Emptylord likely mentioned this first on many other occasions (namely the Xin changes), but the first question here shouldn't be "How can I make this off-build viable?", but rather: "What does this off-build bring to the table that is unique from the main build?" followed up by "Does this off-build make sense in a way that the main build doesn't?". We all love executing people with a Swag Flag, but I don't think that's really a property of AP itemization, so much as it is just the result of an incidental AP scaling on one of Jarvan's abilities. If Jarvan's E scaled with AD, his main playstyle would fully integrate the sole defining feature of a potential AP build without affecting his gameplay, and AP Jarvan would go from gimmicky to extinct.
