Jax needs to be nerfed

He's been broken for a long time, and I've kept my mouth shut about it for far too long (because honestly we've had bigger things to worry about). But still, you can't possibly tell me Jax is a healthy champion. You can have your entire team collapse on him and he still gets out, because counter strike makes him pretty much invincible when it's up. And then he gets an aoe stun after it ends, because why the hell not? Combine this with his ult and he's even more unkillable. Most other top laners will die if you collapse on them (Gnar, Irelia, Darius, Rumble, etc), but for some reason Jax has a get out of jail free card every time this is up. Combined with the burst from his other abilities, Jax is simply too safe and reliable in his current state.

yeah okay buddy. i main jax and. i dont even play him because of how bad he is early game. i can't get over it. playing against jax is literally one of the easiest things in this game.in small windows of time hes no where near as sticky as trundle yi irelia or xin zhao because of no slow. sure gapcloser and short stun but for a melee champion i appreciate a slow a lot more than a stun. i'd give away jax stun for a 1.5 second slow. that'd be fantastic. what is more fun than trundle and fiora perma slowing you and chasing you down? jax right.

and again hes bad early game. i couldn't care less if they nerfed him because i think hes awful and i don't really play him anyway hes a good counterpick to few champions but hes as shitty as rengar in team fights no matter how fed he is. he dies before he lands from his hop

he can't build that tanky because his base damages are kassadin like. the only thing going for jax in the damage department is his ult passive. the test scales with ap that he doesn't build for the most part and his passive got nerfed a while ago and its too weak early game. all of his power is late game in both his regular and ult passives.

I really dont remember which season he wasnt op. I play since beta, and EVERY, EVERY SEASON since his releasement he was OP. But now it is not even 10% of his OPPNES when dodges were ingame.

He's been UP pretty much all season, it's only since the changes to his passive that he's seen any success.

He's sitting around 50% both in top and jungle in high elo play (plat+), while being a fairly easy to play and master champ. He's good enough to get picked in LCS, but we've hardly seen anything spectacular from him so far.

I'd say that's about as balanced as he's going to get, deal with it.

Yes, he's oppressive. If riot decides that the kit can't go then increase his cooldowns by a ton. He can just spam everything. Dx
