Hail of Blades/Titanic Hydra tech

Hail of Blades/Titanic Hydra tech

With the change to HoB to have less upfront AS but better AD scaling on the on hit true damage, I believe a nerf on paper ends up being a buff to J4 using HoB. J4 seems to like profane hydra more than titanic in the meta currently, but the benefit titanic has is that it's hydra active counts as an AA reset, whereas profane and ravenous do not. HoB adds a stack (up to 2) for any AA resets, and since J4 has high AS anyway with flag, you're able to pump out insane damage during the knockup with HOB empowered aa-titanic-aa-aa despite the AS nerf. The damage is comparable to a profane hydra burst combo, despite missing the lethality, and the benefit of having 600 HP early game makes J4 much more survivable. Late game, HoB is adding more damage to a burst combo than electrocute by a wide margin(about 240 true damage). Combined with sudden impact, a significant chunk of my overall damage output actually ends up being true damage which is impressive.

I've been running this playing lane J4 with very good success this patch: Rage5000#NA1 - Summoner stats - League of Legends

Am I the problem or could it be Jarvan?

I've been a J4 main for a long time now, approaching 600k mastery and in Gold right now. But recently I've been experiencing games where I have very impressive gold leads, perfect KDAs into the mid-late game and just good intuition when to pick my skirmishes (knowing which ones I win and which I don't) yet I just keep losing.

For a while I've felt like it's my teammates but then I realise that the opponents I play against, when they get to the point of the game with the KDAs and gold I usually have, they're able to fully carry the game and win, whereas I'm still hinging on teammates despite my lead.

J4 feels very strong and weak to me, he can basically engage and disengage at will with EQ, has great CC by setting up his team but his damage and carry potential to end games is not there. Am I better of maining someone else or am I doing something wrong?

P.S. I know I could go Lethality, which I do a lot (not in this ss but I probably have gone lethality J4 as much as bruiser J4) but I feel like even then I still can't end games like Xin Zhao, Sylas, Yi etc can.
