Get your shit straight, old Jax was un-fucking-beatable late-game simply because of the scaling he had. You could be playing a Hybrid AP build with Tabi->Gunblade->Guinsoo->Dcap->LichBane->GA/WotA/QSS and roll over your keyboard smashing anything if you had 6 items. Literally huge ratios, spammable spells, an aoe stun every ~4 seconds (assuming no/little cdr), a friggin' HUGE steroid (140% IAS, 210+0.7 AP per 3rd hit) when you could actually build him AP and not die in 0.5 seconds due to the insane passive giving you up to 2.5k hp via AP/AD. Also 5xGunblades was so fucking retardedly op on Jax before the spellvamp was made unique. 125% SV and 100% LS with huge amounts of AD and AP which translated to tons of HP, he could literally 1v5 and you couldn't do shit unless you had 10+ seconds of cc.

New Jax is very good, more fitting even, A LOT less scaling, because you can't build full damage and still be tanky as hell. Gunblade got nerfed a fuckton. Trinity is now a bit better on him than before. You still need hp/resists even with the defensive ult cause after AP/AD carries acquire some farm you do get blown when your dodge/ult is down. Also nowhere near close to the damage old Jax did lategame, a tad bit more early and mid-game with less dodges aka less 1v1 king.

He wasn't all that much buffed, he only got normalised, as in from total shit early, adequate mid, 1v5 autowin late, he went to a normal risky top laner early, very rewarding if farmed mid, quite tanky bruiser with a bit of burst late.
