If Jax was to use his skill, strength and power to the fullest extent in modern Runeterra...

How strong do you think he would actually be.

We don't know if he is a magic user (his abilities suggest so, but that is unreliable) and we know he was cutting down Shuriman solders by the dozen during "Where Icathia Once Stood" and he was large enough to take the head off of an Ascended. AND that was 3500+ years ago, so he has had multiple millennia of experience and who know what experiences or alterations he's had in this time that has made him stronger.

I believe Jax is probably the strongest "mortal" type champion. And could probably take on some of the "divine/immortal" champions.

I would love to hear how he would compare to a Noxian/Demacian/Ionian/Freljordian militant force

The thing about Where Icathia Once Stood is that it's the last thoughts of a first time soldier who's going insane from the void, he's not very reliable and he's probably overblowing Jax by quite a bit. We actually don't know much about Jax besides he's big, good with basically every weapon, he's very old, kinda fuggly/possibly not even human at this point, and he likes eggs.

First of all, thanks for not mentioning Jax's old lore at all. I hate when people do that.

Yeah, I don't think your claim is too difficult to swallow. I can imagine Jax being outclassed in a couple areas, but in a fight with another "mortal type," he'd more than make up for it with his experience. He'd probably lose to Darkin and Ascended, and probably Pantheon too, but he might be a match for the other Targonians.

I wonder if None Shall Pass is still technically canon. It's still on the site, but with Jax's skills shown in Where Icathia Once Stood, I somehow doubt that Fiora would be that much of a match for him. Then again, we technically don't know if Saijax is Jax. Like, we don't know. But he probably is.

Against morts with no magic yes he would win except maybe for Master Yi. Against mages and especially top tier ones he would lose.

I believe Jax is probably the strongest "mortal" type champion.

By the power of half fortresses, I disagree. Syndra disagrees too. If Jax uses his powers to their full extent, so must his opponent. And in a fight (direct fight, not an ambush or assassination attempt) I'm pretty sure there's no way he can win against a full power Syndra :x

It's not confirmed that all the champions live at the same time, so Jax might be dead since I see no way him living 3500 years
