While it is fun to stomp people who are almost all exclusively 1300-1500 top elo players, I sure hope it doesn't continue forever.

Bonus tip: Don't try counter jungling rammus with nunu, 700 movement speed means he hauls ass around the jungle and will pop out of nowhere. Dead junglers can't gank.

edit: wow is loci psychic, I was just thinking he should play shen. Though I was thinking he would get like 45 ap at level one and q people for 100, let's see if he does that.

What do people feel about Jax's power curve? Should it be made flatter? I kinda feel that he snowballs too hard for LoL's current state. There are counters to him like SotD but no other champion comes close to his strength with full item builds. Is the passive broken? Is his ulti broken? I know many people like the fact that there are different power curves among LoL champs but is Jax too far of an outlier? Thoughts?

I like his power curve tbh. One thing I don't like about LoL is the fact that Riot seems to be homogenizing power curves, which is boring. I want there to be champs that dominate early, but taper off hard. I want there to be champs that suck early, but once farmed are insane. It makes for more interesting gameplay imo

What if it gets to the point where Jax can pretty much 1v5? Doesn't the game seem like a forgone conclusion by then? Even if the other team deserves it, well it's not exciting once it gets to that stage is it?

the thing is that the amount of farm it takes for Jax to get to that point is ridiculous. honestly, I see nothing wrong with a champ being able to 1v5 if the other team is bad enough to not be able to finish the game. The problem because when said 1v5 champ also has a strong early/mid game and never has a weak moment when he can be shut down.


so even though jax is competative in the mid game, a team who picks trynd or jax or both, gets a free win after x amount of time because they just start to shit on everything, and thats good balance in your head? noone should be so weak they cant be played in the early game, conversely noone should be so strong that surviving to the late game gives you almost free wins

Yea I'm in same spot... good thing I have Vayne to keep the games easy and painless. 10-1 with her, where the one loss was duoing with a 1300 player and we matched against 2200+ players...

a team who picks jax or trynd both is almost certainly going to lose unless they vastly outclass their opponents

This basically can't be true, because it would have to switch the order around after the match is made.

Jax is not a free win past x amount of time. Is he stupid strong late game? Yes. Is he uncounterable? No. Grab a frozen heart for the aspeed reduction, throw some hard cc at him, and then pick him off or grab his teammates while he is ccd. Or play someone like Cass or ryze, consistent damage without dodge chance.

If Jax past x amount of time WAS a free win, every top team would have a dedicated Jax player and he would be first ban first pick every game. He isnt.

full armor runes page. Roll in and taunt people to their deaths. Melee are best, or an ap carry, or someone without merc treads. 3 seconds is a looooooooong time. It's like a ww ult with a 8 second cd. In team fights someone gets to close to you, taunt and pull them into your waiting mob, and use your ulti.

That is literally what I do.

Also finish madreds from your cloth armor, I was a noob before and didn't start building it after they removed cloth from HoG, it definitely helps when attacking red/blue (rammus is a super fast jungler, behind udyr but up there with trundle).

edit:Lol, gunna buy my will of the ancients. Wait a second... gunblade... yes gunblade. Can totally see loci's thinking process.

No, it's exactly because of the sustain it gives in lane that they want to nerf it.

The sustain that it gives in lane is fairly priced. Being ungankable for 1600 + all of the very efficient stats? Not so much.

Versing long range becomes so lame after a while, sure, you can dodge a few (Kog's ult, nidalee's spear) but when they start throwing them at you every 2-4 secs, it becomes ridiculously op imo, anyone else feel that way?

rammus is fucking terrifying if your playing against someone who plays him well. one of the few champs that have actually made me rage quit a match.
I only make 5 actions per minute. But since I use all my time deliberating and planning, my 5 actions are so brutally devastating that children cry out and grown men weep.

Rammus is all about threatening people with powerball while actually using your taunt as a peel after chasing their carry away.

low level rammus is all about taunting their carry though, because 90% of the time their carry will be out of position and you get to kill 'em for free inside rammus' 3 second window

but yeah, it's about not overcommitting with powerball, using it to counter-initiate as much as to initiate, and if you don't get a decent opportunity (either their carry is smart or your team never gets into position), use your taunt to peel. because of how strong rammus' DBC is, always peel the highest AD damage target, unless one doesn't exist, then just peel their strongest guy.

I don't really like jungle rammus, given a choice for carry focusing I like WW or Nocturne because of their more reliable engagements, but that being said RAMMUS IS BEAST if he gets those early ganks.

To clarify strongest in Steve's post I think he is referring to most threatening as opposed to highest HP. Unless that alistar is pushing your carry around.

Don't feel inclined to always used powerball before taunt + DBC. If people are out of position you can wait till the end of taunt to powerball and give another ~second of disable. Also powerball is great for when people are dumb and cluster around you.
