Jhin vs Ezreal

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Jhin's fourth-shot punishment against Ezreal's last-hit approach under minion cover.
Jhin wins short trades with burst and root follow-up, while Ezreal favors poke and kiting for extended fights.
Hold the wave thin to maximize (Q) bounce angles and force Ezreal to step out for CS, exposing him to punishment.

Trading pattern

Punish Ezreal's last-hit attempts when fourth shot is ready and enemy support cannot immediately punish.
Use (Q) bounce through low-health minions to hit Ezreal stepping forward for CS.
Hold (W) for targets marked by support CC or trap damage to secure roots and burst trades.

Danger windows

Avoid trades when (E) is available, as he can reposition to dodge follow-up and punish.
Beware stepping into enemy support's engage range or brush control, which can enable quick counter-trades.
Do not trade when fourth shot is spent and Ezreal's support can force extended DPS fights during your reload.

Early game

Use the first three waves to keep the wave thin and bait Ezreal into last-hitting near low-health minions.
At level 2, coordinate with support to root marked targets with (W) after poke or CC.
Avoid pushing hard early to limit (Q) poke angles and reduce his dash escape windows.

Power spikes

Fourth shot ready: enables direct last-hit punish and burst trades, forcing Ezreal to give up low-value CS.
Level 6: (R) provides long-range execute and objective zoning to punish Ezreal's predictable retreats.
First completed damage item: strengthens fourth-shot threat, making Ezreal avoid one-for-one auto trades.

Win conditions

Convert fourth-shot punishments into health leads, forcing Ezreal recalls or lost plates.
Use traps and (R) to zone Ezreal during dragon setups and objective fights.
Maintain wave states that maximize (Q) bounce damage and root setups to control lane tempo and teamfight access.
