Did you guys forget J4 is a thing?

With Duskblade nerf Riot buffed every champ that builds it as core... but J4. This champ has gone from 48% win rate last patch to 47, being one of the worst jungler picks right now, yet with one of the highest pick rates. I've been trying so hard to stick to my lovely main instead of being a meta slave, but it's a huge handicap and right now I'm just here spamming Warwick with not even mastery 5 winning pretty much everything. So, did you guys forget about J4, any plans on bringing him back up again? All these item changes make me feel like they're completely rushed or aimed at a bunch of champs and fuck the rest. I don't quite understand.

Edit: I understand some champs are in a much worse spot than J4 but what really bothers me and is the point of this post, which I should've emphasized, is that technically it got nerfed in the previous patch with the Duskblade changes, and I don't understand how Riot would buff most Duskblade users but not J4. And this doesn't just happen to him, there are changes on runes or items that completely forget about the existence of some champs.

Were you talking about the champ that can 100-0 an ADC in less than 1 second while building bruiser even without duskblade? J4 is out of meta for what? 2-3 patches? Nidalee has been out of meta for seasons. If any champ should get Riot love nip, it should be nid.

They shouldn't have nerfed J4 earlier this season (rather, nerf duskblade sooner).

He didn't need dusk blade compensation. J4 should be balanced as a bruiser/tank (like how the pros play him, since they'll play him like that regardless of his damage), not as an assassin (which is how he played best in solo queue).

The duskblade nerfs would benefit the balance state of J4, but they should be giving him back his armor and/or the base damage on Q / percent on passive that he lost when he was 100% pick/ban at worlds, rather than giving him scaling damage related to duskblade.
