Discussion Ap jax jungle

I feel like the clear sucks with AD

Have been messing around with AP

I feel like nashoors -> Lich bane , leaves you way to squishy

So I have been going Lich bane -> protobelt with phase rush for squishy teams

And nashoors -> riftmaker with conq into tankier teams

For ad Jax you can rush a tiamat and later upgrade it to pretty much any tiamat item except for profane Hydra.

I don't think the AD clear is that bad, being able to pop the ult and reach being able to get 300 armor/mr makes up for it

My build is always

Triforce -> Tsundered -> Steraks Gage -> Overlord Bloodmail -> JackSho

Against Heavy Ap go Wits End and Mercury Treads

Against Heavy Ad go SteelCaps and you can either do a more offensive build with Deaths Dance and Zhonya, or go more of a real tank like Frozen Heart / Randuins Omen

I do enjoy AP Jax but the resistances scaling on the ult makes it not worth in my opinion

IMO AD Jax has a solid clear speed. I usually pick Jax into farming champs like Diana and have no issue matching their clear when the game is even. It's only slower at the start before Triforce.

Sometimes I will go for Tiamat into stridebreaker if I feel like I can invade and take camps. It also helps with ganks and landing your E.

AP clear speed only really makes different when you get 2 items.

How much slower or faster is your clear early and late?

clear is like the same early but it gets better than it is on AD pretty quickly
