Top Lane Champions: Let's begin breaking down the Solo Carry champions, starting with Top Lane. While recent item changes mainly focused on ADCs, one item adjustment has brought Jax back into the meta: Trinity Force. This buff has made Trinity Force extremely powerful on Jax, with a pick rate of around 20% in Masters ELO and above. However, lower ELO players haven't caught on yet, only buying Trinity in 8% of games. Jax's win rate in lower ranks has been affected because players opt for Rageblade, which isn't optimal.For Jax, a simple win condition is to fight upon completing Trinity Force. The dueling power skyrockets at this point, making it ideal if you're unfamiliar with your matchups. Malphite poses a tough challenge for Jax, so banning him is wise. A strong build for Jax consists of Trinity Rush, Blade of the Ruined King as the second item, and Spear of Shojin as the third. The recommended rune page is Lethal Tempo with Triumph, Alacrity, and Last Stand, followed by free boots and biscuits.
The rise of auto-reliant Top Lane champs like Jax and Kayle has also brought more priority to Malphite. Malphite dominates these matchups over 54% of the time. However, be cautious of AP top laners like Mordekaiser and Sylas, as they can pose problems for Malphite. Ban Silas to be safe.
For Malphite, a win condition is to isolate the fed enemy carry in fights, making it your highest priority. Utilizing fog of war to sneakily land your R is essential. Positioning yourself where the enemy can't see you will greatly improve the hit rate of your ultimate. The recommended build for Malphite is an Iceborn Gauntlet rush, followed by Sunfire Aegis as the second item, and a situational tank item as the third. Grasp is the preferred Keystone in melee matchups, while Comet works well in range matchups or more challenging lanes where you'll be maxing Q (like Jax).
