AP Jax probably the most OP champion?

with AP item changes and the new Devourer AP Jax really strong in the jungle with his ult's passive massive magic damage + fast CD + CC

any comments?

Nothing more hilarious than onehitting the enemy ADC with W-Ult passive-Lich Bane. Combine with Hashtag Gunblade and Ludens for even moar burst and laugh at the enemy AP Carry tickling your HP because you have 300 MR.

Have you seen AP Jax during Urf? (probably not; you would be dead if you had)

while the damage really is high, he simply is a terribly squishy all-in melee ig built full ap. Uness the enemies are nearly pure magical damage so your ult keeps you tanky, you will explode just as fast as you pop them.

Ty for your comments. i agree that jax is pretty squishy but compare to other champions, like master yi, jax should be fine in term of survivability. His E can dodge most of the on-hit effect, which is really nice in 5.13, and high AP also mean that high MR when using his ult.

with the build like below, it gives balanced AD and AP, and Jax is very flexible to change his builds.

as the other person comments about E, jax reduces the damage of area of effect...and I assume this would include skillshots, but idk, the damage is reduced by 25% so that's a good portion of normal damage

including zhonya's, that comes to about 200 armor total from his ult, so with only zhonya's, he could build tanky ap bruiser and double proc a lot of effects with devourer

wonder if it works with his W? if it does, with 300 ap (which would not be that hard on a tanky build), he would do 660 additional magic damage from just the W alone and 120 from devourer

if it affects lich bane, that's another 400 damage

I don't know what other effects he would stack though, but I haven't used it either and "on hit effects" seems a very broad term

1-time effeckts like his W or sheen aren't affeckted by devourer. And haveing nice tankiness duering ult isn't the same as beeing tanky overall. It will probably work, but it's not OP...
