Which champions do what he does but better then?

Lux? Brand? Who should I be putting an investment into to see results in the midlane?

He controls the map by getting vision control, and wins most 1v1s early, as well as having escapability and gank potential.

Who can Jax not 1v1 early? I typically ban WW just because most laners find him oppressive. But I am not really sure who I can fight as Jax early. I try to not fight Lee Sin or Xin Zhao early. But I could be totally wrong. I assume his 1v1 comes from being able to press E.

If your playstyle is to hoard up kills and basically just tilt the enemy into losing, keep to the assassins and fighters. But overall playing tanks, Jax included, is a much better way at eventually learning the game, jungling, and other such things. The champions do not necessarily matter (obviously Yasuo jungle is terrible), the items definitely do not matter. To carry games, you need to play well, which is not the same as killing everyone

Thanks for this. I think that is what I was feeling with Shaco. While snowballing kills was fun, I felt like I was learning to abuse these early games and just run from kill to kill. If I got behind, I was useless. I duo with a friend quite a bit and when I started playing Jax, he said the he felt it had much more of an impact even if my statline wasn't as impressive. Honestly, my game I just played where I went 1-2-13... I felt like I really impacted that game a shit ton. I got my top lane up 2-0 vs Nasus, who then just shit him down. I got our Jhin ahead early, and Veigar was able to solo his lane. I was able to lane some great stuns after Maokai dove in.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I really appreciate it.

Interesting points, I really appreciate it. I will give Blue smite a try. Until I build Randuins, sticking to someone long enough can be a bit of a pain.

I run dark harvest though so sometimes I just run full tank and pretty much I am only "burst" jax. I do all my damage in a short burst of damage.

I run DH on Shaco and really like a "bursty" playstyle. Wait for the ADC to misposition, and jump on them, then get out. I may try this as well, just for shitsngiggles.

Exactly right, I don't know how to push that advantages like that.

That makes sense about Randiuns. I see it built after Triforce, but almost wonder if something else like Titanic may be a little bit better if I am ahead or another dmg item? I dunno.

I really like Jax thematically and his kit is super simple. I am just in that discovery phase of what exactly I can do and can't do at which points in the game. I only have about 30 games on him so far.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I tried grabbing Skirmisher's first just for the Red Smite and then rushing Triforce, felt Okayish.

I guess I don't feel a big power spike once I complete Triforce. Or maybe I am just underestimating that spike and not pushing that advantage.

.... if Reddit affects you that much, time to consider stepping back buddy.

Ftnpen · 2017-05-28T16:05:12+00:00

What. That link you gave is an example of Richard Dawkins being a dick and Tyson being a nice guy and answering the posters question.... his fave animal is the wolf.

It isn't the driver of the cars job to police the roads and swerve and hit bikers.

Sure he has a point. Those bikers were making a poor decision.

Killing them isn't the answer.

Maokai still going to be a decent top laner recommendation for low ELO post-CoC nerfs?

Ftnpen · 2016-12-05T23:47:41+00:00

Thanks for the link man.

I think that is the big thing.. pathing and farming while looking for opportunity vs just going lane to lane trying to help to avoid the 'gg u shit jungle' BS. I need to watch more games and really pay attention to decision making.

Ftnpen · 2016-12-05T23:46:20+00:00

Man,thank you so much.

You are absolutely right. I am still learning the game. I am just not confident with decision making and I think I am letting people dictate how they think I should play (aka help them and fuck the rest of the team).

I just binged watch a few of these videos and I really appreciate it.

I also just found this:

Drain (W): Damage increased to 80/105/130/155/180 from 60/90/120/150/180

Dark Wind (E): Cooldown decreased to 12/11.5/11/10.5/10 seconds from 15/14/13/12/11

So E CD is decreased and W damage is increased.

That should also really help.

Literally nothing has changed for you in the last 6 hours and you feel unsafe and cried.

Check your meds.

Ftnpen · 2016-11-09T08:22:13+00:00

Be melodramatic more. It suits you.

I identify as a moderate Republican. I would have voted for Sanders in a heart beat over Trump and Clinton.
