Who this champion beats in lane, and who beats it.Who counters Jarvan IV and who Jarvan IV beats
Jarvan is scary on engage, but almost everything he does is on a cooldown, and his big plays are committal. The flag and Dragon Strike knock up is his whole engage, and once he has burned that combo he is a fighter without a follow up button until it comes back. Cataclysm can be a trap on himself too: drop the ring on the wrong target and he is the one stuck inside it, or he walls off his own escape. He also wants a long brawl, so champions who out sustain him, out duel him in an extended fight, or simply dodge his combo and rewind the damage give him real trouble. To beat Jarvan, weather his initial jump, punish him in the window where his crowd control is down, and avoid getting pinned where his combo and ring set up cleanly. When you pick him, you are betting your engage lands and your team is there to cash it in.
