Lore

''Be advised - there has been an outbreak of lamppost-shaped bruises in the League of Legends.'' - Gragas

It is seldom the case where a champion is defined by his actions after joining the League of Legends rather than before. Such is the case with Jax, for whom the argument could be made that he is the most prolific tournament fighter currently at the Institute of War. Before joining the League, Jax was an unremarkable soldier-for-hire. For reasons known only to the former leader of the League, High Councilor Reginald Ashram, Jax was put on the top of the list of candidates to receive a League Judgment - the interview process that either accepts or rejects a prospective champion. His Judgment was the quickest in League history, where the Doors of Acceptance glowed and slowly swung open as soon as it began. Jax faced no recorded Observation or Reflection during his Judgment.

Jax proved himself to be an immediate terror in the Fields of Justice. The self-proclaimed ''Armsmaster of the League'' rattled off a streak of consecutive wins that to this day has not been matched. A number of summoners in the League grew concerned that the perceived objectivity of the League of Legends would be questioned by the presence of an unknown fighter who was unbeatable. For this reason, the new leader of the League (following Reginald Ashram's disappearance), High Councilor Heyward Relivash, created special restrictions for Jax to fight under. This was something the League had never done before, and something that has never been done since. The burly fighter responded by imposing his own special conditions; as a means of protest, he permitted himself to fight using only a brass lamppost. Neither the League's sanctions nor his own has affected his winning ways. The League has since rescinded its sanctions, but Jax has not; he fights and fights well with his trusty brass lamppost.

Runes

AD Runes

Mark

Explanation : In Mark im going with AD, that will help you ALOT in early game, also if you're going for AD Runes, ONLY take AD in Mark, then take armor pen or something else in the others, AD in Glyph is 0.20 AD per, that's way to expensive for almost nothing.

Seal

Explanation : Dodge is what makes epic, dodge Runes + will make him own in 1v1.

Glyph

Explanation : It's always good to be able to protect your self against these AP champions, also many teams have a Hybrid champion like or , this is where the comes in handy.

Quintessence

Explanation : Dodges owns. Why? Because needs them, in a 1v1 he might be able to dodge 1/10 attacks, which is epic! These Runes just makes him own even more in a 1v1. Afterwards can even use his to dodge even more, and release a AOE stun, this is also a reason that makes him so deadly in a 1v1 fight.

Hybrid Runes

Mark

Alternative Runes For Both

Hybrid Masteries

22 - 5 - 3

Skill Sequence

Explanation : This is 's Q, it leaps to an enemy or a friendly target. This also deals some damage if it's an enemy you leap till. This skill is a good chase/escape way. If someone is running away from you, just leap to them, if you're trying to escape, just leap to some minions or some friendly champions.

Explanation : This skill is 's W, it grants your basic or skill atk some extra damage. (Depends on your skill level) This is a great skill, just press W for then E for and in the end Q for . What this will do : Leap to the enemy, do some extra damage from the and in the end stun with the E, .

Explanation : This skill is 's E, once its on, dodges every incomming attack. After 2 sec, spins around, stunning every enemy around him, this also works on minions and monsters. This is a great chase skill. Use it, wait alittle and then leap, this will stun the enemy as soon as you've leaped to him, after the stun just nuke him with your basic attacks.

Explanation : This skill is 's ulti, its located at R. This ulti rules! It got a passive, it does 100 damage every third hit. (increased when upgraded) It's active gives armor, from his AD.

Ranked Play

tends to get banned quite a lot in the lower ELO's. If you're lucky to get through, try and last hit as many minions as possible, also kill the Dragon as soon as he spawns. If you're one of the highest lvl in the map, try and gank alittle.
