Jarvan Ult Update

Before getting into this lets get some ground points out of the way; J4 damage is great, always has been always will be, he is afterall the original dunk master. Now his damage here isn't the issue, the issue is a season one champs kit, primarily ult, not being relevant in the ever changing meta and pace of league. When J4 came onto the scene mobility wasn't an overly common aspect of the game, fast forward 5 seasons and almost every meta champion has a dash. J4 ult used to be a prison, him and an enemy stuck inside to fight it out, now more times then not its a sad j4 sitting in his ult as a lucian, quinn, kindred, vayne, ekko, ahri, caitlin, well most champions who are played in the meta just laugh their way out of.

So why not give j4 the veiger treatment and let only "flash" style moves be able to escape, I mean even poppy's w is more of an "impassable terrain" right now then jarvans ult. How can terrain be "impassable" when most champions can get out of it with ease without even having to worry about their flash being up? His flag combo is already extremely predictable, and to have an ult that usually leaves just you inside of it what's the point? I'm not even going to touch his W which is already sub par to begin with but at least let his ult match it's definition in truly being "impassable".

Bah. Jarvan might use a buff, but not to his ult. Its still a gap closer and big nuke and used properly its a flash or death sentence.

Buff his late game tankiness - his W. The loss of the armor on his flag is showing.

Quinn can't jump over walls with her E

I think all he needs is a bit of a late game boost. Currently he's still strong early but as soon as lategame hits, so long as he isn't crazy fed, I just don't care about him. He's not that tanky and his damage really falls off. Up his tank a bit.

there is a reason i go attack speed with him and damage. always max the e first, why you ask so the cds to his e and q match each other. i get it this makes him squishy however not when he can back door faster then 4 people put together and also when he can combine flash eq and ult from tier 1 mid turret to the enemy tier one mid turret. impressive!. this is more of a assassin j4 build and it does work and people hate rengar and thinks renagr does damage pff j4 combos has less cd therefore is better to abuse. i will say this yes you are squishy and yes i do believe his ult should change to a vieger style prison why not. seeing that more often then not i have to burn flash and my ult to do this and its a extreme annoyance when they just dash out of it. whether i go j4 supp or j4 jungle or j4 top i have to max the cd to be able to make his ult more spammable.
