Courtesy: na.leagueoflegends.com

I can say that this Patch 8.16 notes has no huge effect with Jhin. But the most important here is the advantages and disadvantages, which you consider carefully so that you can make a sensible decision. (content source: na.leagueoflegends.com)

Important Updates for Jhin build:
1. Heal
2. Celerity
3. Leona & Tahm Kench as support
4. Advantage on champions nerfs
5. The burst runes decreased

HEAL - Cooldown decreased. (SUMMONER SPELLS)

"In patch 8.6, Heal was crowding out other options in mid lane, so we lengthened its cooldown. This pushed both marksmen and mid laners onto teleport (which has had a much more notable impact on the meta), so we're reverting the Heal nerf. COOLDOWN 270 seconds ⇒ 240 seconds"

CELERITY (BURST RUNES)

"Movement speed conversion into adaptive stat decreased. ATTACK DAMAGE 9.6% bonus movement speed ⇒ 6% bonus movement speed ABILITY POWER 16% bonus movement speed ⇒ 10% bonus movement speed"
