Conqueror is not okay also and I can't wait for it's removal because it's apparently planned. But Jax by itself is toxic.

It's both, conqueror just makes it worse.

He needs a rework. Until there, those nerfs will probably do fine in most elos.

Jax doesn't need a rework, just a VU. His kit has it's uniqueness(being it's counterstrike) and he adds something to the game. He is also balancable as he wasn't really OP in previous seasons.

So unique dude.. the champion , like Tryndamere wich also deserve a rework, is legit point and click/right click. Yi could fall in the same category. They are easy, stat check and legit braindead to play, You could be Iron 4 and still play Jax to perfection because his kit is legit Noob friendly. Jax is boring to play as and boring and toxic to play against. This champ was never balanced in his whole existence. Check the number of change done to Jax and tell me this is a fair champion . Receive that much change in the league history prove the champion design is NOT HEALTHY.

Lol.

Do you even recognize the irony? When you play quinn? Like entirely point and click XD?

If he was boring to play he wouldnt always have a high pickrate even when he is legit trash.

And funnily enough his kit is so easy that a bad jax and a good jax is fuckin day and night difference but whatever i got used to the boards being flooded currently by silver specialists.

He hasn't been top tier or meta since basically season 4. He always flip flops between barely viable and kinda good.

Right now he also is just that, KINDA GOOD.

Most people especially in higher elos agree jax is meh. It's really just low elo and it's annoying that riot constantly caters to low elo complains.

Do fine ? It's basically negligible to the point that it won't change anything to Jax..

? You play quinn literally the most cancer laner in the game. Ur champ needs a rework far before jax does. Jax will be gone once cancer essence reaver is gone and conquerer is gone.

Hypocritical? Lol ... Quinn is fair and unlike your loser champion Jax, she fall off, she also require more timing and skill mindset than your noob champ. Jax player legit sit on trinity force and spam QW in repeat until you are low to get killed. You mind to try to riposte ? Too bad press E and completly ignore you. You finnaly do some damage ? Press R and get WAY TO MUCH resist for no reason, turning Bruiser Jax into Tank jax.. in a matter of a button. Everything on jax is point and click and right click. Don't start me with Quinn when she require way more talent to master and win game consistently than Jax..

I would gladly play Quinn adc but because of the damn ADC roster we have right now I can't. I'm not a fan of Quinn top but there is no other role for me to play her. Sorry. I complain about Jax in general, not specially top lane.

Eh, Quinn's laning phase is way easier, Jax has lots of bad matchups where he's useless, don't get me wrong, Jax isn't a mechanically difficult champion, but he's not braindead either against good players. It's funny to see a Quinn player call Jax cancer when you're playing one of the most annoying and hated lane bullies.

Quinn remain an adc. Squishy and easy to burst. Jax is not and outscale no matter what. If you say Quinn is the most hated lane bully, you never met viktor or kennen top lane yet. Also unlike other lane bully,if your team have no other engage or tank, if the games goes past 30 minute its over. She shine early and fall off late unlike other adc thanks to Riot great rework who legit killed what was unique on Quinn. If you hate Quinn now , you never saw murder bird who was insta gibbing you once she hit 6.. I also would play her Adc if I could but current meta adc don't allow me to do it.

It's your fault for playing a lane bully and then not putting your enemy laner far enough behind so that you could snowball and end the game before you fall off. Jax/Fiora/Trynd by design are meant to outscale the top lane roster in pure 1v1s. "She shines early and falls off" - That's what being a lane bully is like. The Viktor and Kennen argument doesn't make any sense here, it's a case of whataboutism.

Quinn is fair and unlike your loser champion Jax

https://i.imgur.com/0vRlouf.png[] Don't really think he's "my loser champion"

she also require more timing and skill mindset than your noob champ. Jax player legit sit on trinity force and spam QW in repeat until you are low to get killed. You mind to try to riposte ? Too bad press E and completly ignore you.

Quinn autos you to death in lane with the occasional q in there for good measure. You try to engage on her? She uses her vault and just runs you down since she used her vault to stop your gap closer as a melee champion.

I'm not even complaining about Quinn, you just complained about a champion who wins mainly off of autos and targeted spells, but Quinn fits that definition as well.

Dunk and Dine10 votes

Its funny cuz quinn brainlessly autowins lane vs all melees and is really unhealthy champ for the game

  • Insane Burst
  • Insane Sustain
  • Point-in-Click Jump.
  • Dodge and Stun Combo.
  • Ult is a Defensive steroid that scales with Damage.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah. Jax is a nasty motherfucker and a part of the overloaded kit problem despite his simple design from old days.

Don't worry they're nerfing his base MS by 5 next patch. He will be balanced after that.

" Legit do nothing but right click and target spell." - haha, by this logic all ranged dps should be nerfed to the ground, plus all older champions, especially tanks.

GayFluffyUnicorn1 votes

No ranged champions rightclicking you to death from range is totally different because range is a weakness in riots and half of the communities heads.

DarkmoonDiana2 votes

jax is just a late game champion that is getting hyperfunneled by the decrease of game time and the increase of damage. At least in my games, jax starting to one shot 25 minutes in is really common, even if hes like 3-7 or something crazy. I have not once played a game where the top priority was anything but a jax, regardless how underfed he is.

Idk, he feels like he suffers from kaisa syndrome where he is a "late game champion" with intense early game burst once he gets his 1 item powerspike. Just so much damage, especially since he benefits from having pretty much a 33% split in magic true damage and physical damage. You cant really build tanky against him at all, and if you don't have the means to get away from him after he hits e then you dont really get to play the game at all either.

Rito would answer smthing like this:

Is he broken? Yes. Ok, we wont look at him then

Mr Killalot1 votes

Jax may be a little overtuned ATM but is definitely not broken as a champ. In the years on this board I've never seen anyone complain about his kit until recently. By your logic, Xin, Udyr and Yi are broken too because they're right click melee champions with target spells. His kit is fine. It's ok to have simple kits in this game.

Not everyone wants to play an extremely high skill cap champion, and sometimes, there's more complexity in a simple kit than at first glance. For example, how many times have you seen a Jax use a ward hop mid teamfight to dodge a CC skillshot while putting himself in position to get the kill? How often have you seen a Jax bait someone into a good fight for him by letting himself get low then using his ult to turn the tide?

A lot of the simpler kits are like this, which I'm sure you're aware of being a Quinn player. Why no hate for Udyr? He's not much different than Jax and is even stronger right now. Maybe you're just salty because your normal right click trading patterns aren't the most effective against this melee champ who actually has the tools to deal with Quinn.

Don't worry guys Riot nerfed his base AD by 2. He's totally balanced now.

All riot needed to do was to remove entirely the defensive stats from his R.
