is Electrocute or Aery worth trying at all?

(been playing jhin for a season and just now started experimenting with runes/builds.)

Elec proc is pretty easy if ur good with W. Aery idk about. It’s not great. Useless with ult and team fight dmg is low

#

I would def recommend trying Elec it’s what a run when I play him and seems to work consistently well

worthy spire
#

Imo fleet is the best into most matchups

#

Vs some elec is better

#

I seen streamers use phase rush oh jhin

Congrats @tribal hull! You've unlocked Chat Level 1!

Makes him really fast

cold orbit
#

Oh that would be so annoying

#

I have to try

worthy spire
#

It's not really worth it imo

#

Cuz the passive with ability haste is useless

#

Fleet will always be better than phase rush

#

But if u want that speed then why not

umbral tusk
#

Kraken

cold orbit
#

Why

umbral tusk
#

Because of Jhins insane AD plus 4th shot synergy

#

Fleet really doesn’t do him anything ever since the nerfs

#

Whatever you do, do not run aery on jhin

worthy spire
#

Even idk conq is better

#

U will get 2 procs of kraken per whole fight

#

Defo worth it

umbral tusk
worthy spire
#

If u shot more than 8 bullets in a teamfight then they either have 3 tanks or u deal no dmg to their Frontline

umbral tusk
#

It scales on your bonus ad

#

Which jhin has hundreds of

worthy spire
#

Bro

#

I think u didn't understand

#

Kraken will proc every 3 aa

#

U Will shoot max 8 times per battle

#

So 2 kraken procs

#

That's literally useless

umbral tusk
#

You’re gonna be shooting a lot more than 8x per fight lmao

#

And each proc is doing more than 5 fleet procs

#

So is there really a reason not to take it

#

If you’re gonna spout nonsense at least go and try stuff first

worthy spire
#

Max 11 shots

#

So 3 kraken procs

#

That's still useless

#

Elec or even conq is better

#

And fleet helps you reposition

#
  • that 100+ heal is lowkey nuts late game
#

If u don't build vamp

umbral tusk
#

Right cause hundreds of damage is useless compared to one electrocute proc or a conqueror you’ll only activate once at the end of the fight at best

worthy spire
#

Bro

#

So in ur opinion

#

U will stack kraken over qnd over again faster than conq?

umbral tusk
#

Conqueror stacks at 6 stacks for bare minimal value due to being ranged

worthy spire
#

3 shots- 1 kraken proc

umbral tusk
#

Kraken provides significant damage throughout the entire game

worthy spire
#

For conq 4 shots+ 2 abilities

umbral tusk
#

I know you’re in MVP guild but please at least make an attempt at basic knowledge

worthy spire
#

I'm not

umbral tusk
#

4 shots 2 abilities by then they’re already dead and your rune isn’t even being used

#

If they aren’t dead you’d kill them by then with kraken

#

So with conqueror you’re throwing any lane trading out the window entirely and are making extremely suboptimal keystone usage for team fights

#

Fleet the only argument that can be made is movement speed but if you have swifties and actual good positioning then even that point is relatively null

#

Electrocute is just a less consistent kraken

worthy spire
#

I speak from experience

umbral tusk
#

So do I

worthy spire
#

Kraken will be useless

#

There's no way it will be better than elec

umbral tusk
#

60% winrate on Jhin in lane for GM+ games last season

#

Guaranteed you haven’t even made an attempt at experimenting with it

#

And if you have you have no actual idea how to utilize it with the champion

worthy spire
#

How many games did u play with kraken

umbral tusk
#

Every game I’ve played of Jhin since krakens release so about 200

#

Works phenomenally every single game

worthy spire
#

So how do u know it's better than conq or elec

umbral tusk
#

Because I tried both of those well before krakens release and conqueror has only ever been nerfed for him

#

Wasn’t viable before the rework

#

Even less viable after it

#

Electrocute only argument that can be made is to improve your ult

#

But if you have to rely on your ult for damage late game as Jhin there’s a problem with play style

cold orbit
#

I mean elec is good level 1-3 and mid game

#

Fleet is generally nice, but kraken scales best with AS so I’ll have to try

umbral tusk
#

Kraken on Jhin scales more with his ad

#

Afaik Jhin without the usage of Yuumi and the exception of Senna has the highest ad potential in the game

#

Doesn't sound like lots but you have to take into consideration it adds significantly more damage to fourth shot since it scales on missing % hp

#

And Kraken will deal more damage immediately before it

#

So you do more damage with 3 shots and more damage with 4 shots using it than any other rune

cold orbit
#

Cool I’ll try it

#

Kraken in my experience is good on Jhin but fleet is just better

#

We just need to wait for PTA

#

Even then fleet will probably be better
