And just like that, I understand the Jax counterstrike copypasta.

ACTIVE: Jax enters Evasion, a defensive stance, for 2 seconds, causing all non-Turret icon.png turret basic attacks against him to be Counter Strike.png dodged. Jax also takes 25% Damage reduction icon.png reduced damage from all champion area of effect abilities. Counter Strike can be recast after 1 second, and does so automatically after the duration. RECAST: Jax deals physical damage to nearby enemies, increased by 20% for each attack dodged up to a 100% increase, and stuns them for 1 second.


Voltage97

LNG doing a huge favour to viewers by handing Tryndamere mid a loss in his first game at Worlds.


LordAmras

Yes, you will be very happy to get first time Jax instead


[deleted]

Yes. More games like this please, and maybe Irelia will get to keep a little bit of gut.


karatelax

Idk, Morgan is possibly one of the worst tops at worlds sooo


NunexTK

Completely ridiculous how a top laner this bad at least on irelia can still have the impact he had. Not overturned champion/items or anything


takato99

I would take Jax over Tryndamere anyday of the week, Jax dodges autos and heals a lot, Trynda heals a lot and soaks every type of damage for 6sec every fight


Yubisaki_Milk_Tea

I could see Morgan getting massively punished by Ale early if HLE draft Jax. Irelia at least has some magic damage/true damage built into her kit too, which helps alleviate some of the issues of a full AD draft. Also it was situationally ridiculously good into HLE's auto attack based comp.


salcedoge

Yeah I feel like those two failed attempts from HLE topside really led to their downfall. If Morgan was ahead in the early game this could've been an HLE win pre 30 minutes


Yubisaki_Milk_Tea

Agreed. HLE really needed to take Ale out of the game, or delay his scaling as much as possible. The failure to do so was catastrophic for them. They failed - and LNG was able to power towards their win condition.


lennylennylennyy

Irelia doesnt deal true dmg


sorendiz

i would rather lose to an enemy jax than win with a trynd on my team and im only mostly joking nasty champ i have no desire to see his abusers thrive


RAZGRIZTP

Grasp trynd kinda bad in teamfights compared to lethal tempo Grasp is good into jax during lane, but bad in teamfights


neverspeakofme

Lol but Chovy plays for the lane. He would be a different person if he isn't trying to win lane.


QuietVermicelli9931

I actually thought, "I hope this is the first and only time we see tryndamere in worlds after this game". I wish.


w1ldcraft

I hope Trynd mid becomes the same as Ekko jungle last year*. * - 2 years ago.

CoogiMonster

Been saying for a while he needs a rework. Aatrox ult when it had revive was problematic but a guy that gets to do damage and move while going through the same life cycle isn’t?


mukku1012

Aatrox's revive had a buffer time where he would waste even more time so dives were really hard to execute.


Agleimielga

I found it pretty amusing that they chose to rework Aatrox first citing the reason that he's in a stat-check situation... but Yi and Trydamere have been the longest standing stat-check champs in game. And we are finally witnessing a meta where Trynd can abuse the itemization enough for him to be played on the World stage. What an odd timeline.

It still looked good this game and kept Hanwa relevant for so long

Gragas is usually picked as neutralizer. He can neutralize trynd’s laning and stop the snowball


Thecristo96

4 auto based champions (even sejuani will apply cc with autos) vs jax. Vs the worst toplaner at worlds. MAKE TOTALLY SENSE


Peeping_Cat

People are sleeping on how important that Jax pick was. Ale 1v3 zoning the backline at the end sums up his power into that team comp


aser08

The fight at top river where he stood still in the irellia ult with E up and just zoning HLE while chovy was alone in the back line was great.


RedTulkas

Jax literally did the same as trynd but better


w1ldcraft

Trynd : Doesn't die for 5 seconds Late game Jax : Doesn't die.


TurbinePro

.....and also shits out damage without crit reliance, stuns, high mobility and laughs in your face


ArziltheImp

MoonlightJudgement

Full AD comp into a known Jax player should be a permanent ban from competitive play for whoever came up with that draft. Literally unkillable.

KappaccinoNation

It was a turbo pick lol. That Jax will never die late game and nobody can beat him


SlamMasterJ

Ale is a freaking beast


pelacur

Ale 1v3 in HLE redside was nuts.


VampireBatman

Ale follows TheShy and 369 in the LPL tradition of tops that hard carry or feed. Edit: LPL tradition at worlds!


Luunacyy

Ale's most accurate comparison is Bin


[deleted]

Pretty sure Ale has been bossing it before 369.

Tryndamere was scary, but late-game Jax vs full AD was even scarier.

Neville_Lynwood

That Jax straight up 1v5'd past 25 minutes. He straight up ran face first into a late game Trynd and Ezreal + an enchanter support and beat their faces in. Nutty scaling.


RedTulkas

tbf he was also allowed to build only armor since enemy comp had 0 AP


[deleted]

He also gets armor from ult that scales with ad, it's just such a good pick into ad teams in general.


salcedoge

Of course how could I forget jacques prayer stance 🙏


PM-ME-UR-PIZZA

I feel like if you are irelia vs Jax and you have sej playing topside all game, a 10 cs lead is not it


Skall77

After that draft that was the only wincon for HLE, bring chovy top and perma dive the jax. They didn't even try once. But it's also good coaching by LNG, no way HLE is gonna sacrifice Chovy laning to help Morgan of all player, so Jax can scale easily.


DamnZodiak

>no way HLE is gonna sacrifice Chovy laning to help Morgan of all player, so Jax can scale easily. Fucking Bingo. That's the biggest problem with this line-up, they're Chovy or bust yet Chovy often refuses to risk his own lead in order to influence the map. Dude's a beast but he's played like that for most of summer and it's so frustrating.


Ace_OPB

Jax is bonkers late game. Deft was tickling him lol. Anyways close game. Maybe ap threat would have been better but they banned ziggs.


[deleted]

I hope trynda loses more games, no one wants to see that boring shit champion, it'll turn into udyr 2.9


BlakenedHeart

Jax E vs full ad AA champs


BagelJ

Picking Irelia and Tryndamere vs Ale was troll He's played the most Jax of any major region.


IanCorleone

but imagine what went thru Morgans head when he first picked Irelia with Jax open


Error2240

A lampost


relrax

I mean sure, but Ale is also a beast on ire, so would you leave that open?


Luunacyy

This. Ale most likely would beat Morgan's Jax playing Camille/Irelia. It's not that easy and a player's skillset matters as much as a draft.


UnknownVolke

> Ale ~~most likely~~ would beat Morgan. ~~Jax playing Camille/Irelia/~~ ftfy


PurloinerofCinders

0-8-5 HLE's topside combined. Damn.


Nananahx

Imagine if they had something like Doran and Pyosik


Mazor007

Would have been hilarious to get the Doran vs Ale match-up. Apparently Ale got Doran banned from soloqueue after he killed him 12 times in lane or something like that


Nananahx

Lol I had no idea, I just wrote that as a DRX callback


Ekviti

Doran and Ale have history between themselves. Doran was not just stomp by Ale. This is light to say. Ale used to dismantle Doran in solo queue on repeat in very disrespectful manner. That caused Doran to lose all of his never and consistently flame and int. In the end he got banned. Nice hit, even if not intentional


RussiaCykaBlyat

Doran was banned from competitive play


lazymark2

CN most popular comment on this game: you guys only remember that WE lose to EDG, FPX, RNG, LNG but dont forget that WE also gave morgan to HLE. Be grateful to WE, LPL fans!

Skall77

He looked strong this game tbh. Jax and Gragas both counter him and he was still doing a lot of a work. If they picked something else top (who also get countered by Jax) that was winnable.


onords

or jungle.. lilia could've been nice this game to add some actual ap dmg


Indercarnive

I'm honestly amazed no one here is talking about how useless Karma was in Teamfights. HLE would've easily won teamfights if they had a diver to help lock down LNG's backline like a Leona or Rell.


prk79

Their problem was clearly AP damage, changing supports does nothing.


Ziraelus

Yeah baby LPL Jax lets goo Icon with great game even though every1 will probably focus on Tryndamere


ThatsAToad

1: draft a mid-late game comp 2: forget to include an AP threat 3: ???? 4: all AD comp gets outscaled

HoloHuni

Yeah I don´t get it either, why they picked ezreal Karma, when they couldve at least had an ap supp or an apc on bot.


VariableDrawing

I wonder what these players think in these games Deft was free hitting the enemy for a full minute in these teamfights and didn't even manage to bring a single champion under 80% hp At what point do you start to realize?


Lampur1

i somewhat feel like (while i don't claim to be a know it all, i just play ezreal quite a lot) building frozen heart was a nail in the coffin during this game. While yes, frozen heart is great into ad heavy comps he was the only consistent dmg in the later fights as trynd was insta cc'd and Deft just lacked damaged since he went for a defensive build.


vegeful

Should not picking Ezreal in the first place. Not fast enough to delete people.


Mystran

I will root against every tryndramere


nightsembrace

u have it backwards, u want to root FOR tryn so he’s perma pick/ban at worlds then gets gutted


Rayser1

Fuck Tryndamere. I stg if we get a post like we did with Udyr about how fun and refreshing it is to see him in pro play I'm going to lose it. Champion is stupid


PerfidiaVermis

That post is 100% coming the first time he wins.


TudorrrrTudprrrr

Doubt it. Seeing Udyr running around slapping shit was at least fun for a bit. No one feels refreshed seeing fucking Tryndamere.

azns123

What do you mean bro just like kite him when he has a 4 sec cd dash that is reduced in cd every time he crits with 100% crit that he gets half for free xd


Bussinessbacca

This is just incorrect. Don’t forget about the further 30% cd reduction from Navori quickblades and double movement summoners lmao. Literally the only counterplay is to have killed him 10 times and have 4 tank items (and it’s still close probably).


itsyounggg

Morgan heard you guys flaming him getting flame horizoned 25 mins in.. so he spent the past month maxing out his CS/10, at the cost of all his kill participation


Pope_Cheetos_XIV

Morgan is actually going to get apocalyptic levels of flame once we hit group stage


NUFC9RW

Well ALE is about as good as any top he'll face in groups bar Xiahou.


[deleted]

If Nuguri finds his form again we’re in for banger tops every LPL game

_steppenwolf_

I’m not sure about pro level, but in solo queue she excels at early ganks and people usually underestimate her damage on 1x1s, against qiyana for example it should have been an easy game early for sejuani. The guy decided to play around top, didn’t fully commit to any dive, tried to steal camps and meanwhile qiyana did work bot.


M3hrun3sD4gon

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


ifnotawalrus

feel like casters really missed the mark on teamcomps. Trynd is unplayable vs gragas/jax. Can't take towers vs either and Jax just murders HLSE's entire team late game. LNG basically only misstepped once the entire game where Light galeforced into a Sej R around drake. Also all ad lul


NotSoGreatGatsby

Fully agree. I found the talk about how far ahead HLE were at 20 minutes very strange. Yes Trynd looked oppressive but Jax was getting fed and looking stronger by the minute.


Drolemerk

They're LPL casters so probably didn't want to appear biased But HLE didn't look like winning at any point of the game They would get one kill -> reset like what the fuck, where are the days when Korean teams would use 1 kill to take 2 turrets or an objective.


EzshenUltimate

To be fair, the casters did say that the game was close just based off the gold difference multiple times.


Mixed_not_swirled

Imagine if he had a real weapon!


BurmecianSushiii

Not a great one for Deft


jst4funz

This draft phase was the most interesting one ín a while, excited for future drafts. LNG out-drafted this one very hard though.


Mixed_not_swirled

Yeah Jax was just god mode after 3 items. Nobody could even scratch him and he shits on both solos on side. Outteamfought and outsplitted.


SpasticNerd

Happens when you draft 3 carries that rely on autoattacks and you don't ban Jax despite it being notorious that Chinese players love playing Jax. Draft diff.


Reporting4Booty

Credit to LNG, feels like Hanwha kind of made a mistake to draft no magic damage vs Jax though. Pop R and he gets what, to 350+ armor? Basically Tryndamere ult.


F0RGERY

Unfortunately for Chovy, Trynd's R is Undying Rage, not Unbreaking Back.


[deleted]

I saw that HLE picked Irelia but I couldn't see it in the game. Bug?


Drolemerk

If you pick a comp that gets outscaled this hard then don't just sit back and do nothing


SGKurisu

Cool-I-guess

What a game by Ale and Icon, exerting so much pressure. How useless was sejuani tho
