Some information to counter OP champs

My cousin was plat 1 before he got permabanned, when I would watch him play, he would easily destroy champs people had a problem with.

jg Jax (not an issue in lane) is magic damage ULT = magic damage W = magic damage item 3930 = magic damage item 3124 = magic damage item 3091 = magic damage A Jax with item 3930 item 3153 item 3124 item 3146 item 3006 item 3026 will have a decent amount of physical damage, but the magic damage is still the primary damage here. Of course a Jax with item 3930 item 3091 item 3115 item 3124 item 3006 item 3153 is purely magic damage. So build magic resist.

With Jax in jungle, Darius was top lane. Regardless of how this guy is built, he's purely physical damage, so you build armor.

My cousin got two double kills against these two top lane. He ran a full armor rune page. Quints and Seals were scaling, marks were flat, scaling magic resist glyphs.

He picked Malphite (said Rammus would work just as well, but since mid-lane was Leblanc , he said he "couldn't use Rammus against her")

Anyways, as Malphite he rushed item 3068, killed Darius pretty early on starting with item 1028 item 2003 item 2003 then recalling and getting item 3751. Then he built item 3082 and item 3047 . After Jax killed him the 1st time, around the 18 minute mark, my cousin looked like he was going to break his keyboard (if you guys had me on snapchat, you'd have been amused, raging at its finest).

Anyways, after my cousin farmed a little, he got item 3065 item 3102 before finishing his armor. Next time Jax came to lane, did no damage to him at all. Then he was all, "I should have picked Galio lol" <---- I still don't get what he meant by that, but whatever

Anyways, to wrap up this post, what I got out of this is that you need MR to play against Jax.

Well, Galio is devestating to AP users. His passive gives him AP for a certain amount of his magic resist.

And Galio's ult can wreck in a teamfight.

Galio is like the AP version of Rammus, but yeah you've got the right idea, most of the people who come here to complain about "OP" champions are going to stay stuck at their current rating until they realize that there will always be something that's "OP", because as soon as you nerf one thing something else rises up to replace it. So the best strategy is just to work on playing against these champions.
