I was saying for a long time how Jax shits on Riven past level 6 but people were like "NO WAI MANG RIVEN CRAPS ON JAX CAUSE SHE'S OP" and the recent surge of Jax on top lane is just confirming my stance.

Past a certain point in lane the trades just start to become harder and harder for Riven who's just naturally more fragile than Jax. Just look at their base health and armor stats and how they scale each level. Eventually Jax just jumps on her and starts smacking her with Empower and ulti stacks without even caring about trades. At that point he knows he can just straight up 1v1 her.

Combine that with his retarded ulti active and a chain vest and Riven can no longer touch him without ganks.

I've seen this matchup several times already in pro matches and it's followed a very similar trend to what I've described.
