[2.1] Adv4nced Jhin Guide (Rift Academy #7)

Crit Vs Lethality

Knowing which build to take is simple. It takes on a concept on which Champion does the enemy picks.

If the enemy team had 3 Or more squishy targets go Lethality, if it has 3 or more Tanky targets then it's wise to go for critical chance.

LETHALITY (Pros/Cons)

Pros

- Spikes earlier with cheap items.

- Abilities Benefits with Lethality.

- Flexible Build paths.

Cons 

- No crit = No Mobility in early - Midgame. This requires you to position much better than using crit since this build purchases Crit items much later into the game.

- Terrible when Behind/Risky and needs to snowball. Though it doesn't necessarily need to get kills per minute. But if the enemy ADC starts getting more gold and items than you, you will fall off really hard. Though it's still doable as long as you stay above/even in XP/Gold.

CRIT BUILD (Pros/Cons)

Pros 

- Scales better when ahead.

- Kite god, you're very hard to pin down with all those Crit chances.

- 4th shot hurts a lot with the first item purchase.

Cons

- Expensive Early Items.

- Abilities are weaker compared to lethality.

In this topic will be supports that pairs really great with jhin and my thoughts about them. I'll only list down the absolute S tier for jhin while the rest can be normally played with.

Nami : The best possible support for jhin. Good heals, Movement speed and CC. What more can you want with nami since it covers everything you need. Her Aqua Prison can easily Set up a free Captive Audience and Deadly Flourish that will chunk the enemy down really low or potentially kill them. Her Tidecaller's Blessing is my favorite part about her. Makes kiting and reloading from Whisper much much easier.

Braum : Amazing CC that can surely peel for you with his Unbreakable his Winter's Bite can easily land a free Deadly Flourish for you and can protect you while you're busy Sniping fools with your Curtain Call .

Alistar : If you want go snowball really hard then alistar is you best friend, his entire combo alone can net off a kill or force a flash from the enemy. Although you have to peel for yourself since he doesn't have any sort of protection which is reasonable for his overwhelming offense.

In this section I'll note Jhin's important mechanics and things that you have to keep in mind at all times.

1. Always use Dancing Grenade Before firing your 4th shot : A common mistake that most jhin players do is they just randomly use his Dancing Grenade for no reason at all in certain skirmishes and all in's. Whisper 4th shot scales off missing HP, using your Dancing Grenade to chunk them down lower will significantly higher the damage dealt by your 4th shot.
2. Utilizing Fleet : There's a way to properly use your fleet footwork Movement speed buff to it's fullest extent. That is when you only have 2 Bullets left. Auto attack with your 3rd bullet will apply Fleet Movement speed that will leave you with your 4th shot. Use the movement speed given ny Fleet to run down at the enemy and using 4th shot to poke them. That 4th shot will give another movement speed bonus to run away unscathed at most scenarios when they don't expect it.
3. Use Captive Audience to farm camps: please don't be afraid to farm the camp closest to you especially when your minions are at the enemy tower and have nothing else to do while it shoves back. A good way to use that time to farm extra gold, you may get damaged a little bit but you can heal it with fleet so don't worry about that.

Your Captive Audience has a lots of use you know? Use it.

The red Marks are the pin points on where you apply your Captive Audience this is in the blue team Side.

This the trap Placements for the Opposite side. You can also put a trap on the first brush near the tower when the minion wave will start crashing at your turret so you can spot out enemies waiting once the wave bounces back and equalizes.

Hitting your Curtain Call can be frustrating at times and missing them will make you look like a noob. There's not much actually tricks to hit them all but it always comes in practice and movement reading.

Enemies tend to run back and forth to dodge your bullets. A way to prevent them is by just literally shooting in a straight line near them on where they initially started dodging. Your Curtain Call has a very long duration, use this to take your time and apply pressure for them to dodge instead of constantly firing. Make them intimidated and shoot when you know it. This will put them under pressure and crumble once you shoot your bullets at different intervals.

After reading all these wall of texts is jhin really worth to learn? Definitely yes, Without a question at all. He's definitely one of the best ADC'S that is not that complicated to play at all. His playstyle is linear and simple and teaches you the basic fundamentals of kiting and properly spacing.

If you want to play something really fun and stylish, jhin is the Champion for you.

• Xayah/Rakan Matchup Added
• New Keystone Setup
• GA rush is still viable
• Lethality is the least viable Build atm.

As much as i hate to say this, Guardian Angel Rush is just the best build to follow atm for jhin considering High AD based champions like MF are meta, Jhin slightly struggles to fight back. 

You just don't Build Youmuu's Ghostblade + Guardian Angel instead you go for Infinity Edge after Guardian Angel

Youmuu's Ghostblade First item is still good into Crit but is risky. But if you have a very protective support go for it since Ghostblade just dishes out more damage. Just play carefully and position Safely when kiting.

This has to be the longest Guide I've ever written. Took me 4-5 hours of writing this in Mobile. If you read it all the way fo the end I real thank you for that and may all the games you play be a win. Good luck in the rift and have a great and safe says ahead of you!
