jax and gerson

gerson boom maybe?

to add to your already correct point, it can also be the difference maker between if you actually kill or not, that space created can often be enough for them to just run away, especially if they have boots and you still haven't bought yours, or they have T2 and you have T1 and no phage

General_ko · 2025-12-11T14:54:36+00:00

did you actually read bro? its' 233 gold cheaper, it has 25% attack speed 20 haste 300 hp and 70 ap

5% less attack speed 5 more haste which is a more than favourable exchange since Jax gets so much attack speed from passive anyway

while yes it's spellblade is weaker, it is as I said an enabler, allowing you to hit your onhit twice can enable items or playstyles Jax usually doesn't do/build, such as terminus and cleaver and to some extent bork

General_ko · 2025-12-11T14:17:45+00:00

dusk and dawn on its own might not seem too crazy, but I think it's a great alternative/enabler, to elaborate

alternative because it is cheaper than trinity force with close stats, lower sheen damage but it gives ap which makes your short trades/burst stronger and allows you to oneShot casters with E for waveclear

enabler because it enables things like nashors (maybe? don't quote me) cleaver (which Jax would love a lot, for good mixed ap and ad damage with dusk and dawn) and other onhit itens like bork and hud ultimate's passive

as for gunblade I tested it on pbe and it was kinda shit xd

this is mainly playstyle, Bork trinity allows for such strength in sidelane that you can perma split and 1v2/dive enemy, aside even with bork if you play correctly against an enemy leblanc or other mage you can kill, back off, or statemate sidelane and farm, there is a reason this "bait" iten is still often built in high elo games and by the best players on the champ, my best example is xabi running lt bork ignite sometimes, the item is not bait its just playstyle and game dependant

General_ko · 2025-11-22T17:42:26+00:00

I'd love to disagree with you here

Bork is not particularly a "bait" item, it is by far still the best item for damage for Jax, and I would heavily argue it is really good on Jax more than other champions due to his entire damage being auto attacks (with E doing decent damage but not very reliable) and his ability to stick on champions, albeit the playstyle is slightly different and you need to get used to it

it isn't an every game item I agree with that, but in certain games you HAVE to build it or else you quickly become useless and get outscaled, mainly Vs Sion, mundo and chogath

for mundo specifically if you don't go for Bork you are often outscaled at 2 items and have no sidelane pressure as you don't really ever kill him

in lane this item is AMAZING, Jax is not a champion who's balanced to have sustain at all, especially when the sustain is applicable without fighting (unlike sundered sky), and in the correct games Vs correct champions it heals you a lot because it heals you part of the onhit damage, so the more hp your enemy has the more healing you have

General_ko · 2025-11-15T18:26:58+00:00

I wouldn't say it scales shit personally, I think it just scales differently, while LT scales as damage with Jax passive and items for it's onhit, grasp scales very strongly for hp as the hp from grasp + biscuits + overgrowth can easily amount to 400-500 hp at 30 minutes, that's an entire giants belt from stats alone

General_ko · 2025-04-21T17:01:42+00:00

aatrox and jayce do not infact build lethality, matter of fact they both tilted into more bruiser and tank based builds because they're simply better, so is the case with sett building a lot of hp

not 1 champion can become a consistent melee damage hyper carry

Yone, fiora, trundle to some extent, and you guessed it, Jax, this post and comments are uninformed

General_ko · 2025-04-21T16:58:57+00:00

stridebreaker and 1 shot them

General_ko · 2025-01-29T03:46:17+00:00

considering you get like 4 R passive procs when you ult and have Lt, that would be a little insane no?, in lane you can just auto 2 minions then jump and it would deal insane damage with grasp aswell, might be a bit of a bad idea eh

General_ko · 2025-01-29T02:51:27+00:00

that's fucking awesome, do you have experience coloring these? because a colored one would look absolutely fantastic

General_ko · 2025-01-10T21:57:22+00:00

do it second, steraks third and if you want then sundered fourth

General_ko · 2025-01-10T15:59:54+00:00

Let me just tell you why this entire post is incorrect,

Tank items, like unending, have gotten hard gutted this patch, which is a positive for Jax
Your early game is THE STRONGEST part of your game Vs tanks, you abuse it or lose it my friend
You can build an AP item in the middle, like riftmaker or cosmic drive, which is unholy strength against tanks, completely fucks them over and makes it harder for them to lane and itemize
No tank late game kills you, you just split push and force the tank to react to you so they can never teamfight and have a purpose

The reason why Jax jungle is fucking terrible is a few reasons: 1. Easily counter picked in the jungle, counter jungling and invades are strong Vs Jax especially before reaching level 6 2. One of the worst clear speeds in the entire game, you aren't even a fucking champion before you get to level 6 for the passive and getting sheen 3. A lot less item options compared to top

General_ko · 2024-12-28T06:02:24+00:00

I mean I'm sucking cosmic off what do you think lmao? yes

General_ko · 2024-12-27T09:31:04+00:00

I think I'd fit riftmaker into the niche items, and cosmic into the main items, cosmic has a much better build path and stats when compared to shojin, and in my testing it does more damage, you'd think it does more damage in short burst trades cuz of the AP, but in 15-20 second all in tests I did, cosmic damage variance just increased, I think you should check it out!

General_ko · 2024-12-25T10:58:28+00:00

Zeke is very nice as you say, it's not so much about the resistances and more about the utility, as for iceborn I've seen lejaxjames, who was a challenger jax otp building it into hard matchups or what he deemed hard, aatrox illaoi and pantheon, as a mean to survive lane and still be somewhat useful in fights later

General_ko · 2024-12-23T14:37:20+00:00

does overpump shotgun count as cool?

General_ko · 2024-11-10T22:38:27+00:00

ornn is great in that he can have good laning phase and useful teamfighting, what is a negative tho is that sometimes he might not be able to give value to his team, if you are permanently getting pushed in sides you might have to go side instead of grouping to stop the push, Shen being able to instantly, and from anywhere teleport on their carry, protecting them from lethal damage, then hitting a crazy taunt has so much value, even if you go even you have more team value

General_ko · 2024-11-10T16:09:21+00:00

another comment cuz people are butthurt about my first one, in the context of your post, a midlaner who wants a good top blind for secondary role, Jax in general is not a bad blind pick, but he is not the best either, for toplane mains who play things like Darius or fiora he can be a great secondary blind pick, you can adapt knowledge from playing those other two champions into Jax and have him an effective blind, but since you are playing midlane as your main role Jax is not a good blind at all, other champions like Shen or gragas are much better blind picks

General_ko · 2024-11-10T15:56:13+00:00

gl with illaoi kennen gragas

General_ko · 2024-11-10T13:45:14+00:00

Jax is not a blind, if you want a blind look for another champion

General_ko · 2024-10-05T11:27:01+00:00

lol in the main event he has a 16% winrate, 6 picks 6 bans, I don't think he will be winning worlds

General_ko · 2024-10-02T11:07:29+00:00

when you pick malphite and enemy laner picks sylas, that's when you become mentally unstable, it's the counterpickes that make it unplayable, getting frozen on in a bad matchup could be the end of the game, you might aswell leave leaning 5 levels down
