhin and he needs a support that's in front of him ideally
Karma
the better janna, basically. Just W after she uses her q or w
Leona
Leona players like to play aggressive early, so I would do that if I were you... SHE HAS CC!!! AND A LOT OF IT TOO!!!! :D
Lulu
not the worst lane partner but definitely not the best, i would play safe and farm in this matchup
Lux
cc chain potential is pretty high, but you are both pretty weak so bear that in mind when going in for a trade or an all in
Morgana
stay close to her and slow push the wave
Nami
W after she uses her Q and wait for her W after you trade so that she heals you before you go in again
Nautilus
CC!!!!! follow up on engages with your W like usual and slow push or freeze waves (this is possibly my favourite synergy)
Pantheon
ahh Pantheon... follow up on his W with a W and you should get a W in the end of the game... you see what I did there... because W is.. .hahahah..haha..ha
Pyke
play aggressively, like VERY aggressively. my friend gets made at me when I don't. this os a very good synergy because of Pyke's engage followed by Jhin's W and your ult will get the enemies low enough for him to ult them
Rakan
this is a fun matchup, if he lands his q then walk up to him since it heals you. When he ults, let him W and then follow that up with your W. Very nice!
Senna
pretty good synergy, play aggressively and W after her W and you're good to go
Sona
meh, if enemy has engage then play safe, if the enemy is weak then you and Sona can poke them
Soraka
pretty similar to Sona
Swain
play aggressively and cc chain
Tahm Kench
I'm not too sure about this one, I would generally play safe and W after he Q's. Not a bad matchup but not great
Taliyah
not experienced this lane but you can follow up on her combo with a W and you should be fine
Taric
try to stun enemies with Taric's E, since it applies on you too and try to hug teammates if you are still connected to him when he's ulting for max efficiency
Thresh
play aggressive and push for level 2 and then slow push or freeze the wave. PAY ATTENTION TO HIS LANTERNS
Vel'Koz
w after he uses his q or e and ult after he uses his ult for a lot of damage
Yuumi
eh, she likes my piano playing... that's a big W in my book. HA GET IT?!?! BOOK! because she rides on a book :D
Zilean
w after he time bombs
Zyra
play aggressive, secure level 2 and cc chain and just do a lot of damage

Hello, I am a Jhin main. I am also Bronze. So should you really be looking at this guide? Yes. Why you ask? I don't know, maybe you want to support a beginner bronze player, maybe you are a Jhin enjoyer who will look at any guide for help, or maybe you just accidentally clicked on this guide - EITHER WAY - I hope you enjoy this guide on the Virtuoso himself... JHIN
Jhin's Abilities
Try not to abuse Jhin's Q in lane as it will use a lot of mana. Ideally use it when there are three low health minions and an enemy near them (BOING BOING BOING BOOM!)
I tend to not use Jhin's W unless there is a chance to engage. (Sometimes you can get some pretty sexy snipe kills with it though and THAT is very very noice indeed)
Jhin's E is best used in bushes, (if the enemy keep going in there like a little *****) next to the river (to avoid getting ganked) etc. It can also be a decent tool for wave clear, or if you're building AP (if you want to watch the world burn), you can oneshot people on a Es stacked on top of eachother.
Ahhh the CURTAIN CALL! This is a very aesthetically pleasing ultimate ability and each shot scales off of enemy's missing health, so if there are a lot of low health enemies grouped together... you know what to do. Since the shots slow enemies as well, it is worth noting that you can use it to help someone else get a kill - your team will thank you.
Quickfire Jhin Tips
Move between autos (AA, move for a bit, then AA again, move for a bit.)
if you buy the blue ward at level 9, you can use it during your ult to get vision on someone and get a clear shot.
Make sure you q and then 4th shot to get the extra damage from the 4th shot.
Always trade in lane with an auto and q.
Conclusion
Oh... you made it to the end of the guide... WELL THEN. Thank you for reading and I hope that this guide has helped you in anyway possible in enjoying the "4 merchant" just a bit more.. if that's even possible I mean look at this guy.. he's PERFECT!
