How to Use Jarvan IV Counter Data
This page lists the Jarvan IV counters for the JUNGLE role in League of Legends, drawn from ranked matchup data rather than subjective takes. Right now, Fizz, Ivern, and Elise give Jarvan IV the most trouble, with his lowest win rates in the current dataset. Fizz is the hardest matchup of all: Jarvan IV wins only 45.3% of 214 recorded games. In the other direction, Locke, Trundle, and Teemo are matchups where Jarvan IV does comparatively well, so they are safer choices for him to face.
Every card displays Jarvan IV’s win rate and the number of games that produced it. A figure built on tens of thousands of games deserves more confidence than one resting on a few hundred. The Easy, Even, and Hard tags come from those win rates: under 48% is labeled Hard, and over 52% is labeled Easy. They exist to make scanning faster and are not a separate statistic. The numbers come from Emerald-and-above ranked games across all regions on patch 16.13.1, and they update every 48 hours, so they shift as the meta does. For the best items and runes, see the current Jarvan IV build. For abilities and complete details, the Jarvan IV champion page covers everything.
