Question(s) on jax
I have just started playing him top. I really like him so far. Currently I am Gold 3 and looking to add him to my ranked play. My questions or thoughts are on builds. I notice most the guides I read insist on BoTRK and Tri-Force. It makes sense and I started doing thtat but I found myself even with a lead and having those two items mid game I was still to squish. I began building Tri Force every game then straight tank and have had more consistent results. I suppose I have more of a team fight mindset then a split push mindset but he seems to be able to do plenty of damage with just a triforce and be tough as hell to kill with all tank items. Split pushing seems to be more difficult to pull off in solo que unless your so far ahead your team believes you will carry them. If not hey will not play (in my exp, at my elo) in a way that allows you to split push as they will 4v5 etc. So I was wondering what anyone exp with jax thought about triforce plus all tank on jax
in that case, for the regen, plus the fact health is really great on jax, since you got resists from his ult.
You can always take 
later in the game, it's true that rushing it after triforce leaves you very squishy come midgame.
