Jarvan build- is it as bad as I think it is?

[quote=AMcJV12]Hey, MOBAFire community! I wanted to ask y'all about a noob Jarvan build I came up with on my own as a joke because I, um, wanted to be better at jungling (read; got killed by jungle mobs and got super embarrassed). It basically involves getting a ton of lifesteal and AS. Since I've (debateably) gotten a bit better at the game since I first tried this build, I actually use this for top Jarvan now when I feel like blowing off some steam. Ready? Here it is, in all its nooblord glory; Start with any normal opening (boot four pot, sword two pot, doran's, etc.). Get your Greaves, Bilgewater Cutlass, and Kindlegem for early game. From there, rush BotRK, and build your Kindle into Spirit Visage. After you've got this (rather awful) core, start building a Bloodthirster for ALL THE LIFESTEALZ, and if time slip a Zeal in there as well that will eventually turn into Phantom Dancer. These items, combined with his Demacian Standard, mean he's hitting pretty fast and taking a decent chunk of the damage he's dealing as health. So what do you guys think? Is it good? Is it meh? Is it, like I suspect, an absolutely horrid build that I've only been able to get away with because solo queue at summoner level 18 isn't exactly hard to do well in? Fire away![/quote]

[quote=Dtrikz]So you want to build a DPS Jarven is what your aiming for. Your build is aiming to just straight up dunk someone 100-0 make the game a 4v5 in a matter of seconds. I guess your using the kindlegem for a defensive item and to be honest spirit visage is pretty terrible on jarven. Instead of building spirit visage build locket instead unless if the other team is double AP's you can get away with it. I understand that you want to maximize your lifesteal potential but something like sun fire or randuins would do the job much better. Keep in mind that this build will only work if you are extremely fed and will be pretty useless after 35 minutes. A fun build but I wouldnt say terrible.[/quote]

[quote=Thalia Kael]Champions like Malz or Lux will 100-0 you too easily You will also not survive more than 5 seconds in teamfights, you really need to be more tanky. On toplane/mid Jman I go something like defensive boots, brutalizer (into cleaver), BotRK, sunfire, either Mogs or Fromal, and last item situational[/quote]

[quote=AMcJV12]Thanks, you guys : ) obviously, my top Jarvan needs a bit of work. I think I'll steal a little of what both of you said and start over from scratch.[/quote]
