Question - Jax SPECULATION: Jax next on nerf list?

Saviorself · Jun 30, 2015

I love Jax and his many tools. But in this game, the good don't stay good for long. Arguably a top 5 character that has amazing frame data and even better damage.

Do you guys fear that he will be hit in the next patch? Or is he already normalized?

I personally think they will "correct his damage scaling" and ruin some of his excellent frame data.

Yeahh maybe

M.D. · Jun 30, 2015

Jax doesn't raise a shitstorm as much as the other characters, so it's hard to say.

The Slaj Jazz · Jun 30, 2015

Probably a damage nerf, I think hes kinda fair overall

jozuvloke · Jun 30, 2015

Lol! I've been thinking of a pocket Jax! I was also thinking of a pocket hell fire about two weeks ago too.... I'll put the work in again and get the finger.

NoobHunter420 · Jun 30, 2015

he is good, but doesn't seem OP which is what NRS nerfs.
has any1 made top 8 with him at a major?

EMPEROR_JUPITER · Jun 30, 2015

Jax is fine. People aren't exploiting his gaps yet. Female characters don't care about his 11 or f21 pressure. Maybe make his b2 cancel on block so he doesn't have a totally safe overhead. But that needs an overall re design since a lot of characters have OS 50/50s

RM_NINfan101 · Jun 30, 2015

I don't think Jax needs a nerf at all in my opinion, he's fine as he is. As long as you're able to get out of his pressure, which you totally can, there really isn't a need, or really a desire to nerf Jax.

Jax is fair. What would they nerf?. One thing I would nerf is that cigar. It's giving my character 2nd hand smoke every time i fight jax.

:DOGE

D_Matt_Ma · Jun 30, 2015

He hits like a tank, but most of the top characters aren't winning because they hit hard. It's other stuff that he doesn't have.

Linkuei82 · Jun 30, 2015

If they nerf him I think it would hurt him. I think he is fine.

ehh idk. i feel like he's good but balanced. top tier but not broken. he's one of the few pressure characters with no true block strings and he has no midscreen combos without meter. i also don't see a lot of people complaining about him so i do hope they don't touch him at all

Nerf him into the ground, or better yet, remove him from the game.

Such a lame character.

Tyrant made top 8 and won a few events with him but he was doing it with the mid tier jax in MK 9.

FlappyDaniel · Jun 30, 2015

The good don't stay good for long? Man fuck that. The good have been getting slightly worse and people just drop the character instead of adapting. No character has been nerfed into unviability from a top spot yet....

EntropicByDesign · Jun 30, 2015

Jax is also obnoxiously difficult to play, which accounts for not seeing him that often, which accounts for no screams for nerfs

Wigy · Jun 30, 2015

If he gets f1 fixed, with a minor damage nerf, (he really shouldn't be hitting meterless mid 40's in the corner LBSH no character should)

I think he'd be fair but hes nowhere near the top of the list of nerf/buffs if he got touched and the other characters didn't that would be entirely unfair.

With high execution liu kang flame fists has around 60% bnb's in the corner (METERLESS)
Tanya has at least a few 7-3 matchups.

Certain characters i think will get marginal buffs as well. I see F/T getting one, and maybe JC, he got a nerf which was unnecessary and ruined a variation, and his other variations have horrendous matchups vs certain characters.

Nerf is such a bad word: here we prefer to talk about "normalizations".

Lovely insight right there

I don't see anything that would even warrant a nerf on Jax, I feel like sonya might be the next one to get hit though.

Death · Jun 30, 2015

He is one of the more fair top tier characters. What would you even nerf? If anything they need to adjust his F2 to hit mid more consistently....
