Just a reminder: Jax E is 100% more valuable than 1000 armor

Jax, a fighter champion is allowed to be more tanky than juggernauts while also having 500 mobility because his counter strike exists. An ability that blocks all auto attacks in all directions and takes 25% dmg from AOE attacks is ridiculous. Oh if that is not enough, he gets to stun your team afterwards. Oh if that is not enough, he can just use counter strike again immediately because it basically has 0 cooldown anyway and SoS exists. Oh if that is not enough, he gets free armor and mr for building damage.

So basically you have a champion that is more tanky than Darius, Illaoi and Yorick, while also have a 0 cd jump that is getting buffed next patch, with a 2 second basic attack dodge and he only takes 25% damage from AOE attacks and an ultimate that gives extra armor and mr for building damage. Nice champion guys.

I’ve tried it. I built Trinity Force + Steraks on Jax and compared it to Darius, Illaoi and Yorick and Jax gets more HP than them. Jax has less armor than them but Jax E exists. Jax E is worth more than 1000 armor on Malphite. And Jax R also.

Only in League of Legends we have juggernauts that have mobility and 0 counterplay at a certain point. Good job guys. Instead of nerfing Jax, they will buff him. It’s not like he hasn’t been Tier 1 for like 5 years now.

Armor can block damage from abilities that deal physical damage as well as basic attacks, while Jax E is only immune to basic attacks.

Doesn’t his E also reduce damage from AoE’s?

Not that I disagree with you.

Guess where most damage comes from late game for a mobile champ? auto attacks. Jax easily gets the jump on mages and stun/burst/dps's them down anyways. Besides, most mage spells are aoe and jax receives 25% reduced damage from them when E is up, AND he has armor/mr on ult.

Why does it matter when there are 5+ better bruisers in toplane right now? More counter picks, good, you can't just otp your way to desired elo(you still can and always could, countrpicks dont matter unfortunately, yet).

Terrible argument, and no, there aren't "5+ better bruisers" in toplane. Renek, Tryn, riven, aatrox round out the other most oppressive bruisers (irelia, too, in good hands), and jax is by no means the least of them.

his E REDUCES aoe damage by 25%, not by 75%. That being said, yes jax is entirely broken and braindead af, and should be receiving nerfs, not buffs. Not sure why you are downvoted for otherwise speaking truth. Oh and jax isn't a juggernaut, he's just busted with high durability, insane burst, insane dps, insane mobility, and a good aoe stun.
