Jarvan's W Rework Idea

I had an idea i thought was worth talking about for J4's W. The ability has a nice concept (stronger when near more enemies, promoting his all in style) but the ability itself is basic, and boring.

Forget what you know about the old w. Now, this ability has 2 charges. when the ability is cast it will grant J4 a **small **shield (no aoe slow or shield increase). casting the ability will give J4 a buff called "Empowered Aegis" that lasts for 1 second.

once "Empowered Aegis" ends the W CD is halved use this to reduce damage from poke, as the ability will be up often

If J4 casts his w (second charge) while he has the buff he will remove the buff (preventing the CD reduction), and gain a larger shield, aoe slow, and more shielding per person near him. (just like his old w, but for a larger value)

NOTES: The idea behind this is to give J4 more decision making. press w once to block minor damage. use 2 charges at once to gain a massive shield (only when near enemies) and slow opponents. of course casting the W 2 times for the large shield will have a down side, you wont have any charges on you're w and you don't gain the CD reduction either. putting emphasis on decision making and making sacrifices.

Tell me what you think, and thanks for your time! < 3

(W) Empowered Aegis

  • Grant Jarvan IV a small shield, if cast again within 1 second the shield is increased. If not cast again half the cooldown is refunded.

It would help mitigate poke.

Problem is Jarvan has to walk a fine line between damage and tankiness, and his lane opponent can push him out of lane if theu are ranged. At least in my experience. I really need to improve my laning with J4.
