Why is Jax...

PhearBunny··8 votes·1,436 views

Allowed to be a tank, by building bruiser? Why is he allowed to be an assassin while building bruiser? Why does he have the 2nd highest sustained damage in the game while building bruiser? Why?

He is literally S tier quality Tank. S tier quality Assassin. S tier quality bruiser. S tier quality fighter. All at the same time, with a Bruiser build. The only thing he should be excelling at is being a bruiser, not excelling at LITERALLY EVERYTHING.

Is this thread real or sarcastic?

Because of the addition of damage everywhere, Jax has always been this diver-fighter-really-tanky, but now he just deals as much damage as an assassin by building mostly tank

item 3078 item 3748 as the only offensive items he buys (which give health) give him too much damage (also added to conqueror don't forget). They just need to FINALLY tone down damage across the boards

This.

It is not Jax's fault for being Jax, he was always like this, this current influence of damage can turn nearly every bruiser into a heavy damage dealer.

I can assure you, if i with Rek'sai knock up an ADC after building Steraks and Titanics, he will die just as fast as he would have from Jax with Titanics and Trinity.

Because Riot has no idea what they're doing and they don't play the game.

Watching him getting quadras by smashing his face on the keyboard on every league highlight video is even worse

watchout guys, the 31% win rate silver player who predominantly plays ARAM is going to tell us why Jax is garbage.

Does it really matter who says it so long as it's true? Jax is a one-man army with little to no counter play.

Usually if people want to start a point, i would expect them to be civil and smart, but if you resort to elo shaming, well i can reverse it back to you.

So, how come a silver pleb like me who likes to play Rek'sai, and occasionally other stuff he isn't familiar with, has less problems playing against Jax than someone who reached Gold and Platinum two times by now? Shouldn't you have more game experience than me?

I can´t judge if his stats are to high or not, but as a support main I would rather face jax than many other champs. Ofc he has the potential to roflstomp an entire team by being dps and tank at the same time, but his kit is so straightforward ( cd´s, engages and effective range ) that he feels a lot more manageable than something like irelia.

but that´s just me

Yeah I think is Ultimate needs a change so he can't be so tanky while building damage.

Learn what "scaling into late game" is, it could really help your perception on league

It's just the meta he's in. He naturally counters a lot of AA champs, lo and behold many of the broken champs right now are AA-based. Also, conqueror makes his early game stronger than it should be. It's actually NOT jax himself that's the problem.

It's all about the items we have to buy...

Melee carries are hard to kill late game and also deal a lot of damage.
