I wish origins have more flavors in them like they did for bard and jhin

[Shiraori]

Well the fish weapon will for sure become a meme

“Imagine if I had a real origin” - Jax

[ShiningArc]

Origin: run me with the cards I was released with instead of having creative options

[stpps]

I do kinda miss his old lore, he just fit so well into the tournament that was old league lore

[invernofuyu]

The problem to me is that Jax is the "one man army" not the "one man + army", his lvlup is much aggro to me, i wanted him to be the strongest, but anyway, the art is rly cool

[aatroxtheworldender]

Art of Jax was amazing. Dont dissapoint me with Aatrox.

"We really wanted to adapt his weapon"
1 mana quick attack

[solitudesf]

can you explain to the folks at home why is his origin is another (half)deck prebuild?

[richardsmith]

I thought you guys did really well, I think you've made something very strong

[quizzlybear]

I just wish the runeterran champs origin were more creative than just a few cards they come with.

[Goldfisher]

So it’s nice to know the thought process behind making Jax an equipment champion because i thought it was antithetical to Jax’s identity. Like the whole point (before the reworked lore that made it related to ictathia) of the lamp post was that Jax used it because if he used a real weapon fights would be to easy. The fact that it was a lamppost didn’t matter, just that it wasn’t something specifically designed to be a weapon which is why putting Jax’s power into his equipment just felt wrong.

[leaguesoflegends]

I'm still baffled how insanely underwhelming his lvl 2 is, like honestly he's just a follower

[idrawfurries]

This feels like leblanc all over again, except with more restrictive and pre-planned deck building due to his origin. Other than "Jax holds a weapon", what about this design is at all related to Jax? I guess quick attack makes a lot of sense. But like... No counter strike?

Even in the context of the support cards, you could've done so much more with his level 2, other than getting a small 1 time stat boost. This is extremely disappointing.

[StefanLopuszanski]

Jax feels so weird focused on OTHER people's equipment though. And such a low cost and non-win condition level up for someone who can 1v9 in LoL and based on his lore of never having lost.

[youtubeman]

YOU GUYS GONNA TELL US ABOUT FORGE ANY TIME SOON

[firebrand]

So devs, we appreciate your work, but the idea of leveling up is that a champion becomes their strongest self and a wincon.
Does jax' level up feel like a win con to you? I'm genuinely curious. Would love to hear from you because it seems like me and other players don't get it.

[bridickx]

i like he's voice and attitude. that's all i have to say :)

[BLSXful]

I am excited for the equipment, but I am sad about runeterra champions as the champions can only be played one way, the followers can at least go in other decks

[gabbifufuu]

I hope he'll get reworked in league and he can use many types of weapons like aphelios but sillier
