He cited how Jax was a problem that nobody seemed to know how to deal with, then listed off a handful of strong champions that would have been fringe picks that could have easily taken care of him. I don't really think that was the case at all, I'm not saying pros don't have horrible champion adaptation (because they do) but Jax really wasn't that big of a deal at worlds outside of the grand finals, at which point he was used as a counter pick to a baited Shen pick. To say that "nobody knew how to deal with him" is kinda revisionist history. I don't know mabye I'm the one remembering it poorly but Jax was hardly a standout champion at worlds for me. | ||

After a few buffs and qol changes she was very strong, but was not a good pick in the assassin heavy meta. Fizz went unplayed competitively for the longest time because of a HUGE bug with his E which would occasionally do no damage. I think Syndra was definitely playable on release... or at least onr patch after her release. All the buffs were just incentives for the players to give her a chance. | ||

My only worry is that he has basically no AOE whatsoever. | ||

I think his trade is really good and his sustain is obviously godly, but seriously, he has 0 waveclear, so you either need to get a tiamat first, or you get something defensive and get shoved to your own turret 24/7. Probably not that viable in competitive play. His R's CD is way too low lol. You can just use it to sustain yourself. | ||

His base AS is so ass.... WodX has very specific crit masteries for him, so he maxes out on crit with IE+Shiv timing. But, tbh, Jungle Yasuo blows without having knockup/displacement lanes, and even if you do, none of the jungle items are any good on him. | ||

His base AS is so ass.... I've been playing it non fucking stop. It's absurdly fun, and you have a massive amount of hidden damage. For runes I run Armor yellows, MR per level blues, flat AD quints, 6 flat AD marks, and 3 flat AS marks. Masteries are 21/9/0, details are here. Go to the mastery page One-Winged Angel (geddit cuz hes like Sephiroth). You have really high damage ganks, but only dash on the enemy champion as a last resort. You should dash to minions and proc your slows with the AOE from your Q. Don't get Wind Wall until level 4 (unless you're ganking someone like Lux or Annie, who have projectiles that can end ganks with roots or stuns). Right now I've been rushing a Shiv and then building a Sunfire from that, then Youmuu's and Merc Treads. After that I've been experimenting with tankier builds like Spirit Visage and more damage-based builds like Infinity Edge, sometimes even using Atma's because Avarice Blade is so good on Yasuo (he waveclears with Shiv like a motherfucker). Edge is great when you have a consistent and strong gold flow, if you're not so sure build more tanky, because Shiv alone keeps you relevant in teamfights damage-wise. Don't get jungle items, just always have an Avarice Blade and push lanes 24/7. Btw this character is fucking fun. 10/10 very omnislash huehuehue | ||

Yea, Phreak's perspective is seriously flawed. Jax was played (mostly) as a Shen counter, which he was pretty good at. Renekton was a strong anti-Jax, but when he was banned the other champs you would have prepared for worlds were basically: Shen, Rumble, Kennen, Vlad/Zac(maybe). Other than that, you could get lucky by having a legacy Malphite or Singed player who still felt really comfortable on those champs, but they would be playing a champion that had been basically out of competitive for several months. Although Malphite is kinda a total ass to play against as Jax, Royal probably could have tried that even if they dont play him much. | ||

He's level 18 killing level 13's. grats bro. looked hard. 1.33 second CD on his Q and 0.1 s CD on his E when both are maxed(and with enough attackspeed). he's super fun to play, but you really need to build a team around him for it to be viable. like you said, it's instant. It does not require any targetting, aiming, or skill whatsoever. you push R, and it teleports you. if you're capable of recognizing an ally that has a knockup ability, you are equally capable of doing this. | ||
