JarvanIV: Quinn, would you step into my throne room, please? I have a question I must ask you.

Quinn: Of course, your Highness. How may I serve you?

JarvanIV: Now, correct me if I am wrong, Quinn, but I have been a fair and loyal prince throughout my years.

Quinn: There is no doubt about that, your Highnes-

JarvanIV: Since my induction as General, my only thought has been to serve the Demacian people.

Quinn: Of course --

JarvanIV: Yet, on the eve of Warring Kingdom's five-year anniversary, I have yet to receive so much as a wink or nudge from the Riot Skins Team.

Quinn: Oh, so we're breaking the fourth wall now --

JarvanIV: Take that in, Quinn. It has been nearly five grueling years since Warring Kingdoms, when I braved henceforth upon my steed into the burning flames of international war.

Quinn: Doesn't Shen have it worse, thoug-

JarvanIV: Now I ask you, Quinn, of boundless vision and endless insight: What the hell gives? Am I not... handsome enough? EPIC enough?

Quinn: Well, your Highness, of course that's not true -- we could always petition the Riot Skins Team to create a new skin for you, however, or send interesting ideas their way for inspiration.

JarvanIV: Hmm... go on.

Quinn: This may sound drastic, and I mean no disrespect to His Royal Majesty, but what if we petitioned "King Jarvan IV" -- a legendary 1820 skin with new voice lines and animations?

JarvanIV: rubs chin I would look good in my father's armor... hell, I'd love to finally get some petricite on me, too....

Quinn: (No, Valor, I am not going to petition a Queen Quinn skin! blushes)

JarvanIV: It shall be done! Please write up a formal report of our meeting today, Quinn. I trust you to deliver it to Riot's headquarters by night fall, lest my seemingly endless wait for this skin rot me into a state as utterly repulsive as Urgot's.

Quinn: By Demacia's will, I shall see it through, your Hig---I mean, your Majesty. winks

Riot doesn’t care because Jarvan is not that interesting to them. In lore too despite being like a major character in Journal of Justice :(

I know JoJ isn’t canon any more but I am trying to point out how much Jarvan has fallen in Riot’s interest.

I am not even angry. I am just sad.

He's getting a Samsung skin from World's I think but other than that dunno.

He was played pretty consistently all through S7 I'm quite surprised Riot hasn't released a skin for him already (Perhaps he's slated for an Ultimate skin? We still haven't got one for Top Lane).

I second this i have been a nig Jarvan fan for years but no matter meta he is he never gets any love. All the skins keep going to champs like Yi, Lux, Teemo, Garen even Xin ans Nausus have had at least 2 skins in last couple of years llease Riot show J4 the love he deserves.

You know, and at the risk of starting a rebellion, I have to say that the Warring Kingdom's skin isn't great. I don't much care for the skin line in general, but why the hell does J4 have to giant feather boas coming out of his helm.
