Tips Against Jarvan IV in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
checca says “The only threat Jarvan really has over Zac is early game pressure; out-macroing him on ganks pre 6. Afterwards, it becomes easy, as long as you are even or ahead in gold. Usually, Jarvans are more eager to cast their QE first, so most of the time you won't need to worry about Jarvan cancelling your E.”
Davecraft16 says “This matchup is about who misses his skill and who doesn't. Try to dodge his stun and kite him. Don't fight him before 6. During late game try to kill him or his teammates before teamfights. He is way better than you in teamfights thanks to his controls”
shuralol says “likely to invade you but farm his jungle whenever he looks to gank if he doesn't gank it is good for you because he is clearing instead of ganking. He will fall off and you will scale”
Kukiziuu_ says “Definitely skill matchup. You should be fine in both forms until he dont go lethality. Why? his dmg will be huge so be aware of him. If you play rhaast you got easy win against him, if you play assasin just be aware and pay attention what is he building.”
Lasine says “Even if winrate is bad versus him i find this an easy matchup. Is very difficult for him to peel carrys from you. Besides his r is a wall so you can oneshot him if he lock you down or just jump it away if you are not confident. ”
RedNBlue says “Your usual business, don't feed him, counter gank. Get drakes. Don't let him steal your jungle, keep him under your control.
Try to keep his ability to get past you minimal. Hope to have a peel on your team as he will lock you or a teammate in the box and nobody will able to do much.”
MythicalMinute says “If the J4 is good, you will never be able to match him due to his early potential but most jarvans just 3 camp into a gank so ping your team to be careful, invade him and take it all. If he is full clearing, he is not playing jarvan.
AP is good here due to boxes to zone.”
spuki97 says “You beat him 1v1 only on level 6. However, don't chase him. If you use E to chase him he can ult you and his team can catch you if you have no flash. Be careful of early invades. Best build: All”
PiscesPomf says “Free match up. The only threat is that he can camp your laners.
But his R is just a bonus for you as it stacks ennemies and grant free Qs.
On top of that, he scales fairly bad.”
Agzer says “Really easy matchup, you can do anything you want in this matchup.
As soon as you dodge his E+Q combo, you will win it. Remember that your Q bounces to his R walls.”
RengarNBush says “He can beat you in 1v1s earlier unless you have full ferocity and bush prio. He is tanky later on but will be played as a peeler/engager (more like a supp). Most of the times he hits a combo you die in late/mid game. Very frustrating to play into when played as a peeler.”
Doubtfull says “Jarvan can be very annoying for Udyr. He has a high tempo early game which can swing the game before Udyr has a chance to really ramp up. This on top of the fact that his R will lock you in place and will usually mean instant death is problematic. I've considered possibly taking flash in this match up just so that isn't possible.
The good news is we farm much faster than Jarvan, so we can use that to our advantage and usually be 2-3 levels ahead of him in the later stages of the game.”
Geomine says “hard lane, if he plays poorly you can even kill him, but if he lands his combo on you and he is paired with aggro adc you are dead. keep good spacing and scale up. you outscale him if he doesnt snowball. dont match his roams kill his adc.”
Yuki H. says “Zac always struggles against champions that don't let him scale for free. Jarvan is a perfect example of that- level 2 onwards he is able to gank, invade, and pressure dives. Zac mostly needs level 3 to do anything so be wary of invades.
Look to engage onto a Jarvan who is ganking after he uses his E-Q combo as this can not only interrupt your E but also acts as a potential escape tool after you jump. ”
Saltu says “RUSH AND KILL. Mind the map.
Another bitch that only fights with friends back up. stay vigilant for counter jungling, he loves stealing camps, the fucking rat... VERY GOOD... at getting away.”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Jarvan can gank at level 2 once he’s unlocked his Dragon Strike(Q) and Demacian Standard(E). Be aware of this as he may try to cheese an early gank in the mid or bottom lane.Jarvan is really good at ganking in the early and mid-game. He will be looking to gank a lot, so it’s important that you try to equal his gank pressure and gank as much as you can to prevent him from getting his laners ahead.He has rather good Dragon and objective control. Make sure you keep major objectives warded at all times so you can spot him before he secures the objective.”

Hazardist says “If Jarvan IV is ahead, ignore him and prioritize his backline instead.
You struggle in this matchup due to your lack of mobility to match his, so if he feels unkillable the right thing to do is focus on the rest of his team and try to disrupt in teamfights as much as you can.”
HadesxLH says “Jarvan se comporta da mesma maneira de zac sendo uma maquina de ganks o jogo todo, porém o seu scale e melhor que o dele entao como a maioria dos tanks ele nao deve ser um problema após fechar penetração apenas jogue para farm scale e tente achar janelas de countergank”
lumihehe says “you can't fight him until late, but you also can't die to him really. if he engages on you with ult, just E out of it and walk away. if he engages on you without ult, E and then start walking away. pretty simple, just farm and you beat the shit out of him late game”
Salmon Kid says “Jarvan's ult poses a unique problem for Lillia. Although its not hard CC, containing Lillia in a specific area still counters her pretty hard. Jarvan is also an invade and high tempo jungler which naturally counters Lillia. The only reason he is lower on the list is because Lillia insanely out damages Jarvan and beats him 1v1 even after the J4 buffs. ”
Dad Prime says “You can Q over his ult once you have form, pretty easy match up. Howver you are likely to never be 1v1ing him since he will most likely always have someone with him.”
ItsAydam says “Champion is really strong early game and can kill you if he hits you with his E Q. Dodge his E Q and put greater distance to kite him out of oblivion. Late game he falls off but he'll still have impacts on teamfights. You can win the game easily if you get picks because the champion is basically useless if he can't teamfight. ”
Farmer Cleetus says “He can beat you very easily, it becomes more dangerously if he's fed and has his ult. Be careful when fighting him. If you get hunted by him anyways just surrender at the given time.”
NegativePhoenix says “His early damage beats yours and he has the CC to back it up. Once he hits 6, he can just ult you to keep you in place if you don't have ult form. If you have ult form, Q out of his ult zone to your team if it wont screw them over so he has to put it down and remove the locked area. Late game is yours, his damage falls off and he builds mostly beefy so he'll get team reliant around this stage.”
CommanderRexy says “You can dash through the wall of his ult, and dodge his knock-up. or just ult through his stuff. This vi build allows you to fight tanks well, as long as they don't cheese you, or they are really ahead.
Anyone you can interrupt is also ideal for you.”
Gobby says “can out-gank you level 2 lessening your gank options when you hit level three, has a better engage then you and shreds armor. Naut outscales though but still very specifically bad for Naut's early game powerspike he relies on for leads.”
SunLongGod says “dodge his EQ knock up combo and you good to go. Jarvan IV EQ hitbox is basically instantly when you are near him. pay close attention to his E then Q animation to dodge”
NegativePhoenix says “The man can win insanely early against you however he becomes more team reliant as the game goes on. He can invade you and fight you early without issue so be mindful of that. If he ults you, you can ult him to escape unless you know you can outdamage him or just flash away. You pretty much outplay his ult with your own. ”
RLluka says “Similar champ to rek. Will try to gank alot so just take his camps and depending on the team he has you might need to take flash to get out of his ult as without flash you will almost always die late into the game”
Shro says “Jarvan is not an issue at all. If he Ults you, you can wail on him within his stone circle. Or you can Ult him. Either way, J4 is no concern.”
Simple Shawn says “[TL;DR - DO NOT CONTEST SCUTTLE EARLY. COUNTERGANK WHEN POSSIBLE. CARE HIS ULT, IF YOU'RE SCARED, SAVE YOUR ULT TO FLEE AWAY FROM IT. YOU COULD 1v1 HIM AFTER EARLY POWERSPIKE.]
[Jarvan IV is a champion that likes AA'ing, the only thing is that he can remove a part of your armor, while it isn't a big problem in 1v1, it makes you way more killable in the endgame. The best thing to do is to proc Aftershock and W after his Q or E+Q if you think this isn't going to only be a duel. Without R, he cannot chase you, and he has no evade, but care the potential that his R has on you.]
[ATTACKYBRUISER CHAMPION]”
GrayJinxed says “His Flag into Dash (E-->Q) is quite telegraphed so try to predict where he is looking to knock up and use your Q to dodge sideways.
Even if he is 6 and manages to ult you, make sure you always have a Q ready to hop out of the ult. ”
TimothyFly says “Annyoing matchup, don't get hit by his e q. His early game is really strong but he is very squishy. So you can outplay him if u are good.”
DarkMareOfficial says “You can take Jarvan IV into a 1v1 if you time well your Decoy (W) with his kit but keep in mind that Jarvan IV is strong at all stages of the game. He does not require much to be useful and deal a significant amount of damage so take care on your approach against him.”
ioprocessing says “He has good disengage if you ult him, and good engage if you don't. Hard to deal with him, but you scale harder than him, especially regarding your ability to secure picks safely. Don't ult him unless he is building lethality (troll build) or he already used his EQ, even then he can survive if he builds goredrinker + tanky items. ”
YoungTact says “Really free matchup. Can W his E-Q combo which takes away from 2 of abilities for the price of 1. You also have a better full clear and early ganks so you should look to abuse this to the best of ur capability. Landing W on his E-Q combo on a counter gank or when he tries to escape generally leads to a guaranteed kill. ”
Xyllow says “Jarvan favored, but playable. Depends on how smart he is and how he chooses fights. Also, how much he snowballs and his ability to cancel your R with his EQ combo. ”
DETDERT says “Jarvan has alot of damage in his kit. Meanwhile he builds bruiser items such as deathdance, and steraks. Which khazix struggle against. He also uses conqueror so khazix loses a longer battle. ”
YEKURA says “Annyoing just make sure you have a ward against him when invading him cause he does go over walls so you want to ward and jump on him to finish off the kills. Other then that ping his ganks off and make sure he doesn't get a lead. You can build edge of night if he's going lethality to 100% kill him if he's going tank just ignore him.”
Asternova says “RUNES: Conqueror.
ITEMS: Zhonya's. Plated Steelcaps if his team is full AD.
GAMEPLAY SUMMARY: Jarvan excels at early ganks, stay aware of that so you countergank and help your laner(s). His main form of CC is really easy to dodge and he would be a really low threat if it wasn't for his ultimate, Jarvan can just insta-lock down you with a point and click dash and there's no way you can get away from it if you don't Flash. So beware his level 6.”
Madabc says “A little fustrating to play into with his E-Q combo. His R can make it really hard to get to bushes. This is one of the few matchups its really strange and really dependent on who he has on his team. ”
BreadedBreadCrum says “Counter ganking and shadowing are your best bet. If you ever, EVER, do an unsafe gank, get ready for the hardest counter gank. He is insane at that. Runes, go Aery Inspiration or Glacial. AP Ivern, go CotSQ or Liandry's. Sup, go Moonstone.”
Consolo says “Countergank countergank countergank countergank don't let this mfer walk all over your lanes. Very predictable champ just track him and ping your lanes to be careful. Deep ward with control wards if possible. ”
Tiger-Moose says “Beats you in 1v1s early, but cannot persistently chase too well on his own. Him R-ing you will cause your R to crash into his.
//Do not pick Mecha Zero Sion so you can hear your unique voicelines against him.”
MrMeem45 says “hahahahahaha. HAHAHAHAHA.
In all seriousness, just - just ignore his ass. What's he gonna do, level 2 gank your midlaner and then be half your level for the rest of the game? He does no damage, isn't particularly tanky and his abilities basically tickle you. You also have like 10 dashes, so if he cataclysms you and somehow you aren't kicking his laughable ass just leave. Better yet, kick him out of his own thunderdome.”
Elekktro says “Jarvan is a ganking machine and can tank you up pretty well in a teamfight. Viego should generally out farm and out scale, but if J4 has an impactful early game Viego can't keep up. ”
ShuffleTM says “Ele vai querer impactar muito early game, mas depois se da outlevel nele facil, da pra matar ele tranquilo na JG e a ult dele é inutil contra você.”
J98TheGreat says “You have the privilege of opening up his ultimate. This is no small advantage. Make up for your team's mistakes possibly if you do that, but hope they don't do it in the first place. Still, Jarvan is an excellent jungle pick, and don't take this lightly. This is your hardest minor threat.”
NMFO says “About as even as it gets. Either side can win early fights, depends on if J4 hits flag and drag. This guy is pretty much your base equal at all points in the game. ”
Roguejokester61 says “Oh look it's the other annoying Demacian, in all reality you do counter Jarvan, but you really need to be careful of his early-game poke capabilities as he will destroy you with ease, but if you can dodge his attacks this is also when Jarvan is at his squishiest state during the game.”
OnslaughtOfPwnys says “One of the hardest champions to fight as Hecarim. Our dear J4 is hard to contest. You can enter and exit his R with your Fully Charged E or just R away. Avoid fighting him alone.”
Ghionova says “You can easily bait him with your clone because he will think he can kill you with 1 combo. He tries to hit you with everything while your clone is knocked up and then you come out of disguise. In early he isnt a big threat but can be dangerous with allies around.”
Brosinex says “Casi imposible de matar y también daña. Sin embargo, puedes E sobre su habilidad definitiva, así que intenta ponerle el cebo en las peleas en equipo para que se la gaste en ti. Deje que su equipo lo mate y simplemente mate al adc o al apoyo si son blandos.”
Da Mastah says “As long as you hold your q to dodge/follow his lunge attack you should win the 1v1 make sure to countergank him as he can easily get a lead in his lanes due to his cc and mobility. Make sure to use your q wisely when invading him.”
The Elysian1 says “ A good jarvan player will sit on lanes and just wait for the perfect moment to make a gank. Try coutnerganking him and clear more camps so you have lvl advantage. He is pretty strong in the early - mid game but your build is stronger. Eclipse +Serpents + Serylda's is just another level of insanity. Try Counter Ganking him and do not fight for scuttler without any prio once again. Pinks suggested.
”
Sandor Clegane98 says “While this lane is pretty easy, you have to respect his q range poke,try dodging the eq combo cuz u might get trashed,otherwise trading is in your favor.
Dshield or Dblade”
Citric says “Jarvan is a fast buff clearer. He moves fast around the map because of his E + Q and will potentially try to steal your buffs early. He is also a good ganker so try to counter jungle him when he is ganking on the opposite side of the map.”
Pusi Puu says “You win all ins and skirmishes. Be careful not to get caught out of a bush with his ult and be careful to jump after he used his e-q combo since he can cancle your jump. Also never walk up to a j4 without bush since he can just ult you and you can't escape.”
Doubtfull says “This match up is really easy until Jarvan hits 6. Once he has his ult he can trap you and all of the movespeed in the world can't save you. Be VERY aware of this ability in the mid-late game. ”
NixLychee says “After his nerfs, he got kind of gutted, although he's still a strong duelist with a lot of damage and a fairly long engage range, especially with his ultimate. ”
KamiKZ says “The only problem that you will have with him is at level 3, where the match up is based on skill. Make sure you´re mindful of how you use your Leap as he can simply E+Q onto you to knock up up for free if you don´t have Leap up. Try to use your Leap to dodge his knock up to win most duels against him. After that is easy so long as he doesn´t get a lead over you. Be mindful of his build, as him going full AD could be a larger threat when ahead. ”
Polarshift says “Dodge his E+Q combo and you should easily win by kiting him out. He wants to spam ganks so be sure to countergank him if you're on his side of the map. If you're not, then atleast take his camps or an objective. Jarvan IV can gank level 2 after Red Brambleback.”
Veralion says “On the weak side early. Wait for him to use E->Q before moving in on him if possible, he will want to knock up the crab to take it faster. Take advantage and move in while he's helpless. Jarvan's ult can be useless or game changing depending on his team comp. Make sure you respect abilities like Shockwave and Bullet Time and don't get caught in Cataclysm with your ult down. Don't stack on your team while you're doing the baron dance or something. ”
Doubtfull says “This is a pretty easy match up. I usually make sure I use my first ward to protect my midland from a level 2 gank (in-between mid and red). After that, I look for every opportunity to fight him in the early game. It's possible to cancel his EQ with your knock up, but very hard to do consistently. ”
Doubtfull says “If the Jarvan builds tanky he could be annoying in the mid to late game, but generally speaking this match up is favorable. After he E-Q's he has no way to disrupt your W. Play cautiously in your first clear and try to use your early wards to prevent lvl 2 ganks.”
Arfreezy says “An early game ad jungler which Graves is strong against due to having grit stacks at first scuttle. If he fights you at first scuttle while you have 8 grit stacks you will win 90% of the skirmishes even if laners get involved. Use your dueling advantage to counter jungle often and play to outscale. Play reactively and punish all the Jarvan ganks by taking something else on the map. Save your E to dodge his E Q combo and he does no damage.”
MiningRicK says “He is a fighter and do good damage both isn´t that great for you so try to fight him when you have your Hydra or only with you teammates because his ult in 1vs1 isn´t Nice.”
Whynotbefriends says “Not as free as some matchups but you have mobility to avoid his E Q combo and the damage and clear pace to match most of his early skirmishes. ”
WildeBob says “REALLY ANNOYING MATCHUP FOR MUNDO, JARVAN JUST COMPLETELY OUT GANKES YOU EARLY. HE CAN ALSO ALWAYS JUST EQ AWAY IF YOU TRY AND CHASE HIM YOURSELF. JARVAN THRIVES AGAINST LOW MOBILITY CHAMPS WHICH IS WHAT MUNDO IS.”
KamiKZ says “This match up is Graves favored. Jarvan´s main sorce of damage is his E + Q + AA combo and you can dodge that with your E. You should always be able to 1v1 Jarvan as Graves. ”
Insightful says “classic jungle matchup, but jarvan is in a really bad spot right now so I think you should win simply because of how useless this champion feels”
Kayncer says “You beat him in early, make sure to avoid his knock up and you are fine, only ult him if he is medium fed or he will be able to beat u, build tank in this matchup and get bramble early”
amogus logus says “He will deal a lot of dmg to you with his passive cause u build a lot of raw HP .
Otherwise , he can easily escape you with his Flag Q .
Not the biggest Threat , just really annoying.”
poopyOCE says “If he jumps on you, you are fucked. Avoid 1v1, and wait for him to burn ult so you won't get shut down during your ult. Keep map awareness on rift of him. Q and disengage”
Karasmai says “Very easy if you are going Rhaast you will hard win the fight as long as you can dodge his E q which is very easy since you can just use your Q, If you go shadow assassin its even easier to dodge and you can easily get through to his backline. No matter form, remember you can use your E out of his ult and it will heal you!!!”
MexBookMaster says “Farmeas más rapido que el y puedes salirte de su R. Cualquiera de las 2 formas son viables en este match. Jarvan gankea bien así que cuidado con eso.”
ak521 says “Traps out your ADC or yourself. That's why you have your Q. He doesn't even deal that much damage unless if he is ahead, so if he ultis, your ADC will be fine unless if there is another few enemies there (hint hint R). If he get's fed, an experienced player will snowball and this is a nightmare for you. Relatively fast clear speed, might be faster than yours. Be aware! Also as a side note, his ganks are pretty good so expect to lose early and mid game.”
Rhoku says “J4 is much more mobile and can get a lot done quickly. Though he himself will probably never beat you, he will devastate your team if he gets a lead. He is especially good at ganking botlane. You should make sure you get fed alongside him so that he does not get out of control. You can cancel his dash with your E.”
Insightful says “jarvan is in a very bad spot right now, just watch out for early invades and fights since he's still strong at this point, if he doesn't get any advantage it should be free”
izzlelol says “Almost unkillable and does damage too. You can E over his ult though so try and bait it out in teamfights so he wastes it on you. Let your team kill him and just kill the adc or support if they're squishy.”
OsakaSatang says “Conc + inspiration
Same as xin zhao. He has good reach with his Q E , so you have to very careful when fighting him pre 6. don't contest crab unless your lanes have prio. He has strong burst damage when he has his full combo but the 11.20 nerf will reduce that abit.”
Lambda Diana says “He will spam gank early ping and call out for the lvl 2 gank that most J4s do. I would get void 2nd into this match up as he does have high base MR and is likely to build MR.”
ItsSkoob says “New Jarvan Buffs have made him very very strong. If he times his E+Q combo right he can knock you out of your Q. He deals tons of damage and is really tanky. Try to avoid 1v1s with him super early and watch out for his lvl 2 or 3 camp ganks.”
Sammystinky says “He invades well and can out gank you early. If you make it late you should be fine though just make sure he isn't killing your carries”
Ellesmere says “J4 is strong early and late, he has a fast escape as well as incredible engage. Don't try and counter jungle him early as it will almost guaranteed be a waste of time. However, once you get rolling (bloodrazor/rageblade) you can definitely 1v1 him so don't be scared to engage. ”
RedNBlue says “Jarvan sadly isn't meta right now and he can't really do much without you being a really really good player and even then you will still win a fight against him.”
SketchtheHunter says “Jarvan just doesn't work very well against Mord, He just doesn't like to fight 1v1s early and has very minimal damage. If he ults you, ult him back and let the slap fest begin.
Genuinely almost forgot this champ existed, tbh.”
Suseri says “If he misses the knockup you should win, also you can Dodge his Ult Dmg or Escape out of it, by Q'ing nearby minions or Champions. You have to Q after his dash animation starts, in order to not get hit by his knockup. ”
manco1 says “Jarvan jungle match up gets down to his combos. If he hits his e -> q knock up all game you will die. try to practice your movement if you find trouble vs J4.”
RichMrFork says “Typical early game gank champ. Try not to skirmish with Jarvan too often as he has quite a bit of setup and CC to set his team up with. Again look to outscale him and countergank whenever possible. Jarvan has very little threat if he wastes E-Q and no disengage without Flash so look to kill him then.”
Kayn Mains says “Jarvan IV will almost always beat you early on thanks to his attack speed boost from his Demacian Standard (E). Avoid fighting him.
Once you get your Red Smite you can beat him in duels. Keep avoiding him if you built Blue Smite.
Jarvan IV can get fairly intimidating late game if he got himself a Warrior's enchantment but you should still be able to beat him with your form. If you are playing Rhaast and he decides to go Cinderhulk he will serve as a great HP reset target.”
WillowSprout says “Just land your W cuz he dashes often. if he's ahead don't worry he's just an early game champion. hopefully your team knows how to play from behind otherwise GG and he can oneshot you.”
LilPaniniUwU says “Try not to get CC'd by his E+Q combo, otherwise, he does mediocre damage without his passive, and so you should be fine early game. Lategame, if he goes tank it will be your job to kick him away if he ults your teammates. If he goes lethality your teammate will probably be dead.
”
metalhydra273 says “Jarvan can often feel unkillable at times, and you can do little to stop him from doing what he wants in fights. If he's too tanky to deal with, ignore him. Otherwise a front to back may be your best option. Look to stay in the game and help your team survive his engage.”
Spection says “He can start blue or red. Do your best to get eyes on one of the buffs to see if he starts there or not. He is a good duelist and can ignore your Q by dashing through it. Wait until mid game, you can outfight him then.”
LilPaniniUwU says “Jarvan IV will almost always beat you early on thanks to his attack speed boost from his Demacian Standard (E). Avoid fighting him. Once you get your Red Smite you can beat him in duels. Keep avoiding him if you built Blue Smite.

”
Aqua Dragon says “Jarvan is particularly nasty, able to throw out all of their lockdown before the Silence or Suppression can usually stop them. They also have very early gank pressure combined with enough burst to annihilate any Malz without some armor items.”
KhaZix Mains says “[4/10] The only problem that you will have with him is at level 3, where the matchup is based on skill. Make sure you’re mindful of how you use your Leap as he can simply E+Q onto you to knock you up for free if you don’t have Leap. Try to use your leap to dodge his knock-up to win most duels against him. After that is easy so long as he doesn’t get a lead over you. Be mindful of his build, as him going full AD could be a larger threat when ahead otherwise just invade him early and look to abuse him throughout the early stages.”
Gamyeon says “You are looking to force 1v1s early against him, don't let him do cheese ganks on your team or you'll lose with a Jungle Diff typed in /all chat. Pay attention to easy gankable lanes and then counter-gank him. Also you easily win the 1v1 early, just don't let him knock you up during your Q.”
SaintsBeast says “Jarvan is not to big of a threat for Nunu but if you are new to the champion and playing him in ranked, play someone else other than Nunu for that game since Jarvan can be a pest. ”
uSgSello says “Winning matchup.
Jarvan drops very low in the jungle. That's why you should try to counter jungle. Also you are able to dodge his main dmg threat of his E+Q combo with your rappel.”
BlackFalcon2005 says “Jarvan IV just isn't in meta so you won't see him much. But if you do, he is a pretty early aggressive champ, but he cant duel you early so it should be an easy win.”
theceasrsalad says “his early is pretty good but unless he gets ahead of you mid game you can and will beat him with your combo. good body to take too.”
Doubtfull says “This match up can be hard, as he can get on top of you fairly easily and trap your with his ult. Be very careful if you don't have your flash up.”
RedNBlue says “Jarvan wil be a problem to duel early game and you are an easy kill for him. But I have to place him in the even threat due to the fact that he sucks right now and he has sucked for a very very long time.
He needs a stronger late game and he needs a more solid build path. You can build tanky with him or more damage. But if you build damage with him it just doesn't feel right, you won't have any tanking ability and you still won't do more damage than anyone.
Riot plz fix..
Jarvan late game get gun
Jarvan more passive tankiness plz
Plzzzzzzzz
If you get this message plz fix Riot..........
I love Jarvy but I have an 100% lose rate with him even if I go 10/5/17
and that is just wrong, he has at best a 4/5 early game strength and late game he just gets completely busted.
You do so well early game but once you hit 25 minutes you start realizing you have to try to last hit the enemy champion to actually get a kill and that's at the risk of dying. He can't duel and it feels like any and every item you buy on him just takes away something from you.
You get a tank item you lose all your damage, you get a damage item, you lose all you tankiness and you go in to kill someone and you get them down to half health and you die. You get a mixed damage and sustain item, you just don't have enough of one stat to pass the test.
its awful
plz fix riot
I love Jarvan
but he just doesn't have the power now-adays and I feel like I have never even had power playing him.
”
Cryastro says “Pre 6 he only has 1 gap closer so if you can dodge it you can kite him and kill him pretty easily. Post 6 wait for him to ult someone else then fight him.”
Kindredgarten says “He will probably gank a lot early but falls off hard. Nothing to worry about for the most part. You can 1v1 him easy unless he gets ahead. ”
Loul_60 says “Much stronger than you early, a bit like Vi but less popular. There isn't much you can do against him until you get form, Rhaast is strong into him but Shadow Assassin is basically useless into him.”
Gumipapucs says “Kinda same as Lee sin. He starts ganking pretty soon, so you can aim on preventing that. If you dodge his EQ combo, you should be able to kill him early. He will be dangerous all game long with his EQ combo and R. You can jump the wall of his R.”
DeleDulux says “1 vs 1 him is easy because is ult is isolating you with him and is just better for you but if he di that in team fight use your R or the enemy team will destroy you”
c0st0m says “Matchup is extremely easy untill lvl 6 after 6 you won't be able to hit true damage q's on him in his ult so purchase a zhonyas and he wont be a big deal”
Udyr uber says “Se conseguir desviar do E+Q dele, você ganha a troca, tente invadi-lo já que ele faz a jungle farmando com seu combo.
Tabi+Navalha+Sterak”
Raizins says “Jarvan's E+Q combo will interrupt your W if you are in the line he is travelling, there are some strange interactions between these two combos but in general his E+Q seems to have priority”
PsiGuard says “He has good early ganks and also team fights well post-6. You can usually handle him 1v1, but you also don't have a dash to escape his ult. This matchup will usually come down to who has better jungle fundamentals. You farm faster than him, so you can outpace him if he wastes time on fruitless ganks.”
ChaseMorePlz says “Luckily Jarvan isn't played very much in the current meta; he can knock you up and keep you into his Ulti for a very long time and kill you especially with the help of his teammates. Be sure have Flash if you get caught in his Cataclysm, or you may die depending on the situation.”
JunglerBuilds says “Jarvan has won against me many times just by ganking bot a lot, so stay bot and snowball your adc. Since he's not a hard champion to play, literally anyone can be good with him.”
ChaseMorePlz says “Not a good matchup for Amumu at all since he can burst you quickly early on, however rushing a Dead Man's Plate will give you a lot of survivabilty. This item also gives you extra movespeed to dodge his E>Q combo, ward your jungle and don't look to counterjungle him at all in the early game. He will most likely invade you so stay ready!”
ChaseMorePlz says “Jarvin IV (4) is always a good champion to use as a frontline bruiser tank who blocks certain champions that are a priority with his Ultimate Ability R (Cataclysm). He has a strong level two invade versus Kha'Zix and Lee Sin along with other jungle champions with his E>Q knock up combo.”
ChaseMorePlz says “If played properly you can use your Q (Leap Strike) to dodge his Q>E combo in order to avoid getting CC'd. When he jumps in that's your chance to jump as well, you can also hop out of his ultimate whenever you want.”
Tofolo says “Vi da davvero fastidio. In early siete più forti e più veloci ma dal liv 6 in su la cosa può cambiare. Contro di lui prendete Flash e non Heal e tenetela per uscire/schivare la R (cataclisma). In combo i suoi danni sono un problema la Q vi aiuta a schivare la sua Q ma è molto veloce e vi riduce l'armatura a quel punto mette su scudo che vi rallenta e con lo stendardo vi fa danni magici ed aumenta passivamente la sua velocità d'attacco. Quindi si potreste cavarvela ma non è semplice.”
ChaseMorePlz says “Be careful, he can knock you up and cause your Q to be canceled if you allow him to. If he gets a lead he can easily burst you down, luckily you have a good chance of escaping due to your Q.. y'know if he doesn't cancel your Q haha”
Wolf Rengar says “Recommended: Conqueror Rune Page/Build.
Tips: Fight him a lot. You win most of the fights when you have bushes near.
Jarvan is similar to Rek'Sai, he will probably spam gank your laners and for sure lvl 2 gank. Remember to inform your laners about it.”
DarkAuraLOL says “you have a faster clear and better sustain, as per usual invade his raptors and red, if that doesn't work, you will outclear him anyways don't worry, also if you dodge his combo you are stronger at 1v1's early, you can out clear him and look for ganks before him , and counter ganks , hes not a threat through midgame and late, you will probably have 100 cs lead also u can one shot him upon blue form if he doesnt go much arrmor , and if he goes full tank hes not that much of a threat into your team .”
KajiKumihoAkukei says “Jarvan is very reliant on his flag and drag to be able to fight you. If you can bait it out of him his biggest threat is gone and you can just go ham on him.”
EvoNinja7 says “If he can trap you in his cage you are in trouble, if you can get out of that you should be able to duel him comfortably, especially with Kraken Slayer.”
MetaSolaray says “Jarvan's threat is not from his early gank pressure but his ability to lock you down in every teamfight with his point and click ult. Build bruiser so you can withstand J4's engage and the followup by his teammates, his early ganks are all in the knockup. If you dodge that by sidestepping from it you'll easily out DPS him. Avoid squishy builds into j4.”
DarkAuraLOL says “you have a faster clear and better sustain, as per usual invade his raptors and red, if that doesn't work, you will outclear him anyways don't worry, also if you dodge his combo you are stronger at 1v1's early, you can out clear him and look for ganks before him , and counter ganks , hes not a threat through midgame and late, you will probably have 100 cs lead also u can one shot him upon blue form if he doesnt go much arrmor , and if he goes full tank hes not that much of a threat into your team .”
RedNBlue says “Jarvan sadly isn't very meta but you can still kill him and he can still kill you. He will fall hard mid game which is the reason why I say he is off meta. He dumps down hard if they don't surrender before 22 minutes.”
C7 Lord Pingu says “If he ever ults you he basically forces himself to fight in your mist which isn't what anyone should want. He's kind of just a bad champion at the moment so you can do as you please. Kraken Slayer is nice since it lets you burst harder. You can also try 3 camp and look for an invade at his buff since he doesn't have the best clear.”
RedNBlue says “Jarvan IV can cc you partially tank your damage and do some good damage to you early game, Jarvan isn't really meta sadly and he needs some major buffs but, this could be a difficult matchup if the Jarvan knows his stuff.”
Snap0ner says “Few people left play Jarvan jungle anymore. However, the ones that play them can be a trouble if they manage to land E+Q combo on you when you have Deceive on Cooldown. Remember that you can dodge his ultimate damage with your own, and E+Q with deceive.”
Hidon1 says “J4 can impact the map before you with his level 2 ganks. If you can prevent his early gank from being successful you are really fine, he has no threat on you at all. The only way he counters you is to stop your ult with E+Q. You can stop his E+Q combo with your W, keep that in mind if he tries to engage on you. So just prevent his early game plan and try to execute on your own. ”
Schadenfreude says “Stay on your tows with J4. He has a strong early game and a good engage. If he ults you in a teamfight and you don't have flash, you might die. That being said, you also have a strong early game. All depends on skill and if you manage to dodge his knockup, you should be able to kill him easily. ”
Karthus man says “Jarvan is only a threat in the early game because you outscale him massively. He will try to pick a 1v1 early so try to avoid the, and you should win.”
Maile says “He's just really annoying but you don't use 1v1 ever as long as you don't get knocked up. Track him early to see if he goes for any level 2 ganks because that's how J4 players get ahead. ”
FrankynFood says “Fustrating all rounder. Although does begin to fall off late-game. I mean who else can keep up with yi when you are 25 minutes into the game?”
b4kk0n the Gold Jungler says “Jarvan provides early game pressure but your kit provides more dueling power than his. Aside from his passive and E, Jarvan has no real way of fighting you and you should be comfortable.”
White Cr0w says “Few people left play Jarvan jungle anymore. However, the ones that play them can be a trouble if they manage to land E+Q combo on you when you have Deceive on Cooldown. Remember that you can dodge his ultimate damage with your own, and E+Q with deceive.”
NiceTryVi says “Jarvan can be a bit of an issue to defeat. If he builds Jumpscare Jarvan, he will nuke your carry with his ult, so you have to peel him off as much as possible. This means vision almost to the level necessary against Zacs.”
Minase says “J4 can't really do much to shove you off your camps short of being really annoying pre-6, but other than that you just outscale him by your farming speed. He can't really do anything except try to win the game within the first 10 minutes. ”
FalleN3 says “J4 is difficult to deal with at almost every aspect of the game. He has strong early damage and gank potential. Depending on his build J4 can have the ability to one-shot you. If you can avoid his knock-up (E)+(Q) Combo you will have a good chance to beat him in a 1v1.”
FalleN3 says “J4 is difficult to deal with at almost every aspect of the game. He will out trade you every time early game unless he has very low health and you come across him out of position. You need to be extra careful that he doesn't invade your first buff as sadly you will die without some help from your team. Later in the game, once you have some items he becomes a bit more manageable but can still be an issue. He can easily lock you down with his ulti and cc you pretty hard.”
Holessando says “J4 is a easy matchup for you, when he jumps on you just try to dodge with your E, if he ults you press your ult, he has no chance to kill you, so don't worry, you should be really ok (unless he's ahead or you're low hp).”
aiker95 says “The threat level is high. Its difficult to control. It can quickly penetrate the defense and initiate battle. In the jungle, it is also quite dangerous but more vulnerable without allies.”
metalhydra273 says “He has a lot of ways to stall you with eq and ult. His ult is especially devastating as it could lock you away from your target and get you killed. Ulting him doesn't always work as he will almost always be tanky enough to survive and then begin an engage or escape. Look to win the early game and break open the game before your team potentially can't deal with him.”
NixLychee says “An early-game powerhouse, Jarvan WILL destroy you in the early stages of the game, before you have your form. Maintain vision control of important objectives so Jarvan can't hop out of a bush and steal your hard-earned Drake or Herald.”
Aas112mm says “Very much like Xin you will struggle against him in early-mid game but once you hit powerspike you might be able to start 1v1 him since even if he R you you can still just R away or kill him.”
gurubashi35 says “J4 is easily beatable in a 1v1 at any stage of the game as long as you follow is E + Q combo with your Q. He has the ability to gank at level 2, so warn your laners to avoid being aggressive during the first 2-3 mins.
He teamfights better than you do, but can't solo objectives so try to sneak neutral objectives early on.”
chasemyman1 says “Even matchup as long as you dodge his E-Q combo you should win all fights. You also can rappel his ultimate in most sistuations so its an ok matchup.”
reganakers says “Jarvan will not win a 1v1 at any point in the game. A 2v2 could go his way though. He brings alot to teamfights unlike Olaf so try to catch him on his own.”
wild overload lol says “Esse personagem de um jeito ou de outro vai te incomodar muito durante o jogo, além do dano aterrorizante que ele causa e ainda mais com o Cutelo Negro, tente usar seu clone nas trocas.”
PsiGuard says “Rek'Sai should win this matchup early game, but Jarvan is a really strong ganker and team fighter when he has his ultimate. The game will usually come down to who makes the best plays in the early and mid game, since both of you can easily swing the game in your team's favor. Interrupt his dash with Unburrow and you should be able to win early 1v1s.”
MikeyFeint says “With J4 it is normally about who is more fed and who can get the cage out in time, You normally come out on top if you are able to get your ultimate out in time since he will likely take a lot more damage than you do.”
Everten says “He is very tanky, and has good mobility despite that. He can easily isolate you from teammates and important positions that would help you win against him. If you have to fight against him, you'll want to take a bruiser build, but if the rest of his team is squishy it might be better to path around him, and assassinate his teammates. Still, a very difficult matchup, dont pick rengar into him.”
Eggoman says “Really a mixed bag. try to use your R to knock him back when he attempts to flag and drag. Not sure if this knocks him out of Cataclysm range but it would be great if it does. ”
League Of Cursed says “If he uses his only form of engage to stop your drain, he's doing it wrong. He can box you after you ult however, which is annoying but you can still just kill him. I never find this matchup hard.
”
reganakers says “If you have watched any pro play in season 9 you will know that Rek'Sai is just the better champ out of the two. Her 1v1 is stronger, and she can knock him up to cancel his E->Q”
Dopamine_influx says “Annoying to kill, can be stronger than you with redsmite tabi, but you're way stronger early with triple Q. Try to countergank his first gank (lvl 3), or meet him on scuttle with triple Q.”
Xeldom says “Easy match-up. Your early game 1v1 is stronger however he excels at ganking and you have to track him and make sure to keep his jungle warded and ping your teammates.”
AWierdShoe says “You outdamage Jarvan hard in the early game, giving you the potential to invade him. Just avoid his E+Q combo with your E and you will win every time. You can also dash out of his R if he ever uses it on you (you can also use your R to push yourself out), so there's no need to use flash. The only thing you need to watch out for is his strong early ganks, as well as his counterganks.”
DarkArbalist613 says “Jarvan can beat you 1v1 if he gets to E>Q you. If he misses try to stay away from his flag as he gains attack speed around it and can still beat you. Just kite him out and you should win. His ults burst can be a problem but you can just jump over the walls.”
Comrade Eshgrim says “He has a surprisingly high damage output that can catch you off guard if you're not careful, but if you are you can go toe to toe with him depending on your skill and state in the game. Ult when he does, hop out from his walls and kite him.”
QzKama says “Jarvan has significantly seen less play and Udyr has no issue 1v1ing him but his kit destroys you during teamfights if he plays correctly, be sure to have flash or you could die.”
DarkPit59 says “Jarvan possède un large éventail de possibilités tels qu'un bump avec son combo E+A, un bouclier et bien sur son ultime. S'il ne part pas tank, vous pourrez le surprendre de vos dégâts, s'il part tank alors il n'aura pas les dégâts pour vous éliminer. Vous pouvez également sortir de son Cataclysme avec votre propre R.”
RZEMgub9r says “Team fight runes
Can't counter his combo with ultimate, get zhonya fast if he's fed make sure to ult him if he combo'ed before using zhonya”
Flux31 says “Jarvan is extremely difficult to deal with. He can chase you down and trap you. The only way to beat him is if you're ahead or your team has ways to dish out damage”
WickedPoppet says “If he uses his only form of engage to stop your drain, he's doing it wrong. He can box you after you ult however, which is annoying but you can still just kill him. I never find this matchup hard.”
SavageFy says “Jarvan's damage, mobility and clear time are an extreme threat for Amumu. You want to avoid him early game. Jarvan often looks to invade Amumu's jungle early.”
Sorrowful Prince says “This guy is really dominant the first 20 minutes but you do have counterplay. His combo is relatively easy to dodge with your hookshot or ult and you can use his ult against him. If he engages on your backline evaluate if it is better to do the same with his or peal them by stunning Jarvan. Under even circumstances you win 1v1's if you play it clean so contest scuttles if you know the laners can't move. ”
Morzanoth says “You're pretty week early and Jarvan is very strong early. Don't try and take him on early. Your cd's are very high and you lack sustained damage. Be careful for early invades as well, you can be easily pressured out of your jungle unless you have help from your laners.”
Loki029 says “Don´t see him often but try too don´t let him get ahead, he can dive better than you, has more Overall Damage than you, buuut he deals his Damage fast and then has a great gap between the next Combo while you can perform way higher Damage overtime. If he Cages you alone, then he wants too catch 36% more Damage from your armor piercing E = Free Kill.”
Nico449c says “You win lvl 3 fights if you dodge hes eq combo otherwise you will most likely lose you can dodge hes combo with rappel. But you should either invade him or countergank him the invade require you to dodge hes e q combo tho. The thing you will do mostly is hit your e cocoon then use your burst combo when he tries to flash away or e q away you can follow him in spider form reppel or flash rappel ”
KajiKumihoAkukei says “Jarvan is very reliant on his flag and drag to be able to fight you. If you can bait it out of him his biggest threat is gone and you can just go ham on him.”
Fabosch is Love says “He has a better early game impact than you. He can isolate you with his ult and denie yours easily. But you have so much more damage. In mid or late game you easily destroy him with equal stuff.”
TSMyth says “This matchup is also easy in my opinion, once he ults you, then it's very easy for you to escape it you can use E or R then you're out of it. He'll try to chase you so try to bait him to your teammates then try to E him when you've baited him and your teammates are there.”
The Top Bear says “Skill matchup. With his good damage, easy CC, and high health clears, I would watch out when invading him. Try to ward around his big buffs since those deal the most damage to him (Aside from krugs) and ward near the tri-bush and near the blue side bomb-plant near the lane. This will protect laners from getting easily ganked by Jarvan.”
urrb says “This is somewhat of a skill matchup in favor of Kha. If he goes electrocute and gets the jump on you he can win it, but if he goes aftershock you can generally 1v1 him early on, especially if you fight him in the river with riverwalking, dodge his knockup, or catch him without it. If it's a good J4 they will generally avoid fighting you without a lead and try to make plays where you are not. Do your best to track him and either countergank or ward and ping for your team.”
HalcyonFox says “The main thing to consider when fighting Jarvan is that you have to be careful of his Ultimate. The last thing you want is to be stuck in a little arena with a man of that size. Use your mobility to juke his knockup as he goes to engage. By the time he's close to you, your W should be ready to pop. Rail into him, if he puts you in his stone around and tries to beat you to death, just teach him who's boss by using your Ultimate to take his life.”
Quezel says “If you encounter j4 top you shouldn't have any issues rush seekers tabi and if he ever engages on you with e q just fight he cant get away from you and if he tries to use r you can ult him to remove the wall.”
DonaldBinBaggin says “If Jarvan builds full AD, you will be able to 1 shot him when his combo is down. If he builds into cinderhulk/tabis, avoid him and look for other plays around the map.”
Simphoria says “Ganks well, clears okay, scales well; J4 is all around a good jungler. While he doesn't counter us in any particular instance, he is strong. Remember that your Q can cancel his EQ combo, heavily neutralizing his power.”
Mkcls says “KEEP YOUR DISTANCE! If you can dodge his combo you should be able to win fights with him. Do NOT cheese him, since he can turn fights with EZ”
Xelaadryth says “When Jarvan ganks, save your Energy Ball if you can for after he knocks you up so you can disengage. Or just dodge it with the increased movespeed. However, lategame, if a good Jarvan manages to ult you to zone you from the fight, it can trap you from reaching a good ult position.”
LFS_aXent says “Anti-Fun matchup. While you can beat a J4, it is a toss up on positioning and foresight to win early fights. Be smart around him, late game, you are at a heavy disadvantage. He can knock up to cancel your ult, catch you with his own ult (which you have no flash, so glhf there), and combo with his team to eliminate you in a jiffy. Best advice is to pressure his jungle, early invade, and spot his weakness to expose that early.”
Mr. Nyahr says “Has high damage and a solid lockdown ability. If he has used his dash combo to get to you, he has no escape and you can punish him for being cocky.”
Laverenz says “Not really a big thread for Jax. Jarvan has 2, 3 with ultimate, that can damage you. After that he only has his basic attacks, which you can block ;)”
today ill feed enemy team says “He is like Lee Sin, if he tries to 1v1 with you he will just die like shit but he can 2v2 or teamfight way better than you, take care about it.”
Froozenn says “He can't really do much to you. You outscale him in 1v1 at any point in the game. You can even jump out of his ult, so don't ban Jarvan when you are playing Kha'zix. ”
Her0mars says “Pretty easy to beat. some people smurf with this guy and stomp everyone so be careful of that I guess. Jarvan is fairly cheesy and only sees heavy play when there are many squishies for him to instagib.”
Yuki H. says “His bread and butter combo (E+Q) can be dodged with your E, allowing you to kite him out, or chase him, depending on what he does. His ult also allows your Q to instantly bounce back, almost guaranteeing maximum damage.”
Hamstertamer says “Jarvan has pretty much no counterplay so tanking up with items like PD/BT/GA is the answer if he goes for a damage build. Flash his ult before it hits you, you won't take the damage.”
Chromuro says “We start to get some problems when you are vs. a jarvan. He does really too much damage for you and having CC can cripple you heavily. His ult is a death sentence, rarely you'll be able to escape it alive. But your "little" helper can stop his engage if she hits at the right moment ;)”
TOYOism says “He has shield and slow early, his passive hits like a truck, he got atkspd boost, so you lose. Just counter gank or counter jungle and rotate properly.”
KhaZix Mains says “[4/10] The only problem that you will have with him is at level 3, where the matchup is based on skill. Make sure you’re mindful of how you use your Leap as he can simply E+Q onto you to knock you up for free if you don’t have Leap. Try to use your leap to dodge his knock-up to win most duels against him. After that is easy so long as he doesn’t get a lead over you. Be mindful of his build, as him going full AD could be a larger threat when ahead.”
MrPuggles says “ Jarvan IV is pretty easy to beat 1v1 as long as he doesn't get too far ahead. In this matchup, invading is generally the right move if possible. When ganking, be careful as Jarvan IV has great countergank potential. Don't fall behind or else he will destroy you in teamfights. Make sure you don't try to 2v2 or do any other skirmishes against him while he has Cataclysm or it is likely that you will lose the fight.”
FesteringJester says “Pain in the ass to deal with it, no matter what. His early game will kill ours and if he is any good, get ready for a rough match. If they are bad, trust me, you will be able to tell.”
Aoefa says “You farm at roughly the same speed if he goes tank, if he goes ad he is faster. You have more reliable ganking tools so countergank him. He won't be able to kill you solo after the first item.”
Maxturbando says “You can win at lvl6 if not fed.Early game you can't do anything to him but his main power is ganking so ward a lot and you should be fine.”
Intello says “I try to ban him or Khazix in draft whenever possible. If he sees you before 20 mins he'll use his flag to jump on you and kill you in 2 seconds.
If he engages on you by placing down his banner, flash out of it to avoid being killed then EW and run. After Serpahs, Rod of Ages and Rylais you wont be as squishy and will be able to handle him later on in the game.”
Yzroma says “You can always 1v1 Jarvan if you don't miss your Q. Try not to be interrupted with his combo. Also, it's sometimes good to keep your Q to use it to get out of his arena (R).”
Leapus says “Early = easy
Tanky = Deadly
Lots of CC, don't burn your Ultimate and try to 2v1 him. You can't oneshot him, but if he is behind you can manage to kill him.”
Bombabo says “More of a threat if he goes tanky, due to his ability to survive your combo and lock you down. If he builds offensively, whichever one of you sees the other first will win, so you can deal with him as long as you don't give your position away”
Aht3ns says “Swiftness boots. Flash his knock ups, and trade his invades. He is good in season 9 because of his ability to farm up and not gank early.”
Killerbacca10 says “Avoid him early game. He destroys you early game. Stay away from him. Late game you destroy him though. So play team oriented stay out of his way.”
HAMMERSLAYER says “He has Burst and relativly ok clearing speed, he will try to gank a lot and some times also try to counterjungle, just try to avoid his combos and you should be more than fine.”
MadMaster523 says “If he lands his combo, you're probably going to get destroyed. However, if he messes up, you could punish him super hard. Try to dodge his q and land your q. Keep in mind that if he ults you in mega form, you could ult him to stun him into his ult, making his ultimate useless.”
Lil Trash says “If he misses his e and q combo he is quite easy to kill. If you are stealing his camps make sure you have q since he can chase you down if you dont have it.”
lolWillieP says “invade invade invade. Once j4 uses his combo to start a jungle camp, he has no escape- run em down baby. Try not to let him land eq combo and its freelo”
FrozenKnight says “Same as Xin, but has a lot more dashes to chase you and his ultimate to keep you trapped as his team focuses you and your team retreats.”
SuicidalKitty says “has a bit less damage than udyr but has mobility and cc so i fear him more, try to get a even hp threshold or more and jump onto him from a bush and catch him off guard because if you don't get EMP Q he will usually win”
SuicidalKitty says “is like Udyr on steroids he has damage, is too Tanky to one shot and has gap closers and his R is plenty to lock you down in a skirmish or a 1v1 fight to the death”
Shderen says “BOY does this guy burst. Remember Keane playing this in NA LCS? it HURTS. yeah, you can silence his E+Q combo MAYBE but he'll still find a way between that, his flash and his ult to get in your face and SMACK your ass down. Will likely get a Phage item and probably will get the movement speed to walk out of your E.”
bluejaypig says “High damage, and has 1 shot potential. Try not to get knocked up by alpha striking then meditating his ultimate and you should be good.”
Twist21 says “You have no reason tho fight him early levels , he will just beat you even at lvl 6.Try to do a full clear and countergank (focus on botlane if possible).”
xTheUnlimited says “With his Q, E and R he will get a lot of good ganks in. Try to gank as much as he does so your laners wont fall behind. Also you can interrupt his E Q combo with your Q. If he builds full damage he falls pretty fast, so you can just ult him and your team will follow up to take the kill. If he is building more defensive, try to stay nearby your carries so they aren't trapped in his ultimate alone with him. ”
Court says “If caught in Jarvan's ult, Evelynn's choices are typically to use her ult, or die. This makes it pretty even as it sacrifices one ult for another. If he is fed he will probably be able to one shot Evelynn. ”
ApexZulu says “J4 cant really 1v1 you early unless you comes to the fight with a significant amount of health over you. Late game, he will always be more effective in team fights than you unless he builds full damage. Focus on peeling him off your carries.”
Trap_mp4 says “Early game Jarvan isn't a big problem for Zilean as he can be outrun only being a issue if he lands knockup how ever post 6 his ultimate will be a big problem combined with his damage as he will have no problem killing you.”
woofpack3 says “probably the strongest lvl 2 burst in the game and your snare doesn't stop his flag and drag iirc, his ult is also the only cc that isn't affected by black shield. he'll counterjungle you all game and will be in every bush on the map except the ones you ward”
LePlay says “Block his E-Q combo with your W, the rest should be easy since you are not only tankier than him, but you also eliminated his main source of damage and his only escape mechanic”
drunken hunter says “J4 is a pretty strong top laner with some nice dmg on his (Q) and AA which makes it hard to trade him in the early game - so wait for your (W) every time you wanna engage. Apart from that watch out for his shield and his (R) which traps you for a few seconds. Exhaust him when you see him going for an all-in.”
Optimal Pancake says “Jarvan counters you, plain and simple. If you're anything but red form, 9/10 you'll have a hard time against him. Flag-Drag combo displaces you and does high damage, W slows you and shields him. The only thing you've got over him is the fact that you can Q or E out of his ult. ”
Wulfery says “It'll all depend on how you get fed. If you fall behind, he'll squish you, if you will have even slight advantage you will win easily. Only remember, not to turn into "I'm Jarvan and I'm helping!" with his ult. Happens too often.”
Exhiled says “High damage, and has 1 shot potential. Try not to get knocked up by alpha striking then meditating his ultimate and you should be good.
”
Yi Guide says “J4 is difficult to deal with at almost every aspect of the game. He has strong early damage and gank potential. Depending on his build J4 can have the ability to one-shot you. If you can avoid his knock-up (E)+(Q) Combo you will have a good chance to beat him in a 1v1.”
MetabuserEU says “With his Q, E and R he will get a lot of good ganks in. Try to gank as much as he does so your laners won't fall behind. Also, you can interrupt his E Q combo with your Q. If he builds full damage he falls pretty fast, so you can just ult him and your team will follow up to take the kill. If he is building more defensive, try to stay nearby your carries so they aren't trapped in his ultimate alone with him.”

Tips Against Jarvan IV as a Support Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Fenreee says “|||JUNGLE||| Jarvan can be a complete pain if you're lazy with positioning, as a lot of Janna players are. His E>Q dash can be cancelled with knockups, however good Jarvan mains are usually adept at using sweeper and controlling vision, so if you're lazy this guy will pick you from fog of war very easily. Invading Jarvan is high risk high reward as Janna can get caught off guard so easily by this champion, however if you're ready for him and he isn't ready for you, you can likely cancel his E>Q with your Q and walk right out of his jungle forcing him to burn sweeper on your deep ward.
His R cannot be avoided as Janna. Your options are using stopwatch, and running cosmic insight with lucidity to have flash up as often as possible. Full Zhonya's isn't usually necessary since Jarvan himself only traps you in his R, but doesn't have the damage alone to kill you through your E>R.”
Lugos says “Great backline access with EQ, flash and ult letting him close scape and also caging you which is probabloy your death. Zhonya will be needed to give your team time to disengage him, also try to position yourself farm from him, making him waste everything to ever engaging you, and then you still have the flash option which cancels his whole ultimate / combo.”
Jageiko says “Jarvan IV's dash is super predictable. A W will make him useless unless he R's you. In which case you'll just E him and stun him on his ult walls. It's a win-win situation for you. Just be carefull if he's fed never to leave your ADC alone.”
Tom3kk says “Do not come near him if he has ult, 1 button CC will send you into a world of pain, also his E Q combo will send you flying into the fountain without colours on your screen.”
neuroplasticity says “
Aery J4 luckily isn't picked much these days but it's still annoying to deal with. He does a ton of poke damage in lane and it's impossible to dodge. Run biscuits for mana sustain and accepg that you're probably going to play healbot.
At 6 his all-in is scary and so are his early skirmishes. Do your best to stay healthy and don't die. You hard outscale.
Redemption can be useful to counteract his engage. Your ult can also help deny any follow-up.
”
Rasta Da Masta says “Mr. Swag Flag here can style on you and your whole team with all of the free stats he hands out to his squad.
His E matches your poke range & hurts a lot since it's maxed first. You can cancel his EQ combo, but look to save it if his ult is up as getting out of the cage is high priority.”
Doody_tco says “Keeping distance from Jarvan IV may be challenging, especially if he catches your carry with his ultimate, but your carry can be saved with healing and stunning”
BardUwU says “While he won't un funell your jungler he's hard to escape from and his damage is just bullshit, either ban or get ready to be a designated tank if he gets fed”
Vahlok says “You can stop his jump combo with your E, preventing him to gank you. Also if he is running from you, try to predict his combo. Sometimes you won't need to predict, just staying awake and have reflexes. If he ults your adc / apc, lantern him.”
Amityoce says “without flash theres almost no counterplay to his ultimate. outside of using E on yourself and hoping your team can win the fight/ stop watch /zhonya is your only way to survive this.”
Vermeio says “Jarvan will face problems against you. Your W can deny his "lance dash". His ult create walls.. =) and Poppy love walls, and even if he goes for your adc, you can still use E to get in the circle AND stun him. Just keep close to your adc, and he won't be a problem.”
