Can we talk about how bullshit Jax is?

https://lolalytics.com/ranked/worldwide/platinum/plus/champion/Jax/graphs/ Highest divisional win rate at 54%. Lowest divisional win rate at 52.4%. With great play rate that ranges from 15-20%.

Fucking bullshit. Especially when you see him jump at least 5 times within a single fucking fight, denies all AA and AoE stuns your entire team at least 3 times in the same fucking fight, and jumps on you and you die instantly because that's 3 AA + 3 spells (one of which stuns you) + multiple AA steroid items + 2 AA resets in a fraction of instant and worse when you think that he can repeat this fucking shit at least 3 to 4 times in the same fucking fight (not even some kinda refresh mechanism or something, he just does all of his shit at almost no CD even when he doesn't build CDR and gets even less when he does which is what he does every single match, because fuck you).

If you try to duel him, he laughs at you and stat-checks you to death within 2 seconds or less with his vastly superior stats, while dodging all of your AA, and while you're also fucking stunned. If you try to run away, he also laughs at you, because you can never out-run his endless leaps and stuns that has barely any CD after mid-game. If you bring friends, then he laughs at you all, because he will destroying all of you by chain-stunning your entire team and powering your team down one by one with his insane damage and non-stop leaps to make sure no one gets away.

Oh, what about just spell-stack him given that he is basically immune to AA? Well jokes on you, because spells aren't a consistent enough of a damage source to blow him down because you might have also noticed that he's very tanky especially with his ulti and spells certainly don't come spammy enough as AAs are.

Absolutely and mindblowingly stupid.

Tbh i feel he's too tanky and does too much damag. Something's got to go.

In all the years I've played I have never seen a single champion hard carry even half as many games as Jax.

I really don't feel there's anything inherently wrong with him, from a design stand point that is, It seems like he's just one of those champs who has the game change around him, and suddenly he's OP or weak.

I don't know, I feel like there's FAR more problematic champs that need tweeks before him, but he should be put on the watch list?

We bitching about jax now? The last good bruiser top laner left? Really guys?

As a Jax main, I'd say his early game is a tad too strong for how well he scales.

Garen Darius Heimerdinger Singed Smash him into the ground.

Its nice to see someone have 4500 hp and one shot your adc in 1 second :)

This game is fine

Its ok.

No problems here.

If you're playing top, you can play Singed Renekton Pantheon Malphite Jayce Garen All of them are very good at punishing Jax for what he does well.

If you're talking about jungle Jax, Malphite is a good counterpick there as well.

Jax isn't bullshit. Conqueror is. I thought we learned that so far with Yi, Tryndamere, Yasuo and Irelia smh...

Meanwhile Hashinshin thinks he's weak. I mean... there's no escaping him if you're an immobile champ. Try to root him? You stop moving and he closes the gap anyway. Not to mention once he gets rageblade and essence reaver he becomes impossible to fight. Maybe im biased since I play squishy enchanter supports, I don't know

Why don't you try playing the champion before complaining about them?

Post like this few years ago would have billions downvotes. it really funny and sad to see who this game changed.

not competitively viable

not even a top tier pick (literally not even a 30% banrate)

Jax is a monster with 2-3 items but shit in the early game, a lot of laners can destroy him in laneChogath Darius Aatrox Kennen Vladimir Malphite Garen, i would say he is balanced, u can make him 0/5 in lane with those champions if he doesnt get ganks, and just snowball from there and end the game before jax becomes a monster, and not only that, but a good team comp with kite and cc can shut him down even in late team fights, a good adc will demolish him in late, like kaisa, i would say he has more cons than pros and in high elo, at least in my elo, we easily shut him down, but im pretty sure in lower elo he is a monster at all times in the game.

One of the dumbest things too that a lot of people don't know, is that his dodge ability also works on AOE spells, reducing them to 75% damage instead of dodging them, but still quite a huge damage reduction on using the abilities that should be circumventing his AA dodge. But nope, you still get shafted for using those as a quarter of that damage is gone.

I mean even if that wasn't there, as a mage you still wouldn't get close to being able to burst him, and he definitely will still kill you when he stuns you, but still. It's absolutely unnecessary
