Stat champion Jarvan IV bukan hanya soal statistik—tetapi berpusat pada kebenaran sederhana: dia rentan ketika serangannya dilawan atau diabaikan.

Memahami counter-nya berarti memahami bagaimana kit-nya menjadi tidak efektif.

Masalahnya bukan kurangnya kekuatan mentah, tetapi ketergantungan pada eksekusi yang sempurna.
