Introduction
I'm a casual gamer, I play FPS-games, MMORPGs and MOBAs.
I've been playing League of Legends since "pre"-season 1, started on the NA-servers, jumped to EUNE when Europe got servers and EUNE is my main server for now. I do have an account on EUW.

Hope it will will help somebody else too! Enjoy (if you can) :)

I'm aware that I haven't made a detailed Jax guide (Combos, how to succeed etc.), and it will come in the near future! I'd like some feedback about the overall guide, both looks and contents.
NOTE that the more advanced guide will pop up here asap, I just need to plan it a bit.
Pretty standar setup, I chose to do 19-11-0 but you can really do wahtever fits you. If you want to be a bit tankier 9-21-0 will do just as fine. I don't have a lot to say, pretty self explanatory.

Runes: As with the masteries - standard setup.
Runes




The Quintessence are the basic AD-champion runes. You can chose any of those three runes, but I prefere Physical Damage or Armor Pen. when laning TOP, Movement Speed when you are jungling.
Don't have much to say other than that.
The start of the game:



Against heavy AD like Zed, Garen or Riven you might want to buy Cloth Armor and pots.
If you're sure that you will dominate your lane, start with a longsword + 2 health potions or even a Doran's Blade in extreme cases, but I do not recommend this unless you really know what you're doing.
Core items:

The bread and butter of Jax and his, dare I say it, amazing burst and damage


These two items makes Jax a beast, I can't even put words on how strong they are on Jax and his skillset. But of course these items won't make you win your lane if you got a Garen with 6/0/2 score at 15 minutes. The point is that the tankyness and slow of the Phage combined with the burst of the Sheen will make Jax superstrong - and his Ult. passive.

Now I will go to the part where you got your boots and essential items
____________
I am superfed/dominating my lane:





+ You get the extra damage, AP, Attack speed, Crit. and that lovely 150% Sheen-buff.
It's an expensive item and makes you a glasscannon unless you buy more tanky items. It offers a lot of different stats that all benefit Jax, if you are fed this is the item to rush.


____________
I am nor fed or feeding, I want to be tanky:


NOTE: If you buy Frozen Mallet + Iceborn Gauntlet you should buy something else than Trinity Force!(!)


NOTE THAT THE TRINITY FORCE IS ONLY VIABLE IF YOU DO NOT BUY THE ICEBORN GAUNTLET!!
I usually chose Trinity Force OR Frozen + Gauntlet, never Tri + Frozen (but it works).


____________
Situational items









Controversial items
(you want to concider multiple factors before buying):




Basic route:
Wolves - Blue - Wraiths - Wolves - Red - Gank
After that it's up to you.
____________
Items:


You want to rush





Upgraded boots (


If everything goes well and you succeed to gank a lot you an go for one ore two Doran's Blades, but it's optional. Doran's only scales well in early game, already in mid-late they are pretty useless so make the best of them if you decide to buy them.
If you are feeling gank-happy then buy Boots of Mobility, mobility-boots gives you the roaming-speed that you need to gank every lane very fast and makes counter-jungling even easier.
[DISCLAIMER] Don't buy Boots of Mobility Unless you really know what you are doing!
