Why can Jax auto attack during E? + are you gonna nerf him, cos he is an obnoxious champion to face?

The animation makes no sense. He is spinning the weapon over his head but he can auto attack at the same time. Why is this a thing? It is called counter strike, it should only be used to block enemy auto attacks and then stun them afterwards with the extra damage.

Implement this change Riot: Whenever Jax uses E, he cannot auto attack but the stacks are PAUSED. If he wants more invulnerability to auto attacks he should, but he shouldn't be allowed to auto attack back unless he wants to end it earlier. This will give him a more healthy kit with counterplay, because right now he can mindlessly auto attack champions without the enemy champion being able to fight back due to being able to auto attack during E. You might say, use AOE but Jax E also takes 25% reduced damage from all AOE abilities.

But Riot will keep on buffing and buffing this guy over and over again.

7.22: Base attack damage increased to 70 from 61.97. Base armor increased to 36 from 27.04. Q - Base damage increased to 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 from 70 / 110 / 150 / 190 / 230. E - Base damage increased to 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 from 70 / 110 / 150 / 190 / 230.

7.12: E - NEW EFFECT: Now grants 50 bonus range.

6.11: Stacks fall-off changed to one at a time from all at once

6.3: Passive - Maximum stacks increased to 8 from 6. Per-stack bonus attack speed reduced to 3.5 / 5 / 6.5 / 8 / 9.5 / 11% from 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 14%. Maximum bonus attack speed increased to 28 / 40 / 52 / 64 / 76 / 88% from 24 / 36 / 48 / 60 / 72 / 84%.

They keep buffing him even though he is a strong champion. He always has been a strong champion, since release date. What more do we need?

I never understood this, and at this point i think is just because hes old. Fiora cant auto during her parry, Camille cant auto during her kick, Darius cant auto during his q. While Camille and Darius have the freedom of movement during their skill animations Fiora is locked in place but her skill is closer to jax being a dual Offensive/Defensive skill on a auto attack reliant dps champion but none of them can continue to dps while winding up their skills unlike jax. I think if he autos during counter strike the skill should end (because while most cases its just used for the stun the skill has allot of things stacked onto it)and it should stun things around him like normal.

But jax is pretty low on the list of things we should be complaining about in 2018 so hes probs going to just continue to receive direct/indirect buffs until someone makes another post about why damage is so high and using him as an example in a few months.

Yeah randomly remove his mechanic after 7 years, great idea !! Also didn't anyone tell you that bruisers are total worthless trash now, which includes Jax. No offense but this post screams low elo, I have never seen anyone complain about Jax since season 3-4.

I really don't think jax is that much of an issue. He is limited to one mobility spell that is INCREDIBLY predictable in most cases and counterstrike is the only trading tool he has. Meaning if you cna learn to play around counterstrike then you can learn to paly around jax. Jax tends to lose very fucking hard when his counterstrike isn't available to him.

Logic =!= Gameplay.

Like it or not, he is a damage dealer. He should be doing damage, and locking him out of his only damage source (auto attacks) when dueling would leave him useless. The 7.22 changes were due to the new runes, the other two changes are laughable bad. Bonus attack speed scales with base attack speed, and only that, so it was a qol change at best.

And hell no, Jax is by no means a "strong" champion. He is decent, not opressive. Every meta tank shits on him, every ranged champion kites him to oblivion, every other bruiser is a skill matchup.

ESSENCE REAVER BREAKS HIM. He can just Ult activate his Counterstrike and sit inside it so often. He is op. Hes a fking Yi counter and Yi is broken asf. Anyone who counters Yi is even more broken

Are you trolling?

His kit is just outdated. It can still function good or ok in the meta (like Wukong) but it's still could use updates.

And for people saying he's a bruiser, he isn't.

Jax is actually lowkey good with Klepto, no one in NA has really picked up on it yet.

You even included the 7.22 patch...

Is this a bait? The only significant buff was adding 50 range to his W auto (not E) 7 months ago.
