Jax mini rework suggestion to balance this champ

Dethflash·10/20/2018, 11:42:52 PM·6 votes·1,777 views

Some people might not know this but many years ago Sivir's passive was that she got 25% dodge chance whenever she was moving, Riot removed it because they felt it was to broken of a mechanic (just one of many examples were Riot is stupidly inconsistent), but Jax who has 100% dodge chance on his E isn't broken? I say just remove the dodge all together (Riot said it and i agree, dodge is one of the most broken things to ever exists in LoL) and make Jax E give him like 20/25/30/35/40% reduced damage from autos. BAM now Jax cant dodge Stun Gold card Silence passive root knock up to just name a few examples. It would still give Jax a stun, and reduced dmg from autos but it doesnt make literally dozens of champions abilities completely useless. While you are at it Riot make Jax a only AD champion, being able to do so much mix damage is stupid, unfun to play against, and near impossible to build tank items against. was broken for a while because he did insane amount of mix damage, Riot fixed it by simple making Corki damage like 80% magic dmg to it was actually possible to build against his damage, exact same problem exists with Jax but Riot has yet to do anything about it. Jax passive screams AUTO ATTACKS, yet Jax can build full AP and literally one shot any squishy (because balance right?). Jax doesnt need a full gameplay update, but he sure as hell needs a mini rework to address the issues with this brokenly overpowered champ. Edit: Jax ult could also use some visual indicators when he is actually using his ult.

If you have any constructive thoughts, or other suggestions to balancing Jax please leave a commit.

I'm just saying, but it's not inconsistent. For one, Dodge being a sole mechanic on an ability, is better than it being a stat you can get to buy/have constantly. Sivir having it constantly, is not comparable to Jax getting it during the 2-3(?) seconds he does, as it's obvious what's happening and constant, as opposed to Sivir (Which is random whether it works or not)

Removing it also just tremendously removes a lot of skill Expression Jax currently has, which isn't a lot. Holding onto your Dodge to beat a stun is just the same as a Fiora holding onto her Parry.

Also, make Conqueror only convert your dominant damage type to true damage. Dominant damage type meaning whatever type Camille would shield for if she attacked you.

(I know many people just want Conqueror removed, but we all know how likely that is, so I'll suggest this instead.)

COUGHwindwallCOUGH

Want a real ability that suits your argument better? Well windwall is there for you blocking EVER SINGLE PROJECTILE AND AA FOR A LANE WIDE AREA and NOT JUST FOR HIMSELF BUT EVERYONE IN/ AROUND IT.

Compare that to a jax ability that blocks aa based abilities for hiself only for a few sec. on a fair amount of cd compared to the bs that yas has and all the sudden it isn't that bad now is it?

Untill they remove the monstrosity that Yas has they better leave Jax alone.

(oh and that's also beside the PASSIVE damage and cc immunity he has)

Dodge was removed because it was too RNG. Jax having a 100% dodge on his E for a few seconds is not what makes him good right now and in fact nerfing that will just make him trash and antifun to play whilst ignoring the actual problem ( Same thing happened to Irelia )

Lmfaooooo That E change would GUT jax so hard. Also his ult has clear visual indications its a vibrating circle shield around him.

This post has so much salt it gave me high blood pressure.

Doesn't the CC on TF's gold card ignore miss/dodge chance?

edit: I would also keep Jax's ability to scale multiple ways and deal mixed damage. Jax has always been the champ, a fantastic semi-durable hypercarry that can build pretty much everything. Maybe nerf him by making his early game weaker? Counter strike disabling/inhibiting his autos whilst in effect or Jax's Q range scaling with level would be cool ways to nerf him when/if he is OP.
