@Avicou    The reason being is that Jax can scale so much harder off of other items. I would sooner get a Hextech Gunblade, over ROA, but really its because you have to wait centuries for ROA to be effective. A game can be lost in less than 10 minutes. Jax needs sustain, not really tank. You cannot 1v1 a Jax, ever. Even if your higher level or with a few more items, a good Jax will just shut you down by dodging ADC attacks and go right in for you, or just by leap striking you from a bush with empowered and counter strike proc'd. If your trying to just build AP, buy Lich Bane, you get mana, you get the same AP, and you move quicker to stay on them. Match that up with a Frozen Mallet, and you'll have all the tank and Mana needs, and have more damage. Jax can use BORK, but people don't use tanks at all anymore, using BORK against squishies doesn't do well. The best build i've made, and I am gold elo btw, is Hextech, Bloodthirster, Maw of Malmortious, Tri Force, GRB, and Ninja Tabi. Or replace the GRB with the Devourer enchanted JG item for junglers. You really can't fail hard with Jax. He's too easy of a killer to be bad with.
