Blitzcrank
Can't deal with the incredible cc that this champ can dish out. He is also tanky and is hard to burst due to his passive. Avoid at all costs. If you match against a blitz, just play safe until lane phase is over, or wait for your jungler. Try not to go for Dark harvest procs, it can easily bait you.
Champion Build Guide
- Jhin has built-in crit from level 1, which makes his early game incredibly strong. Try to use your 4th shot for safe poking, while playing near a brush to drop minion aggro. That said, you should choose carefully when to use this poke. Don't always go for a 4th shot poke just because it's up, it can backfire pretty badly if you aren't careful. Watch the enemy support's movements and try to coordinate.
- Your ult is not just an ability to finish off enemies that are running away from you. Because this ability slows, it is good in fights to use as cc. Don't be afraid to use this ability even if the enemy has full health, your slows may be enough for your team to catch that person.
- Don't use your abilities left and right. For example, just because a minion is low, you might want to use your Q to clear a bunch of minions. This is a mistake that can keep you from obtaining kills, especially early game. Use your abilities on a minion wave for shoving or if you are reloading.
- Your E grants you vision in a small radius. use this to your advantage if you are out of wards or if you want to zone off an area. It is also useful to catch invisible enemies like Twitch or Evelynn. Try to use your traps for utility, not damage.
- Don't use your W to root just because you can. This can be a fatal error, as they might be waiting for you to use the ability so they can all-in you. Not to mention, it is a waste of mana as it doesn't do that much damage compared to your auto attacks and Q. This ability should be used to engage or to get away most of the time.
- You are a low health, low mobility champion. Have your team peel for you can always play around assassins. Jhin snowballs very hard, which means a lot of times you will have a large bounty for enemies to collect. Prioritize playing safe and dealing damage from the backline.
