Been playing some jarman cow and jarman crank. Pretty hard to itemize against, crank doesn't fall off lategame, and both still kill everyone early game. I'm curious though as to how these combos compare to blitzstar as is.

Ok, just played Jarvan in ranked for the first time because hes awesome. Picked him into an irelia, so not the easiest lane.

I noticed the irelia wasn't being agressive, so from the cloth+pots opening, I went Tabi > Phage > Triforce > HoG > Randuins. I was going to continue on and build a Maw (Karthus and Diana), but the game ended too soon. Went 2/0/3, the two kills from TELEDUNKS on karthus and the three assists in the final teamfight.

Hes really strong, its just a shame is is "countered" by some of the more popular champions right now.

I don't know if that necessarily true, I just don't think he does enough damage for a bruiser until he gets his triforce going. Then again, I have very limited experience with J4

I've always had a hard time against J4 as Vlad.

so recently i started playing j4 as jungle season 3. I started off the season by buying lee sin and jungling with him but was having trouble due to the fact that i would lose significant amounts of health after going for red or blue even with smite. I figured out that pots need to be consumed right after wraiths/wolves(red/blue dependent) and 1-2 more should be consumed after blue/red. Jarvan's ganks are amazing at lvl 2 if you can land his E-Q in top lane especially you are guaranteed first blood for you or your top laner(should be top laner because if jungle gets feed what does it matter really you want top lane to snowball). Back to the point ill post a guide soon enough on my J4 jungle but im feeling as if he is pretty viable S3 jungle. :D

Is Jungle Jarvan still playable?

I've been experimenting a bit, but I really hate the S3 Jungle. Because it's worth even less than the S2 Jungle, if you fall behind, you pretty much faceplant.

I doubt it, without items j4 is just gonna die, atleast take him top so he can get the farm he needs

I think he was played 3 or 4 times today in the Riot S3 Offline Qualifiers. Might wanna check out the builds, seemed pretty strong.

the build most were doing today was pretty straightforward, madred's -> warmog's -> more giant's belt items, but I personally advocate more AD in solo queue games. I'd say you either go spirit stone -> warmog's -> lizard spirit or wriggle's -> phage -> mog's.

I actually think Jarvan has the potential to be super fucking good as a 1v2 laner in competitive play (the efficiency of Dragon Strike as a 1v2 farming skill at low mana cost/CD/high damage is only matched by Olaf's Undertow, and Jarvan is both much harder to dive and stronger on low farm than Olaf is), but that's irrelevant to 99% of peoples' normal experience.

Needs more Locket.
