This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Sona.

Is Jhin better when played alongside Sona?

There is no ideal champion pairing for Jhin that will always be his best ally. Yet, overall, Sona is a very typical ally for Jhin. By locking into the same side as Jhin, she drops their win rate by -0.7% to 50.3%. This demonstrates that there is only a small bond between Jhin and Sona that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Sona has a lower difficulty than Jhin. That means Jhin players don't need to be careful when finding Sona allies to play with, as they will need a lower level of skill to fight well with you.

Fighting together, Jhin players should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. Combined, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by aligning Jhin and Sona together, you probably will not be providing your team much engage. Make sure to have other champs on your team that fills this relative hole in their potential.

Regardless of the skill of your Sona ally, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
