Why Rell is favored

Rell can close on Jhin with Crash Down(W) and keep him in range with Magnet Storm(R), and either crowd-control hit can interrupt Curtain Call(R). If she times the engage for Jhin's reload, he has even less immediate damage to stop her, which gives Rell a reliable way to dictate the fight.

Measured in High Elo: Rell wins 2.0pp more often than expected over 2,948 games.

How to play as Rell

Look for an engage while Jhin is reloading or starting Curtain Call(R); W can knock him up and R can keep him close while his damage is paused.

Crash Down(W) knocks enemies up and Magnet Storm(R) pulls nearby enemies; either can interrupt Jhin's Curtain Call(R) channel and keep him close.

Jhin's Whisper(P) carries four shots and then requires a reload, creating a brief gap in his basic-attack damage.

How to play as Jhin

Avoid channeling Curtain Call(R) while Rell has W or R available, and keep space during your reload so she cannot start a close-range engage before your next shot.
