I myself see new champions as quite niche picks, Yas is quite linear, Bard has an inflexible build path and action all around the match, Kalista, Rek'Sai... New champs' identities are quite well defined, I'd argue too defined and linear.

Flexible picks are older champs. Overloaded kits are Irelia, Blitz, Lee Sin... Jarvan ain't far from that.

Look at him: a near ~600 damage burst(if q and ult connects) at a lvl 7 gank into a 3.5sec lockdown where he has quite the attack speed, the shield, the slow, the hp shred, the armor shred and many more... He's far from just a utility pick.
