Jax is going to be a monster this patch

Verxint·Nov 10, 2015·32 votes·3,019 views

Fervor in battle: up to 80 bonus physical damage per auto Guinsoos: almost 50 magic damage on hit in an aoe with other items, gives Jax his 3 favorite stats Buffed gunblade, nuff said ADCs will be common and Jax is good vs ADCs lifesteal and spell vamp in masteries as well as new feast gives him more lane sustain, one of his main weaknesses

And to top all of this off - he's going to dodge damage and CC from on hits during his E?

I hope everyone is ready for lamposts.

Edit: I forgot to mention the corrupting potion.

Can Jax dodge Graves new Basic Attacks?

HabitzNov 10, 20152 votes

Of course

VerxintNov 10, 20159 votes

Yeah, he could do that before the E changes. Autos are autos.

paperbIadeNov 11, 20151 votes

hey fuck off jax was never played in the lcs since season 3 because of the base stats nerf.

VerxintNov 11, 201511 votes

I-What does this have to do with anything in the post?

I'm so confused by this.

Its not an on-hit though its an on-auto-attack but its AOE so its not on-hit

VerxintNov 11, 20155 votes

Jax's E blocks autos, it always has since his rework. Graves new autos are still autos, they work like autos.

AnomanderNov 11, 20151 votes

^ it is a auto attack just a cone.

ChaosThiefNov 10, 20154 votes

Gotta go on hit jungler devourer jax. Because who needs tankiness when you have all the on hits in the world?

VerxintNov 10, 20156 votes

Not to mention Gunblade will heal off devourer damage.

charcharmunroNov 11, 20154 votes

Clearly the build is Devourer, Gunblade, Rageblade, BoRK, Frozen Mallet and... Phantom Dancer? Maybe? That or the Triforce which is less useful on him but still good.

CatastropNov 11, 20153 votes

PD for sure, he'll need the damage reduction because I don't think the ult's resistances will cut it.

Need Gold 4 TentNov 11, 20153 votes

from building that much ad and ap, he is gonna get a hell lot of resistances on both ends. Though the hp to back it up... hmmm...

ChaosThiefNov 11, 20155 votes

NONONONO WRONG WRONG WRONG

item 3931 item 3153 item 3091 item 3124 item 3146 item 3115

BOOTS ARE FOR THE WEAK (replace nashors with static shiv probably. You won't need too much movement speed with two slowing actives.)

Jax Who wants a piece of the champ!?

TotalJerkNov 11, 20154 votes

People keep saying it but I'm not sure. Riot kept trying to buff him, and items he liked kept getting buffed, but still no one is playing him. I'm beginning to think there's more to why no one is picking him.

It's really just the matter of how largely impractical he tends to be. He WILL stomp faces once he gets his core items, but his core items are expensive and without them he's pretty mediocre at doing what he does (beating people to death quickly). Also he's kinda shit against Juggernauts.

My Waifu VanillaNov 11, 20154 votes

His core item on PBE is also 1200 gold cheaper. I dont even build tri on him anymore since Rage+Gunblade is all you need for damage and you get ALOT more of it (plus you become the split pushing god).

TotalJerkNov 11, 20151 votes

You got a point. The only champions that tend to get into the meta while being extremely gold dependent nowadays are ADCs.

VerxintNov 11, 20152 votes

I don't think the end of season teleportpocalypse was good for him. He wants to use TP to farm and everyone else is tping bot the moment one side pokes the other

DrProfVibeCheckNov 11, 20151 votes

Because he looks like an eggplant

AlëkNov 11, 20152 votes

I thought the on-hit effects were only rendered ineffective through blinds, not dodges. hmmmmmmm Teemo is gonna be strong too. He's gonna actually start HARD countering champs like jax etc. since it used to be a skill matchup most times.

VerxintNov 11, 20153 votes

Nevermind I'm dumb, blind is a spell. It just looks almost the same as his AA.

Done25Nov 11, 20152 votes

The Blind is a spell and can't be dodged.

My main shits on Jax so I hope this is true.

VerxintNov 11, 20152 votes

Who's your main?

SH AzykanNov 11, 20151 votes

based on his name, and who does well vs jax, my guess is Trundle being his main

Who's your main?

Singed. I finished 66% win rate this season with him. played Brand mostly this season though.

Season 5 52-27 (played mostly Brand) Season 4 28-22 (played mostly Xerath) Season 3 142-89 (first season playing)

If I played only Singed I'd probably be in Diamond or Challenger.

Jax is an easy match up.

To be honest the only match ups that will beat me (in order of difficulty) Warwick, Darius, Rumble, Kayle. They have to really know how to play that champ. Everyone else I can beat or go even.

I even won a legit 4v5 ranked match the other month: http://plays.tv/video/55f63983c64f4c6f7e/singed-top-lane-carry-4v5-victory-high-lights-boo-ya-leagueoflegends

Meanwhile yasou, tryndamere, caitlyn, vayne, and ashe will be frustrating to fight with all these free critical bonuses. They should bring back dodge if they want nothing but RNG.

My Waifu VanillaNov 11, 20152 votes

I've played Ashe on PBE and she is arguably the worst adc now with that Q change since it is actually impossible to use it effectively until you get a hurricane (which is like 3rd item).

ZT XperimentorNov 11, 20151 votes

Ah ok, I was expecting her volley crit-ing would be more troublesome.
