Change Jax's ultimate active from resists to %damage reduction

He's not a tank, you shouldn't be buying last whisper items to kill him but those items fuck him over so hard because of his ultimate active's resist steroid and his pathetically low base armor. His is 78 at level 18. Jinx, has 82

You wouldn't buy last whisper to kill fiora or yasuo, Jax is similar so why does he get screwed so hard by items meant to kill pure tanks

Make it comparable Ddamage reduction to the resists he gets now obviously

He's doing poorly now anyways

Annie Annie's E ability does a better job than Jax Ultimate.

People hate how hashinshin acts ingame so they just assume he's retarded whenever he talks about balance.

They did a similar change with The Urgod's ult. Instead of giving flat resistances, he gets a % damage reduction. If they did to do it, it should be a simple change for Riot.

So you want him to have zero counterplay. Brilliant idea. Lets make his E a toggle that works for spells too.

I feel like that might make him to hard to kill general tho, damage reduction scales well with defensive stats and a jax who builds half tank would be near unkillable in teamfights in that case

Besides he has his E to mitigate a ton of damage in teamfights anyways he shouldnt need another absurdly powerful defensive mechanic

I wish his ult was a bit more like fioras personally where it gave his team a reason to help him dive the backline instead of just making it so he lives a couple seconds longer eating bavk line aggro y'know?

Or as a thought, jax is a champion who is 100% auto attack and targeted damage and scales super hard, hes very very stat checky and can 1v1 nearly everyone late game, thats his schtick, maybe his counterplay should be to group up and deny him his side lane 1v1, giving him dmg reduction would throw that out the window

His whole idea is to have really strong periods and weak ones: when his e and R are up he's supposed to be really powerful because without them he has really shitty base stats

But the way his ultimate works now makes it so a huge portion of his ultimate is useless due to itemization

You just make the dr scale with ad And ap and make the base lower so he can't stack tank stats

I would leave Jax as he is right now. Maybe buff the base armor a bit but not too much. Everyone who was there when Jax was FOTW knows how insanely strong he can be.

Max gets better with game length therefore it is unlikely that armor pen which is bought later in the game. He is a snowball you champion which gets wretched early game by pretty much anyone. I think small buffs to earlier game would help more, but if even slightly over buffed would be oppressive like earlier in the season.
