Dragonslayer Jarvan IV

Been maining Jarvan for three seasons now with over 500k mastery points, and I finally caved and bought Dragonslayer after watching it dominate in my games for months. This skin completely changes how the champion feels compared to other Jarvan IV skins, and I'm honestly mad I didn't grab it sooner.

The Q feels way more responsive than base skin, especially when you're trying to hit those max range combos. Your E flag has this sick dragon banner that's actually easier to track in teamfights, which matters when you're trying to land your knockup on a fed ADC. But the real difference is the ult animation. It's got cleaner frames that make it feel less clunky when you're trying to trap multiple enemies. I was tower diving their bot lane yesterday and the R just felt instant, probably saved me from eating a turret shot that would've killed me on base skin. And don't even get me started on how smooth the auto attacks feel when you're trying to CS early game.

Compared to Warring Kingdoms which I used religiously before this, Dragonslayer just hits different. The armor looks insane when you pop off in teamfights, and the recall animation with the dragon is actually worth watching. Is Dragonslayer Jarvan IV worth it though? For 750 RP it's definitely not pay to win, but those animation improvements make it feel like you're playing a different champion sometimes.

My experience with Dragonslayer Jarvan IV after 120 games has been nothing but positive. If you're a Jarvan main or even play him occasionally, this skin is absolutely worth the investment. The visual clarity alone makes it better than most of his other options.
