Please revert/change the J4 nerf.

As a champion that needs to use all his skills to -engage- in a fight (he is melee), it's kind of important that he has a level of natural tankiness to back up his play style.

This isn't an overloaded stat boost/defbuff to an ability (Lee Sin cripple), it's a necessary quality to his kit.

I'd say J4 is particularly balanced but if the meta is saying he's too strong then there are other ways to nerf him, especially without hurting his lane power, which is in a pretty good spot now.

My suggestion would be to take away the attack speed boost on his active. They already took away his armor giving aura for allies, and taking away this would get rid of his ability to throw a flag down somewhere and score instant assists for essentially not doing anything. His team fighting power is what gives him a particularly high win rate, and giving him less of that would nerf his ganking/ team fight power, more than his laneing power, which the armour nerf does.

Another solution would be to give him the same changes he got recently to the twisted treeline and dominion maps. By lowering the armor shredding percentage on his Q.

It just feels weird that after "needing love" in the top lane, they take away his bread and butter stat for dealing with champions that are already good at destroying him top lane. (Riven, Fiora, Panth, Jayce etc)

Please consider this.

Did I miss something? I saw a minor change to his Armor and that was it... was something more done that I missed?

His E no longer gives passive armor. So end game he's down 17 bonus armor

Sounds like a pittance nerf to satisfy the QQ to me. I'll remove my MR runes and put in some Health to keep clears good. Simple.
