Which is better for bronze, Jax jg or top

I've been playing Jax jg laty and I've been stomping. Last game I was 27/8 and the game before that was 29/15 because the enemy you and I were on an equal level and sometimes I beat him 1v1 and sometimes he beats me. Also in my last game because of how fast I got fed, I decided to do something stupid off the beaten path for fun and I went triforce guinsoos and solo'd baron nashor. The game before those 2 was nothing super crazy. I so played a few others and some I steamrolled and others I just did good. Anyways I've been doing good as Jax jg. I haven't really tried him top though.being a late game hypercarry, he doesn't do well in lane. He needs to stay back and farm and only go in on ganks or if they overextend when he has his powespikes. If you just go crazy, you just become hashtilt/super toplaner/ hashinshin. You don't want that because you'll just get stomped and blame your jg and make a mockery of yourself. He elo boosted out of plat XD and he was really d5 skill level in s5. Anyways he scales a little harder as a top laner. So which is better for lower elo. Being weak early but unstoppable late or stronger early but not as unstoppable as if you were top late game.

Id say top, because a fed splitpush jax is nigh unstoppable.

Jax doesn't do that bad in toplane especially in bronze. People don't know how to kite him while he uses E so he's actually rather strong.

Unless you go like full scaling (armor/lvl mr/lvl runes) and start cull, your early game is good, you can trade.

Being in the jungle gives you more map control. Controlling the map means you can control the game, so Jax jungle is a little better in my opinion.

hashin is acutly really really really good , he hasnt been in high elo for nothing , and he solo carry alot of games , anyway,jax top is not bad acutly but u need to master the mechanics of jax in order to do well like u need to chees ur enemy lvl 1 with ur e and u need to go in with fully stacked passive and once u hit lvl 6 u need to use the ult by hitting the minoins twice and procing te ult no the enemy the prob with jax top is that u need alot of practice to win some matchups like jayce or panth u acutly cant do anything to them since u dont have sustain but i think other then that u can outplayy with jax so much

jungle,more then half of all games are lost by a shitty bot lane, just camp bot early game then split push late game

I played the absolute crap outta jax JG for a large part of this season, ~58% winrate and in low elo its great. Imo its better than jax top b/c you dont have to deal as much w/ jax's weakness pre-6, and you don't have to deal with lane bullies like Pantheon Renekton and other toplane matchups which can be very tough for jax early.

B/c of jax attack speed from passive and his E he can clear the jg quite well and stay fairly healthy, and even pre 6 (lvl 3+) he can usually 1v1 a lot of the usual jg picks in a fight over scuttle etc. Also jax's kit allows him to comfortably build tanky after 1-2 damage items and still do very respectable damage while being hard to kill without focus fire.

Also a big reason to pick JG in low elo is the agency you have, toplane a lot of the time is an island (especially in low elo, enemy toplaners will just stay top the entire game and force you to be there or they'll push to your inhib), but as jungler you choose which lanes you want to try and snowball, or you can invade intelligently (when/where your lanes are pushed up) and make the enemy jg's life hell.

Jax is very versatile in the jg, he can lane gank effectively as early as level 3 w/ E>q>E to stun the enemy laner, or he can powerfarm to 6 and easily solo the 1st dragon w/ item 3706 item 1043.

Sadly you'll still have some of those games where all your lanes just shit the bed, sadly these are probably losses no matter where you playedbut these games happen to all of us.

hope this helped.
