I think Rageblade is overrated for Jax. Ability power doesn't contribute much to his overall damage compared to Attack damage - ignoring Leap/Empower, 1 AP contributes only 0.23 to his autoattack damage. WIth the passive 45 AP from RB, your Leap + Empower might do 50 extra damage before magic resist. I'd get Gunblade and go straight into some tank items and maybe an Atmas later on. I feel that the passive on this is somewhat wasted because the stacking AP doesn't contribute much to your overall damage (and doesn't affect his durability through his passive because it's a temporary increase to his health) and the extra attack speed doesn't that scale because his ultimate already gives him an incredible amount such that an additional 32% on top of 140% is barely noticable. Just my point of view, I'd appreciate it if someone could convince me otherwise. I believe Jax's skillset naturally gives him a very powerful DPS kit that could be augmented with some early tankiness so that he can stay alive long enough to stack up his ultimate through a teamfight and grind down the enemy team rather than rush in as the glass cannon and kamikaze their carry.
