How is Jarvan (Assassin style) mid?

sounds idiotic but knowing this game it would likely work lol.

try it and let us know.

Reading these comments and noticing their accounts probably just aren't old enough for them to have seen Jarvan mid when that was viable.

It's totally fine. AD Jarvan's damage is high and dangerous to squishies, making him an okay Assassin. His innate bulkiness lets him handle the Burst power that is common in Mid. Unlike other Assassins, him falling behind and relying on a Tank Build is a viable strategy rather than a funny gimmick. If you know how to play Jarvan and if you know how to play a melee mid laner, he's a good pick.

Pros: extremely efficient versus ranged squishies Godlike roams 100-0 burst combo includes uncleansable hard cc
730 range knockup that can be used when rooted free assists with e

Cons: melee ranged wave clear no magic damage poor sustained damage extremely underwhelming versus fighters and tanks needs to snowball to 100-0 needs to build full damage

jarvan is not an assassin style mid

He's just a fighter/jungler who does just as well as any fighter/jungler mid. He will do alright at some points but then will fail if the enemy laner does anything other than mindlessly push the lane which is more or less what you want to force them to have to do.
