I feel until AT&T and Verizon sponsor LoL teams, NA will lag largely behind KT and SKT.

Maybe I am just being cynical.

But do you really want half the better teams in a region to be stuck in challenger, just because their sister team is already in lcs? If TSM B, CLG B, and C9 B, are good enough to be in LCS, but are stuck in challenger because of the fact they're sister teams, then you end up with some shitty eco system where half the top 8 teams in a region are stuck in challenger just due to a technicality. You want the best of the best in LCS, not a situation where the bottom half of LCS would get stomped by the top half of challenger.

Also makes it almost impossible for new teams to get into LCS, as the barrier to entry is these top LCS level teams who are better then half of the actual LCS, who are only stomping challenger because they're not allowed in. This only really works if you have a scene deep enough that good challenger teams are good enough to train with top LCS teams, and that's definitely not the case in NA/EU.

I still think Riot should just remove the "no teams from same organisation," It makes no sense, I mean imagine the equivalent rule in SC2, or even just OGN champions

yeah you are probably doing it wrong somehow.

If you watch really good toplaners they can totally play jax even early against really strong matchups. I've seen Wings and dyrus win lanes solo against renekton etc solo at a high level. Jax is very strong, mostly its all about managing your ult charges and enemy skills so you make sure to use your E fully and land the stun.

To be fair, assassin rango prework was one of the reasons I stopped playing ADC.
Sure you virtually never saw it and only one in like ten assassin rangos are good but that one has given me PTSD man.

TBH the Soraka changes on PBE can be a huge buff too. This makes her W reset even faster than before now.

If I calculated correctly, previously it takes 6.2 seconds to W twice if we can Q constantly with 40% CDR and max Q. With the changes, it takes only 4.5 seconds.

Again I am just doing it on top of my head and I could be wrong. But it looks like her W cooldown shreded around 1.5 seconds in the best case scenario.

Jax is hella strong against most melee top laners. Just remember to go balls deep at lvl1 because Jax with stacked E is one of the strongest lvl1 char in the game (especially agianst renekton!).
Against Ryze start q, and go in. Forget about cs, stay in bush, wait for cooldowns and all-in as ryze as much as possible. If you try to cs in lane, you will get chunked anyway so you won't able to get much cs. But even then ryze is a hard lane because Ryze like Jax is really strong at 1v1. Ryze's pretty much only weakness in lane (besides a few coutners) is jungle pressure and your q+e combo with jungler ganks should kill him. Plus Jax + most junglers win 2v2. If your jungler is smart he will gank top often.

Edit: I feel the way to lane agianst Ryze with Jax is to push the lane to his tower. Make him choose between chunking you and cs. If you harass him and your e hits minions the wave should push heavily towards him. Ryze is bad at csing under tower, if you get chuked recall and the wave should reset if you manage to push into the tower. Repeat and you should be able to bully him out of lane after you get triforce or botrk in the midgame, because Ryze has a midgame power dip.

Jax and Ryze share the same strengths and weakness, good at 1v1 but vulnerable to ganks and bad teamfights without good initiation. Usually shutting down these two is a team effort.

Critically though it lowers her laning power, because if she's having to spam heals on cooldown she runs out of mana fairly quick, and the lower damage on Q and mana cost on E will hit her laning hard.

For passive support Raka who stands behind the ADC and gives them stats though, it's probably a buff.

I like it.

It's also important to note that a lot of matchups actually require Jax to max the leap first.

Some people like the full support playstyle. There isn't anybody really other than Soraka and Janna who fit it.
