I won't say xaxus, too many individual derp plays and is only really an above average filler top laner, freddy maybe but individually he's mediocre it's just how well he fits in SK's gameplans and rotations. Zoro probably but retired so not worth discussing. | ||

J4 has his W for a bit of tankyness, but unless you're maxing it first, it has a massive cooldown and doesn't give a large shield. His EQ combo is also not very reliable, and if you miss it in a team fight, you're pretty much fucked. Leona has a stun that lasts half a second longer than J4's knock up that's on cooldown 6 seconds shorter than J4's flag and isn't a skill shot. Here is the difference between j4 and Leona. Morgana counters Leona. J4 counters Morgana. J4 has so much innate damage that is all physical that his inability to stun the enemy adc/support doesn't matter. He is immune to roots as he can e,q out of them so more has no way to stop his engages or easily poke/harass him down (he can respond by going in and proving his passive) and spell shields do not prevent getting locked into cataclysm. His downside is being weak to alistar and Janna. But who plays alistar and Janna anymore? | ||

And j4 isn't weak vs thresh?Ok m8.Not to mention that any of graves/lucian/vayne/ez(draven if good) can completely ignore you in lane phase and make the other ad cry. | ||

I seriously doubt it. Playing against Silver people back then on my smurf after I descended into bronze made me realize it's not just the mechanics. There are multiple problems with most silver players (I am low plat in case that matters), but I actually find their decision making to be the most problematic. | ||

He can't really hope to gank effectively since his clear is so slow that he's going to be underleveled and underfarmed, and he's never been a champion able to win 2v2s. I'm sad now. | ||

I just mentioned thresh because you said janna/alistar are biggest counters.He isn't the only one that would beat j4 easily lol.Morgana and sona are pretty much only 2 supports that could have issues with j4.Everyone else would dumpster him and he gets outscaled by everyone anyway. | ||

I play low plat/high gold ATM and find that it's mainly decision making (especially post lane decision making) that makes the difference. Second to that is attitude/playing on tilt and then mechanics. On the other hand my mechanics are bad so I may be biased. It's just that almost no amount of mechanics increase will let you win 1v5 but minor decision making changes will make those 4v4s into 5v4s. | ||
