In the matchup data documented in Rift Lab, these are the harder matchups for Jhin: Draven (Dragon / ADC), Samira (Dragon / ADC), Lucian (Dragon / ADC), Caitlyn (Dragon / ADC), Tristana (Dragon / ADC), Kalista (Dragon / ADC). This is a documented matchup list, not a win rate: TheNexus does not publish win-rate or pick-rate figures it cannot source.
Riot's ability text for Jhin describes crowd control (a stun, root, knock-up, pull or similar) in Deadly Flourish (ability 2). Plan around those abilities before a trade or a fight. These notes are keyword matches over the ability text only, not a rating of how strong Jhin is, so read the full descriptions on this page.
The Nexus-reviewed core build for Jhin, in purchase order: The Collector then Magnetic Blaster then Lord Dominik's Regards then Infinity Edge then Bloodthirster then Gluttonous Greaves + Galeforce. Runes: Dark Harvest, Brutal, Cut Down, Legend: Alacrity, Celerity. Situational swaps: against enemy healing: Mortal Reminder; against enemy crowd control: Quicksilver; against enemy burst: Guardian Angel. This is a reviewed snapshot (patch 7.2b), not a build ranked by win rate.
Jhin is a Marksman and Mage by Riot's classification and is played in Dragon / ADC. Riot rates the difficulty Medium. On our tier-list snapshot (patch 7.2b) it shows S tier from its external source, which is a snapshot letter and not a TheNexus win rate.
Every answer here is built from Rift Lab data and Riot's own ability text. Where the data is missing we say so instead of guessing.
