well I may disagree with some things (like Rylais, which is terrible, and how Shen is a hard matchup since I find Shen winnable, and maxing E second, I know i'll get flak for this but I used to max E second 100% of the time, then I tried maxing Q second and I can't go back, the extra damage in lane is just huge) but this is still probs the best jax guide so i'll give it a +1 and scout it.

I'll have to try Maw instead of Atma's, don't like Maw a lot but there's only so many items you can build...

Great guide! As one Jax player to another I like what I see. I was wondering if you'd care to take a look at my guide: Jax the Grandmaster of Farm, and give me some pointers.

Also, I have a Master Yi build you can look at too: Wuju Pwnage with Master Yi.

Build:
To be very honest with you, I am WORST JAX PLAYER NA. I think. When I was lower level player I did play him, did ok with him. I do play him in the jungle sometimes. Itemize I do understand your choices. And I can't say for sure what works and what now. I see Jax as a hybrid, so building AP and AD with some tankyness always works great. Yes, I do see this build working great on him. Maybe I would buy wriggles first because I suck at top, and that gives me more sustain and such, but apart from that I see no real problem.

Layout
You said the guide looked UGLY. Now it's not UGLY but it's not TERRIBLE either. It just needss some LOVE. I suggest you just look at this, and maybe just use that template, which is mostly copy-pasting.

Enjoyment to read
Even though the layout sucks, it's not bad to read through either. You did use the bb code for Jaxthis alot and that makes it kinda easy to read. You know globally what your saying, and can read through if you want to read the details.

Extra information
You do know alot about Jax and about the top role. And that shines through your guide. You write a lot about him. Of course a guide is never done, there is so much information on playstyles and everything that you could endlessly write about Jax, but for the basic overal play you done a good job.

Overal
Change your layout a bit. Add more love. And you'll do fine. Overal this guide is good, but it needs that extra bbcoding and such. Dont worry, if you follow my comments your guide is nice :D I will vote up.

+1


Much appreciated, I'll try bbcoding in my spare time... someday :O.

Me ayudo mucho, y como dices, esta es muy diferente a todas las otras guias, esta es la buena, gracias por ayduarme a comrpender como aprovechar al maximo a jax.

There is somethign that i think that this and all the other guides that i have seen, is that there isnt PRo tips in how to use at 100% eficiency jax, what i mean is like, when you use empower, you can make it better if you wait just when jax hits the target and then empower and u will hit twice almost in the same moment, tips like tthat.

Srry for my bad english. :D

Yeah thats fine, I just don't like wriggles on jax. Its good vs lee/riven and other heavy ad.

Actually giving a decent to downvote unlike you, build has too high price to be viable.

Greater Glyph of Attack Damage will give you 2 ad, can't belive you actually suggested that....
You make Olaf look a bit too easy. "If he maxes reckelss swing first he is going to lose lane", why? Shall he max W first wich you can ignore with E? Or his Q wich will hardly be used for something else than the slow/ early harrasment? Thinking you can tank multiple E from him unless you are stacking some early hp is not a smart idea. It happened very few times to me to loose against jax as olaf (and they are both from my favorite champions).
Also Tough Skin is not a good mastery for laning, what will it help you with? If you attract minion aggro in early duels then you will loose even if you have this mastery or not. And in a bit later duels the damage dealt by minions won't even matter anymore.
Also you don't mention how dangerous is for the enemy team if you get Teleport for late game, Jax being a good pusher can split push all day and join a fight whenever needed.
This is a decent guide and deserves my upvote but just that you know, I consider there are better guides for jax.


The 2 AD can definitely make a difference if you play around with it as much as I have =). It actually bumps you to 18 AD and 13 Armor though.

Olaf can't trade with you maxing E past level 6. It hurts him too much on top of your nasty damage. Maxing Q lets him run away from you when you queue up stun if you dont have jump, and its safer poke.

Tough skin is super OP in lane, and its why its getting nerfed in S3. If your opponent doesn't have it, it means ANY SINGLE TRADE YOU FIGHT IN MINIONS you are going to win. Period. Minions doing 3-4 damage per hit to you is huge compared to 10-12 damage per hit. Yes it falls off, but most masteries due to. Executioner, which is the 21st point in offense tree is terrible.

Teleport is fine, it just doesn't fit my playstyle of killing the enemy laner 2-3 times then roaming and wrecking more people. You can take it if you want.
