When to enter team fights

With this guide, you should still play a little safe. So its important to know when to engage in a teamfight, myself I like to stay in the back until the most enemies have lost some hp, then knock them up in the air with my E Q combo for so landing an ultimate, making my team able to come in and fight again.

Stay back when you need it

Its not always you can save your allies, if you know you can't, stay back. If the person gets mad at you, you tell them your tought when you walked away and do good teamwork with them from then.

Masteries

You could choose to have more offense masteries, but with this build and those runes, I really don't recommend that. Stay defensive you know, being a crazy Jarvan IV kills you fast.

Runes

Of course you should also consider some Armor and Magic Resist runes too, because you may become the first targeted.

Teamwork

Teamwork is as important as always, always stay close to your team and help them out in a team fight. But as I said, stay back for a while and make them think that you are not there. Then strike with knock-up and ultimate.

Farming

Farming is important, but make sure that you are safe. Also never forget about your team, ward up in the closest bush and watch your team at any time. Also the ward.
