He is far from naturally squishy, since his effective health is extremely high.

He also has scaling armor and magic resist and a huge resistance boost from his ult, both of which increase his effective health.

Plus, a large majority of Jax players get Hextech Gunblade. Lifesteal (because of his high atkspd) and Spellvamp (because of his high damage low cd single target spells) scale really well with him. Even though he might go into a teamfight with only 2300 health, if the teamfight drags out for a while, the enemy team could have to "actually" do 5000 damage in order to get through his spell vamp and life steal.

Also, if his Counterstrike increases his effective health infinitely against autoattacks, and about 33% against AOE spells. The stun prevents people from either chasing him or counterattacking. His Q is great for repositioning.

Finally, he hits like a truck. Focusing him is difficult when one of your carries is dead.
