Hello! For the matchup I personally like taking and with this new season, and just trying to play for a lead especially early on before he becomes tanky. The obvious point is to sidestep his Q since that denies him healing, damage and a slow on you and then you can just all in him pretty much. Also especially early on his E shield is pretty weak so that's why I'd try to push for a lead early.

In lane you can play near minions and walk behind them once he throws Q, or just sidestep if you are confident on that. If he walks up for a cs you can just W him and back off also to get some free damage off. Taking long trades near his tower is risky since if he gets his passive you'll just get thrown under his tower with his ult.

I don't think which build you go really matters in this matchup specifically, so I would just look at your comp and then decide whether you go or route.

I will take the guy from the guide as my teacher, I hope you wish me luck because I will follow your advice blindly, I really liked the general writing, sorry if it is not very understandable, it is because I use a translator

Hello! I'm doing good thanks for asking.

Haven't vs'd much as of recent, but for that matchup I'd probably either go or . Grasp will give you stronger short trades especially since will usually root you when you engage and run away with his . You usually want to let him proc and when its down then engage on him. He is relatively squishy before he acquires 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 into to keep up with him, but you can also throw in a for some magic resistance.

Tips against Zac Top?

I personally run 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 imo but its winnable.

Hi! I currently following your guide to play Jax and I'm improving little by little
And i have a question to ask, Did you try the Experimetal Hexplate on Jax for the S14?

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

hii!!! The new season has greatly changed the builds of many characters, including Jax. and I noticed that taam kench has become very hard for Jax, since without divin sunderer Jax lacks sustain and damage against it.what do you recommend buying, and basically what to do against this catfish?

Hello!

I haven't faced yet personally, so I can't say yet anything really other than I'd still probably go into 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 . In some rare cases maybe is viable but I won't make any statements yet on that since I haven't tested much. Also in terms of sustain is a viable option.

Could jax use any of the new items like rageblade and go hybrid jax since now he has better AP ratios?

2

(39) |

Really don't see working for since he has no HP while rushing it and you are also giving up on first item. If you go 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.

Your guide is just loverly, my only thought is that maybe you want to build a color theme? pick a color, or a couple close colors, and consider even recoloring your item links. The idea being that your guide ends up with a more cohesive visual theme.

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 👍

Hi! I have one more question. . what jax build do you prefer this patch/season? it's just strange to see bork in the recommended items, knowing your preference, wits end.

1

I still stick to the regular -> / -> situational basically just depending on what enemy team has. 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 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 , unless they are really behind and the game seems like a stomp then I might just go anyways. is fine if they have less AP damage since you can itemize things like vs singular AP champ or a fed AP champ.

Hi! its me again for a simple question: its a bad option buy corropted potion at the start? not even the game recomend it anymore... why?

1

(39) |

got nerfed and you don't run because of the nerf on it as well, so its overall just worse these days. or 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 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 to help you with mana issues.

Hy! I really like your guide. what do you think about the conqueror? is he a good choice for jax? Or is lethal Tempo better? do need an hourglass for jax?

1

(39) |

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

is a situational item for . 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 is a fine option.

Thank you!!! This question arose from the fact that I often see a conqueror in some other jax players. so I decided to get your opinion on this rune. thanks a lot again!!

Hey thanks for making such a high-quality guide. Quick question tho, I keep having games with Jax where I win lane and get great cs but I still end up losing the game cause all the other lanes fed. My question is what item build path should I have for Jax when I'm the only one in our team that can get kills.

2

It's always situational depending on the enemy team comp. Do they have more AD or AP threats, perhaps both? Can you split or not?

In general it's always the cookie-cutter , and since those items allow you to both split and target the squishy damage dealers on the enemy team due to the auto reset on . Other than that items like allow you to maximize your uptime in a fight, and is also a great pickup in most games since there is so much CC in the game.

Again that is pretty generalized answer since you have to switch your itemset up depending on the game and based on your needs.

Thanks for the response! Usually, the games I struggle with are when I win against a Nasus in lane and he makes a comeback by snowballing off my feeding bot/jungle. Is building BOTRK recommended? if so do I build it before or after tri-force/Titanic Hydra/Steraks?

And in an entirely different situation where I choose to build gunblade, when do I build it? before or after tri-force/Titanic Hydra/Steraks? I feel like the sequence I build the items would make a difference in my games but I just dont know in what order to build them lol.

Thanks again! ^_^

is a pretty bad item by itself so I wouldn't recommend building it really ever. He's probably a bit tanky so usually you'll maybe want a armor penetration item since you don't have true damage anymore, so an item like is probably good due to both it having healing reduction and armor penetration. Other choice is , which I wouldn't usually recommend, but it adds a lot of dueling power, especially now that it's finally fixed for . Lastly, having 40% CDR helps a lot since you'll have your up way more against him, which cuts down his damage a lot. After a certain point though he becomes probably too strong to 1v1 due to his being a total cuck vs , and it having a low cooldown due to him having 40% CDR. In these cases try to either win with your team a teamfight while he is splitting, or cut him down if he is splitting with your team and then engage on the enemy after killing him.

I wouldn't bother with either. If you want healing, go since it adds a defensive side on top of the healing as well, and the CDR is very important stat on the item as well.

Right now my go-to build is most of the time like this: , boots, , after this either or , into situational items, although of course you should alter the build depending on the games course.

In these situations if enemy team team is split in terms of damafe type and I am ahead I tend to build DD to sustain enough to kill the Mid and Jg or Supp. I wanna specify that I play Jax as a jungler with the Press the Attack page.
