THE MAIN IDEA

Thia build is ad focused with the intent of reaching the cdr cap at lvl 18 while having a good amount of armor penetration all this while being a good late game frontline for your team

match ups

i have included some of the hardest and easiest match ups ofc there are many more but for example there are some picks which i didnt include with whom u probably want to avoid picking jarvan cause ur chances of winning lane are pretty low if the enemy know what he is doing which are : Irelia and Illaoi mainly
Back to Top

WARNING !!!!!

this build is kinda risky to pull of but pays of hard since u mess up the enemy backline with one combo without allowing much counterplay to that but it takes an expirienced j4 player to pull it off so if u just picked up the champion avoid this build until u know the limits he has and what he can and cannot do for example how much dps can he pull if he can actually all in some situations etc bcs he is item dependand and easy to get behind he needs care but agressive playstyle which provides risks
Back to Top

Pros / Cons

pros :
high dmg
snowball potential
assasinates the backlines with ease
doesnt fall of late game like other ad bruishers
easy combos

cons:
item reliant
if set behind he is going to have a hard time
risky playstyle to follow
not the strongest laning face ( yet still strong enough to abuse many lane oponents
can be lane bullied after mistakes which can lead to losing some tipically easy lanes



OVERALL: WORTH PICKING AND LEARNING WITH CRAZY CARRY POTENTIAL U JUST NEED TO KNOW UR LIMITS AND WHAT U CAN AND CANNOT DO WHICH MEANS U NEED TO PICK UR FIGHTS CAREFULLY
Back to Top

PLAYSTYLE

My playstyle with j4 (and generally my playstyle XD) is agressive laning face with little to no room for the enemy to come-back its risky early lvl trades and trying to make the best use of the ignite summoner early lvl to get a lead . In lane try to proc thunderlord everytime it comes while opening a corrupting pot before the engage for the burn which will lead to winning trades ( if combo is landed and the enemy is not ahead).Furthermore after u secured a lead in top lane and got the first turret its time to roam try to make ur presence impactfull leading ur mid jungle to objectives after a successfull roam to mid or enemy jungle(tip: try geting the rift herald and pressure ur jungler for it its a huge boost and helps a LOT)
Back to Top

FUTURE PLANS

i would appreciate some feedback of what u think about the build ur results with it and all also i will probably follow up with a guide on POPPY and WUKONG all of which supported by the same rune/mastery pages thank u for ur time and hope i showed a cool way of building j4 PEACE OUT
