Patch 4.11 notes

I really think forcing a Jax to use his E is a good part of counter play to him, mana gating in the laning phase as a jax main is something I am ok with. (low level E mana cost is down by upto 20 mana, which as you only put one point into it a lot of the time, is -20 mana for a decent part of the game)

I do think he's a bit weak though, Can't you increase his HP/lvl slightly so he actually gets tanky lategame? His laning phase is always meant to be rough, with lategame payoff. Why his base HP, hp/lvl AND armour per level were all nerfed in patch 4.11 I don't know, but it was super shitty.

BASE HEALTH 561 ⇒ 535 HEALTH PER LEVEL +98 ⇒ +85 ARMOR PER LEVEL +3.5 ⇒ +3.0

This is 260 HP at level 18, and 9 armour. 26 HP at level 1 is huge too.

Couldn't you buff HP/lvl back a little bit, so at level 18 he is a menace again? (not as much of a menance, though. I agree.) This would also scale with his MR armour on ult.... when its down... COUNTERPLAY

TL;DR Can't jax keep his weak lane strong late identity a bit more?

I don't know if its different in your elo or whatever, but where I'm at Jax is a pretty dominant laner.

I play in diamond on EUW, he isn't there. Not weak, but certainly not anywhere near dominant.

It's kind of my point though, reducing mana cost WILL make him a better laner. I'd rather he was better later with a weak lane.

That is my entire point.

He is an average laner to me. Nothing to fear. His late game is insane though.

Do you want to see him permabanned again or what?

I never said return all his stats. I said some.

I dont think going from 85 hp/lvl > 87 hp/lvl would make him perma ban, somehow.
