Why is Jhin played with Doran's Ring nowadays?

Asked by polishrandom on August 5, 2017

When I've come up against Jhins in Gold 5 I've found many playing Doran's ring on him and I'm quite curious why, if someone would consider answering me that would be awesome

Hey Polishrandom! It's mainly for the first minutes of the game and for the mana sustain. If you get every cs in a wave it gives you 24 Mana what's half of your grenade cost. You can push like crazy with it and spam your abilities, which is important with Jhin because of his passive. Apart from all of this scales with the 60% of your ap damage, so, you can spam and do more damage. isn´t the only champion (ADC) that starts with in this meta but the most popular. Is viable too with and .

Thanks for the response :)

Hi there,

The dorans ring is mostly used on Lethality jhin, since Lethality is the new way of playing Jhin.
The reason of picking up dorans ring is as being said before; More spells.
basically you're playing caster jhin.
your early is weaker in my opinion. but you can spam your abilities more.
i personally still prefer the blade. it gives you way better sustain health wise.
when you get a dorans ring, your weak spot is trading. since you lose your flat damage and lifesteal.

Goodluck on finding your sweet spot! (TAKE THE BLADE :3)
