Anyone tell me what jax is better at than tryndamere? I played alot of jax because he looks cool and I got that god staff skin as a gift but now after watchin this Jay Sea video with him complaining about the champ vs trynd I'm thinkin about it an he might just be the meme version of trynd. I'm guessing its his team fighting that is suppose to be better.
Asking experienced top laners.
Jax can do all of Tryndamere's shit, plus be tanky. Only thing Tryn can do that Jax can't is not die for 6 seconds and heal.
I have two permabanned accounts, both of which have Trynd at mastery 7. Needless to say, I'm biased towards Tryndamere. If you're talking top lane, the matchup is all about timing. A jax can easily beat a trynd in laning phase pre-lvl6, and even after 6 its a simple matter of forcing a trynd ult then running away. In Jax's defense, Trynd has more escape potential, as his E can go through walls. But honestly, its never a one sided match up, never have I gone one and saw the other and said, "This will be easy". Now after one of them gets ahead its over for whoever is behind that's for sure.
you cant build againt jax, hes all mixed dmg, his builds are much more versitile, hes waaaaay more tanky and one of if not the best hypercarry late game, because of sheen procs and w resets hes actually much better at pushing than trynda along with his passive and 
hes a big trynda counter on top of all that and has much more sustain late game as he usually has a bit of life steal and a lot more natural tank stats. basically the only reason he can even get close to outclassed by trynda rn is because of the true dmg heavy meta
IMO Jax is just the best, solid top. He wins over tryna since tryn will have to auto, but Jax can’t win in a long run since after his e runs out is hello grave, since more then likely tryn will ulti and grand slam Jax.
I´d say Jax has a easier time in general, thanks to his E blocking autos and reducing AOE damage along with his ulti for resistances.
It lets him participate in teamfights and be relevant, that added with the fact that he has some of the best scalings and stacking stuff in the game he does well all around.
Tryndamere has a terrible time if he gets CCed and takes a lot of damage right from the start, with his ulti blown he can only run away, to compare with jax who could soak a number of hits without being forced out.
As for 1v1.......honestly in lane jax probably wins for a while as long as he plays his cards right, trynd doesnt have any way to get around the E easily.
Post 6 its a closer call, but it shouldnt be impossible for a high damage build jax to force trynd to ulti quickly and then protect himself with E.
Of course such a build is probably less effective in truly organized teamfights, but if Tryndamere is having a field day splitting and your team cant get enough done in the meanwhile then it might just be worth to go shut the trynd down.
So in conclusion,,.,,,,,jax wins lane almost certainly but if Trynd manages to stall out and scale up safely then its much more even and difficult.
But they are both lategame monsters so its a battle of wits in the end, you simply have to play around his R properly.
After all, if the trynd goes full glass cannon to deal as much damage as possible to make him difficult in a 1v1 then you can easily do the same.....heck you might not even need a full glass cannon even if he does it.
The point of the post wasn't about a matchup between the two champ, but why would u choose to play one champ over the other. Lots of people are responding about how to beat trynd as jax, and that isn't what I was getting at. It was why would u choose jax over trynd, when trynd seems to be performing the same role, but better. Except the teamfights, jax is a better teamfighter I know.
Jax has hard AOE CC. Trynd does not. Also trynd is mostly physical while Jax is hybrid. Jax can still be useful by building bruiser while Trynd that didnt go full glass cannon can just fuck off and afk.
We have many overlapping champions in league but each of them has something kinda different about them which would make them a better or worse pick for different team compositions.
Cant say thats its just to compare them. Its like comparing Teemo and Kayle. Both of them AA reliant AP/hybrid champions with MS steroids and point and click nuke but damn they cant be more different.
He has a bigger viable rune and item pool than Tryn - that's the biggest difference - and has a much faster leap on a shorter cooldown as well as hard CC. I'm not about to say that Jax out-dps's Tryn but the wallop he packs is hybrid damage as well.
Also his best items didn't get a cost increase recently whereas Tryn's did (Zeal items, IE). But Tryn's gotten some buffs so.
Jax's counterattack and resistance gain from his R are actually very comparable to Tryn's heal, W and ult, as they can both potentially ignore a lot of incoming damage. What makes them different is how they're best used. Jax is a much better skirmisher but Tryn will always have a better all-in in teamfights - if Tryn gets too close you either CC him or die.
jax passive = every attack makes his attaks faster lol
tryn passive = every time u right click ur attak MIGHT BE stronger den normal lol
jax e = cant die for 3 secs but he also every hit he gets is inflicted on enemy\
tryn ult = cant die for 3 secs
(it says 5 but rlly its 3 i timed it trust)
so
jax has everything tryn can do
and more lol
Jax has aoe stun, hybrid damage, and more flexible item build. Arguably, Jax has better survival ability compared to Trynd's ult and heal. Counter strike with Jax's ult, make him extremely tanky, and, even better if he has 40% cdr with some decent attack speed and 
.
Jax deals magic damage, question answered.
