I've been able to rush Triforce on Jax even in match-ups like Renekton (start dshield, then dblade, then phage, boots+sheen, finish triforce, truck fools), then Randuin's or Warmogs, Banshee, etc. I'm not sure if I'm doing better at playing defensively or it's just that even for my trash leftovers from scrub-plat days Silver III is ridiculously easy. People pushing so hard def. helps me farm tho, and junglers are less subtle about coming for me. Also screw damage, build Olaf Sunfire-Banshee-Warmogs/Randuin's and don't kill anyone but at least stay alive and keep them out seems like the best course of action. Edit: Angler Jax PAX Jax Jaximus Vandal Jax The Might Jax Temple Jax Nemesis Throw Classic somewhere in there, I'd say about at the same place as Vandal/Jaximus. Nemesis isn't even a choice to consider, it's for the sake of exhaustivity. | ||

I gather the main idea is that kayle is broken and scip sucks ass in mid. He might tell you different though. | ||

She suits his style a lot.Benefits from both buffs and gets strong with afk farming and does it fast.What more could you wish for? | ||

he's pretty middle of the line but he does sometimes tax early on or tax+push later | ||

Also, thats what I thought, my Angler will save my wallet from Mighty. | ||

But yeah after this nightblue guy started streaming I guess if you don't go smite cannon creeps from your laners and take every single buff you aren't a farm focused jungler. | ||

Not really talking about smiting cannon when pushing wave.Talking about shit like literally passing by and smiting minions from lane lol.Like maybe just random coincidence but a lot of junglers do this where they cover every lane after laner dies,dont gank and take every buff and then complain team is bad lol.Can only assume it is because of popular streamer. | ||

His laning sucks since you get outharassed 'cause of your low range plus your Q is pretty easy to dodge and has crap damage compared to other AD carry nukes. On top of that, he lost a shitton of dps due to the repeated ult nerfs, the most severe was the nerf to rocket spam cd from 1.2 to 2 seconds. It's incredibly clunky now. Prior to the nerf, Corki could win or at least break even with any lane once he hits 6 due to rocket spam. Now he is shit until he gets Triforce, BT and several levels. Corki lategame is ok since his true damage passive is neat, but he still suffers from relatively low range with minimal utility.

He doesn't gank as hard as Lee/Elise/Pantheon/Vi, doesn't carry as hard as Kha, and doesn't have as much utility as Lee/Elise/Vi. It's kinda like Shyvana jungle - it works, you can farm up a lot, but not quite enough to reach super carry status. Nor can you snowball since your ganks are lastluster. | ||

I'd pick Nasus + Amumu + Cho as low IP junglers at Udyrs cost. Otherwise you could just save the 3k and get Olaf for a never-banned, always good jungler who does most of Udyr's things better. And Nunu is basically free. | ||
