So this is definitely a bit different than the standard Jax build, curious to hear what you guys think.

Standard progression of Dusk and Dawn into Kraken Slayer into Death's Dance.

The on hit boost from dusk has synergy with your ult passive as well as kraken, while also being hybrid damage at 2 items which can be hard to defend against.

I have found this to increase the tempo of the game, with some high snowball potential.

So i understand That Jax likes AD and HP items, as it makes his R resistances higher and more effective. AD also scales with his passive atkspd.
He also likes AH, as he gets more gapclosers, Stuns and damage.
So his best amplifier items is probably steraks, as the shield synergyses with his R Resistances and all the HP items he builds.
Almost no need for Resistance items.

Ap Builds are only semi good on him apparently, has the amplifier Rabadon leaves him very squishy.

What i almost never see on Jax are sustain items like Omni Boots, BT, or Riftmaker. He also does not go conquerer anymore, as he now prefers LT. Or do you go Grasp and Sunderer and that is enough=?

Why is that? He is high damage and tanky with no inbuild sustain tool, Does not need tank boots desperatly, so why not omni boots?
Also, as a melee he profits 100% from Riftmaker passives, builds a lot of HP for its other passive, uses the AP good, it has AH, and feeds into his steraks, yet no one builds it.

Also, what do you Build when you need Penetration? Terminus, no`?

Picked Jax up recently and he's a ton of fun. I love his personality and voice lines, and was wondering where he really stands in the lore. He seems like he'd be strong from his interactions, but I don't know to what extent.

I want to switch to toplane and think about champion pool.
I am low gold btw.

I want to main Jax as a splitpusher and duelist, to shit on all the filthy yasuos, yones and Master Yis of low elo.

Jax is bad into Tanks and Juggernauts, so second Champion will be Mordekaiser, as he counters both and is pretty strong this patch. This could also be Gwen, as i also like her, she plays similar to jax and is very good into tanks.

Jax and Morde are weak against beeing kited (right?) so i thought about Gragas as the Third pick, as a counter to Teemo, Quinn, kennen, vayne, Aurora. This could also be Malphite.

Do you think this is balanaced or do i have a flaw in my plan here`?

Welcome to the twenty fifth Jax Matchup Discussion!

Let's talk about Jax versus Nasus...

Remember that the idea of this discussion is to find what's the commonly-used way to play a matchup; not only focused on runes and/or items, but mostly on the trade patterns and general difficulty of the matchup, since items and runes may change between seasons, yet -unless a rework happens- a champion's kit doesn't change.

So, you can talk about the runes and items you like to go on a matchup, but what we really want to see is how to play the matchup; if you can play aggressive early game, if you win pre or post level 6, if you should use Leap Strike to engage or disengage, and so on.

If you want, you can give the matchup a difficulty score from 0 to 10 (0 being super easy, 5 being a skill matchup, and 10 being a "you should dodge" card)

Remember to join the Discord Server.

What’s the better item? Let’s assume your team is balanced AD and AP and so is the enemy team, so you’re not forced to go with one or the other.

In jungle btw

i've done a fair few games and when ahead i've been able to carry but the few times i just completely blew my lane idk i just couldn't get back in it, would like sum tips

I'm a jungle main, but I've decided to seriously invest in my secondary role, top lane. I rarely get autofilled, but I climbed from Gold to Emerald in about a week, so I know that whenever I do get top, I'll usually be facing players who actually know the role

I enjoy champions that want to fight constantly and have strong skirmishing potential. I've tried maining champions like Pantheon, Sett, and Zaahen, but none of them really clicked for me. In the current meta, I feel like they struggle too much into ranged champions, and even when I win lane, I often feel like I don't have enough impact if the rest of my team is losing

I decided to give Jax a try. I played 2 ranked games with literally zero prior experience on the champion and hard won both lanes against Tahm Kench and Garen (I don't know if those are supposed to be favorable matchups, but they felt surprisingly easy)

What immediately stood out to me is how powerful Jax feels. He seems to have answers into almost every type of champion. Ranged champions don't feel nearly as oppressive because of Leap Strike and Counter Strike, and if you get even a small lead, he absolutely demolishes towers. Getting one kill and taking half a turret in a few seconds is incredibly satisfying. No other top laner has given me that feeling

So I wanted to ask some experienced Jax players a few questions:

• What's Jax's overall game plan during the early, mid, and late game?
• What are your main win conditions in lane?
• Against what champs should I be looking to trade, all in, freeze, or just scale?
• When do you take Grasp vs Lethal Tempo?
• Are there any matchup specific tips that every new Jax player should know?
• Is there an up-to-date matchup tier list or spreadsheet that the community recommends?
• Finally, what separates an average Jax player from a great one who can actually win games and carry as a top laner? What habits or concepts should I start learning early?

Hey yall, I got autofilled support from jg, enemy bot was leona and cait, I find that at least low elo, gold/plat it seems to be a great counter to leona sup, leona goes into my adc, i jump onto cait and delete half her health bar, forcing her to gtfo. Was wondering if anyones tried jax sup as well, because it seems funny and pretty fun.

I main Jax and I'm having good results with him in various matchups. As my second pick, I play Fiora when Jax is banned or picked by someone else, but the problem is that she has a very similar playstyle to Jax. In your opinion, what would be a good second pick that complements Jax by covering his weaknesses and worst matchups?

Hey guys I know the popular ad build is trin into stride/sundered, into zhonya's and then defensive. Is there a kind of cookie cutter ap build with dnd that people go? and also if you go dnd are you forced to go kind of full ap or is building items like botrk/sundered sky still viable with it?

I know this matchup is agony for a lot of people, but as Rank 1 Garen Palco said to Coach Chippys, it can be actually Jax favored if played correctly, so I decided to investigate it and learn, here I share what I learned after applying it in 5 games (low master elo)

Piselloni so che è un'agonia questo matchup, spero veramente con questo video devasterete i prossimi Garen che beccate in landa
Come ha detto il rank 1 Garen, Palco, in un video in cui parla a Coach Chippys, questo matchup può essere addirittura favorevole per Jax se giocato bene, quindi mi sono informato, l'ho applicato sulle mie partite, e condivido qua il tutto, se avete qualsiasi domanda ovviamente sono felice di rispondere
