League of Legends Reveals Latest Marksman Jhin

The latest marksman of League of Legends has arrived on set, and he's quite a stylish guy. Meet Jhin the Virtuoso who packs a 4-chamber revolver named "Whisper" and also brings a new style of AD Carry gameplay to the rift. Whisper adds a reloading and "make every shot count" mechanic to his gameplay as Jhin may only fire four times before reloading—and due to this fact his itemization can be a bit confusing. To maintain this gameplay mechanic Jhin doesn't gain attack speed and instead gains bonus attack damage from attack speed and critical chance through items.

After the slight bit of confusion with his itemization, his other abilities are quite straightforward. His Q throws a bouncing canister projectile that bounces between targets, his W is a long range linear skillshot that deals damage and roots enemies afflicted by his attacks or his allies, and his E is an invisible trap that creates a slowing zone that explodes later for damage. His ultimate ability Curtain Call raises the curtain onto a wide stage that allows him to fire four bullets at extremely long range with the final shot dealing increased damage and landing a critical strike.

Its quite refreshing to see League of Legends churning out some interesting character kits... now if only they could slow down on changing the rest of the game every couple months.
