How to Play with Bard as Jhin in LoL
The Jhin Bard synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Bard, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Jhin sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Bard. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Bard helps Jhin perform not as well in competitive League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is only marginal.
When Jhin tries to synergize with Bard, he observes a barely noticable drop in his full damage dealt. This may signal that Bard does not help cover for him to dish out more damage or that his presence also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Jhin is played alongside Bard on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Bard. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Bard.
Additionally, when Jhin plays with Bard on the same side, he on average takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may mean that Bard does a decent job of protecting Jhin in team fights.

Bard has a greater difficulty than Jhin. That means you need to be careful when lining up Bard allies to play with, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.
Playing alongside, Jhin players should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
Conversely, by grouping Jhin and Bard together, you may not be providing your team much tankyness. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that helps cover this hole in their abilities.
Regardless of the ability of your Bard ally, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
