I'm loving the support meta shakeup lately. Hopefully this is a sign that the enchanters will disappear for a while. It would also be cool to see more double ADC bot, or a mix up like Karthus+Jhin, Viktor+Ashe, Cassiopeia+Senna, and AD Twisted Fate+AP Miss Fortune.

Great to see another video from you- always have so much fun watching these. But god am I never playing these picks heheh

[@mechadonkykong]

Yes! My favourite off meta pick being covered. Love to finally see this pick getting some attention. Here's the build I made last year for how I play him. For my build, I like to play Jhin as a damage dealing playmaker for my team. I go glacial augment (boots, biscuits and velocity) with transcendence/celerity and scorch as secondary runes. I go with mandate first for the mana regen, Ionian boots for cool down and Zeke's for additional ally damage, even without damage items, Jhin still does pretty good damage this way and can slow people with the W glacial proc. Late game I build crit with essence reveaver being a key components (for it's mana refund) then firecannon/mortal reminder and navori quickblades to finish. Main reason being for the cd is for the trap spamming, which not only grants vision but can even kill enemies if they are unlucky to step on one. And since they last 3 minutes you can spam them in jungle to always know where the enemy team is. You could go full crit like the build above with still building mandate to do good damage, or go lethality if you want glaive for vision denial. But the coverage from your traps alone can go along way if done right and in the right choke points. Also, at level 2, if you take E and go to the enemy's raptors/wolves, you can trap it to see if the enemy jungler is doing a full or quick clear. Giving info to your team what they might be planning. A very useful strat and great for early bush control Iane. By far his most underrated ability.

[@antonioreconquistador]

Old zeke's (gave crit to you and your carry) and frozen mallet (slowed by 20% on auto) bein removed were honestly huge nerfs for ashe and jhin support before they were even popular. I used to go that into tank items into cleaver vs. hard armor and then straighter ad/crit, nowadays mandate is the better choice... Which depending on our comp i can push into tank items or ad items. I feel like jhin support is either really good or really bad though, often lending to shorter, less potent games item-wise. Ive had a few long ones where ive gotten 40-50 assists and 10 kills, 500-600 ad and 4000-5000 health off scaling and cocksteel. As you said, your e is absolutely perfect for bush coverage, if your adc knows what theyre doin more than the enemy, youll pretty much always have better coverage than their lane.

[@mechadonkykong]

Updated build for the Navori crit change: mandate, ionian boots, essence reaver, navori and finish with wardstone for maximum ward potential.

[@CaprielleHarmony]

Man, the way Jhin support opens new bot lane combos kind of reminds me of Senna. This is cool!

[@antonioreconquistador]

Hes like senna who can always have bush vision imo. Scales pretty damn well too

[@CarsFer]

as a support main I can't thank you enough for this video for giving me so much free lp laning against jhin first time supports :D

[@lunahazlewood5443]

I’ve actually been using Jhin support for a while, and I can confirm it’s ridiculously fun and surprising in damage. I usually run Imperial Mandate and lethality items like Seryldas and Umbral that provide a good amount of utility. It’s great for poke and control and can be very potent against a lot of play styles.

[@SDSXellan]

Back then in 2017, I did a support jhin in flex, boy it worked, we won, but seeing this, it feels like my jhin support experience transceded

[@儀水鏡の妖怪霊]

He was always classified both as an ADC and a catcher by Riot's standards. It's funny it took this long for someone to actually try it seriously. ... That also explains why that game where I was playing Seraphine bot a confused Jhin ended up as my support, as he thought he was going to be the ADC. Needless to say, we hardstomped that game. And here I thought it was just a silly game I didn't really need to remember.

[@georgear_rd7494]

To be fair, it requires super meta shifts for these picks to pop up

[@SirPrizeWildRift]

I'm a jihn support since last year, but it's hard since your team hates it.

[@Nightmare-fe9hr]

I play some jhin support, and there is a way to play against tanky pick based supports (blitz, Leona, naut, etc). I take comet, as it gives you better harass, and start trap level 1. Two traps on your ally buff and one on their next camp (raptors or gromp) gives your jungler a fast start. From there, push for umbral glaive as usual, then go imperial mandate, followed by serylda’s grudge. This more utility focused build allows you to do some stupid stuff (don’t level q for example, instead putting most points in w) while giving a moderate damage output from a safe distance, and being loaded with cdr to help peel with trap-w.

[@marixsunnyotp3142]

I build similar but gets destroyed in lane :(, still very fub anyways, any more tips?

[@Nightmare-fe9hr]

@@marixsunnyotp3142 The build has changed up recently. I now go first strike page, start ad supp item and w. Fire 2 blind w's towards enemy buff bushes to try and cheese 27 gold with first strike. Then the build goes tear+long sword or boots on first back, then finish manamune. From here it gets spicy. We build liandrys followed by imperial mandate with cdr boots. Then we go storm razor to capitalize on our high AD and AP. The build gives about 400 AD and 250 AP with tons of CDR. As far as lane goes, it's mostly farming gold with w, placing defensive traps, and walking up to land 4th shots when enemy is on cd. Very easy build to pilot, have fun king

[@jaredangelrio1123]

[@DSCota]

Glad to see fiction get a shoutout. He's my go-to underrated league creator.

[@makarhunter]

Stormrazor into rapid fire into IE is my actual Jhin build, it's time someone has discovered it. In half of the games as Jhin you are either behind the enemy team, or it's too dangerous to go in auto-attacking. In that case you are left with 90 sec cooldown on gameplay (galeforce. But stormrazor+rapidfire is the 2 item spike which always works, because you do a strong auto from a long distance (+240 bonus magic damage from energized effect), and slow guarantees the W. So it's a great catch for the team. The range and AS coversion to MS helps with the kite. 3rd item gives you the damage needed to finish off targets.

this video coming out was only a matter of time i am a jhin main and this seems very fun i was hoping for a big video for jhin sup because it was popping off in videos this pick seems like senna but he can bully more and his scaling is little bit worse but he has a better early game

[@Littlebean-t2t]

It a real shame that when i still played lol properly, a lot of these off-meta builds were viable but unknown, and therefore ppl would flame me to oblivion long before the game even started. Hell, even just picking lux as a support would result in a dodge every 3rd game or so. Although it was rly enjoyable to play quirky champs, either because of their builds or off-lane synergies which simply worked because others wouldn't know how to play against them in that particular situation. Therefore it's very nice to see off-meta being accepted more so by the community then in the past. Just a shame it wasn't like this when i still played, couldn't take my champs to ranked without breaking the teams mental haha.

[@JeeKay1408]

I used Jhin support 5-6 years ago and it's really strong, but use it in master and higher elo like BeryL is so insane

[@antonioreconquistador]

I pay zero attention to korean servers but im so damn glad my idea works for other people lmao. Its great if you need level 7 s's... Vision on a 20ish second cooldown, long range cc that goes perfectly with a kai-sa or a vex, ad that will scale either way. It used to be a lot better with old zekes (gave crit) and frozen mallet (autos slowed by 20% for a second), but it's amazing in cheese comps and range comps in the right matchups.

As someone who mained jhin for years. This is basically how you play jhin adc anyway. Just in low ELO people don't work around traps well and peel. The best part with two ADCs has always been you kill one, no problem the "support" will take over since you wasted 3-4 ults getting the "adc".

So im a fun mix of bad at league, very into jhin, and absolutely unhinged. i had a 100% wr on jhin support for a while last season or so until i ran into a swain blitzcrank bot lane. The thing is, i went glacial augment + imperial mandate to make him well and truly a catcher support. To be fair though, i think the only reason it went so well was because im pretty low level and dont play ranked, so nobody knew what to make of me, but im a jhin one trick so i have a disproportionate amount of knowledge about him than other people my level do.

First off- I love beryl, he's my favourite support. He plays heimer and I love that He plays 'wrong' and wins, completely baiting enemies and winning games alone. It's so so fun to watch. I only mention that he didn't play it first because I watch him so much. If anyone knows the facts then it is me, that's why I'm confident I think you are confused. Beryl picked heimer adc in 2021. Only brought out heimer supp in 2022, after the video(not because of the video, just after) Easy to check his opgg, check his first ever heimer game, check his pro history. But you would rather not and I understand - it's easier to be angry than be wrong Infact in the whole of 2021 - heimer support was picked one time in all pro leagues. It lost and it was not beryl! I never said I inspired him, just that all of us knew heimer support was really good before beryl did. Then he discovered it, likely without my video And no one gives him credit for invention, anyone who saya he invented it is naive. I don't even think he says that
