[4.3] Jhin Guide - How to Jhin in the Jungle [4.4]

Welcome to the Jhin Jungle Guide!

This isn't going to be accurate because I realized that the items here weren't added. Like the newer items. If you're more curious about how all this works, see me on Twitch, sub on Youtube. Or just come talk to me about it on Discord! Jhin

Runes : Electrocute Sudden Impact Brutal
This build was made with very specific runes. I have a blue build and a rage (red) build. The blue build is designed for scaling and 1 shotting late game (think of Blue Kayn 1 shotting, it's based off of that), while red build is more like Ka. The red build you need flash for, because the rune of choice is sudden impact. Flash and protobelt both send you straight into the enemy team, which procs the rune and shreds through their armor.

AA + Protobelt + Q + 4th shot Jhin

Items to avoid using : Stormrazor
Items we like are : COLLECTOR Infinity Edge Bloodthirster Essence Reaver Black Cleaver (order can depend on enemy team).

The most important thing is knowing your matchups. For me I started maining Mid lane, then tried Top lane, even played Jhin support. Anything to get away from the idea of him being an ADC in that horrible bot lane. When I mastered all those matchups, I moved into the Jungle.

I've been there ever since. Masters Jungler with Jhin only. Just to prove it had nothing to do with MMR, I made a new account in the same season, and also 1 tricked Jhin Jungle, just to get to Masters again. I've played against GM and Chall Junglers in the process. The results were still the same. Still climbed, still won.

A big determining factor for this to work is the same as with a normal JG (to a degree). If the laners feed. Especially if you ping the enemy JG going bot and your bot still decides to die, then it puts you behind the enemy JG for no reason other than your bot lane having no hands.

It's very important that you keep in mind Jhin is usually immobile in comparison to a Ka, Kayn, Horse, ect. In fact banning the Horse (due to my bot lane always feeding them) is probably my main ban. I'm not really afraid of Kayn since stasis is good enough against him most times. Ka is a problem and an annoyance due to his jumping away all the time. He can be harder to secure.

If there's a Yi just drop everything and build Thornmail + Frozen Heart after your first 2 items and boots.

Black Cleaver is a very good item to take 4th item if there's a lot of tanks. If there's a Garen Leona ect. You'll want to get cleaver and deal with these tanky subjects. A lot of people think that Jhin can't play against tanks, and with things like Wukong getting unfairly buffed, it's easy to see why. However, he definately can, with good kiting, good flash usage, and knowing when to hover team fights with ult vs with your body.

It's notably important, that Jhin should keep himself more fed and ahead that not only the enemy Jungler, but the enemy ADC. If their ADC becomes more ahead of yours, you'll want to take on the responsiblity of shutting him down and hindering him until your ADC can catch up. The best part of being an ADC in the Jungle, is that your carry potential is almost limitless.

Jhin was built for all lanes and roles, just look at his kit. Traps for vision and lane safety, great during team fights. He has a root to secure threats. Long-ranged ult to keep people back while your team gets away. A nice Q here and there for multikills if the enemy team runs away low and you still wanna finish them off... there's endless possibilities and that's why I've elected to exclusively main Jhingle now.

Will people invade you? Yes. If they have a solid team comp, they will invade you. Are you going to die? Idk are you? Play smart. Take 1 with you if you absolutely cannot avoid dying. Your early damage is insane, make them suffer for daring to enter your Jungle.

Where do you start? Depends on my mood. If my bot laners are top side, I start blue then move to red. I hover around lanes that have enemies shoved under their towers. I don't force, and I look for oppertunities to secure kills for my laners. Once in a while I'll start a fight before dragon, but that's because we need the enemy bot laners and their JG dead, in order to secure the objective.
