For the glory of Lamposts, of course. ~ Jax 2015

Please tell me I am not the only one that thinks that Jax 's ult is incredibly weak. He has a really good kit, good passive, everything. And then you enter a fight and just hit R with the hopes that it mayyyyyy just give you better survivability.....which it doesn't. It has no damage, and the armor/MR increase is meh....which isn't great for a fighter like him. I mean, look at Darius . Unless you just afk your lane, he is going to wipe his axe with your face all game. Someone please, PLEASE help me get the idea of a Jax re-work/buff through to Riot.

You realize Jax's ult has an awesome passive on top or an OK active right?

The passive is amazing, Ill give you that. But isn't the whole purpose of an ultimate to give you a drastic upper hand for a short duration? I mean look at: Aatrox Akali Cassiopeia Darius Ekko Chogath LeeSin Olaf Nasus Rumble Yasuo Zed Amumu ....just to mention a few. They got ults that can throw a game all the way in the other direction. And Jax has a little extra damage every third or so hit.

I mean, I could pick any of the others mentioned and run an enemy Jax into the ground.

Hahaha...okay, you could go guinsoo's or gunblade and sheen to buff that hit. But go on, tell me you can't counter him with pretty much every other champion I mentioned. :D

Ults are situational and based around a champions kit. You wont be laughing after you blow your Chogath Amumu Darius ult and then jax jumps on your face and lifesteals his way back to full while you learn what a lamp post look like from the inside

Man, most of his dmg comes from the third proc, it's not a little dmg. It even scales with 70 % of your AP... Also you have pretty high AS from your other passive.

Unless you build him assassin, that scale wouldn't matter as much. As a fighter his passives aren't great seeing as he's as AA reliant as XinZhao . If you can get enough CC and binds down on him before he can initiate, he can blow up early game_ before_ he can even attempt to life steal his way back to full.

jax splitpushes whole game, watch any lcs where he is picked, going into teamfights, if you are not tanky is risky for any champion, not only for Jax. Also CC counters any champion. Jax is balanced now. He is even on the strong side for how easy is to learn to play him well.
