Tips against Zac Top?

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?

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.

thanks!

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

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

(39) |

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.

Really thank you!!! you really helped me.you really helped me.

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.

1

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.

1

|

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!!

Hello! I like your guide! I wanted to know something... Is still worthy to build AP with Jax currently? Since his AP ratios are pretty nice, I see his damage output is OP XD But I dont know if this kind of build stills being a good idea. Recently, I was playing as Jax and all my team were AD, so... I was thinking of this build can be good in this kind of situations or not, and stick to AD.

2

(39) |

Hello!

The regular build is still superior to going AP build. The changes to basically just allow him to have a broader itemization and include some AP items in his regular build situationally like and . 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.

1

|

Thank you! :D You are right. It is hard to survive being AP.

Hi! I love your guide and check back every patch to see your thoughts on new items, runes, and matchup changes. Few questions, any thoughts or tips for the K'sante matchup? I haven't played against him very often as Jax and I feel like I either stomp or get stomped and am unsure how to play it optimally. Also what are your thoughts on taking grasp/conqueror? I see a lot of pros and other high elo Jax players taking grasp. Do you ever take it? When and why do you, or why don't you take it? I don't see many people taking conqueror any more but does it still have it's place? Thanks!

Hello!

Glad you enjoy the guide! I think is pretty rough to lane vs since he is, well a new champ and he has a lot of mobility to get out of your E or even just ignore it with his W CC immunity. You can beat him but you have to dodge his Q to not get chunked in lane but its so low cooldown its pretty hard to manage. Also when he R's you have to respect his damage a lot and you cant really jump on him near his tower since he will just insec you into his tower range then.

I still have played mostly since its just felt really good so far but scales better since later into the game attack speed isn't going to be as valuable due to how quickly fights end and people get bursted. is probably good in some matchups but will help you be stronger in lane which helps you get ahead and win games but I'll have to try more this patch. I only really run into champions like , and maybe since you can't get extended trades into them making and less valuable, but you are giving up scaling by taking so I would limit it to these matchups only really.

I like this guide very much, it has a lot of usefull information and very important things to know, I want to ask to you: Is de new R better than old R, because it´s ok and well you hit the R passive only with 2 AA but the old R was good to, and now with some skins jax look some weird than before because the new R, also de Legendary Skin before had a super shield that looks amazing and has a lot of textures, and now they replace that with an poor aura. Before I play Jax a lot but with this I don´t very sure, also I was going to buy Mecha Kingdoms Jax but with this things I told you I change the idea. Regards!!

Hello!

Glad you liked the guide!

The new R in terms of gameplay is better since its an more involving ult in a way that you have to think more of how and when you want to use it instead of just using it before a fight to get extra resistances. Sadly the VFX are pretty bad and the animations for the 3rd auto from R are really bad too for 1350+ skins but apparently they are working on improving them so hopefully they get fixed asap. I've personally just stuck to older skins for now like Nemesis and PAX on my main.

hello, why dont you recomend ravenous hydra? so many champions use it now

2

(39) |

Hello!

isn't really what wants in his regular builds since the item is purely damage oriented, and you already have filling that spot. That item will fit into the build, where you first go -> , into , but that build requires you to snowball and be ahead since your first item really isn't all that great.

Hey PH45,
Just some simple questions to ask:
1) What are your toughts on being removed from the game?
2) What item do you think is gonna use if he will not have an item that resets his CD from his abilities?
3) How much is gonna affect ?
4) Do you think that will be in the build again when will be removed?
Would've been great if Riot could make an item the same as but less powerful.

That's my questions about only based on Shojin. I don't get it why they want to remove the item when its not that powerful in my opinion.
I don't have questions about the guide or something from the guide. Its a great guide, very good explained, the coding is fantastic and that's it I think. I think I will comment again when the is removed. You need to be ready to update the builds because of the item being removed.
Hope you'll respond fast or whenever you have time.

Hello!

1) It is healthy for the game and honestly I've been waiting for it for a while myself. It really makes no sense having the item in the game when only a select few champs utilize the item extremely well to almost broken state. Good riddance to it.

2) will kind of stay in the game with the Cloud Drake Soul, although again you don't get to choose if you get it or not. I think for the most part will go back to the build of + + , and you can then choose CDR items like , , etc since you'll be adapting your build depending on your needs.

3) It will definitely turn him weaker, but again was fine before they even introduced (Previous ). It will make hard certain comps harder to play into but to be honest it was a bit busted to have E up permanently in fights. will be probably still very playable with his old weaknesses, although we'll have to see how the changes go through.

4) I don't think is a good item on since it's a purely offensive stat item. It's awkward to build since you'll be squishy with it through-out the build period. Sure it grants you sustain which is nice but likes items that give him HP (, etc). The item will still remain as a 4fun item imo, if you are hard snowballing/smurfing and you are confident on your victory then sure, but otherwise there are better items to build. Also I don't think the concept of should ever be introduced as a item again. They already are adding a version of it with the Dragon souls so having it as an item too would be broken. The game is far better off without it since champions like , and can't abuse the item.

I'll definitely be updating guides more during the pre-season, right now I'm in Season 10 waiting room :D

Didn't think that you'll respond that fast. It looks like you really love to respond to comments as much as I do on my guidea.

Onto your answers:

1) You are right here, the game will be more healthy. The item was somehow powerful because it gave you a big cdr from your skills. Let's take 's E as example. Let's say that his skill has 7 cd when you used it. makes his skill go to 2 seconds. But it depends, because the item needs your hits to make his job.

2) Yeah, the CDR items are great, but he will have to wait a lot for his skills to comeback jn team fighta. But as you say that the Cloud Drake will give the buff, it will be pretty OP in my opinion for others champions as like . Only my toughts, we'll see how the buff will be when we get there. We think that it can be broken, but maybe it sill not be broken.

3) Yeah, it made him weaker when his kit is a problem because its very expensive. If his enemy gets feed by 2 kills, will need to farm and even take his Jungler farm brcause his kit is very powerful late. But depends, mostly of the Junglers are ignoring top and even if they have a when he is supposed to be ganked in early because he sucks in early. Well, can't say about when they dominate Bruisers when it had to be vice versa. Can't say about when he got more broken, no idea why they buffed him when it was already broken.

4) Yeah, you are right. will not be in his, let's say "Standard" build. Yes, I love items that gave HP. And you may be right about the build from the "2)" instead of because it has CDR and Life Steal. But you can make useful on . You may wonder how. Well, if you have no AP in your team and the enemies will buy . It may sounds stupid, don't really know. But tell me if its good or not, you are better than me on . :>

Yup, I can even see that you are hyped for Season 10 to configure things from the guide. To me its not mich to edit because I only have my and guide. Anyway, let's ignore that. I Just hope is still good. I even had a time when I played jungler by going > > . Those 3 items is still making viable without .

Let's talk about as you mentioned it:

1) What do you think about the change? It is good or bad?
2) Do you think that will move to or if will be useless.
3) Do you think affects Bruisers that much? Even mages as .
4) Do you think the AD stacks will be great on ?

I don't know why they nerfed that hard. Its not they nerfed it so much and they of course changed to more AD each stack. Well, it can be solved with being a better version of .

One question for you.
Are you hyped that you are near 10m views?

It may be a stupid question. Don't know if you enjoyed these questions, but here are some questions. If you like more questions about your guide and want me to tell you, I have a long list with questions ready for you. :D

It's fun to get interaction in guides so I'm more than happy to answer questions to my best ability :D

1) Ever since they introduced there has always been people who disliked it. Especially the current iteration has been a bit flawed since some champions can proc it much faster than others. Tanks have been quite obsolete for a while so I think it's okay to change it, although we'll have to see the stats it will give when it hits PBE.

2) Don't think will move to at least. is an okey choice but I've been recently enjoying on so it's a choice as well.

3) Sure, it offers them a way to deal with resistances and also the healing part of it helps in extended fights/trades too so it really was designed for fighters. That being said when they changed it to the current iteration it benefited a lot of mages as well since they could stack it really fast. There will definitely be a difference once it is changed, although not that many mages run it anymore (thankfully).

4) liked before, so the "new" should too. Since he is an auto reliant champion he will make use of the AD for sure since he is constantly throwing autos in.

Too much true damage is unbalanced since there is no counterplay to it, hence the nerf to 's true damage was probably justified. is a pretty bad item for imo, since it's purely an offensive item (just like . Also it has a bug right now I think where 's ultimates 3rd hit doesn't always proc correctly.

And to answer your last question: It's really awesome and hype to see that people have found my guide helpful and new people keep finding it. When I originally created this guide I never thought it would get this popular :D

Again, I'm more than happy to answer questions so shoot if you have any and I'll do my best to answer! ^^

You're right. It's so fun to interact with people that are interest into your guides. Even I love answering my comments from my guides. Too bad that nobody comments on mine anymore. '-'

I never tried on . I don't know if it is good to take. I'm afraid that i'll die fast when was saving me mostly in fights. I mean, you are not obligated to take secondary. is good to take, I think...

Yeah, you're kinda right about . It doesn't really help him. If it had HP in the item, then it could be great on , just saying. And I was wondering why my 3rd attack does not proc correctly. I tought I was blind or something.

Correct me if I am wrong in what I said in up there. I can sometimes be wrong. :D

Shall we go into the questions? Yeah, we should. :3

1) What do you think about on on Top? I saw many enemies having on Top. They kinda destroyed my team...
2) Can be used on like in the past?
3) Life steal builds on are great? I had a ally and buyed 3 items with life steal and he dominated.
4) Will you gonna make a build for that has Life Steal? With a rune too if needed because has Life Steal.
5) Is great on on Top? On Jungle we already know that is good.
6) Why don't you put the remaining rune ( + ) in your guide. I mean up with the other runes.
7) Do you think + is great on Top? I mean... You'll mostly be on Top and farm while needs stacks... Or to get back on your lane faster. I think is better than on Top if the rune is good to take.
8) Can be good to take on ?
9) Do you think is good to take on when the gets nerfed? In my opinion, I think its bad. But let's hope will still be a great Rune to take.
10) Do you think needs buff on early? I mean, he really sucks when 1v1 with the enemy. He has a big chance to loose the fight. It depends, because is always fighting with champions that are countering him or champions that are for early (ex. ).
11) Do you think needs nerfs? If he needs, tell what it should be changed or nerfed.
12) What do you need to do if you die 2 times as an example on your lane. He cannot do anything just farm but still gets bullied by the enemy.
13) Why do Junglers ignore mostly allies on their team? Because every game I get ignored by my Jungler when I ping for strong 3 minutes for a help.
14) Why does it says that counters , but kills him pretty easily. Maybe destroys him in late. Still I'm not really sure about this question. Why you may ask? Because I got tired of players hitting me with a crit at 1 pixel of his rage.
15) Which champions do needs to ban? You can even tell by a list like:
Ban list of Champions based on the bullying level:
Extreme: , , etc.
Hard: , , etc.
Medium: , , etc.
Easy: , , etc.

[WARNING]Only if you want to make the list. You don't really need to do it.[WARNING]
Fancy announcement, eh? :3

Which number I was? I lost counting. :c
Oh, 16). :>

16) What do you think about taking on ? I saw a streamer that goes with these boots and he had some really great wins with those boots. Maybe he liked attack speed builds so much. Who knows, you give the answer. xD
17) Crit items are great to take on ? We already know that they ain't really great on him, but you can give an explain about it if you want or just give the answer of YES or NO. As I said, "IF" you want to explain, you are free to do it. :D
18) Which role does fits more on him. Top laner or Jungler. In my opinion, he is better Top because of his story fighting with people on the arena and got banned because he never lost. Till he had to choose between his weapons being:
- a fishing rod
- a chicken leg
- a lamp
- and the 4th one I forgot which one it was... :c
Hope its not a problem that I bringed his story. ^.^
I mostly get players that plays him on Jungle. But I love him on Top. I think he is better on Top.
19) Which role do you like more when playing ? You can say how much you like that role like this:
How much I like to play on these roles:
- Top: 80%
- Jungle: 20%
In my opinion its more fun with him on Top. More challenging playing him on Top. >:D
20) Which champions should ban as Jungler. You can do the same as the question with "Which champions should be banned on Top", if you want.
21) Which rune is better to take against or ? & , & , & , & , + .
22) Which rune is your favorite? Mine is & . :D
23) If you had to modify , what you would adjust from the rune?
24) Do you think is having a hard time farming when he gets poking champions enemies like , , , etc.

You want more questions? I can give you more. :D

Why I'm really interested into your guide? Well, if you didn't know, the guide was my favorite from them all and its still favorited on google on the first page and every time when I open the internet, I always click on your guide to see what's new. When I favorited your guide? Like 1 year ago or more. Your guide was my ever first guide when using mobafire. :3
Yeah, I'm a big fan of your guide. I even wanted to start making a guide but gave up because its no point making when we already have the best guide made by PH45. Who knows, maybe I will finish the guide and go between the other guides and maybe try to get under your guide with mine. But its impossible. Nobody can get past your guide. Yours is the mostly popular, a huge amount of views, and really great amount of likes. Oh, and comments too. You have many comments and I bet you had a smile every positive comment you got. Too bad that mine didn't got comments in like months.

Why did you removed your "Update log" chapter? Was it too big?

Will you celebrate when you hit 10.000.000 views? I bet you will and I can't wait for you to reach 10m. Well, even I do can't wait for my guide reaching 100k views. Small number, huh? xD
Well, why wait? Get that champagne and get drunk while celebrating.

Have you ever had toughts on getting your guide this far? I know that you are so proud of what your guide did to you to get so popular, you even made other guides on different champions. But still, the guide is my favorite from your other guides.

Well, my brain does not work really well when it gets tired. And its hard to think which questions do I need to use that I even forgot some of them. Believe me or not, took me 1 hour to make this comment. But it was worth it. :D
Well, I do get happy when I answer to questions too. And I get happy when I interact with creators of some guides. Well, some of them are ignoring the comments... But didn't think that you'll be that active interacting with peoples. When I was thinking about doing the first comment on your guide I was "What if he does not respond?".

Well, if you need more questions. I will try my best to make the comment even longer. ^^
And as you wanted more questions. Here you have up there. :D
I enjoyed so much asking you these questions and interacting with you about some informations that I didn't knew or I wasn't sure about.

Also, a question from me as a main and playing him all lanes (I have a guide on him that its almost to 100k, sorry for saying about my guide, hope its not a problem). What do you think about against on the lane? It may be a stupid question and has no reason about the guide. But it has in it, right? :D
N-no? Ok... :c

Well, I hope you can answer them all. Hope I didn't made your brain melt after reading all of these. Again, if you want more questions, feel free to say. I will comeback too when you hit 10m views. :D

Alright here we go :D

You are right, you are not obligated to take as secondary, but personally I'm very used to having it so it feels really weird to play without it, but in some cases the rune is just too good to pass on.

1) Personally I don't think it's that good. I've seen a korean player in D1-Master elo play only top but I don't really understand his reasoning for it. Sure can proc it fast but most of the time likes extended trades where runes like really shine. So it might be viable, but there are far better options than .

2) I never really liked Jax either. It's viable sure since you can proc it easily with and get extra gold and sustain but I've overall always disliked the rune due to it being RNG and overall I hate it due to champions like and just abusing it in lane.

3) Problem with lifesteal builds is that the items that grant you it grant no defensive stats otherwise, so you are purely relying on the healing instead of actual defense stats like health and resistances. is probably the one I'd go for if I'd have to get lifesteal but very rarely do I ever buy a lifesteal item on . If the enemy comp has little to no CC then I rather go for the lifesteal.

4) I probably won't include a lifesteal build unless the meta somehow turns to build those items. As I stated in previous answer I take if I need the lifesteal and don't need Tenacity in return.

5) I think some koreans ran on vs ranged top laners, but I never liked the rune on either since there have just been better choices to take. I'd stick to or in top lane and leave and for jungle.

6) It's due to the fact that I very very rarely run it myself even. I don't think secondary is that good in most cases, if you need it then might as well go it primary unless you absolutely need for the true damage.

7) Problem with and are that you need the stacks, and since you are isolated in top lane you aren't going to grab those stacks early unless you get a good gank to bot lane and get the needed stacks from there. I'd say out of the two I'd prefer since 's damage is mostly single target so he is going to benefit from the rune a lot, is more aimed towards champions that need the mobility out of combat and want to ambush. While can do that, benefits more from the healing imo.

8) I've ran only on support. I don't really encourage to pick it but I've found some success with it :D. In top lane I wouldn't say it's that worth since if you are going as main rune tree then just go . In bot lane you benefit from the resistances since you won't be building as much damage so you are there just to soak damage, but in top lane you want to be dealing damage as well.

9) Nah I wouldn't bother with on . does the almost the same thing except it gives you permanent HP for procs too and you get the benefits of /, since it is probably a difficult lane you would be taking into.

10) I don't think needs any buffs. He already got a buff when no one asked for one and the buff was really good since now you can max W>E>Q. If he got buffed he would just be pick or ban again most likely, though it might change in pre-season although from what I tested in PBE the new Conqueror didn't feel too bad although both games I played in were hard ff's due to afk's/unlucky games. Also I didn't get to test in a tank matchup so that remains to be seen too. Also isn't too bad of a matchup to imo, he is annoying but you can play around his kit by dodging his Q and then ing his W.

11) Don't think he needs nerfs tbh, especially since is getting removed that will bring down in power a good amount, and also the true damage removal from will hurt him so those are indirect nerfs to him.

12. It's very matchup dependent, but your options really are to just turtle under tower and grab the cs/exp you can, build defensive components first to survive better, and try to maybe look for tp ganks/roams if you can't accomplish anything in your lane. Most important thing is to stop dying and maybe get good vision coverage otherwise so you can warn your teammates if your opponent is roaming since you can't really stop them if you are down in xp/gold.

13) It's probably just junglers ignoring top lane in general. Opponents really like to shut down since they are afraid of his powerspikes, meanwhile your own teams junglers care more about the more impactful lanes like mid/bot since they are more near the dragon. Just the life of a top laner.

14) outscales , but a good can definitely win the lane phase and win the game before get's to outscale]]. Early on the matchup is more even due to just being able to outsustain due to his , later on as the game progresses gets his CDR and and then can just deny most of his damage due to just being up so much more often. Personally I'm a fan of , he is my second pick usually if isn't open/isn't a good pick.

15) Ehh I don't think I'll make a list, but the most annoying matchups for sure (at least to me]] are , , , , , , and .

16) I saw TF Blade do it, and it was for getting faster procs on , so he could just have his abilities up even faster. While it can work, I still prefer and in 99% of cases due to them offering a bit of resistances on the side and useful passives like the auto damage reduction or Tenacity.

17) doesn't have synergy with crit items. Again most if not all crit items are purely offensive items, and doesn't really work if he is purely damage built since he will just get blown up. The only thing really that kind of has any encouragement on buying crit on is his passive that grants him attack speed, otherwise there is really no reason.

18) I think he is better in top lane overall. jungle is more of a low/mid elo pick since you can get away with not doing early skirmishes there, but in higher elo people pick junglers that actually win those hard. Since is aimed at late game and not early, he loses to many junglers especially early if they are just playing their cards right. Running him in jungle though gives you in some cases more "safety" to scale since you aren't constantly vs your opponent which gives you the freedom to farm unless you are getting counter jungled.

19) I like playing top 90% and jungle 10%. As I stated in previous answer, jungle can work in higher elos but most of then I just prefer to pick something like etc rather than if I'm jungling.

20) I don't really specifically ban any matchups in jungle unless I'm specifically annoyed by a certain champ due to an earlier game. Most often I'll just ban a strong champion in general that I don't want to face and that can be from any lane/role really.

21) I always run + into both matchups, although I've been banning recently so I don't have to lane vs him.

22) I like and the most, since it's a good mix for lane phase and late game. helps you in lane and gives you more power for late game.

23) Never really thought about that. I've always considered true damage to be stupid since there is no counter to it, but it sucks to see it go from . So maybe I would've brought the percentage down a bit more from the current version and maybe upped the healing by a percentage or two, although I'm not a balance designer so this might've just been a stupid choice :D The current iteration on PBE seems definitely worse since I think (if I correctly understood with the quick glance) the healing applies after migitation meaning you'll heal less if they have a lot of resistances so that makes the rune worse vs resistance stackers.

24) Sure it makes farming hard if you are put under constant poke since you have to reset more often due to running out of sustain. Vs I don't think it's as hard since I just try to keep perma agroing on him with to keep him at bay since he isn't as strong early, and vs I try to pressure her into using her W and then fighting her. Vs you can somewhat farm but the current version of is really obnoxious to lane against and he can just bully you around even if you block his Q since his E is just so strong at the moment.

Cool to see people liking the guide, it has definitely been a long time since I created this and I've worked on it a lot, although recently with being in school and focusing on streaming I've been doing less things here on MF, although I'm trying to get back to it. I'd say definitely write your guide on as well. It doesn't have to be about it doing well, but just for the fun. I never thought my guide would make it, but I just made it out of interest to and out of the enjoyment of playing him.

I removed the update log since it started to look really cluttered due to it being there almost since the start of the guide.

Don't think I'll celebrate it in any special way to be honest. Of course it's awesome to hit big milestones like that but I'm not much of a drinker outside very special occasions like New Year and so on :D

Like I told you, I never thought my guide would get this much attention, but it slowly kept getting more attention and I kept improving it and here we are. This guide is definitely my favorite out of the ones I created since this is by far the one that I've put most effort and work into (obviously since it's the oldest out of the bunch too :D).

Trust me it took a long time for me to compile this answer too, I think I'm 45 minutes in into this atm.

If you got questions you can shoot em at me, but maybe a bit less at time since it takes a long time to write answers into this long comments :D. Definitely cool though that you are this interested in my answers!

vs is quite an annoying lane for since is just really slippery so it's hard to take him down, although the recent nerf to his grey health healing makes the lane much more doable for and thankfully I don't see top lane really ever anymore since it was really annoying always to face one.

I think I got them all, my brain didn't melt, it just took a bit of waking me up since I slept a bit too little last night, all good though and thanks for the questions. Again, if you got more you can shoot em at me but maybe just a bit less at a time :D

Alright here we go. :D
It really seem like you love to answer question. We can fill a library while doing this. xD

Onto your lovely answers.
(Only answering the questions that needs to talk about, the others are already great explained)

1) Yeah, but saw so many players in my games with and they we're dominating so hard. I think they scare the enemy with hitting them when doing his combo. Still don't know how works that great on some people. Can't blame them. They are playing their way. xD

2) Koreans are using on . Heck, these runes are viable for them but for us EU? Small world huh? But is not broken because of his damage or his build. But because of . He gets mana potions, right? He is based on energy. What happens with the mana potions? He freaking transform them into sack of golds. Broken meta tbh.

3) Yeah, that's what I tought to myself with life steal builds. You can be one shotted without armor or health in those items. I bring when the enemy team has no CC because of attack speed. :3

4)Yeah, I think its better idea to not make builds on life steal. being tanky is better.

It is ok if I will get into the questions? I mean, I read every lovely answer and understood everything. :D

Onto the questions:
As said 10 questions per comment to not make you stay a lot again. xD

1) What do you think the new from Preseason?
2) What do you think about the new ? Would be good on ?
3) on ?
4) Would you replace your screenshots from your runes chapters? They have in there. xD
5) Why was using in the past (like this early 2019) and now he moved to .
6) What will you choose between and ? Which is better? (In my opinion because it gives you the opportunity to clutch a 1v2)
7) Do you think 's items are very expensive? For me are extremely expensive.
8) Which skins on are your favorite? Can I tell which are mine that I own on him? Free to answer.
9) being bullied by more aggressive when he moved to . Do you think he still needs nerfs after the recent ones? I will say yes.
10) What do you think about facing mid laners enemies (ex. , , , , etc)?

As promised, I made the comment with 10 questions. :D
And thank you for giving me the courage to unarchive the guide when I gave up being the 8th guide at the list. It's published, you can take a look if you want.

1) I think the rune is not really good, I don't see current users taking this and tbh I don't really understand why they need to keep a rune which is based on RNG in the game. Hopefully they work it into something entirely else.

2) It's good that it's aimed more at tanks so we can finally get rid of support. I don't think it'll be that good on . While you will get some resistances and bonus HP as , I don't think it's enough beneficial other than in very specific situations/matchups.

3) In theory it sounds good and it could be a good option into matchups you have to stick onto targets. Problem again is that really likes his keystones that do damage, and while you can stick onto your targets better if you won't deal damage then whats the use really. I've personally never tried it out but it could be decent into champions like maybe.

4) Ah another careless mistake, will try to remember to fix it. :D

5) got nerfed and everyone transitioned into using since the nerf on felt so bad. Then slowly people realized that is still decent and started moving back to it due to it's benefits. Also people moved back to due to s damage getting nerfed.

6) I run really every time since you'll most of the time be in the middle of the fights as so you should be getting a good amount of value from it in most cases since you aren't going to stay full HP.

7) They are expensive. is a strong item so naturally it's going to cost a pretty penny. This is one of the reason why is a scaling champion since he requires his items to function to his fullest potential.

8) Feel free to tell which are your favorites. I own all skins, and I would rank them in this order out of personal preference:

Top tier: PAX Jax (I like the theme and the look of the skin, also the rarity), Nemesis Jax (Just due to the look and the fluidity for me at least), God Staff Jax (Looks really nice but feels clunky at times, also currently his autos don't make a sound always so it's confusing at times)

Mediocre tier: Angler Jax (Autos feel a bit bad to me at least, otherwise decent skin, Jaximus (The skins backstory is cool and the extra voiceline is nice, although in-game it isn't the best looking skin), Temple Jax (Nothing special really, looks decent in-game)

Not a fan of: The Mighty Jax (He looks weird without his cape), Vandal Jax (A recolor of base with a different weapon), SKT T1 Jax (The auto sounds are nice, esp the 3rd ult hit but otherwise not a fan of how it looks in-game), Warden Jax (Looks bulky and I never just really liked the look, theme colorwise is nice but just don't like the look).

9) Yes, he still needs nerfs imo. While his winrate fell down he is still really obnoxious to lane against due to his E. Of course I'm not a judge of how to balance the game but I think the 4 damage off from his spin isn't enough of a nerf.

10) Haven't had much lanes like these. Out of the bunch I feel is relatively easy early since when he uses his you can force his with an all-in. At level 6 he becomes more of a threat but I feel you can take him down quite easily unless he snowballs.

is a more common matchup. wins it after early levels since can poke you out of auto range with his Q, and kite you in your minion wave. Best way to fight him is when there aren't minions around for him to dash to. After 6 you hit harder thanks to your ult and early s hurt his damage a lot.

is a bit tricky after 6 due to his stealth and his constant poke with his W is annoying, but again helps a lot and your also reduces his W and ult damage, although you should make sure to hit your stun on him since he is slippery as hell which makes him hard to kill.

And as I think I previously said back when top was a thing it was an annoying matchup due to his constant healing and slipperiness which made killing him nearly impossible. Thankfully his healing got nerfed now so I think the lane would be overall more manageable these days.

Also grats on releasing your guide! :D

Sorry for the late respond. >.<

Skins that I own on :
Tier:

The ones that I love: SKT T1 Jax & God Staff Jax.

The ones that I don't really like them looking: Nemesis Jax, Warden Jax.

The ones that I like them: Temple Jax.

Questions time!

1) I saw TFBlade going against rangers. Do you think could be good on Top only against Rangers? It might be since you'll be doing 3 hits instead of 1.
2) What secondary rune can be good to take on as Jungler? I saw many people going and (???).
3) What enemies do you want mostly to face against?
4) Do you managed to make a build on when played on PBE?
5) What matchups do you think are harder for on his lane? Talking about your enemy. Only him. The AD, AP or Full Tank?
6) is a problem for ? I think mostly on early because he will bully and does a lot of damage early. But on late, that's a next level of undying.
7) Do you think his abilities needs some reworks? If you do, feel free to say.
8) His passive needs a nerf or a buff? Its balanced. But hey! Since you love interacting with my questions? I got one. :D
9) As we said that has his items expensive. Which item would you modify his price? (ex. = 3000 g)
10) Will you forget to replace your screenshots from the rune chapter? Bringed that to not forget. :D

Hey! I'm a main . Why you are so mean to him. ;-;
Well, to be said, is only annoying when having . Why? Because he will deal a damage like a truck and you don't know what to do next. Since I even moved to from + because it felt outdated... Also, they killed him with that nerf. Didn't knew that will affect his main role. From 50% winrate to 43% next to . At least can eat some fish if will fish for her. Right?
Psst… I have a guide on him since I bringed these words "I am a main". I have a guide on him. If you want to see it, just press on these not suspicious words "Free candy". >.>

And a question for you:
How much it took you to make the guide when first time making it.

Thank you! Soon, my guide will get past you! In like 10 years or so. xD

1) I've seen some Korean players do it as well. I understand the thought process behind it and it works fine for some matchups like . My own preference still against ranged champions is as I've never really liked that much. The thing about is that it's most effective on champions like who want to quickly proc a 3-auto combo or a stacking champion like . Sure has an auto reset to take advantage of this keystone but imo it's less effective in most cases than .

2) I take most of the time with and . Since you are jungling chances are you can actually stack and getting that slight extra pen when you is a nice benefit. I really don't know why people run while jungling, and is mostly taken for and .

3) Other bruisers and some juggernauts are probably the matchups that are the most fun. Sure some annoyances like and etc pop up every once in a while but I'll take one of those melee matchups anyday over something like matchup.

4) I didn't get too far. I think I got , and one game but my games were quick losses due to rage quits or overall just due to my team getting stomped.

5) Full tanks are always boring since after the 1 or 2 bases they become more tanky and eventually they just might hug the tower where you can't really kill them. That being said tanks aren't the hardest matchups out of the bunch since you can just buy and keep them shoved in. AP matchups are hard early since you either invest in MR and lack your core items for a while, or buy your core and get poked to oblivion.

6) I haven't lost to a in a while in lane, although than again I see him so rarely. Just buying an early if he is an issue always helps and just not taking his Q poke by staying behind minions helps.

7) I don't think they really need any work on them. His kit is fairly simple but effective. I'm sure down the line when maybe some day gets his visual update they will do a small update on him gameplay-wise but as of now I can't really say what they would change about him.

8) Yeah I don't think it needs any work, it's just fine :D

9) If we would want to modify the price of , some stats from it would have to be lost which really doesn't want as he benefits from all of the stats. Sadly bruisers just naturally have costly items in most cases (mainly users. I wouldn't really want to modify any of the items prices since they offer really good stats and passive's for the prices, although they are costly.

10) Fixed it finally :P

in general is fairly annoying champion to deal with due to his slipperiness and gold sharing mechanic.

And for the final question: I can't honestly remember. I read a lot of BBCode guides and looked at templates before I even started writing my guide. I just wrote stuff on it whenever something popped on my mind.
