I had my first match with Jarvan IV and I find him on the little OP side.
He's basically an DPS tank which is bad thing because he take damage and dish out a lot of pain.
Jarvan's Cataclysm can trap an enemy. He and his buddies can just wail on the enemy.
The only champion that can fight this is Poppy. If Poppy is trapped she can use her Diplomatic Immunity to protect her from the other opposing team and beat up Jarvan with Devastating Blow.
Despite the fact Jarvan is OP, our team won with good old team work.
Nope.
'A dps tank'. You don't understand, those are fine as long as they don't do as much dps as a carry while building pure tank.
Garen used to do that for the first 30 or so minutes of the game, and that's why he got nerfed.
Malphite did it too, and that's why he got nerfed.
Jarvan... doesn't do extremely large amounts of damage while building pure tank.
And Cataclysm has a major weakness... It's so easy to get out of on most characters.
If you have a jump or a blink, you're free.
If you have flash, you're free.
If you happen to have neither of those, then yes, you are trapped into a ring with Jarvan for 3.5 seconds.
But remember, Jarvan doesn't do massive amounts of damage unless he's building like a dps...
Of in which case he's not a tanky dps, he's a normal dps.
Also remember, his teamates can't can into or out of the ring without a blink, jump or flash.
