A problem with a lot of champions was often that no matter how low the numbers were the utility or flexibility they provided was strong no matter how far behind they were or otherwise. For J4, it was the powerful AoE with massive range as well as his ulti - which is described by many as a counter to Flash because it often forced a burnt spell.

If they nerfed the damage, the ASPD buff, armor shred, slow, knockup and movement denial would still make Jarvan IV just as useful. Of course, the numbers are indeed too high especially in the early levels and so J4 in organized teamplay is a killer.
