Better base stats? Check Better laning phase? Check Better mid game? Check Better in teamfights? Check Harder to kite? Check Better vs. ranged champions? Check

48% win rate vs 54% win rate says it all

AOE stun with a dodge? Passive that allows him to ramp up his attack speed? Vastly better late game? Does Irelia possess any of those strengths?

Irelia is pretty strong rn but Jax can outduel her still I believe. And he takes towers FAR FAR FAR faster. So better splitpushing. check.

Because Jax is the better jungler. If you want to play a similar style of play but can't play top lane Jax is your perfect choice.

And? I never said it wasn't. I only said it's better than Irelia jungle.

Because a real skilled player will play any champion even if those/that champion(s) are off-meta or nerfed?

Both champions need reworks so discussions like this don't have to happen, they need some distinction between the 2
