Jax is outclassed by Riven in every possible way atm

She has a way better laning phase, she can roam better, she is more mobile, her mid game is way better, and she carries games as hard

Anything going to be done about this? He's been a troll pick in any decent elo since last May when he got his base stats nerfed to be lower than ranged AD's. Yes, He has less base armor than most ADCs, including Ashe.

The only two top lane champs worse than Jax atm are Gangplank and Olaf

Well, Jax is still stronger late game, but yeah he's not in a great place right now.

I played a Shen against Jax recently and could successfully out-duel him while largely even (that we won the game admittedly has more to do with the unfortunate fact that the enemy mid-laner was DC'd all game though). That's not normal, right?

No he isn't

The only time he's even remotely stronger is when he has 6 items and is potted

Even with 4-5 items I'd rather have Riven. Riven doesn't need to build a ton of stats to destroy everything, and she AOEs teams while shredding their armor with cleaver.

There's no comparison at all

Shyvana was at least played in the LCS recently before the Smite nerfs

But yea she's garbage too

which is sad. i got champ mastery 4 on shyvana and she won me my plat promos. I'd like her to not be a troll pick top, but currently, she's actually better in the jungle.

Riven kind of outclasses every bruiser but irelia though. It's like how sej outclasses every jungler and jinx is the best adc their is always going to be a #1.
