Jax needs a slight compensation buff after 9.12 corrupting pot nerfs

After the 9.2 base AD and q damage nerf, that was enough to weaken his early game and give opponents a chance to shut him down early game. Corrupting pot and time warp tonic was the only thing keeping his early game in-tact and now after the nerfs its very hard to win lane as jax and if the enemy opponent is good they can deny you a bunch of CS. His win-rate dropped to below 50% in patch 9.14.... there's no reason not to slightly buff his base stats in order to be viable in lane.

Jax is one of the most cancerous champs to play against. He just needs to build a trinity and go full tank and he can one shot any squishy champ anyway. Even when he's behind he's a pain in the ass, and don't even get me started on a fed Jax.

He doesn't need help at all, if anything he would need a nerf.

Yea jax doesn't need a buff, near 50% win rate top, so he's actually pretty fair

Unless the game drags on and he hits full build, in which case lol gl

No.

Conquerer needs nerfs, ( Heal 33% as effective for AOE .)

and bruisers need to be looked at as a whole, conquerer should just be removed imo. lmfao.

Jax is fine, he should be punishable in lane phase/early and he is, but he still spikes massively with item 3078 completion and keeps scaling til level 18 and max build. Weak early, reasonably strong spike midgame with triforce, and Very strong late @ 3+ items.

And I'm saying this as a jax player (in the jungle), Jax is close enough to balanced how he is now.

Your asking him to be more like vlad who is much harder to punish early because of his sustain, is decently strong midgame when he hits max cdr w/ component items (and runes), and is an insane aoe teamfight destroyer lategame. And vlad is absolute cancer because of this.
