What are some tips for the Irelia vs. Jax matchup?

This is arguably Irelia's worst matchup. Your only path to victory is if the Jax player makes significant errors. You must kite away from his E; use your Q on minions to create distance. If you can't escape, use your W to mitigate the damage. The only time you can trade or all-in is when his E is on cooldown. He will heavily outscale you in the 1v1, so your strategy must be to shove the wave, roam, and kill his squishier teammates.

Malphite	Easy	226	44%	+425	+1,298	Once Malphite purchases early armor like Bramble Vest or Plated Steelcaps, he can actually win the 1v1. Your strategy should shift from trying to kill him to simply farming and looking for opportunities to kill his squishier teammates. Do not die to him in lane; a single death will likely cause you to lose all future duels against him until the late game.

Gangplank	Easy	221	57%	+415	+211	💬 No tips yet — Be the first to add a tip!

Jayce	Easy	219	56%	+319	+715	Against a skilled Jayce, this lane can be hell. Focus on getting to your Vampiric Scepter without taking excessive poke damage; taking Second Wind is recommended. Your kill opportunities arise when he positions too close to low-health minions, allowing you to Q to them to close the gap. Always use your W to mitigate the damage from his hammer-stance knockback.
