@Anon: Interestingly enough, I checked Elementz bruiser tier list JUST AFTER I made this post :P. It seems we are in agreement in regards to Jarvan.

I started playing this game about a year ago (a week before Rumble patch). At that time, Jarv was kind of in the same state he is now - people were slowly ramping him up to popularity but still fairly under the radar. I picked him up as main (I think Jarv's still my best champ) about a month or so after I started playing.

Then, starting in the summer, he exploded into popularity. He was first pick/ban at his zenith by players of all Elos. Tourney's (particularly Dreamhack) was made so much more exciting when Jarvan entered the fray.

Of course, when the nerfs came during/after Season 1 people quickly began to drop him. Even I was losing faith, I wanted that Jarv that could walk in DOMINATE and even though the nerfs were minor it just didn't feel the same...until I discovered Jungle Jarvan. It was like re-discovering my favorite champ all over again, all the utility he brought to a team was able to make him into shining star in the jungle. It got even better after the jungle re-work (I was one of the few people who actually liked the re-work :P).

Mark my words, the Scion of Demacia will return!!
