My favourite champ toio and had to stop to pick him in ranked.

Mainly, IMO, 2 things hurted him! 1- Ad carry nerf: yes it affects Jax IMO because the nerf on AD-C has as consequence that solo-top health packing champs be the norm. Before, they would have been crushed if they packed 1 off item + def items only. That's not the case anymore. And that's not Jax style. Jax builds offense which turns out into defense. it's less effective S3. 2-Games are shorter: Jax shines late game. I think less than 1 game out of 10 ends with 2 level 18 teams. 3-his typical counters went from crappy characters to good picks. Those Garen or Renektons... Health meta + no real late game=good picks. "Oh my, you picked Jax, I'll pick Garen nicceeeee". 4-Health cost decresed: Jax is a lower base, higher scale type of champ. You'd be useless with a Cleaver+sunfire+warmog kind of build. Hence, in S3, you'll be the primary target. Tough to handle.
