I never see Jax build hybrid anymore

Here's the concern:

Mid-late game, Jax is a CC magnet. If you don't build something to deal with that, you're just going to eat stuns and get your face melted.

Thus: (alternatively, )

Most of that CC comes in the form of magic damage - and on top of that, it's usually the magic burst that does you in once you're CC'd. So if you don't have something to deal with that, you're going to get melted.

Thus:

Your goal is to dive into the carries and tear them up, so you need some burst.

Thus:

But even with Trin, Jax doesn't always have enough burst to 100-0 them. So you're going to want some extra protection.

Thus:

You're also going to want some extra sustained damage - something that helps against tanks (since you're likely to be dueling with them) and helps get his passive ramped is optimal.

Thus:

I will say that I like Guinsoo's on him, and I've seen a number of alternatives for that last item ( , , , , to list a few). But overall, if you aren't addressing the core issues above with something, you're going to run into a lot of problems.

If you actually think that's a good Jax build, then congrats you're a great representative of all the "sTuk 1n el0 h311" Jax mains out there in bronze.

Are you on drugs? If you're going to play a glass cannon melee carry stick to Yi. Jax doesn't fit the bill.

Unless your ultimate is active, you're a glass cannon with that build. Even with your ultimate on, you have practically no health. A glass cannon with no penetration whatsoever.

Also, good luck farming up that build.

I'd love for hybrid builds to work, but... Gunblade is ridiculously expensive, and Guinsoo's is awkward to build + generally never worth building. Too much of its power is locked up in its low-health buff, and flat attack speed tends to win out over Guinsoo stacks.
