You evidently don't understand jax's role. Jax being one of my favourite TOPLANERS, I know how to play him. The people above, who are probably better at jax than me as im a support main, know what they are talking about.

You talk as if tryndamere and jax are the same champion. This is totally untrue. They have very different attributes, and bring different things to a team. Firstly, Tryndamere has far less need to build tank items, because he has an invulnerability ultimate.

Here's something to change your outlook. You say jax wastes his potential if he goes tank right? Well, consider that Jax's Ultimate gives him better resistances than nearly anything else in the game? You're wasting his tanky potential by not building defensive items on him.

You also say that you can survive with only spell vamp. Imagine this scenario:

Malph ults you. their entire team jumps on you from miles away. The CC finally wears off and you are ulted by vi. You die, ahving done zero damage.

If you built a GA and maybe some other defence, you would survive the encounter and blown all of your opponents abilities, so your team, who has champions who have built full damage because they are carry champions, can successfully counterengage. Teamfight won. Baron and Inhibs secured. Game Won.

I have no problem with High damage jax, as long as you are doing well. You should always be taking at least 2 defensive items however, unless you are like 20/0.
