EPTI still like to build Sheen before Phage if it's a match-up where I won't be able to fight without burning E, or will get my dps lowered (Nasus/Malphite's AS slows, Jayce's E dumb disengage, etc. and probably against ranged champs where I tend to max Q over W anyway).

Then you get back to lane and you are up on items (they shouldntve been able to back yet) and can regain control of the lane / catch up in whatever farm you are down / survive till 6 Then I go BOTRK if the lane is just too damn hard or Trinity any other time, followed by a bunch of tank items.

I really like pushing rather hard when I can, if only because people are much less aggressive when they have a tinier creep wave, even by only a few minions, and then you can push their face in, back, come back to lane, and suddenly you're almost level 6, healthy, and you haven't had to deal with excessively obnoxious stuff at early levels because they didn't dare to abuse yours. | ||

Pushing is great but you can't jump on someone for no reason. Using Q at the right time is the most important part about playing jax. | ||

Theres a lot of things I think about before I decide when to go all in, its not random unless I'm on tilt vs. a Teemo! If you are purple side: - The enemy jungler starts blue, you are safe for a level 3 all-in (assuming you have been pushing) - The enemy jungler starts red, you WILL be ganked @ 3:00-3:15, if your jungler is stronger you can set up a 2v2 and crush that (with your dblade start and pushing your lane you will be quite formidable), otherwise go "all-in" before that time and be sure to back or be in a safe spot by the time their jungler gets there. If you are blue side: - Stand in the top lane tribrush at level 1, if they enemy jungler started red your opponent will walk right through here after leashing and take a stupid amount of damage from you and your dblade start - (make sure the jungler didn't get antsy at that and go straight from red to top lane, most good jungler will not do this but you should always be sure) and then go all-in at level 3, you'll have time. - If they started blue, that trick likely wont work but you can know to expect a 3:00-3:15 gank and follow the same rules as before.

This should be for every champ. If you have just enough to buy your favorite item, then get something else and a few pots and wards because unless you know you're going to get a kill and not need those pots/wards they will likely help more. | ||

Every champ? what about catalyst (kass, ryze)? usually i have the 1200 around lvl5 or when i go back (since kass laning is a bit hard, with ryze i have more gold usually)...and the catalyst does the job of pots per level...but if i dont have the 75 for a ward is this a bad decision? i feel like if i got crystals + ward i'd have to go back again soon because that catalyst is just so useful for laning and roaming... | ||

Ok, maybe not every. There are definitely matchups where you don't need the potions and catalyst gives pretty decent sustain if you only need a little early on. I was hasty to say this. Maybe the scenario is specific to double dorans vs sheen. There are also definitely strong players who rarely get pots past the starting ones. Eg. Sykkuno. | ||

Triforce and maybe Gunblade makes you a 1v1 monster against anyone and is honestly just a lot more fun and feels a lot more correct. The problem is often times in teamfights you get bursted in 1 second and don't do any damage, so Botrk is more popular with tank items. How many games of Jax did you play to come to the conclusion that "Trifroce and Gunblade... feels a lot more correct?" I feel like anyone who plays enough would come to the opposite conclusion. Gunblade was already super awkward to build before they changed cutlass so it was weaker, post cutlass nerf there's pretty much no reason to go gunblade given how long it takes to build and how much of a dead weight item hextech revolver is for its cost, and this is especially true if you get Triforce first, because the awkward buildup means you're essentially forfeiting a lot of mid-game power for some later payoff that never really comes. BotRK is superior in long fights due to the passive and the attack speed it gives too, there's pretty much no reason to get gunblade, ever. | ||

Also, after getting BotRK and Triforce on Jax does one usually start getting defensive items? I'm thinking that a *rough* build for Jax is Boots, BotRK, Triforce and 3 Defensive items. Is this right or should I stick to not posting in the League subforum? | ||

I recently had a game where I just rushed Botrk and lifestealed away. You can't use your Q early and often have to use E to block autos, but the lane is go-evenable. Elise was probably the toughest lane I've faced top. But this was before they made cowl. I'm not sure how the lane would go now, or if I'd just gotten more magic resist that game. | ||

Has anyone changed their jax builds? botrk/triforce/randuin's/visage seems like a great core for jax now, and for each item the buildup items are great for laning (cutlass/phage/warden's/cowl). Gives great damage, lifesteal, tankiness, and excellent chasing. | ||

Since triforce now gives excellent chasing potential I don't really see why not to rush it. Preferred goto build now is triforce into frozen mallet into zephyr (or wit's end, or atmas(ye Im oldschool)). | ||
