J4 can be used for support if you add some scaling.
Im going to keep it short and sweet. J4 can be played top, jungle, and mid (rarely) in summoners rift. I believe if J4 W/shield would scale with AP, it could open up some new game play for him. His E poke would be stronger and when he goes in the shield will keep him alive longer. Just an idea for an old school champ.
