Buff J4

He deserves some play! My boi Jarven needs a buff. I don't think any ridiculous buff either.

A simple buff to his W (aoe shield) would suffice. In the form of buffing the extra shield per enemy champion he gets, that way he can do his job (diver) and maybe have a chance to live.

His damage and items are great, his kit is great, I don't even have an issue with his ult being so easily escapable, but his shield was not compensated during the damage meta much like Volibear's passive.

also nerf Lulu TO THE GROUND BABY. :P just kidding... she's not played that much.

He’s getting a substantial buff. +5% Attack speed on all ranks of his E, which of course applies double if he’s in range of the flag. +10% Attack speed on an AA-based champion is nothing to sneeze at.

That's cool and all, but his problem is that shield. It does NOT do what it's supposed to do. The boost you get per enemy champion is just so low. I've popped it and gotten all 5 buffs and still get bursted to death. That is not ok.

I play a lot of top lane tank J4, and the shield is only good for the slow and for mitigating poke. Which is all it needs to be used for plus shaving off a bit at the start of a fight, tbh. His power lies elsewhere in his kit.

Agreed, but in this meta get can't exercise that power if he dies before flexing it. I don't see him as bursty, though he has half a burst kit and the rest is auto attacks with his passive. There's a happy medium here being missed.

Buffing his W ever so slightly would allow him to really shine but not so much that he can't be killed.
