full ad jarvan top is disgustingly broken (not salt thread)

(speaking from gold 5) ive played enough jarvan to get level 4 1/2 and honestly i feel like a filthy animal for playing him full ad. he is described as a "single target lockdown disrupting tank" yet if you rush a item 3077 go into a item 3142 if youre against a squishy laner and item 3156 if your against an ap laner or item 3071 against a tank laner (because you will legit snowball so hard onto your laner 90% of games) you can do this AMAZINGLY skillful 10/10 outplay i like to call.... mousing over them pressing e q r and smacking them to death with your stat stick which almost always works unless your against some tanks and maybe graves or riven. shall i give an extremely accurate in depth of how to play jarvan/ what he does? hell yeah i am doing anyway. so what you wanna do is start corrupting pot and longsword against someone really squishy early. proceed to spam q until you have enough for tiamat. preceed to poke them to half life with q and then e q auto (bring tlords so you can e q auto proc tlords) r them for the kill. on the 5% chance you get dicked before you can do this, get a deadmans, build normally, then get a GA. repeat beggining steps until you are fed enough to e q auto r the squishiest enemy in under 2 seconds and kill them. congrats ur a part of my filth club now. and one thing that really doesnt make sense is you will cheese on enemies and kill them in a 10% hp 30% mana to 90% health 60% mana fight sO MUCH AND I REALLY DONT KNOW WHY. Did i mention the buffs they gave jarvan like 6 months ago? no? oh they made his wukong ult sized ulti deal damage TO EVERYONE IN IT, which was definitley needed because you can press e and q to knockup an entire team with ease. so basically if you want free elo just throw away your human dignity and play this adc oneshotting tanky fucklord and kill everyone. <3

He falls off hard.

If he doesn't 1 shot, he gets 1 shot as a full AD. Eventually, you won't be able to 1 shot people anymore. The goal then is to end the game before you can no longer 1 shot people.

item 3074 item 3142 item 3156 item 3147 item 3071 item 3047

You see, my opinion on champions played in the wrong roles just for their strength (Tank Karma for example) is that the issue lies within the player, not the champion itself. Riot can't fix this issue in a satisfactory way; if they nerf Jarvan, I'm willing to bet money that he will become worse in his intended role and then become wildly unpopular overall.

Maybe if people played this game with integrity we wouldn't have issues like this, but that's out of Riot's control. Until then, all they can do is nerf the champion in the most cautious way possible and hope that they will still work efficiently in their intended role.

I'm not saying it's impossible to nerf champions/items in these situations, because sometimes it does work! For example, Tri-force genuinely needs a nerf right now, regardless of player integrity. However, most of the time, there's no ideal solution. I'm sorry you've had to deal with AD Jarvan top; I'm sure it's ludicrous, but I suppose you'll just have to wait it out until something even more broken takes it place.
