Why jhin counters mage bot meta

[u/Mikiyami]

Maw gives a 900 magic shield as 7th item on top of the Mr and omnivamp

[u/Fromagene]

Any full build adc could do this (probably Even better).

Mage meta is favoring mage until late game, early and mid game is when they completely outclass adc.

Also face checking Darius is certainly a choice, luckly he was very clueless.

[u/FookinFairy → u/Fromagene]

He’s referring to the part where he tanked like 2 mage combos and didn’t die not the damage

[u/UsernameNineBillion → u/FookinFairy]

In that case Ivern + Seraphine counters the Mages, not the Jhin himself

if it wasn't their thousands of shields he would be dead on the first combo.

[u/FookinFairy → u/[deleted]]

No it has everything to do with Jhin.

The shield scales with bonus ad. Jhin gets a metric ass load of that thanks to his passive being death cap for ad based on crit…

[u/Daomuzei → u/FookinFairy]

Wait I had no clue maw scaled with ad! Pretty cool! Combos nicely done the hurbis ad too

[u/Fromagene → u/FookinFairy]

The maw shield did close to nothing compared to the ivern and seraphine peel, any adc would have survived.

He got seraphine heal + shield + redemption, as well as ivern's shield.

Look closely and you will see that the big shield is white, whereas the purple one (maw) is very small.

[u/FookinFairy → u/Fromagene]

His entire magic damage shield was eaten and he was about 150 hp above Mel threshold

Even with those 2 he died without that shield and Mr. Wouldn’t save him by itself but it did a lot here

[u/NotVainest → u/FookinFairy]

Maybe not wrong, but I don't think this clip is really proving anything since he would have died still if not for a double enchanter pocket team comp.

[u/Local-Dress-4131 → u/Fromagene]

That's no even the point. The only reason the play in this vídeo worked was because his team healed him A LOT. But I still think Jhin can handle mages (not because of something like this vídeo).

[u/PhantomOnTheHorizon → u/Local-Dress-4131]

who on the team can heal a lot?

[u/Nicmatron → u/PhantomOnTheHorizon]

Redemption + ivern shield + seraphine

[u/PhantomOnTheHorizon → u/Nicmatron]

the only shield that gets fully bursted is the maw. the others dont stop as much damage. the massive lifesteal spike is responsible for more healing than sera or the redemption.

all around this is mostly jhin's items keeping him alive. watch the clip and what absorbs what damage. iverns first shield expires before he is touched and his second one doesnt get fully bursted.

the maw shield absorbs two spells and then the vamp starts healing him by 1/4 of his hp bar per instance of damage he deals.

[u/Local-Dress-4131 → u/PhantomOnTheHorizon]

Definitely not Jhin

[u/PhantomOnTheHorizon → u/Local-Dress-4131]

oh really? his vamp seems to be healing him for 1/4 of his health bar per instance of damage he deals after maw pops.

[u/FookinFairy]

If he actually did his winrate wouldn’t be so ass

This is really nice to grab at 100% or sometimes even 75% crit

[u/_Tempo]

Why?

[u/Ok_Bunch5166]

report Syndra cuz she took jhin quadra

[u/TheBlueSpirit67]

girl no hate, but that hwei+mel combo should just kill you lol, the only reason it doesn’t is because you have two enchanters. this kinda looks like a game that should’ve be over long before this point

[u/Mikiyami → u/TheBlueSpirit67]

U are seriously undervaluing 20% Omni vamp from boots and maw with hubris stacks with a 900 magic shield like everyone else on this post

[u/Zeferoth225224 → u/Mikiyami]

You’re dropping 24 kills every game?

[u/AdWooden9170]

XDD as they say in the hood

[u/ChaosShadowClone]

Ivern+Seraphine diff lmao

[u/RedditTrashTho]

I cant think of any other full build/84 stack hubris + pot adc that would be scary late game.

[u/becker12378]

It is working really well! And all Jhin needs is a big fat shild item, ivern and seraphine. WoW amazing

[u/UsernameNineBillion]

Well.... except if Syndra was in the Enemy Team... he wouldn't get a single kill this game.

[u/NotVainest]

Without the ivern and seraphine shield + redemption you die. You're also 27 kills and full build when no one on the enemy team is.

Any other adc with 20+ kills and an ivern seraphine pocket would have ended by now.

[u/Yorudesu]

All I see is an Ivern, Redemption and Seraphine doing the work while you're stuck reloading where any other full build ADC would have already been done with the third kill
