UPDATE NOTES:
I finished Don't Feed Jax shortly after he was reworked. Riot decided he needed a few buffs in the Ziggs patch, and the mechanical changes aren't in this video. Here they are:

-Counterstrike can be canceled early to stun immediately
-Counterstrike deals a bonus percentage of damage based on the number of attacks dodged, up to a maximum of 100% bonus damage
-Counterstrike reduces damage from AOE

There were a few other small numbers buffs as well, though they don't affect the content in the video.

There are a few other things that I need to cover that aren't in the video. First, Jax may be reworked slightly again, particularly his ultimate and some quality of life issues (I just read these posts as I was finishing up the video).

Let me cover a few ability notes:
1. Jax used to gain run speed if he needed to move to reach his target after Leap Strike. I could not reproduce this with the new patch. The mechanic may still be there but I tried a number of scenarios with no success.

2. Using his Empower with his Leap Strike is a sure hit. You can activate abilities while he is Leap Striking, by the way, so you can use anything in-flight.

3. Empower won't go on cooldown until it's consumed.

4. An empowered attack is completely consumed by spell shields (not just the bonus damage).

As far as runes/masteries/etc., I generally followed advice on solomid. Because of the shortage of space for this movie field (given how much I took up w/ the notes above), I'll link you directly to Dyrus' guide which is partially updated at this stage:

For jungling, I was generally more offensive and generally more successful as well. I went with my Olaf Jungle runes/masteries (look up my summoner profile).


SERIES UPDATE
Hope you guys like the audio! This is an Audio Technica AT2020 microphone I picked up specifically to improve my recording quality (virtually no background noise).

Vladimir is next up, Ziggs on the horizon, Sivir potentially soon as well. We'll see. Stay tuned to the stream to get an idea where I'm at. :)

Don't Feed is a video series that covers champions in greater detail than the Champion Spotlight. This series is descriptive, not prescriptive, meaning that I aim to provide you with solid information without telling you which items, runes, or masteries are best (as these frequently change). With this information, you can better play against these champions, and you may be interested in learning to play them. Even after more than a thousand games, I am still learning new things about these champions by making these videos, and I'm sure the vast majority of LoL players can learn a lot from these.

My goal is to provide these videos for all champions in League of Legends.
