One particularly UNWINNABLE MU
Last time i checked Jax lost all of his usable armor except Ex gotcha in Pumped Up.
You make me dizzy...
I don't wanna come off as "that guy," I really don't...it's just that Jax has never seemed like a particularly weak character to me, even taking the armor off the table, but he's legit one of only three people out of the whole roster I don't have at least a pocket variation of, so at the end of the day I know that I don't know him from a ham sandwich.
That being said, to have one "shit, looks like I'm gonna need a counterpick" matchup out of a hundred, especially against a character that's an much of an across the board pain in the ass as Grandmaster...doesn't seem like a great reason for players to be abandoning ship and calling the man dead before the patch is even a month old.
tl;dr: it sucks for Jax. immensely. but it's the nature of the beast, especially when armor is being taken off the top of the totem pole across the board.
