I think Jax is going to see some nerfs in the future. He's developing the same sort of problem as pre-nerf Jayce. Pre-nerf Jayce beat everyone in lane and outscaled most toplaners whereas Jax beats most toplaners and outscales everyone. Right now Jax has an absolute advantage in scaling and a comparative advantage in laning.

Personally I think a good change would be to put duration scaling on his E. 1 second of dodge at level 1 scaling to 2 seconds when maxed like Irelia's stun/slow.

Frozen fist is really overrated from useing it on the pbe. Black cleaver ravenous hydra jax is what your looking for.

Like, If you thought nashors triforce ga jax was out of control you have no idea what you're in for in s3 when bc hydra jax comes.

I don't see how Black Cleaver is good for him...magic damage is a huge part of Jax's DPS and building Black Cleaver doesn't benefit that at all.

shh!
im having too much fun with him


also im still not sure he is nerfworthy. there is always going to be a champ or small group of champs that stand out as the best and one of those is jax. it's not as bad as pre-nerf jayce tbh. pre-nerf jayce was nearly unbeatable and basically ungankable.


oh hey do u guys really think nashors triforce jax is better to aim for than gunblade triforce..?

I honestly don't think Jax even really needs more offensive items on top if trinity. But I've been seeing wings just sit on a vamp scepter during laning and building nashors after trinity if he gets really fed. It seems super strong but idk if it's completely because the item just synergizes really well with Jax or if it's just because wings is always fed when he builds it.

as long has jax has his 2 second dodge he's going to be too strong imo
it helps that he literally outtrades everybody around levels 6 and even before then his auto w auto and stun are really good traders. he supports ganks so well, too. late game he's so beast

He definitely isn't as bad as pre-nerf Jayce but he is in need of some tweaking. He straight up out lanes most top laners (granted not on the same level that Jayce used to) and even his less favourable matchups are more or less even. Add onto that the fact that he's got by far the strongest late game scaling and he's pushing into OP territory.

It is true that there is always a top tier but Jax's top tier is too much above the rest IMO. Irelia is a good example of a hero that is top tier without being broken. She's got great mobility and scales very well but gets shit on by many toplaners in her early levels. There are many matchups that are nightmares for her (Jax is one of them, he's stronger at levels 1-4, weaker at level 5, and then just crushes her post 6 and outscales her) but she can trade that off for a stronger scaling into mid and late game. She gets beat early in return for beating you later. She fits well into almost any team comp but you'll be hesitant to first pick her cause the enemy can give her a real rough time with someone like Jax or Darius.

Jax on the other hand beats you early and then brutally rapes you with his lamppost no lube style late. He fits well into almost any team comp and there's no drawback to first picking him, almost nothing gives him a real rough time in lane (and he massively outscales anything that can go even with him/beat him).

I don't think he needs any major changes like what Ezreal and Jayce went through but I definitely think something needs to be done to tone down his power at some point in the game. He's a top 5 laner with the absolute best late game.

So. I was just playing on the PBE, and for some reason I had a Shen in my game that wanted to delay the win until he could solo Baron...

Anyways, I was sitting on six items as Jax and wanted to try something new so I built that Hyrda thing that builds from Tiamat.

Holy. Shit. That has to be the most broken item/champ combo ever.

I am pretty sure a Rioter mentioned that Jax may receive a nerf. So will Irelia.

Morello said he will maybe nerf irelia but I've seen nothing about a jax nerf. Also nashor's isn't a waste, you usually buy it when you already have 3-4 items and by that point slot efficiency is a big deal

It wasn't Morello. It was someone else talking about how Jax is OP.

21/9 - against lanes that are primarily farm lanes with low amounts of harassment. (Minion damage is blocked by counterstrike but it's still somewhat risky IMO)
9/14/7 - in most cases the safest path. Mana for lane sustain, minion damage + general damage reductions and all the important points in offense.
9/21 - Weaker in lane until you have your ultimate to trade with and enough mana to actually do stuff, somewhat better after triforce is built.
