It seems like support jarvan should be a thing

He seems to have a lot of things going on for him support, but he isn't seen as one.

  1. his flag is a good adc damage boost that scales as the adc gets items
  2. he has decent engages with flag and drag
  3. he has armor shread on Q
  4. potential for peel and engages with ult
  5. AoE slow
  6. good synergy with support items

Been dabbling with it a bit, and I found some synergies I like.

  1. item 3504 seems odd but works well. You can use it with summon aery, or if you use font of life you do can do your AoE slow and anyone who auto's any of those people get the athenes bonus.
  2. Works well when there are multiple teammates in other lanes who get a large bonus from bonus attack speed MasterYi Tryndamere Trundle Kindred for example
  3. works perfectly fine with support items item 3050 item 3854 item 3190 item 3109

It's not like it's working every game, but nothing ever does. But I think it's better than many people give it credit for.

Don't let anyone realize it's a thing! It's my one sleeper OP pick that no one knows about! D:

Pantheon support with Press the Attack is pretty rad too.

Jarvan was a support at some point before lethality and bruiser items were introduced. That being said, lethality jarvan support is fantastic and lulzy.

Only not a thing because rito removed alot of aoe buffs and The community polices itself calling lots of things trolling which in turn riots bot polices because you get lots of reports. Its been it thing at certain times but its also ususally just destroyed by mages bot who poke him when he eventually engages flashes it then kill him and he cant come back into lane because hes dealing with mixed damage while his enemies are ranged and only dealing with 1 damage type.

I mean there's nothing that bad about it he's just another engage support. He's simply better in the jungle where he can do early ganks and invades.

People were playing around with this a while ago. You would take Aerie and max E. You could put the flag next to an ally and then stand near them for repeated aerie shields. You would - as you say - build Ardent/Zekes. You could also take font of life as another means to proc ardent. At the time it seemed like a legitimate meta contender but then it just... disappeared like a number of other things that never got nerfed.

the only problem is that he's just better elsehwere, and other champions are better as support

jungle morg seems like it should be a thing, but isn't

This is a thing a very niche thing but it's still played sometimes
