User blog comment:Alonlah/Who is the best dueler in the game?/@comment-13944607-20140122183024

I'm very surprised that not many people mention Vayne as the best duelist. It's been generally accepted for quite a long time that Vayne was the best duelist, with Zed clocking in at number 2. You'll notice they both deal very a large amount of damage while also avoiding the opponents damage, which wins duels by default. Jax is a good duelist, but not as good as the aforementioned because he just facetanks their damage, and its a race to see who can out DPS (to be fair not many champs can top jax in raw DPS later on in the game).

So, Vayne, Zed, Jax, in that order. You also have to remember that a lot of the duelists being mentioned are melee. Vayne will kite a melee till the ends of the earth, and there's always condemn.
