Jarvan IV kills you dead from 100 to 0!
Why does Assassin Jarvan IV kill people dead from 100 to 0?
Isn't that something we don't want to see happen? Something that requires appropriate trade off's of CC's or other such abilities? You don't see Zed altering Terrain do you? Does Leblanc knock up the team as she dashes onto someone?
Now, I'm not saying I think Jarvan IV has a stupid kit. It's rather absurd sure, but it's pretty reasonable....at times.
I mean, why does he have 26% Armor shred in his kit? Is it to confuse people who try to build armor to defend themselves? That's not gonna work punk! Between that 26% and that Last Whisper, good luck building against it! Some people might build health, but that just might put them behind on various other defenses or builds they might want. Say, if they're facing a multitude of BotRK's.
It's just... Jarvan IV's kit is obviously made for Tanking damage and disrupting enemies, and he will always be able to do this! So....why is he capable of killing people with all the Damage amplification? His ultimate has a High Physical base damage and scales rather well, it's point and click and creates a massive Arena in which to trap players in. Perhaps they build armor? TOO BAD PUNK, IT'S SHREDDED BEFORE JARVAN DECIDED TO JUMP ON IN!
I hear people talk about how Jarvan IV and Lee Sin have incoming nerf's due to how they are so good at everything, but I feel like complaining now. Even when Jarvan IV is on my team it feels stupid. He's contributing more CC than half a cast of supports, contributes more damage than any Tank Jungler pick you could bring out, and holds enough mobility to out play your friendly neighborhood assassin.
He even gives team wide Aura's that grant him easy assists! Do you know how damn hard it is to get an assist on some champions? Olaf has to hit a skinny long range skill shot, Trundle has to use his primary CC from far away, Jax/Darius/Rengar/Shyvana/Udyr have to actually be in the fray and dish out some assist worth Damage.
Jarvan's all "I'ma clear mah Crows! Oh looky there I got an assist! I'm sure glad my Mid stood near'enuf to my Crows that they accidently had my Flag buff for a few seconds! I can't wait until I fail at team fights and just Dash in, miss my Knock up and Die before I do anything! Even if that happens, my Flag sure did help the team, I deserve those assists!"

. Now, tell me again how is this type of "tankiness" even effective, similar to how J4 has natural armor when he can build pure AD?
