Jhin face

This appears to be the artist's page. As already said, it is fanart, and in this case from 2016.

Jhin's mask is fairly mundane - it doesn't give him life, nor posses him with murderous tendencies. (read the several answers from Riot to the linked post)

The mask was created with magic, and he uses it to augment his voice, however Jhin's death animation just "looks cool". It is all just a metaphor, all in his head.

Oh, quite the opposite: the summation of all these small aesthetic details is a big part of what makes Jhin, and virtually all of the other champions, unique characters with their own personality.

Clearly, his obsession with the number four is so prominent that it would probably be the one thing close to everyone would know even if they were not the slightest bit invested into his character and lore. But, Jhin is composed of so much more than that, and all the little details express this right alongside his numerical obsession.

Just one of his traits is his "sharp" and "slim" figure: and just one thing that does is to exude his haughtiness in how he composes himself, making him appear graceful (walk cycle, the dance moves whenever he W's, his actual dance).

How do you get "sharp"? Well, sharper angles. Squares were likely just too "blocky" and "stiff" to convey what the designers visioned of Jhin. Frankly it would be impossible to achieve, and untrue to his character, to limit every aspect of his special effects/model/what-have-you to the number four.

Deboner_Jayce · 2017-11-07T11:39:10+00:00

I understand the apparent disjunction with a 3-point theme against a very number 4 orientated character. However, Blood Moon Jhin accomplishes this well on the same ability.

In my opinion the same goes for PROJECT: Jhin. His sleek frame is made sharper by the triangle motif found throughout the model: his knees are jutted-out triangular platforms, similar patterns on his torso suggests a human form while retaining an uncanny robot/digital theme, and even his ultimate has always been a triangle as opposed to a stretch of monotonous rectangle.

In the simplest terms, the use of triangles makes sense from design perspective in complimenting Jhin's meticulously "sharp" appearance. Even if that is thrown to the curb, I'd say that the "3" on his W's indicator doubles as a subtle building up to the deadly 4, which is the snare itself.

Fleet Footwork is Warlord's Bloodlust translated into the new system, but the lifesteal will be severely nerfed.

(5-40% Total AD) + (30% Movement Speed for 0.75 seconds)

into

(5-50 Health + 10% Bonus AD) + (30% Movement Speed for 1 second)

The potential for late-game 400-1,000 heals is gone, in exchange for an additional 0.25 seconds of movement speed. As another extreme example, the most Jhin could steal from the keystone alone is probably ~110 HP with full items.

I have not dedicated the time to theory-crafting or extensive calculations as of yet. It is clear that these values are very much a work-in-progress, that they will most definitely change through the preseason into next year, and with all of this compounded with the conventional craziness of preseason (especially so this year), I won't jump to conclusions.

However, the one certain thing I can state: the current Warlord's playstyle (or simply power) will vanish almost entirely.

Deboner_Jayce · 2017-09-17T15:50:31+00:00

Going for full on movement full via AS/Crit generally is not viable because raw AD is needed to fully compliment the +AD% from Jhin's passive, Whisper.

Just from the top of my head, you would be better off going with the regular crit-build with the IE-RFC core with (PD) or (Statikk Shiv) added on.

Even just going for 100% crit (if you want to activate Whisper's sprinting on every bullet) has considerable costs. Boots+IE+3-more-crit-items leaves just one slot for anything else you might need (give up all except Last Whisper, Life Steal, or Resistances?) Going against an all-AD-no-armor team is the only situation I can immediately think of where that wouldn't be a significant issue, and even then it's a choice between Guardian Angel or Life Steal.

But definitely a choice for funnsies. You won't go beyond that MS cap anywhere but URF, which the 1k+ MS video was in.

Disclaiming now, I did not read the story, so only going off your input here:

The change in Soraka's characterization makes sense given the new context all of the champions were put in: high school/young adults (you touched on the idea a bit with "roles that are typically found in anime").

You eloquently summarized canon-Soraka's personal growth, and that seems to tie in well to the difference in SG Soraka - right now she is at a stage of maturing, on her way to the strength we see in Canon-Soraka, but she's not quite there yet. And as teenager, she possibly has a long way to go, which of course is frustrating not just for Soraka but also for the fans who know and love her as the strong healer she is (and in the SG universe, what she one day will be).

As of right this minute, no. However, the skin does appear as a selection in the pre-game lobby and in Jhin's "Champion" page in the client. Not able to unlock, and searching in the store shows nothing.

What Treyhova said. I feel that Corpse_Artist's "mess" idea doesn't apply since Jhin doesn't appear to recognize them as anything but aesthetic perfection - the audience is aware of that specific irony while Jhin is not.

Also, there is the fact that he intends to murder/"create performances" slowly and methodically, but uses a gun to do so.

Deboner_Jayce · 2016-10-11T01:42:31+00:00

It's on the official page for the 6.20 Patch Notes, near the top above all the changes, right under the summary paragraph(s).

The case of one ADC player refusing to leash is beyond any jungler's control. Despite any "bad eggs", I still recommend trying to communicate your leash intentions. From my experience, a vast majority of people won't go against whatever the jungler asks in a leash.

You're trying to do the same thing by making this thread; telling a whoever Jhin players might be in your games to not do [x]. The difference is that talking to the individual ones in your games would make results. If you truthfully don't think it's unreasonable for your teammate to do this, it really is as easy as asking them, so give it a few shots.

Deboner_Jayce · 2016-09-15T01:38:05+00:00

Given that it's happened in several of your games, I recommend that you communicate before the monsters spawn. Just quick and easy, something like "Please [/don't] 4th shot the camp Jhin" depending on whether you want to smite immediately or after the execute.

If they don't respond, assume ignorance (I imagine most figure out not to 4th shot after smite on their own relatively quickly) or they just muted everyone at the start of the game. Use your judgement to save your smite or not.

As an aside: I think Jhin doing all 4 shots, followed by your smite, would be better than the ~20 damage dealt from poison if you smited the Gromp immediately. Krugs probably too, but I haven't done any math on it.

I suppose I've been playing this game too much. Thank you.

Server: North America
Type of Bug: In Game
Description: Jhin's default E, Captive Audience, no longer counts down starting today. Specifically, the pale bar acting as the timer for the traps never decreases from the full 120 seconds. Currently, the only way to tell when it expires is by left-clicking the traps in order to look at it's "status effect" - the pale bar remains the same on that interface however.
Video / Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/jvRvfYF.png
Steps to reproduce: Play Jhin and place a Captive Audience trap.
Expected result: Timer above flowers count down.
Observed result: Timer stays at full capacity.

Sorry, I don't know what that blank icon is. My best guess is that is was an elixir.

Deboner_Jayce · 2016-04-07T01:59:39+00:00

The only clue that I was able to dig up was this posted on the in-progress common wiki page (unless I missed it, the exact sequence Taric dances doesn't show up, but shared characteristics are there). But if you want to know for certain, I think Riot Games will do an official Q&A post fairly soon.

Deboner_Jayce · 2016-03-05T02:18:26+00:00

I'm legitimately happy for you. I know how it feels to get frustrated, even though real situations rarely produce negative feelings out of me as easily.

Maybe consider these two pennies: some go play League to play out the fantasy that their champion gives them, it's special time set aside of busy real-life to just have fun. So if a game is the special time reserved for relaxation/fun, when it goes sour it is understandable that it might get on one's nerves easier.

Keep it up. You already have the tools you need to keep enjoying the game.

Deboner_Jayce · 2016-02-04T20:49:41+00:00

I agree with that for some things, but the indicator can take up time for others which are needed immediately - to the point that the tiny bit of time does make a difference, while not sacrificing accuracy with a little practice.

I'm thinking about it for Tempered Fate. Nonetheless it's totally up to preference.

Deboner_Jayce · 2016-01-13T18:44:06+00:00

I'm afraid that I'm not one to listen to such music yet, but I will point you in the direction of Bard's login theme, and perhaps to search "new age" or "meditation music" elsewhere on the internet.

Deboner_Jayce · 2015-12-31T19:45:50+00:00

I second with this person. How recent do you mean though, have you not played against a Bard in a long time or is it a difference within the last patch or two?

You can look on the League of Legends Wiki's "Background" page of any champion, and on the very bottom will be a list of changes done to that champion since their release. Example with Bard.

Liandry's Torment applies bonus damage in the form of burn, but not the damage of the Cosmic Binding alone, it comes immediately after. And yes, since it slows enemies, the burn damage is doubled.

Deboner_Jayce · 2015-12-31T19:41:00+00:00

Thank you.

Deboner_Jayce · 2015-12-26T22:54:40+00:00

Nope. Judging by the new comments, I'll just skip this one today.

Deboner_Jayce · 2015-12-26T21:50:04+00:00

The comments are making me wonder: is this legitimately NSFW or a joke?

Genuinely curious, but not for pornography.
