I'm just a total piece of shit and I'm not sure why I keep posting on this site. Christ, I have spent years with idiots giving me bad advice about online dating and haven't noticed that the thread I'm in selects for people that can't talk to people worth a damn.

Yeah, well I don't trust this guy. I think he regifted, he degifted, and now he's using an upstairs invite as a springboard to a Super Bowl sex romp.
Played Jhin for free, he seems pretty rad+fun tbh. Hate adc though, how badly do i sabotage my team if I take him mid?

I think I may stop playing ranked for a while. This dropped me from promos to Bronze 1 all the down to 0 LP Bronze 3. And the worst thing is I won my lane most of the time in these games

I had a similar experience. I had a string of losses that took me from silver 2 to silver 4. Just keep playing, friend, for I am now climbing my way back up.

Pretty bad. You can play him mid and have it work in the same way that almost any ADC "works" mid, but he doesn't offer the roaming and pushing power that, imo, makes a midlaner a midlaner.

I've had the pleasure of supporting someone who actually did really well multiple times with Jhin. The main difference, I think, is playing him as a bully instead of farming passively (which I see a lot of people advocating). I think 2v2 laning is one of his strengths, with the poke damage from the crit bullet. What he was doing differently from other/worse Jhins was using that bullet on the enemy every time. With a utility or mage support, it makes it really easy to coordinate harass for a ton of damage with minimal mana used. I played Janna, and he just did CS/CS/CS/trade with Janna shield, over and over until their ADC had to leave lane. Also, use Q to CS while reloading instead of Q to harass and CS with autos. This should make it so you get 100% of CS.

It changes around a ton from patch to patch, just search "Announcer_Global_Female1_VO_audio.wpk" in the base league folder, right click the result and "go to file".

I spent two hours making one myself before searching the net and finding that one already existed lol.

Don't get it twisted, boss, he's more than fine to farm, but a support that will get poo poo done with him is huge, considering how much damage he does. on the fourth plink.

I wish I could figure out how the gently caress to make his grenades hit champions though.

just let it go when there's at least 1 minion about to die and the enemy champion is next to it,
when there's a blatant 3 minion set up they'll walk away from you but it's a 30-50 mana spell on a short cool down, don't be afraid to let it go with 1 or 2 bounces, because it will still do decent damage, especially if you AA-Q-AA (it's an auto attack reset apparently).

E: with his change in targeting, AA-Q-AA-W is going to do a shitton of damage, even if some of it is loaded into the magic damage DoT (deathfire's touch).

Well yeah, the one minion + enemy champion thing is the really easy thing. I'm talking the longer chain of killing minions and trying to get the two/three bounce skidoo on them. I feel there's a way to reliably do it, but I haven't figured it out yet.

So unfortunately it looks like my GP gravy train is comin to an end, which makes me sad because it was my first champ I played a lot and the first champ I ever bought a skin for but anyway

Assuming the 3 keg limit is too much to overcome and still be good for a non-pro shitter like me, any suggestions for a top laner that has a similar playstyle top? As in, someone who can generally be pretty safe and farm-centric and doesn't have many bad matchups but can still contribute a lot to team later. I would go back to playing Pantheon or something but I just feel like there's such a proliferation of like malphite and nautilus and poo poo that I would just be sitting up there farming and then falling off later. I used to play Rumble a bunch and he might be ok after the tweaks/buffs but I kinda feel like it's gonna take more than what he's getting tonight to get him out of the dumpster.

Play Heimerdinger.

I mean, he's not god tier or anything but he doesn't have many bad matchups top lane. You basically only worry about someone who outranges your turrets with their AAs, and even in those matchups you could just build your W up instead I guess.
