So did the changes actually affect how you build jax? Specifically asking USnip since you seem to have played jax most among all the TL people, but anyone is free to chime in with advice.

Man I've had nothing but amazing results with Jax. I've gone 7-0 since buff in ranked games at 1400 elo albeit but he is a dominant top laner now and great in teamfights. The resistances really add up and he is really build versatile. The first thing I always rush is gunblade - The slow and 300 dmg nuke is super strong early game with Jax. From there, build against your opponents offensively. For instance, I was vs. Fiora top lane and Leblanc mid was fed on opposing team. So my build went Gunblade, Tabi, Guinsoo's, Rylai's. Since his MR scales well with AP (With stacked rageblade I was getting +89 MR for 8 seconds, which is HUGE).

Finding him Fantastic.

Just played jax a few games for the first time since patch. Actually seems really nice, but i can't really get my head around how to build him. Mass AD/AP for defense during ulti is so squishy when ulti is down. Need health from some source, need a bit of armor/mres outside of ult, need AD/AP. There are just too many items that are kind of useful on jax :O

Only played a couple games with him since the patch, I dunno. Seriously doubt the build I was using last patch is any good though.

If I am seeing right your build is wriggles/dblades, wits, rylais?

I think that is probably the best standard build. My only change would be to go phage before rylais, then turn that into a triforce eventually.

Honestly jax does so much base damage I am considering a heavier tank build. something like wriggles, wits, warmogs. Can't imagine every getting away from a wriggles wits opening though.

Opinion about wriggles->rageblade instead of wriggles->wit's?

Much better with his current ultimate, at least in my opinion. I'm really torn, not sure how to build new Jax either. I've been going Wriggle's -> Rageblade -> Rylai's, but that was just a testrun. I really feel like he needs some way to stick to people and Rylai's is pretty neat for that purpose.
currently rooting for myself.

Even before his remake I wasnt a big fan of rageblade and I stll dont like it much. jax is fairly bursty since there is no one who is just going to stand there and trade autos with you. Hence charging it up is difficult.

Rylais is a fantastic item on him (def better than FM) but I never know the right time to get it because it is so darn expensive.

Rageblade synergizes really well with his new ultimate (and the passive), though. I've never been a big fan of it either, but after these current remakes, I think it's remarkably strong. It's still the most cost-efficient item in the game, after all. (IIRC).

rageblade has awful synergy with his passive lol. they both hit max stacks at the same time so neither of them helps charge up the other.

Yea that's the problem, the first few stacks take a LOT of time to get going. And everyone runs from you when you are swinging that giant lamppost in their face anyways QQ
Tbh, jax is a strong enough duelist with any balanced combination of offence+defence items. The more important part of learning him is to figure out how to actually play his laning phase.

Can you post a couple of your replays from last patch if you have them USnip? Cuz I have NO idea how to play him in lane.

No I don't have lol replay. If you have a US account we can play some games and I'll just show you what I was doing, I'm not a super great player or anything so don't expect to be blown away but I have a solid idea of what to do in lane with him.

as of previous patch

I'm rather new to this game and I find that starting off the game is really hard. And guides are so different

He definitely jumps in power at 6, but he can trade very well pre 6 vs certain champs.

Voyboy playing jax vs irelia right now in ggchronicle. I'm interested to see his build. i know voy likes to play pretty aggressive.

trinity force (sheen first) into gunblade
the game was pretty faceroll in general, but sheen rush does seem strong on jax as his w combined with sheen is insane burst / relatively cheap mana cost wise

Do the defensive stats scale during the ult if you hold a rageblade ?

To be fair, though, Voy already had gotten a big advantage in lane early before the sheen rush. Then he grabbed vamp scepter and a sheen. He got soloed by the irelia when he was up a kill and 10-15cs, he then got a double kill due to a terrible tower dive. Personally I don't think the sheen rush was a great move, but it is crazy damage so I can see it working.

Pretty sure that they don't, they only scale of your ap/ad at the moment of activation.

Either way, I think it is deceptive to say jax scales well defensively with ap/ad because of his ult. Look at the numbers, they are pretty bad. With a fully stacked rageblade you get 10.5 armor and 18.6 magic resist for 8 seconds, and I doubt you will be fully stacked since if you went for a fairly early rageblade then you need to pop ult just to keep from being blown up. The base numbers on ult are good enough to not build around the scaling portion.
