User blog comment:Fistful of Force/Jax: Merely meh vs Trynd?/@comment-5523473-20130203082733

The issue I see with Trynd (outside of laning phase and matchups with Jax, just in general) is this: the only real way to build him is glass cannon. Anything else is suboptimal. A 5 second ult which makes you immune to dying pretty much renders all defense nearly useless - yet Trynd will still get destroyed by competent enemy teams.

People have said similar things about many champs with dashes countering Jax's CS, but it just doesn't seem to work well in practice. I play Jax quite a lot, and I've realized that a very easy way to get buttfucked is by initiating trades with leapstrike. People will just walk out of your counterstrike and then unload everything on you (like you mentioned earlier).

However, what's to stop Jax from just sitting in the minion wave and last hitting? When you come in to build fury, get XP and get gold, he can just walk up to you and hit you twice with W. If you back away he's won the trade. If you fight, he CSes, you spin away, and he leaps on you, and wins the trade. And poof, there goes your heal too.

I figure it's more the Jaxes that aren't overly aggressive that are scarier than the ones that are.
