Wat? Why? He's a solo que monster.

He feels pretty frail some times. He absolutely needs farm to get tanky. If you fall behind as j4. All your good for is cataclysm then you die.


So you are saying he is not tanky when yo don't build him tanky? Well yea, that's why you build him (and pretty much every other "meta" jungle) tanky. He has great built in armor scaling with his E, kicks ass off tanky builds (locket, bullwark, etc), insane range, great cc, a sick passive, armor shred, and a team attack speed aura.

If you are building J4 un-tanky you are doing ti wrong, most of my J4 games end with 250+ armor, 150~ MR, and 3k~ health, not frail at all.

Do you really think I'm this stupid? My point was that he needs a lot off farm to get tanky. His defensive steroids feels pretty weak in comparison to some of his counter parts.

I feel like J4 you need to farm your ass off or else get kills to stay relevant, and I see that happen even in LCS games. J4 that's ahead tends to stay ahead because he can just ult anybody and duel them inside the arena, but if he's behind he ults and gets focused immediately and blows up.

He does have extremely good presence though, has good dueling and very good ganks.

wei2coolman is right, you do have to farm alotlotlotlot as Jarvan in order not to explode in teamfights.
I agree with Teut, the Flag CD is very long and while +3 armor and +3/6% attack speed is nice, the increased damage and lower cooldown of Jarv's Q is usually (always?) superior.

His early ganks are incredibly scary, one of his biggest strengths.

Once you get locket + razor you are pretty beefy as is.

To get all the stats it provides.

Just checked too, it's not just me: http://www.lolpro.com/guides/jarvan-iv/237-jarvan-build-guide-jungle-by-crumbzz


Edit: Since when has J4 required a lot of farm? Did I miss something in the last week with J4? One of his strengths is he does very well with little gear. Locket + Razor + Merc Treds and you pretty beefy. What am I missing here? Because everything being said at the moment goes totally against what has made J4 great since the start of S3, how did it all change in less than a week?

Locket and razor are fine for midgame. But the biggest issue is getting enough farm to stay tanky enough towards late game.

Jarvan's baseline survivability is actually quite mediocre for a champ of his role.It's not so much that his base armor/armor growth are lower than average for melees to counter-balance Demacian Standard. Your armor IS more or less the same as other melees even with the first rank of Standard, and is somewhat higher with Standard maxed, and then tapers off to be about the same as other champs at level 18.

What is unimpressive about Jarvan's survivability is his mediocre base HP. His base HP is somewhere in the middle for the entire champ pool (and well below average for a frontline melee), and while his HP growth is above average, it's still not impressive for a frontliner.

That's a good point, the new Crest of the Ancient Golem is getting rushed more often than Locket so they might as well build Spirit Stone instead of Razor.

Or the Lizard Elder, he has acceptable AD scaling. He also had large mana problems.

If you want a jungler that doesn't need a lot of farm, go for a jungler who initiates from distance, not by jumping in (for example Sejuani or Nautilus).

Razor is pretty good if you fall behind o get buffjacked. It sets you back in gold and is not nearly as good as other jungle items, but at least it keeps you up in xp.

Don't you just get one shotted?I've seen a lot of people try it in solo q and then they just in fights super fast.At least they farm really fast with it I guess.

Well yeah you farm with it faster and you don't necessarily need to be the initiator in the early midgame. Fights just happen, from ganks or otherwise, you can afford to play more assasiny for a bit.

So, how long until people realize that Ez is first pick/ban material in soloqueue with blue build? He already gets picked in every game, but people still don't ban him for some reason.

because more than half the time people don't understand why its strong and either don't take advantage of it or can't farm enough to not fall behind

I always maxed E first on jarvan, although that was before they removed his E aura.
