How to Beat Jax as Vladimir (Top)

The Vladimir versus Jax matchup in the top lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

The magic damage that Vladimir deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Jax has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

An important advantage of Vladimir is higher farming statistics (ranked 3rd among role champions) (versus 17th for Jax), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.6 versus 2.0) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Vladimir Top versus Jax Top matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Vladimir player to maintain constant pressure on Jax, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Vladimir tips:

  • Transfusion instantly deals damage to the enemy before healing Vladimir, making it one of the best last hitting tools in the game.
  • Cast Hemoplague where it will afflict the most units.
  • Sanguine Pool pops incoming missiles, so it can be used to dodge disables.

Playing Against Jax

  • Try to engage him in short bursts instead of going toe-to-toe with him. Preventing him from attacking consecutively drastically lowers his damage output.
  • Jax can dodge all incoming attacks for a very short amount of time and stuns enemies in melee range when it ends. Wait to strike him until after his dodge is finished.
