S tiers and the Jax problem

I get that some champions are so hard they’ll always be S tier like Ezreal bot Thresh sup Orianna/Yasuo Mid Leee Sin Jg But why has riot made the S tier toplaner jax. Aside from being the only one with no skillshots, and no complex combos, he’s also the one that needs no active items in fact he can’t really even build one besides in the gunblade meta (hard to use right?). He just gets to built The absurdly expensive trinity force and out-trade everyone, and being impossible to 1v1 mid-lategame. Meanwhile the skill-demanding toplaner gnar is setting at 47/50 for winrates at toplane.

My personal opinion is that not every good champion should require a complicated and hard to use skill set.

Thats flat out wrong, but irrelevant to your point, so ill ignore it.

Yeah, jax is kinda broken. His early game can't be punished enough to justify his power spike mid/late game. And god forbids he gets fed off one person, the whole team will suffer for it.
