Samira vs Jhin Matchup Summary

The Samira vs Jhin matchup is a moderate matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 265 recent matches analyzed, Jhin wins with a 51.7% win rate compared to Samira's 48.3%, giving Jhin a 3.4 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Jhin controls the early laning stage, but Samira outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Jhin needs to press advantages before Samira reaches their power spikes, while Samira should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Jhin leads by 0.9s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. While Jhin is slightly favored, Samira can absolutely win this lane through smart trading patterns and wave management. Focus on playing around your cooldowns, conceding CS only when necessary, and capitalizing on Jhin's mistakes. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Farming
6.3Samira
6.1Jhin
Samira and Jhin farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.2 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
926Samira
843Jhin
Samira heavily out-damages Jhin by 83 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Jhin should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Samira's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
14,732Samira
13,742Jhin
Samira generates a commanding 990 more gold per game than Jhin. This substantial economic advantage means Samira consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game. Jhin should focus on cost-effective item choices and avoid unnecessary deaths to prevent falling further behind.
Utility
0.1Samira
1.0Jhin
Jhin brings significantly more crowd control than Samira, with 0.9 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Jhin far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Samira should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
913Samira
532Jhin
Samira vastly out-sustains Jhin, healing and mitigating 381 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Samira can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Jhin is forced to recall.

Jhin dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 55.5% win rate — a 10.9 percentage point lead over Samira. This lopsided early game means Jhin can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Late game (25+ minutes) is equally balanced, with Samira at 51.0% win rate — only 1.9 points ahead of Jhin. Team fight execution and macro play determine the winner at this stage, not champion matchup advantage.

The power dynamics shift as the game progresses — Jhin has the edge early, but Samira gradually takes over. However, the margins are slim enough that either champion can win at any stage with the right plays. Focus on taking advantages when you have them rather than waiting for a specific game phase.
