(2020) Jhin is proof that a champion can be unique and fun without being oppressive or broken

I mean just look at him:

  • Bends the existing game mechanics and introduces something new and exciting...
  • Fun for both the player and his opponent (you know, not just another Yasuo/Zoe/Akali)
  • Very easy to understand what he does so he's not oppressive (looking at you Aphelios), and very clear weaknesses
  • Still relatively hard to master
  • Easy to balance
  • Doesn't have a single dodge everything and teleport 4 times and go invisible and become immortal while shielding everyone globally ability

It's just the perfect champion.

I’ve been looking for a way to buff Jhin and that last thing you mentioned seems promising :3

4th shot reveals all enemies on the map and has infinite range

This is a great idea

This is correct. Jhin proved out ammo and weird attack speeds could be cool, then we tried it on Graves who was in dev at the same time. Really helped sell the shotgun.

Doesn't have a single dodge everything and teleport 4 times

This was unironically a Senna iteration!
