Yasuo vs Jax

How the fuck are you supposed to beat Jax as Yasuo in top lane? Jax right clicks then goes afk and kills you, even if you EQ a minion then E back through him to go back to turret he out trades with 2 auto attacks.

Simple answer is you don't unless the Jax is really bad. He's one of Yasuo hardest counters.

Honestly Jax is quite strong right now, I don't think there is anyone that can actually duel him effectively. Maybe Xin or trundle coulld but generally speaking jax will 2 shot pretty much anyone.

Believe it or not Vayne can if she condemns his stun and kites him. But it's generally best not to try and 1 v 1 Jax late game.

That's because vayne also 2 hits everyone. But if Jax manages to turn on the counterstrike before the stun he prob still win trade, if he gets the stun before vayne will also win the trade. So yeah vayne can but odds are stacked against her

Yeah Jax pretty much beats all 1v1 late game. He's always been like that but not picked often.

Nasus bolo stomps Jax late game in a 1v1.

Tryndamere can potentially beat him, but it's hard.

Master Yi vs. Jax is a skill match up.

Nasus will definetly stomp him in a 1v1 but jax normally won't stay for that long lol.

Then the game is unbalanced. There should be a way for a champion to beat any other champion even if they are a counter. There should be a viable option to outplay the other person without them just being blatantly bad. If you can right-click afk kill somebody, like literally right click them and then leave your keyboard, then the champion needs to be changed or nerfed.

Try Illaoi vs Nasus.... that's the definition of unfair. No matter what Illaoi does Nasus will come on top. Poke him with souls, Nasus stacks tentacles. Try to poke him with your Q, lane pushes,and Nasus farm under turret. Try to poke with AA, nasus ignores you and heals back to full HP by stacking minions. Try to roam (lmao) and realize you are a useless roamer, btw Nasus is now free farming top. Honestly the best you can do is let Nasus free farm and hope he lets you free farm as well and go for a more supportive role.

Jax is the most autistic champ in the game, right next to annie and lux.

Akali can dive 5 people at full health. take 489573 tower shots and massive cc get a penta then exit tower with full health.

Out of thousands of words to describe Jax, in multiple languages, you chose autistic? I have worked with autistic people, and not a single one could take on gods. Some of them had trouble eating by themselves, let alone fighting trained killers. Seriously person, get some class(or at least a better vocabulary).

I'm a jax main so I'll do my best to answer this.

You don't. Straight up, that is one of the easiest match ups for Jax. Yasuo has no escape (dashes to minions don't count as they are in the middle of the lane and Jax has a targeted gap closer), Yas is squishy as all hell (so is jax early game but he can put out way more damage for being that squishy) and to top it all off the majority of Yasuos damage can be dodged with e.

Jax however is pretty easy to beat in lane. He has a couple powerspikes you need to watch out for but until he gets rageblade he wont have much damage and even then he is still made out of squish until he gets a tank item.

Level 1: Jax has the advantage in most melee matchups due to almost all damage being aa and him having counter. Ranged matchups dick on him though (liss, gnar, fcking quinn)

Level 2: Jax usually is even with the enemy now but anyone with a bit of tankyness will outlast his damage without w (range still shits on him less but if they took their escape then he is never going to get in range)

Level 3-5: Probably the most skill based part of the laning phase. Jax will attempt to either wait for cds to be blown and engage with e or engage with q and use e to stun and back off. Jax will probably ask for ganks around this time.

Level 6: Now you got power. Biggest thing to watch is a jax aa the minion wave twice and then jumping on you and aa reseting w to get w proc, aa and r proc and the same time. Its a bunch of burst and usually scares the crap out of the enemy allowing Jax to then e and keep fighting or back off. The biggest thing now is to just watch those aa and never be in range during the 3rd one. His stacks to trigger the 3rd proc fall off after about 4 sec.

Rageblade: He will begin to do tons of damage but is squishy as all hell. Easiest thing to do is just cc blow him up. Even tanky champs can easily 100-0 him due to him building zero hp so far.

First tank item: If you havn't shut him down in the earlier phases or when he has rageblade then yeah he becomes an amazing duelist. One of the best splitpushers and he does his job well. He is supposed to be able to 1v1 most champs while in a side lane because he is shit in teamfights. Exhaust him and he just dies along with being forced to go all in with only one escape or engage spell.

You don't pick Yasuo into Jax. Easy. He hard counters you, you need lvl 3 jungle gank at all time. Pick a diff champ vs Jax.

Malph can destroy him. Naut can slap him around.
