﻿
Jhin
 has been one of the most consistent, reliable, and popular bot-lane picks for the past two seasons. He has a unique play-style unlike any other ADC; Jhin is an interesting hybrid marksman with elements of both AD burst assassin and catcher mage. 
There are only upsides to picking this champion in solo queue: Jhin is very safe in lane and a good choice if picking blind or picking first; he has excellent scaling throughout all stages of the game and can play from behind using all the utility in his kit; most of his match-ups are favourable, with only a few counter-picks; and his Fourth shot gives him great objective control on dragons and baron. 
His simple kit is intuitive - it makes him a wise choice for bot-lane fills - but it also leaves open a lot of room for creativity and mastery by more seasoned players. 
Jhin is a thematically compelling champion; each of his spells and abilities have a distinctive flair and drama that are a joy to watch unfold on your screen. 
This is how I like to play him.
Abilities"Yes, the gun is ironic."
Jhin's Spells
Passive
There are some important details to note with regards to Jhin's basic attacks. The most obvious of these is that Jhin only has four total shots he can make before having to reload. Additionally, his basic attacks have a fixed attack speed that cannot be improved though attack speed (except through growth). His final shot is an uncancelable windup that always crits, and does bonus execute damage to low health targets. Your win condition as Jhin is always the Fourth shot! A good Jhin will hold their Fourth shot during fights and aim to use it when an enemy target has low HP. 
Jhin's basic attacks also have some interesting interactions with crit. Crits only do 150% of AD, but they have a slightly increased missile speed. This makes his Fourth shot harder to Flash as it will always move faster than normal autos! His regular crits and fourth shot also give Jhin bonus movement speed (increased by attack speed) for two seconds. This is an extremely important part of his kit. Given Jhin only has the four shots, he relies on the movement speed from these crits to reposition and kite during fights. He can get riskier autos off in a fight provided he has enough crit to escape. During laning, you are always aiming to trade with Fourth shot, as the bonus movement speed will allow you to quickly reposition away from further damage. 
Q
This ability is very straightforward. Aim to use 
Dancing Grenade
 in lane on three low HP minions to rapidly clear waves. If you can, try and use it when the enemy laner is standing next to these minions, as they will take 35% increased damage from the bounce. In fights, this ability his most useful to augment Jhin's fourth shot damage, auto - Q - Fourth shot is a particularly lethal combo. As in lane, if it lands on a enemy champion during a fight and kills them, the bounce will deal bonus damage to all others in the fight that it bounces to! 
W
Useful utility in Jhin's kit. Has a lot of different uses. The primary is as a root for escaping enemies during team-fights, or to root a target for getting picks. 
Galeforce
 + Deadly Flourish
 is a great tool for catching someone off guard, and can get you an easy pick to do drake or baron off of. Deadly Flourish
 is also great for kiting, as it will root whoever is diving the back line, or junglers that try and gank your lane. Its one of the reasons Jhin is such a safe champion in bot lane! A lesser known fact about Deadly Flourish
 is that if it lands and roots, it grants Jhin bonus movement speed off his Whisper
 passive (in exactly the same fashion as a crit). This makes it also a great engage tool. If you are playing aggressively in lane, rooting with Deadly Flourish
 can potentially allow you and your support to all-in. Also great for when your jungler finally gets around to ganking your lane! Deadly Flourish
 can also be used to farm very low hp minions if the enemy is freezing the lane, or to snipe cannons under your turret if you're returning to lane. Lastly - during late game - W + The Collector
 and another crit item or two can essentially execute squishy targets at less than half HP. You can finally one-shot those pesky enchanter supports from the enemy back-line! 
E
This spell is very versatile. Its primary use is to cause enemies to become marked for 
Deadly Flourish
 roots. Always aim to root people on-top of the lotus traps, or place them behind a rooted target during all-ins. The topic of where to place them during lane is a little more complicated. Some chose to put them in the bushes towards river to prevent ganks. Wards, in this regard, are slightly more effective and cost no mana. The other drawback to using traps in place of proper vision is that they only provide the vision when they are triggered. If an enemy jungler is ganking from tri-bush and you are pushing their turret, it may already be too late by the time you've seen them. You can also place traps in the bushes towards the alcove to remove support pressure in lane. Most enemy supports, however, will intentionally run these over to deny any use. An alternative to this is to place them between the bushes towards alcove. Enemy supports will be less likely to have considered this, will trigger them when they step out of the bushes, and will stay revealed for a few seconds. Completely your call, and depends on the behaviour of the enemy support. I personally use traps in lane to help with wave management. In general, the traps are good for wave clear - one of Jhin's major weaknesses in the early game. If the enemy bot lane is aggressively trying to crash the wave, two traps will stop the push in its tracks. On the flip side, if you are trying to crash the wave, slowing and damaging the minion wave is great. Just be careful to not place them too close to enemy turrets as they will be revealed, and can be killed for 10 gold before activating! During fights, they are useful in bushes that have no vision, or to choke off access points to objectives.  The slow puts the enemy team at a disadvantage when trying to contest. The traps also act as pseudo-wards that Teleport
 can be used on. During drake fights, they can provide a free and unexpected Teleport
 play from the top-laner. They are also helpful if you're farming past tier 1 turret in the mid-game - a few well placed traps can alert you to flanks. 
R
The ultimate skill-shot! Impress yours and the enemy team with your sick aim. Used to clean up team-fights or for engage because of the enhanced slow and reveal. Each shot does bonus execute damage, so the first three don't do much more than normal autos if the target is full hp. The Fourth shot always crits, as per usual, but deals bonus crit damage. You have to be careful during the channel, however, as most players will attempt to engage and interrupt or kill Jhin during the ult. Try and use it in the cover of bush, or far away from the enemy team. Make sure to watch for flanks! A neat trick you can do with the ult during late game: get all your shots off in a fight, then clean up a kill you didn't quite get with 
Deadly Flourish
. Most players will successfully dodge a few of your shots, but will be caught completely off-guard by a sneakyDeadly Flourish
 snipe. Prepare for your finale!
Rune Trees"The composition needs something."
DH 1
DH 2
Fleet 1
Fleet 2
Dark HarvestThere are two primary keystones builds Jhin can take advantage of. The high-risk high-reward keystone is 
Dark Harvest
, and is taken generally to punish enemy mistakes in early laning phase. 
In lower elos, people will not respect Jhin's early game damage, and will freely trade with you when your Fourth shot is active. Additionally, given the popularity of some mage supports such as 
Lux
, Zyra
 or Xerath
, this rune gains a lot of value if taken. However, there are some cases where this rune will get no value in lane - sometimes your support just cannot do the damage, the enemy support is a sustain enchanter, or you are repeatedly ganked or roamed on by mid. 
In the event you do not get many stacks in the early/mid-game, Dark Harvest is essentially a dead rune. So pick it wisely, and only take if you have confidence you can snowball the lane from an early stage. 
Dark harvest is pretty straightforward, it has strong interactions with the execute in Jhin's kit - 
Galeforce
, Whisper
, Curtain Call
, Dancing Grenade
 etc. The bonus damage from the rune scales from the total souls you have collected, so you must be aggressive to ensure you're getting soul stacks early on (by damaging champions below 50% hp). It does 20-60 bonus damage based on level and + 5 damage per soul. Essentially a 25% bonus AD ratio. With crit and AD stacking, it can add a lot of damage mid-late game (when properly stacked). Unfortunately, the rest of the Domination tree is mediocre for Jhin. 
﻿
Taste of Blood
 gives decent sustain. It scales with level, and has a 20 second cd. The only valid option in the first row. Eyeball Collection
 (in the second row) grants bonus AD from champion take-downs. Its useful for snowballing, and grants a lot of bonus AD at full stacks. The final row should be Treasure Hunter
 which is a mediocre scaling rune for healing. It is not a great option for early sustain unless you are getting kills. This rune is also less effective with Area of Effect abilities such as Jhin's Dancing Grenade
. 
Dark Harvest - Secondary TreesThere are two secondaries you can choose to take when playing Dark Harvest. The first, and probably default, will be Precision. 
Legend: Bloodline
 offers great sustain, and scales off minion kills. It is much safer and a more reliable form of sustain that scales off more than just champion take-downs. Presence of Mind
 should be your other rune for additional mana, but Coup de Grace
 can be taken instead for additional execute damage. 
The other secondary that can be taken is Sorcery, with 
Nimbus Cloak
 and Gathering Storm
. Nimbus Cloak
 is extremely useful for Jhin, as it shores up his major weakness - immobility. It grants 35% bonus movement speed for Flash
 and 25% bonus movement speed from Heal
. Always take this rune from Sorcery. Gathering Storm
 is more bonus AD, and is better with the Dark Harvest tree. 
Fleet FootworkIn higher elo, you will want to take 
Fleet Footwork
. Its the better overall rune for Jhin, and interacts strongly with the movement speed from Whisper
 passive. Fleet Footwork is better for laning (it provides additional sustain) and is stronger for team-fighting with the bonus movement speed. This rune makes Jhin's early-laning safer, and allows you to scale better in games where you will not necessarily be snowballing. It also allows you to take Precision tree runes, which are by far the best on Jhin.
﻿
Presence of Mind
 and Legend: Bloodline
 are standard. Coup de Grace
 is preferable, but Cut Down
 can be taken if the enemy team has 3 or more tanks/bruisers who build health or a mid-laner that builds health items. 
Fleet Footwork - Secondary TreesAgain, there are two secondaries that can be taken with Fleet Footwork. The superior option is Sorcery, as it gives you access to 
Nimbus Cloak
 and Celerity
. Celerity is completely broken on Jhin; it enhances the movement speed on his passive Whisper
, it boosts the movement speed from Boots of Swiftness
, it works with the bonus movement speed on Galeforce
 passive, it interacts with Nimbus Cloak
. It even works during river-walking! This rune opens up a lot of opportunities for kiting and outplaying with Jhin's movement, a mandatory rune! See if they can catch you now!
There are some instances, however, where the sustain from Fleet Footwork is not enough for laning. In heavy poke lanes consider taking Inspiration secondary, with
Biscuit Delivery
 for sustain and bonus mana, and Time Warp Tonic
 for additional movement speed and instant health. 
Summoner Spells"Smiles, everyone, smiles!"
﻿
Flash
 - Standard.
﻿
Heal
 - Also, standard, but can be replaced situation-ally. 
﻿
Cleanse
  - This summoner is very useful when the enemy team's win condition on bot roams is heavy cc (think Sejuani
 jungle with Zyra
/ Morgana
/Lux
 support, or Amumu
 Jungle with Ashe
 + Leona
 bot-lane). Also good into control mages mid. Drawback of Cleanse (and Exhaust for that matter) is that most players will try and burst you down levels 1-2 to punish you for not taking heal. Consider Inspiration secondary in this instance.
﻿
Exhaust
 - Great into 'counter' picks. I personally believe that Jhin is one of the most solid bot-lane picks to choose blind, but there are some players that will try and counter with Tristana
 or Twitch
. Exhaust is also good into Samira
, a Vayne
 with good set-up (something like Thresh
) or Draven
. Also great to take if the enemy team is very engage heavy, and you suspect that you will lack peel against back-line/tower dives.

Most people choose to go Q-W-Q for better poke and harass early game. However, Q-W-E allows you to control the wave better early game, so it is my default order. 
Max 
Dancing Grenade
 first, as it does the most amount of damage. Deadly Flourish
 can be maxed afterwards, but is only taken early for the root, and not the damage scaling. Captive Audience
 is lowest priority. Take Curtain Call
 when it is available at levels 6, 11, and 16.
Item Builds"Rapid fire? Huh. Where's the drama in that?"
Starting Items﻿
﻿
Very safe start. Pick if the enemy team has strong engage you'd wish to avoid, or if they have strong poke. Combos very nicely with the Inspiration Secondary build. The down-side of boots start is the missing AD. However, it allows you to recall and buy completed 
Boots of Swiftness
.
﻿
﻿
﻿
Doran's Blade
 + Health Potion
 is a standard start for all-in comps. 
Notes on Long Sword Start﻿
﻿
I personally start 
Long Sword
 in every game where I feel Boots
 start is not necessary (most games). Many Pro players - across every region - are also starting Long Sword
 + 3 Health Potion
 as opposed to Doran's Blade
 + health pot as ADC. The reasons are as follows:
1. 
Long Sword
 gives 2 more AD, comes with 2 extra pots, and will build into your first item! As Jhin this will be Noonquiver
 or Serrated Dirk
. Doran's Blade
, on the other hand, gives 2 less AD, 80 more HP and 2.5% omnivamp but it builds into nothing. It is also sold at a gold loss later in the game. Therefore, buying Long Sword
 puts you permanently ahead in gold (vs. the other ADC) by 350 gold! 
2. This is important because the Mythic ADC items are one of the most important power spikes in the game currently. In particular, 
Galeforce
 gives Jhin great escape utility for team fights, and insane kill pressure with Galeforce
 execute + Fourth Shot. 
3. Being 350 gold ahead towards that Mythic item spike means that, assuming both ADCS are farming equally, you can base before the enemy and return to lane with a massive advantage to snowball off of. It allows you to spike before they do, given equal laning conditions. Furthermore, this lead stays with you the entire game! Even after one item, you are still 350 gold ahead of them for your second, third and fourth item. 
4. The extra 
Health Potion
 form Long Sword
 start also allow you to stabilize the lane in the event that you mess up a trade or make other mistakes. They allow you to recover better from jungle ganks too.  Also, if you have priority in lane but are taking extra damage shoving the wave, healing up with the extra pots allows you to maintain this lead (and can potentially make you very healthy for a tower dive).
5. Consider choosing the 
Cut Down
 rune when starting Long Sword
. When the enemy team has tanks & bruisers (that build health items) this rune should be taken anyways. If, however, the enemy adc has high base HP when buying Doran's Blade
, you could be doing anywhere from 5-10% extra damage to them at level 1! For example, Jhin's base HP when starting long-sword is 585. A Jinx
 starting Doran's Blade
 has 690 health. The calculation for Cut Down
 is [x - 0.1] x 1/9 + 0.05, where x is the additional maximum health that the target has in relation to you. In this scenario, Jinx has 18% more max HP than you -> [0.18 - 0.1] x 1/9 + 0.05 = 0.059 or 5.9% bonus damage.
First Back﻿
﻿
Regardless of what item you chose to start, 
Boots of Swiftness
 should be your first back. If you've been reading so far, you know that Jhin's entire kit is enabled through bonus movement speed on Whisper
 crits. This item makes Jhin very hard to catch, and increases his kill pressure early on. Jhin has enough initial damage to delay an AD buy. A Jhin with Boots of Swiftness
 and a Long Sword
 or two is much more of a threat than a boots-less Jhin with Noonquiver
. Generally, try to avoid buying Refillable Potion
 and Cull
, but if you back with low gold consider picking them up.
Early Items﻿
﻿
These items are in order of priority. 
Noonquiver
 gives a lot of AD, and is required for the Galeforce
 build-path. Serrated Dirk
 is also an important buy early. This item is completely broken - its the most gold efficient item in the game. The lethality passive also gives Jhin great burst early game. With Noonquiver
 and Serrated Dirk
 you have 60 AD (almost as much as given from Infinity Edge
) and can basically never lose trades. 
Damage Items﻿
﻿
﻿
Galeforce
 has been covered, but it is Jhin's main mythic. The Collector
 synergizes
well with the execute in Jhin's kit, and makes your Fourth shots that much more deadly. Whisper
 scales very well with AD and crit, so always be looking to buy items that maximize these stats. Lord Dominik's Regards
 is very broken on Jhin, even into squishes (who have some armour from growth). Stormrazor
 can be taken for additional slow utility. Bloodthirster
 is very situational, and can be a gratuitous buy, but it is the only other item with 55 AD. Rapid Firecannon
 is commonly bought on Jhin, but I personally do not believe it is necessary. The extra energized attack is only effective for one auto, and the lack of AD on this item can make you feel weak mid-game. In high elo you may be punished for skipping this item, but for maximum damage it doesn't quite fit. The attack speed is converted into some AD and a slight increase to movement speed on Whisper
 crits, but these ratios are not enough to compensate for the lost AD from other items. Totally your call. 
Situational Items﻿
﻿
﻿
Guardian Angel
 is great if the enemy team has a fed AD assassin one-shoting you. Mortal Reminder
 is not a great buy for Jhin, and should be avoided at all costs. The stacking passive from this item takes forever to stack given Jhin's fixed attack speed. Only buy this if your teammates refuse to buy anti-heal. Mercurial Scimitar
 is great into champions with point and click cc such as Malzahar
, or if you forgot Cleanse
 during champ select. 
Common ADC Match-ups"My critics are... usually short-lived."
Match-ups
This match-up is in your favour. Jinx has potent 2v2, especially if she takes healing runes and is paired with a heavy engage support like 
Nautilus
. If she manages to proc Get Excited!
 you lose. Early game, try to out-range her when in mini-gun, and avoid being near minions when she swaps to rockets with Switcheroo!
. Before two items, she loses 1v1 if she misses Flame Chompers!
  or Zap!
. She is also super vulnerable to poke without a sustain support. 
Late-game, Jinx can be a problem. Try to catch her outside of passive, as her movement speed is one of the lowest for ADCs in the game. Follow-up any CC with your 
Deadly Flourish
, and finish her off from a safe range using Curtain Call
. 
Skill match-up. A good Vayne will make your life impossible. She is a slippery target with 
Tumble
, so hitting her with Deadly Flourish
 can be difficult. She can also completely lock you down with Condemn
 if you stand too near a wall. Vayne's passive Night Hunter
 makes her super quick, so she can hunt you down and catch you even with Whisper
 crits. Her laning phase is super weak, however. Abuse her weak wave clear, and trade with her when she is going for CS. You can very easily hard-shove her under turret and kill her with dives. Vayne also struggles against poke supports in lane, try to pair Jhin with a Lux
 or Zyra
. Pre-level 6, she loses short trades with you - but do not engage in extended trades when she has Silver Bolts
. Be careful when she has Final Hour
 up, because you lose 1v1. During her ult, try to kite and out-range her, she is pretty squishy even with Immortal Shieldbow
.
﻿
Lulu
 diff. In the event that she is paired with a non-enchanter support, Zeri is about as much of a threat to you in lane as a caster minion is. Her early game laning is very underwhelming - you win trades, you out-range her, and her only escape from all-ins, Spark Surge
, is on a long cool-down. She also has a hard time damaging you back; Ultrashock Laser
 is blocked by minions. If she has a Lulu
, Karma
, Nami
 or any other champion that frequently shields, she is a little more dangerous because they active her passive Living Battery
. Furthermore, try to avoid 2v2s and 3v3s when she gets Lightning Crash
, because her burst, kiting, and all-in are much more potent. At three items, Zeri will do more damage than you. She is difficult to stick to due to Spark Surge
; she can jump walls and easily dodge Deadly Flourish
 and Curtain Call
. Frequently warding can help against her flanks. Consider taking Cut Down
 into Zeri because she usually builds Trinity Force
 and Titanic Hydra
, both of which give a lot of HP. Try not to chase Zeri, and always rely on your Dancing Grenade
 - Galeforce
 - Fourth shot combo to kill her when she gets too close. She will never be able to match your burst.
Dodge or ban. Twitch is a nightmare for Jhin. 
Venom Cask
, completely counters the movement speed in your kit. If he decides to build AP, he will repeatedly kill your support on CD - while you helplessly watch. In the early game he will cheese kills with Ambush
. He will freeze under his turret and kill you when you CS. He will roam mid, top and jungle for free kills. If you give him a slight edge in lane he will snowball hard. Twitch also has insane burst coming out of Ambush
 when paired with Spray and Pray
. You can only ever hope to 1v1 him with Exhaust
 and Control Ward
. Not worth the headache. 
﻿
Vayne-lite. In the early levels, Kai'Sa's damage is loaded into her passive 
Second Skin
 and Icathian Rain
. Her trading pattern is relatively simple - auto followed by Icathian Rain
. Try to trade with her after she has used this ability to farm the wave, or at the very least, when you are near the wave. Try not to engage in extended trades with Kai'Sa as she, like Vayne, will win these. As of patch 12.3, most Kai'Sa players are building hybrid AP. Watch out for Void Seeker
 as it does considerable damage with AP builds. Once she has two items and upgraded Icathian Rain
, Kai'Sa has very strong burst. She will be looking to get passive procs on you through stun/cc/ Void Seeker
, so she can jump on you with Killer Instinct
 and use Icathian Rain
. This ability does increased damage to targets who are isolated, so be near teammates during fights! During late-game, you can never 1v1 her. Once all of her abilities are upgraded, she will bully you out of the game if she manages to get on-top of you with Killer Instinct
. However, as long as you are dodging enemy CC and Void Seeker
, you out-range her. Use this to your advantage and Kai'Sa will never win the game. Lastly, consider Lord Dominik's Regards
 against Kai'Sa; commonly built items on her are Crown of the Shattered Queen
 and Shadowflame
, both of which gives her a lot of HP. If she gets ahead, consider buying Mercury's Treads
 to counter her AP damage. 
Caitlyn is the former queen of bot-lane. Last patch, she was an even match-up. However, after AD scaling nerfs and adjustments to her 
Piltover Peacemaker
  pass-through damage in patch 12.3, she is a shell of her former self. Her single win condition in a match is to abuse a lead from her laning phase. If she loses or goes even, she’s useless. In team fights you have more burst, utility, and sustained damage. Caitlyn still out-ranges you in lane, and her 90 Caliber Net
 - Piltover Peacemaker
 combo still does damage if it lands. Consider putting skill points into Captive Audience
 early for better wave management so she can't hard shove you under turret. Otherwise, a pretty easy match-up currently.
The better marksman wins. This is a relatively even match-up, but you need to always keep the pressure on him to deny a lead. If you are letting him 
Mystic Shot
 you in the face during lane you will lose. If he is blowing Arcane Shift
 too aggressively and getting caught by your Deadly Flourish
 then you win. In team fights, if you can pick him off with Curtain Call
 then you win. If he catches you with Trueshot Barrage
 then you lose. Jhin is stronger in the early game (especially if Ezreal starts or buys Tear of the Goddess
 on the first back), but Ezreal scales into mid-game much better than Jhin. If you play too passively in lane you will be punished for it later. As of patch 12.3, a lot of Ezreals use First Strike
 as their primary keystone. Its even more crucial than before that you not get poked out by his Mystic Shot
 in the early game, as his Essence Flux
 - Arcane Shift
 - Mystic Shot
 combo gives him a lot of gold. Make sure you are always standing behind minions! If he goes in to trade aggressively with this combo, all-in him as he will be vulnerable without Arcane Shift
 up. Remember to not push his turret with low HP, as he will use Trueshot Barrage
 from the fountain to catch the wave and cheese a kill. Take Fleet Footwork
 with Inspiration
﻿Biscuit Delivery
 as a secondary, start Boots
 and four Health Potion
, and he will never successfully poke you out of lane. Also consider build Lord Dominik's Regards
 if he builds tank items (Trinity Force
, Frozen Heart
, Crown of the Shattered Queen
) so he can't counter your burst. 
This match-up is not in your favour. Tristana is commonly picked to counter Jhin: 
Rocket Jump
 gives her a massive slow which counters Whisper
; she can use Buster Shot
 to knock you out of Curtain Call
; and the burst from her Explosive Charge
 - Rapid Fire
 combo is more reliable (requires less set-up than Jhin's). Her win condition in lane is one-dimensional, however, so the match-up is winnable. If she takes Hail of Blades
, she is looking to all in you at level 2 with Rocket Jump
 and kill you with the burst fromExplosive Charge
. Exhaust
 counters this strategy. If she fails to snowball at 2-3 or kill you early, then you are even. Never give her the opportunity to take back the lead! Don't face-check brush after laning is over and she can neverRocket Jump
 - Explosive Charge
 - Rapid Fire
 all-in you. If Tristana is unable to Rocket Jump
 aggressively on you during the game, she can't counter you! During team fights, if she is not ahead she will be punished for misusing Rocket Jump
. Jhin has better range and utility than Tristana, so use these to your advantage. Try to catch her with Deadly Flourish
 after she uses Rocket Jump
 - she will be an easy kill for your team. Consider building Doran's Blade
 for this match-up, as it will give you higher HP for her all-ins. Plated Steelcaps
 can be good too if you need to be extra safe. 
Welcome to the League of Draven! This guy is a clown, seriously. If he's playing aggressively with an engage support, take 
Exhaust
 and never give him a kill. If he's playing too passively, Jhin inevitably out-scales. Jhin is great into Draven because he can match his early-game damage output. Draven's movement is also super predictable thanks to his Spinning Axe
 tosses, which make Deadly Flourish
 easy to hit. He'll be vulnerable to ganks from your jungler if he's pushed up too far hitting turret. If he buys Immortal Shieldbow
 and buys life-steal items, get Executioner's Calling
 and burst him down in CC. He shouldn't be a problem.

 which means the enemy laners will be low HP for Fourth shots. Light Binding
 serves as great follow-up for Deadly Flourish
 and vice versa. Final Spark
 and Curtain Call
 have great synergy for picking off the enemy team. 
Duo Win-rate: 54.30%
Senna gives you better opportunity to trade. With two ADCs in lane, it means you never lose a trade if you both auto the same target. The healing on 
Piercing Darkness
 also allows you to stay aggressive. Last Embrace
 and Deadly Flourish
 combo together nicely. Pair Curtain Call
 and Dawning Shadow
 for free kills under their turret!
Duo Win-rate: 53.48%
A safe lane for scaling. Strong poke AP from 
Hymn of Valor
 that you can root off of. Great healing and shielding with Aria of Perseverance
. Song of Celerity
 works well with Jhin's passive Whisper
 and your Boots of Swiftness
. Crescendo
 is a powerful tool for peel, or to lock down targets during your Curtain Call
.
Duo Win-rate: 51.81%
Time to win! Super obnoxious poke in lane. Double 
Time Bomb
 + Deadly Flourish
 is a guaranteed kill if the opponent is below 70-60% HP. Time Warp
 makes hitting your abilities a breeze. Chronoshift
 is completely broken, and prevents the enemy from all-ins.
Duo Win-rate: 52.71%
A better version of brand. True damage on 
Organic Deconstruction
, his passive. Tectonic Disruption
 is a free knock-up that you can root off of. Great zoning in lane with Plasma Fission
. His ultimate, Life Form Disintegration Ray
 combos very nicely with Dark Harvest
.
Duo Win-rate: 52.38%
More poke than a finger! 
Starcall
 serves as a great zoning tool. Root them in her Equinox
 for double roots and bonus damage. Between Equinox
, Captive Audience
, the slow on Starcall
, and your Deadly Flourish
, they will have a hard time moving!
Duo Win-rate: 52.80%
A better version of lux. More consistent damage from 
Arcanopulse
 and Eye of Destruction
. Shocking Orb
 is a good peel tool, and great set-up for your Deadly Flourish
. Bring in the artillery! Curtain Call
 and Rite of the Arcane
 will leave no one standing!
Duo Win-rate: 52.59%
The forecast is looking great for Janna! Since her mini-rework in patch 12.2, she has been super strong. The slow on 
Zephyr
 and the knock-up on Howling Gale
 are great to root off of. Eye Of The Storm
 makes your trading stronger too. Monsoon
 is an excellent tool for peel and completely counters all-in comps. Just make sure she doesn't cast it during your Curtain Call
!
Closing Remarks"The end is important in all things."
Thank you OnlyGuides for the opportunity to publish this! The formatting tools were a breeze to use and allowed me to make my guide look just the way I wanted it to. There is a bug in my Soraka drop-down that I can't seem to fix though 😭. I hope everyone has as much fun reading the guide as I had writing it. I wish everyone the best of luck with their guides too, and see you on the rift! Maybe I've inspired you to try Jhin 🙂.

In my opinion i think this guide is flawed because basing on throughout the changes during the seasons it better to go galeforce, rapid fire cannon lord dom then Infinity edge with guardian angel to end it as last item. with dark harvest runes it give the chance of actually one shoting enemy from long distance keeping u both safe and able to deal damage to the enemy team

Isn't Rapid Firecannon with dark harvest runes gives jhin more dmg and speed than fleet footwork with dmg only items? Energized shot gives a lot of movement speed. Also what about cheap shot in dh runes? I think it's great in pair with cc support like Lux, Zyra, Morgana, etc. 
Will be glad to hear your thoughts
