Read from Twitch's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Jhin.
This is Twitch's own plan; across 20,573 pooled games the lane is leaning Twitch.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Jhin | At level 1 Jhin's fourth-shot crit wins the opening auto exchange outright. |
| Level 2 | Jhin | At level 2 his Deadly Flourish root shuts down your Ambush walk-up. |
| Level 3 | Jhin | At level 3 his ranged fourth-shot burst still beats your unstacked poison. |
| Levels 4-5 | Jhin | Through levels 4-5 his W lockdown and crit poke keep you off the wave. |
| Level 6 | Twitch | At 6 your Spray and Pray ult and poison burst out-damage his Curtain Call poke. |
| First item | Twitch | With your first item your sustained DPS overwhelms his reload-locked burst. |
| Two+ items | Twitch | By two-plus items your stealth flank punishes his no-mobility rooted ult. |
Levels 1-4 belong to Jhin — his fourth-shot crit and Deadly Flourish root out-trade you at range, so you cannot walk up to auto and must last-hit behind minions to dodge his W lockdown. You cannot walk up while his fourth round is chambered, so last-hit from range and take stacks during the reload only. Venom Cask covers his root setup. Ward the ground his flower would want, and let your first item rather than a lane trade be the thing that changes the matchup.
