Can Jarvan IV support?

As I see it this guy has about as good utility than Leona, high base damages (he could be fairly effective with only black cleaver for offense.), and he is only a little bit less tanky.

I was thinking a build something like this would work for Jarvan support. item 3071 item 3047 item 3401 item 3190 item 3083 item 2045 Stacking blackcleaver with his innate armor shred on his Q allows for 54% armor shred, he can tank well with his shield and slow, and he can offer an attack speed stim to the ADC. Also his ult is great for securing kills, and the adc can easily shoot in unlike melees who have a problem with his ult.

He's really not as tanky as Leo because his W shield is shit unless you hit all 5 enemies, even then it's not that great/average.

Also, melee tank supps are bad in the current meta.

Also, Leo has a snare and 2 stuns. J4 has an AoE knock up.

I did it yesterday with a similar build and I had the most fun playing support I've had in a while lol

It depends on the matchup, but it can be quite effective with an ADC that's as aggressive as you are. He does get hard countered by champs likeJanna and Alistar
