Riot, I believe that Jarvan is a tad on the strong side, even with his ult glitches.

Are there any plans on fixing his ult, and if so, what are the plans on balancing him based on that?

Jarvan is probably the strongest jungler at the moment, at least in Solo Queue. He has a 1500 range initiate with E+Q -> R which is extremely hard to prevent, even with a decent ward coverage. He scales pretty well into late game as well, which leaves him very few weak points throughout the game.

He needs nerfs, that's for sure.

Absolutely. I'm speaking as a Jarvan main, not as a complaining kid. He needs nerfs but I think the problem with nerfing Jarvan is that there isn't much you can nerf. Numbers don't really do anything. His ult could HEAL the target and it still would be one of the best ults in game.

You can already tune down a bit the E + Q range combo, both spells have weird ranges (770 & 830). First of all, the flag range should match the Q range to avoid confusion, so let's say we put both at 750 range. That's not much, but it's a start.

His ultimate actually lasts 3.5 freaking seconds, reduce duration to 3 seconds.

That's two changes that will change how well he can initiate and maintain people aground.

He'll still be strong for sure.

I'm not really comfortable nerfing his ultamate's duration, perhaps make his flag range 780 and his poke range 770. He needs that range in order to be relevant laning. His ultimate's range should go down though, maybe 600 or 575 range on the leap. Keep in mind changing ranges on dashes is risky, I would be totally lost if both skills were changed all the way down to 750.

625 range on his Ultimate might seem high, but you have to figure that it is the same range as Annie's Q if you want a good comparison, and people complain that Annie has range limitation problems.

With a 750 range on both spell you still have a 1375 range initiate (not counting flash), which is insane still.

It's cool that lane Jarvan is a thing, but I feel that the abuse power his dashes provide as a Jungler have to be toned down in some way.

625 is the range of Annie's autos, which is really far. Not her Q's, which are 475 I believe. Do you want to revise your statement at all?
