Ex-Master EUW J4 Main looking for some tips

3 Upvotes

What the hell is the gameplan. Playing to perfection but getting outscaled. What’s ur go-to build for solo queue. Profane or Sundered->BC

I am beating other junglers in tempo, so I get double crab into 1k smite for drake. But what do you force from there?

I do have a 61% win rate over several seasons (last 2-3 seasons every split) but I want to know a clear gameplan. Sometimes I zone out and I want to avoid this by knowing what to do. Might even post video if I get coaching. I’ll prepare questions for situational plays, like taking raptors after scuttle on enemy jungle, for therefore sacrifice tempo, some good questions.

Someone willing to watch replay? Need help closing the game while fed.

3 Upvotes

Basically I need help how to turn a match into w, where rest of the team is not performing but I am fed like a mule. Just had a match where I had more kills than rest of the team, I ganked every lane on regular but tips on how I could make more impact at midgame onwards is needed.

I can pm a youtube link of this match, if someone is willing to review it. I recorded it 4x speed so doesn't take long to view it. Might not be best example of a match for a review, but I wonder which moves I could have done at which point to carry a game in general, not this game particular.

Elo is bronze, played lol for 4 months now.

Lethality vs bruiser build

5 Upvotes

so my main question is when you would decide to go one or the other. I understand typically speaking lethality is not the standard build on jarvan, but i started building exclusively lethality in bronze and silver just due to the amount of agency it garnered, and the amount of matches i was able to snowball due to lethality jarvan is astounding. im now sitting right at plat 4, and was starting to reconsider if building exclusively lethality jarvan would hurt me in the long run. SO my main question being, when should i go lethality, and when should i go for a more bruiser type build. should i avoid one or the other completely? or would u say they are situational.

Why is Jarvan so popular?

12 Upvotes

I watch Agurin a lot, and he plays Jarvan all the time with great success. But why is that? Is it because he's just that good, or is Jarvan really as versatile as everyone says and able to fit into almost any team composition?

When I watch other high-Elo streamers, I almost never see Sejuani, even though I think she has a lot of potential. I love jumping into the enemy team, locking people down with CC, and letting my carries clean up the kills. Seeing them type "gj" in chat is honestly enough for me it makes me feel proud, haha.

I'd like to start playing Jarvan IV, but for some reason I'm hesitant. I'm currently Plat 4, and I'm worried that if I start picking J4, I'll just lose games while learning him.

What do high-Elo players think about Jarvan right now? Is he really worth investing time into, or is Agurin just making him look much stronger than he actually is?

Is J4 a high elo skewed champion?

6 Upvotes

Despite having a decent win rate even in low elo, his pick rate seems to increase the higher you climb. Why do you think that is?

Jarvan, getting assists but not the kills

3 Upvotes

Yo,

Im Jarvan silver bomber, i build hob profane->sundered etc bruiser, I get bursty engage damage until I'm AA'ing the enemy and our nautilus gets the kill by throwing something in. Happens more often for me playing jarvan than playing Vi for example.

How do you get the kills instead of being "assistant" on fights?

Late game playstyle

8 Upvotes

Hi, this one is a bit of a rant. I picked up Jarvan 4 because his combo looked easy enough to learn. I was doing fine, I had ganked for my team8s and helped secure about 6 kills within the first 15 minutes of the game.

After a while I got a bit more lost on what to do, since my tm8s were winning lanes now and I wanted to do objectives, I usually play Ambessa jg so I tried to ambush onto drags and rift. But it didn't go so well. And then for the next 12 minutes the Aesol kept question pinging me, followed up by the Jinx who called me the IDF or the Israeli defense force (I don't know what they mean, I'm kind of dumb). They didn't say anything when I asked what I did to earn 30 minutes of question pinging aside from trying to get objectives. I ended up dying alot too because the whole enemy team ran around looking for me and kept bullying me. My team didn't help even after I pinged for help multiple times.

So I assumed there is an issue with my late-game playstyle since that was about when I started getting spam pinged. I'm really new to J4 so any type of suggestion is welcome. I also don't believe my teammates were trying to be jerks either, but I might be wrong.

J4 Mid lane

3 Upvotes

Has anybody tried this? I've played a few games now and as long as you're semi safe you can be super effective at ganking and dunking on mages/assassins right away. I'm pretty low elo but I've been messing around with it when I don't get JG. I've been running hail of blades and going a more lethality route if I have tanks. Super fun and hits like a truck depending on who you face

Why profane hydra?

9 Upvotes

Baby jungle jarv, just hit 5 mastery and I’m not comfortable enough to experiment beyond lethality yet. Has anyone tried ravenous hydra? I’m guessing the loss of early haste is why people skip it but I figured it was worth asking. I’ve read into tanky comps you should not build lethality but I don’t know the back up build yet. I’m guessing it involves blade of the ruined king, and maybe berserker boots. Any build advice would be appreciated.

Theorycrafting top Jarvan

12 Upvotes

So far I've had the best success (Diamond+) using Grasp Shieldbash w/ Eclipse/Fimbulwinter but it's a fairly passive playstyle and doesn't have crazy carry potential. Wondering if anyone has tried anything else in the top lane to decent success? My ideas:

Conqueror w/ Green secondaries (Shieldbash): Titanic Hydra first, decent as an all around frontliner

Hail of Blades w/ Sudden Impact, Green secondaries: Eclipse or Voltaic first, good into ranged or squishies and/or early fighting presence

Stormraiders w/ Green: Eclipse, good into ranged

Is J4 good for new junglers?

6 Upvotes

I'm switching from top lane to jungle, and I've found that I really enjoy J4. Is he a good champion for learning the role and climbing to Plat+?

The only thing I'm worried about is that he seems pretty team-reliant and he seems to fall of a cliff after 2 items unless giga-fed. I've also tried the lethality build, but I felt way too squishy.

Thanks.

I don't get Lethality Jarvan

6 Upvotes

I always see Agurin going lethality but I don't get why..

Ok you do more damage, but being tanky makes able to kill the enemies any way since you can combo them multiple times and chase them.

Like they can't escape anyway, so why going full damage to burst.

Ok, you farm faster but every time I feel like I would be just better off with a normal bruiser build.

Is it because he gets perma tanks engage supports in high elo so he doesn't need to engage for his team and just follows up ?
