Here is why jax is good 1. Survivability: In most jax builds you will get atma's impaler, which gives you Armor, on top of that his ult gives mres when he uses it, and he gains hp based on his AD and AP. With a full build he shou8ld have an added 900-1000 hp easily. 2. Damage: His burst alone, even without trinity force's sheen proc is a little over 1000, and hard to counter seeing as how it does both magic and attack damage, and even better, since his innate goes so well with hybrid builds, once he gets atma's he has a little over 310 AD, and 210 ap, assuming you go for an item besides trinity force as your last item. 3. Escapability: Not only is leapstrike a low cool down attack that does amazing damage, but it's a nice get away in tough situations. Even I, after only a few games playing jax, realized how good it is to utilize it when running away from the enemy team, and It works very well. 4. Ganking Potential: Assuming you've gotten rylai's your ganking potential will be amazing, leap strike in for a hard slow (It's also nice to have empower activated) then your R's passive and your gradually increasing attack speed (assuming you have rylai's) should finish any enemy off who is fooliish enough to think that jax can actaully lose a 1v1 when surrounded by minions. In the case of a second person coming, remember, this is a gank so there's most likely a teammate near by who can come up and help you finish that one off as well. 5. Background: This doesn't really add to his in-game play, but it helps add to the experience, when using jax you are, by all definitions, except for your own actual ability in the game, unbeatable. Forced to use a lamp post (his most recent skin has a real weapon, so nobody using jax should lose now, just to uphold his good name) because of his destructive potential. The request was retracted but he still uses a lamp post because he knows he doesn't need to use a real weapon to destroy the enemy team. A good jax player will go into a game with the same mentality as jax does in his lore. He will break face, take names, and turrets, and inhibitors, and the nexus. (And steal baron after getting a pentakill).
