SKT T1 Jhin

Picked up SKT T1 Jhin from a chest last week and honestly wasn't expecting much since I'm usually running Dark Cosmic or High Noon. After around 35 games though, this skin's grown on me in ways I didn't see coming. The red and gold aesthetic hits different when you're popping off in teamfights, and there's something satisfying about repping Bang's championship legacy from 2016.

The W feels noticeably cleaner compared to base Jhin, especially when you're trying to root someone through minions for a gank setup. Your Q bounces have this crisp sound that makes CS'ing more satisfying, though I think Dark Cosmic still wins for pure audio feedback. But where this skin really shines is the ult. The curtain call overlay is less cluttered than PROJECT, giving you better visibility for those crucial dragon fight snipes. Last night I caught their fed Kai'Sa trying to recall behind baron pit because I could actually see her outline clearly through the ult interface, something that's tilted me on other skins before.

Is SKT T1 Jhin worth it compared to other Jhin skins? For 1350 RP it's probably not your first choice if you're buying directly. The recall animation where he sits on the throne is insane, but it lacks the transforming gun from High Noon or the cosmic effects from Dark Cosmic. This is purely cosmetic, no pay-to-win advantages despite the cleaner animations. My experience with SKT T1 Jhin has been surprisingly positive though. If you already own the flashier options and want something clean that won't distract during intense games, or if you're completing the World Champions 2016 set, it's definitely worth considering.
