Jhin Bot meta analysis (Patch 26.13)

Jhin holds a 49.2% win rate in the Bot role on Patch 26.13, 0.9 points below the Bot role average of 50.1%. That is the 19th highest win rate of 27 Bot champions tracked at Emerald+ this patch. With a 15.2% pick rate (3rd most played in the role) and a 1.2% ban rate, Jhin rarely gets banned, so the pick is almost always available in champion select.

Jhin Bot held steady at C tier through Patch 26.13, with no tier movement since the previous data merge. Stable ratings are a good sign for one-tricks: the play patterns you practice now should keep working next patch. At C tier, Jhin is a mains-only pick this patch: expect to out-knowledge opponents rather than out-stat them.

Champion select decides a lot of Jhin Bot games. The hardest matchups this patch are Senna (46.2% win rate for Jhin) and Jinx (48.0% win rate for Jhin): consider banning one or holding your pick until the opponent locks in. On the other side, Ezreal (51.5%) and Caitlyn (51.3%) are the matchups to look for, where Jhin wins the lane more often than not at Emerald+.

Jhin Bot guide

Jhin ADC is built around Whisper (passive), Dancing Grenade (Q), and Curtain Call (R): Whisper fires at a fixed rate with only four shots, the last a guaranteed crit with bonus execute damage, while Dancing Grenade hits up to four targets and gains damage on each kill, and Curtain Call channels four long-range super shots that stop on the first champion hit.

The build

Rune page: Fleet Footwork, Presence of Mind, Legend: Bloodline, and Coup de Grace (Precision), with Celerity and Gathering Storm (Sorcery). Summoners: Flash and Barrier. Skill order opens Dancing Grenade (Q), then Deadly Flourish (W), then Captive Audience (E), maxing Dancing Grenade (Q) first with Deadly Flourish (W) second. Starter: Doran's Blade and a Health Potion, into Boots of Swiftness. Core build: Hubris, The Collector, and Infinity Edge, with Rapid Firecannon, Lord Dominik's Regards, and Stormrazor as later options.

Ability mechanics

Whisper (passive) fires at a fixed rate and carries only four shots; the final bullet is imbued to critically strike and deal bonus execute damage, and every crit grants a burst of Move Speed. Deadly Flourish (W) fires a single long-range shot that pierces minions and stops on the first champion hit, rooting them if they were recently struck by Jhin or an ally. Captive Audience (E) places an invisible lotus trap that slows and damages enemies who walk over it, and blooms a new trap near a champion Jhin kills.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Senna, Jinx, Kai'Sa, Ashe, Aphelios. Best matchups: Ezreal, Caitlyn, Lucian.
