JaX mid lane! SICK!

[quote=iSpitInYourFace]hello there summoners! As you see the title on this thread is about [[jax]] on the mid lane!!! I know it sounds very weird but i have tested him and his surprisingly strong mid laner! I have played about 10 games and most of them i TOTALLY CRASHED mid opponents like [[ashe]][[teemo]][[ahri]][[annie]][[orianna]][[LeBlanc]][[xerath]]...the only champion he did some fine job against me was [[katarina]].I lost 2 of 3 duels but on the second one she left with 5 hp! So it was kinda tie...The thing i noticed that is really funny is that your mid opponents have no experience about facing [[jax]] on the mid PLUS the true fact that he is the best 1v1 champion,make them play defensively and in frustration! [[leap strike]]+[[ignite]]+[[exhaust]]+[[relentless assault]] is a great ''poke'' combo before minions come!!! :::D Either you get first blood against a squishy guy without escapes or he [[flash]]es back with minimun health and recalls back so you can easily farm the first minion wave, or he will stand like an idiot under his turret with 60 hp watching you farming and the right moment you jump in their face and u have the kill! :::) [[jax]] has a very powerful harass [[empower]]+[[leap strike]] for squishes mid champions and a counter ability for ad carries [[counter strike]].He is tougher than the most mid champions he will face and farming is unexpectedly easy... and farming for [[jax]] its very crucial because he is item dependant,but on the other hand he is also a lethal ganker. So what is the lane that provides both ganking opportunities and wealthy farming? MID! I strongly think about playing [[jax]] mid exclusively!!! So if he is considered to be the toughest 1v1 guy and one of the most OP champions,then MID lane would be the proof for this statement! Any thoughts? :::) P.S PLZ VISIT MY BUILD ON [[JAX]] THE JAXMANIAN DEVIL! happy holidays and...lamp shaped bruises! :::D[/quote]

[quote=Jpikachu1999]Er, first of all, [[Jax]] is not considered the best 1v1 dueler in the game, at least not by many. Secondly, if you aren't running [[Flash]] or [[Ghost]] mid lane, you are doing something wrong. The fact that you have to [[Leap Strike]] to get close should be an easy warning that you will get ganked because of it. Lastly, since when did Jax become a lethal ganker? There are many other characters who are much better at ganking than Jax. Still, it's an interesting idea, so I'll give you props for thinking of it. I just think [[Talon]] or [[Pantheon]] would still do better.[/quote]

[quote=iSpitInYourFace]hey friend thnx about posting your thoughts...well just played another game [[jax]] (23/11/9) mid vs [[gragas]]! a new challenger for me...wellllll...i totally destroyed him!!! then around 5 lvl [[mordekaiser]] came mid to ''handle this weird mider'' as he said...but... :::D as for my summoner spell picks let me tell you this..if you build movement speed and tenacity believe me that you will end up with an uncontrolled beast! if you read the background story of [[jax]] everyone admits [[jax]] is the supreme duelist and besides the story i think that many people believe that too.yes its true that are many better gankers than [[jax]] but he is doing fine with ganks and can handle easy an enemy gank in mid with the [[counter strike]] OR [[leap strike]] on a ward under your turret!!!!!...plz give a try on him mid! he rules![/quote]

[quote=The Overmyynd]I've never lost a lane to a [[jax]] as a [[mordekaiser]]. And while this would work out wonderfully against people like [[gragas]] and [[teemo]] who have no hard form of CC, I really can't imagine champs with really hard forms of CC like [[zyra]], [[ryze]] and the like would have a hard time against him. Champs that go to mid lane and are mele have a harder time in general, but they usually have long range abilities to harass and keep the enemy champ away or at least afraid to get close. My personal opinion is, keep him in your roster as a "wtf" surprise champ (as I am always game for the unorthodox), but doing exclusive jax mid probably wouldn't work out for you in the long run.[/quote]

[quote=Nighthawk]I've certainly tried it, but his laning isn't great and he can get outpoked reaaaaly easy.[/quote]

[quote=iSpitInYourFace][quote=Nighthawk] I've certainly tried it, but his laning isn't great and he can get outpoked reaaaaly easy. [/quote] mr.nighthawk... [[jax]] mid is a very weird choice and u have to experiment with many runes/masteries combos till you get some fine balance so i really do not encourage average [[jax]] players to play him mid ESPECIALLY in ranked games.Yes he can get outpoked reeeeeally easy BUT on the other hand [[jax]] has a very powerful and EASY harass to land at 2 lvl...[/quote]

[quote=sirell]If I can beat a [[Jax]] solotop with [[Yorick]] (never lost lane to a [[Jax]] in ranked... about 4-5 games), rest assured that I could probably own him mid-lane as well. The only thing I can think of for playing [[Jax]] mid is his roaming power, since he can jungle as well, so ganking power doesn't decrease there.[/quote]

[quote=sirell]Also, what summoner level are you? I have never seen an [[Ashe]] mid in draft/ranked unless it was to cover for a DC/AFK. So why you'd be facing her is beyond me.[/quote]

YOU WOULD NEVER PLAY [[yorick]] mid lane in a normal game with a normal team composition right ;)so about 90% the adc or the ap caster will face [[jax]] mid. So after playing about 30 games mid with [[jax]]] so on, i ended up with a rune/mastery/starting item/spells recipe that TOTALLY CRASHES MOST MID LANERS! if u are really interesting about my secret recipe i can PM you ;) I play LoL 2 years now and i have played 2000+ games so to answer you for my summoner lvl :)[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy][[jax]] goes mid, meets AP [[master yi]] and cries. Oh, actually, every champ does that.[/quote]
