Glad you liked the guide! Good luck on the grind with Jax!

Hello! I'm doing good thanks for asking.

Haven't vs'd Ryze much as of recent, but for that matchup I'd probably either go Grasp of the Undying or Fleet Footwork. Grasp will give you stronger short trades especially since Ryze will usually root you when you engage and run away with his Phase Rush. You usually want to let him proc Phase Rush and when its down then engage on him. He is relatively squishy before he acquires Seraph's Embrace so you should be able to wither him down bit by bit as long as you don't get poked by him through the wave. I'd just probably rock the standard build of Trinity Force into Stridebreaker to keep up with him, but you can also throw in a Wit's End for some magic resistance.

I personally run Grasp of the Undying and try to go for just quick W's during lane, also baiting him to W and backstepping out of it and then walking up again. Make sure to deny him the healing off his blobs if possible since thats his main source of sustain. At 6 you have to be careful since his ult spawns a lot of blobs for him and also does a lot of damage. It's not a very good lane for Jax imo but its winnable.

Hello! Don't think that item is something that Jax wants since your ult CD isn't that problematic anyways, and you want ability haste for your normal abilities rather than only your ult.

Hello!

I haven't faced Tahm Kench yet personally, so I can't say yet anything really other than I'd still probably go Trinity Force into Titanic Hydra since early on you can still kill him and afterwards just waveclear with Hydra.

I'm not sure about any of the shred items yet for Jax. In some rare cases maybe Terminus is viable but I won't make any statements yet on that since I haven't tested much. Also in terms of sustain Sundered Sky is a viable option.

Really don't see Guinsoo's Rageblade working for Jax since he has no HP while rushing it and you are also giving up Sheen on first item. If you go Essence Reaver second, still have no HP to tank anything. At its best, it's probably a 4fun build you can do, but personally I don't see it.

Glad you enjoyed the guide! My guide definitely needs a bit of visual tuning but I've been really lazy with putting together new ideas towards it. It will happen eventually though 👍

I still stick to the regular Divine Sunderer -> Wit's End/ Blade of the Ruined King -> situational basically just depending on what enemy team has. Zhonya's Hourglass is pretty nice item even sometimes 2nd if you need to be the one engaging for your team since it will buy you time while your team follows your engage.

While it's true I preferred Wit's End for a long time, my choice basically depends on what I'm laning vs and if they have multiple AP champions. If they have like 2-3 AP champions or more then I probably opt for Wit's End, unless they are really behind and the game seems like a stomp then I might just go Blade of the Ruined King anyways. Blade of the Ruined King is fine if they have less AP damage since you can itemize things like Anathema's Chains vs singular AP champ or a fed AP champ.

Corrupting Potion got nerfed and you don't run Time Warp Tonic because of the nerf on it as well, so its overall just worse these days. Doran's Blade or Doran's Shield is just far superior option these days since it gives good stats for laning and generally allows you to sustain and fight through your way for the first reset to buy Refillable Potion if you need the extra sustain. Only difference is you have to be a bit more conservative with mana but that's why you take Biscuit Delivery to help you with mana issues.

While Conqueror is viable choice, I think Lethal Tempo is still just superior since it makes you a lot stronger in early lane phase and if you can't make use of Lethal Tempo then you opt for Grasp of the Undying in matchups like Akali and Kennen etc where you don't get extended trades.

Zhonya's Hourglass is a situational item for Jax. If you are doing the engaging for your team and your team doesn't really have proper follow up, or if you just need to buy time in general in fights then Zhonya's Hourglass is a fine option.

Hello!

The regular Jax build is still superior to going AP build. The changes to Jax basically just allow him to have a broader itemization and include some AP items in his regular build situationally like Cosmic Drive and Zhonya's Hourglass. The laning and scaling to late game with AP build is just way harder than with the normal build, and you are relying on oneshotting a lot with the AP build.

You usually want to pop your R as soon as the fight begins since it makes you more tanky in general. There is really no specific way to utilize the item other than just R and wreck the enemies with your abilities :D

Also the W+Q+E thing, you generally most of the time don't want to use your W damage for Q since you can use your W as an auto reset (ex. jump on enemy with Q, then auto and then reset auto animation with W to maximize damage output)
