How to beat Jhin as Ashe: the early game

Jhin out-damages you at 1-3 with fourth-shot crits and W root; don't sit in his Q-bounce range, use Volley to contest CS and trade only when his abilities are down. Count his shots. On the fourth he is locked into an animation with a long reload, and that is when Volley plus a slow-walk beats him outright. Deadly Flourish only roots you if something else slowed you first, so break the chain by never eating his Q bounce and his support's poke in the same beat.
