He should have been nerfed a long time ago. The problem with most people that say he is OP and must be nerfed, is that these people usually aren't experienced enough or don't explain why.

On my opinion these are the reasons why Jax is OP and should be nerfed: (yes I know he already has been nerfed)

1) High base tankyness for a champion that is not a tank. He actually has the third highest base HP of all champions, only losing to Alistar and Sion in that regard. Not to mention the free armor and magic resist he gets from his ult.

2) High base damage on his spells and passive effects, the passive of his ult actually has the highest base damage of all them. The high base damage means that Jax only has to build two offensive items (BotRK and TriForce) to do insane amounts of damage to almost every champion. The rest of his items can be tanky items, he can build another extra offensive item if needed to (for example, Last Whisper, to beat full tanks) but he doesn't usually need that, again, because of his huge base damage

3) The fact that he does both magic and physical damage means that it's very hard to itemise against Jax. For the most part you should build armor, but he still does a lot of magic damage that you won't mitigate if you don't have magic resistance. HP could be then the solution, but there is a problem: one of Jax' items, Blade of the Ruined King, does damage based on enemy's HP, so there is nothing in terms of defense you can do to mitigate Jax' damage, except attack speed reduction items..

4) He has a spell that completely negate the damage of auto-attacks, and stun! There are lots of bruisers that do a lot of damage, but they either don't have hard CC, or their hard CC is their ultimate. Even those that have hard CC don't have the same combination of traits that Jax has.

5) He has a reliable escape method in Q. This can even be used to jump wards, even though people don't use on Jax the same trick they use on Lee Sin.
