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

Great guide!

Hi, how are you doing? the ryze matchup is pissing me off lately... can you recommend me runes, build and or advices for it? pleasee

(39) |

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.

Thank you!

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?

(39) |

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.

thanks!

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

(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.

(39) |

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.

(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?

(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?

(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!!

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.

(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.

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

Greetings, I have a problem, and it is that I do not know in what situation I should arm myself bork + trinity, or arm trinity + black cleaver

(39) |

Hello!

I personally really never run + . Only games I really ever buy is if I'm vs . Other than that I just mostly run + or if I'm really behind I might just go second.

Sorry for necro'ing, but this was after the changes to Cleaver, right?
I usually run your PoM + Ravenous Hunter page because it feels nice to never run out of mana, but I that's just me being wasteful / bad at managing my mana...
I also often rush Bork but I'm not even sure why tbh, lifesteal feels nice I guess...

Yes, this is after changes to .

just got heavily nerfed so I don't consider it worthy rune to take in lane, and while is nice I still really like to have since it brings a lot of value in fights especially for the reason that I don't really build sustain.

I get that a lot of people are stuck on running since it was the item in previous seasons for . While it's still a powerful 1st item spike, I really feel that rush is way better, and overall I only really go bork if I'm behind or I want to match champions like with the item. Lifesteal is nice, but I don't feel like its necessary on this champion.
