Jax 5% pick rate, 46% win rate

Base stats nerfs in 4.11 which he never recovered from. He was useless through the rest of Season 4 and all of Season 5. During that time Riot gave him several buffs which didn't change the fact that he lost lane to every single champ in the game from that point on. At the start of Season 6 Riot reworks Rageblade into a PERFECT item for Jax. Literally everything it offered was perfect for Jax: THe attack speed, the AP, the AD, the magic damage on hit, the waveclear...it helped him reach his powerspike extremely early and he was able to deal with tanks due to the magic damage. At the same Sated Devourer also made Jungle Jax borderline broken since his damage was insane at full stacks but he still had the same weaknesses and alot of counterplay, especially lane Jax. Riot however decided to nerf Jax' passive and then remove Devourer and turn Rageblade into shit for melees. Now Jax has 0 decent items to rush because Triforce got changed and Bork got nerfed hard in the preseason. Basically a trollpick right now but the upcoming changes to his passive and Triforce should atleast make him playable again I hope.

they nerfed his early game to hard but his late game is god like and riots logic is "ITS JUSTIFIED JUST LOOK AT THAT LATE GAME!" so its kind of like the old poppy it would of been much more valid to nerf his late game a tiny bit so he doesnt q auto w (r proc) bork = dead adc. like maybe make the w hurt for less but reduce its cooldown/ mana cost so it becomes a more consistant damage source? or nerf his r damage but make it every 2 autos? something like that rather then going "your early is fucked by default have fun making it to late game"

They nerfed guinsoos and everyone still tries to force it into his build, when they shouldn't.

meta change and nerfs

next patch he's going to be godlike with trinity attspd buffs and jax buffs

jax depends on the state of his items, whenever jax's item are bad, jax is bad.

They kind of nerfed his passive a little on Patch 6.3, but I don't think it hurt alot. But what really hit him hard was the nerf to , , and .

Guinsoo's and Devourer happened, after those items were reworked and changed respectively, Jax fell out along with Xin and Yi (even though we do still see them.) That build was so disgusting and awful to play against, I'm totally fine with not seeing one of those 3 in the jungle every single game.

Jax gets destroyed by any AOE mage with CC lategame... He is good only vs other bruisers and decent vs ranged ADCs, because he can evade some dmg, before he jumps on them. Also supports counter him. I still remember the old Jax going 1v5 and killing everyone some seasons ago. If someday we see bruiser meta with 3-4 fighters per team, Jax would be OP again, because you can't fight him in helicopter mode. Irelia is the better Jax, because she gets CC reduction and can teamfight, even if she falls off after lvl 11-13... Her stun is OP in this game, because RITO basically got removed most of the long duration stuns in the game.

Apperantly jax has a high skillcap when fighters are underpowered

Noob champs shouldn't have high winrates.
