Challenger Coaching: Is Jax Broken? 

xD

Thanks, glad you liked it!

That's surprising!

What were your augments and items?

@@amiablereaper 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

How'd that go?

@@LearningTFT I get top 3 with this comp. I found the Jax comp easy to force. And for some reason rolling at level 5 gets me more Kassadins than Jaxes sometimes. But the good thing is that they share almost the same BIS. Also, titan's is a good alternative to CG.

Congrats!

@@julianstranzinger3962 if you build him with rageblade, usually you want to position Jax opposite side enemy carry. That lets him scale up. Same idea applies if you cap out with 4 Chrono - you want to keep him alive until the Chrono buff. But if you can wrap onto enemy carry, same side might work.

He doesn't need it. He needs the shield to live long enough to cast, the ap to scale his resists to infinity, and the armor to further add to his damage.

This. And if you can cap out with 4 chrono, he just needs to survive long enough to trigger the chrono time freeze to gain even more AP & heal.

Cap I just won my first game on set with this.

Yeah, I've gone first and last with Jax. You really have to hit Jax 3 ahead of the tempo of the lobby so that you can win streak to make up lost gold, push levels, and hit 7 multistriker (finding Camille is hard). I'd avoid hard forcing Jax unless you natural a bunch early on.

@@FriendlyBoon pog!

This comp is not forceable. You have to natural a bunch of Jaxes early and have strong slammable items. Plus, this Syndra meta counters Jax pretty hard. It can be strong at lower ELO, but not at higher ELO.

Syndra counters Jax pretty hard since she can burst him down quickly. You have to hit way ahead of tempo with good augments and hit the 7 multi 4 chrono cap for this to win out. Most of the time, it's a solid top 5 or 6 if you can hit in a reasonable time frame. At lower ELOs, I'd imagine it's still quite good.

@@LearningTFTdo you know anything that counter syndra and Karma right now?

@@standongiant yeah I ran a mobile gaming startup a while ago. How'd you know?

@@LearningTFT I'm a wantrepreneur who consumes a lot of startup tech stuff I think I saw your videos on tiktok before. Shaan Puri on MFM often say that the traits in high level gamers and founders overlap. Which makes high level gamers good founders. You think as a 250 LP masters player I have what it takes to make it in the startup world.

@@LearningTFT But are you hiring, good sir?

@@standongiant cool. Startups aren't easy, but neither is TFT. If you have patience, time, and grit, you can make it eventually in startups. May take much longer than you expect though.

@@LearningTFT I think I'm very money motivated but I'm definitely trying to think in decades but it's hard to forgo the secruity and high pay in tech

awful

Item carrier at best

@@tortul1462 he's really only viable with corrupt vampiric scepter atm. If you get that, he can go beast mode.

@@LearningTFT I never thought of that but that is actually insane 😳

? You sucks god damn

Literally lmao. The AP ratio on Jax is insane but he's still a 1-cost, not enough impact to carry.

Prismatic ticket is more of a top 4 play since you lose a lot of combat power relative to the rest of the lobby. For Jax 3 to win out, you really need to natural a bunch, get solid combat augments, hit fairly early, and push levels so you can fit in 7 multi. It's definitely not a hard force every game comp.

Pris ticket only worth if you are rolling for 2 or 3 cost as a 3-2 augment
