Jhin won't behave any differently next season as we want to avoid letting his guaranteed crit fourth shot do too much damage.

Jhin looks quite weak at the present, so we're giving him some damage buffs and found another place to include the number 4 in his tooltips, which is the only buff he really needs, right?

Jhin is weaker than we'd like him to be, and he's become a bit more early game skewed over the years which means he has room for mid and late game buffs! In this patch we're looking to bring back some powerful two item spike builds, and generally improve Jhin's scaling.

Jhin is about as happy as a Jhin main getting a quadrakill, but he’s too strong at the moment, especially in lower skill brackets where games go later. He should be more of a utility champion and less of a late game carry, so we’re lowering his late-game guaranteed damage by reducing his ultimate damage and AD growth to a number that will make Jhin mains feel conflicted.

As a uniquely utility-focused ADC, we think Jhin can be a high performer without causing too much trouble. Plus he's a little on the weak side right now, especially in higher skill brackets. Not only are we adding several more 4s to his tooltips, we're also powering up the more skill-expressive parts of his kit with his ability to kite early and the power of his ramping grenade bounces.

Last patch we identified Jhin as an underperforming champion who doesn't find significant success in solo queue or pro play. However, we knew we were buffing Stormrazor that patch, so we elected to wait and see how those changes affected him. We think he's still a bit below the bar so we're providing him with some more power this patch. We're seriously ramping up his ult damage for two reasons: First, where possible, every champion should have a reliably powerful ultimate so that even if you're having a bad game, you can rely on a long cooldown window of power to try to get back into the game. Second, Jhin is canonically someone who wants to murder, so it's important that his damage is up to snuff.

For someone who loves to put on a show, Jhin hasn't been performing all that well. We're giving him more power to set the stage, especially when he catches someone stepping out of place. We're also helping him clear camps faster with his W and E so we can get Jhingle to a 44.44% winrate. ;)

Jhin has been feeling rather lackluster, and he hasn’t been making the cut into most games. With a deadlier flourish and an even deadlier finale, he’ll have a better shot at picking off enemies when playing off of allies and in key fights.
