@RiotKatana @lolesports @CrsQuas When it comes to splitpushing, never underestimate your ability to pressure the turret while ahead 1/2

@CrsQuas @RiotKatana @lolesports You can always go for potshots on towers with jax when you are ahead, especially with a trinity force! :)

Today we learned that if you ask ZionSpartan about one of his favorite champions, you get three tips for the price of one. Jax is a notoriously strong split pusher thanks to some help from a stacking attack speed passive. Everyone knows that turrets are week to lamp posts. Zion is suggesting that if you've got a lot of damage and are ahead in lane, don't be afraid to poke the tower.

@RiotKatana @lolesports @CrsQuas Also, never underestimate the ability to initiate a teamfight by flash counterstriking into the enemy team!

— Darshan Upadhyaya (@ZionSpartan) September 4, 2014

And there's the tip we really wanted. This is the Jax player dream: Flash-Leap Striking onto the enemy ADC and getting off that three man stun while your team (hopefully) follows up behind you. Bear in mind that you have to have good communication with your team or you'll be a lonely Jax behind enemy lines. If you're all on the same page, though, this is a really great initiate especially if your team can pile on the cc.

@RiotKatana @lolesports @ZionSpartan when it comes to lategame, make sure you save your E to protect yourself from the ADC rather than stun

— Diego Ruiz (@CrsQuas) September 4, 2014

Essentially the opposite of Zion's last tip, Quas's recommendation is for the more even-keeled lover of Jax. While his E is a great way to initiate a teamfight, it also means that you'll be completely vulnerable after you use it. If you don't have a ton of armor, saving the invulnerability can be a safer way to play it...but where's the fun in that?

Community Tips

@RiotKatana @lolesports @ZionSpartan @CrsQuas the W is an auto attack reset. so you should use it immediately after an autoattack

— Cloudwalker/Angwar (@MalteMittelhaus) September 3, 2014

Auto attack resets are an important part of being able to trade effectively. The extra burst of damage can easily be the difference between life and death, especially in the lonely island of top lane. Use your W immediately after auto attacking for a surprising burst of damage. Vote for next week's Pro Tip to help decide which pros will weigh in on Yasuo!
