Jax, the Grandmaster at Arms, is a formidable champion in the world of League of Legends. Known for his exceptional skill with a lamppost, Jax has become a fan-favorite due to his unique playstyle and versatile abilities. One of the many skins available for Jax is 'Angler Jax,' which adds a touch of fishing flair to this already iconic champion.
Released on June 1, 2010, Angler Jax quickly became a popular choice among players who wanted to showcase their love for fishing while dominating the Rift. This skin transforms Jax into an angler, complete with a fishing hat, a fishing rod that replaces his lamppost, and a fishing net strapped to his back. The attention to detail in this skin is remarkable, with even the particles and animations reflecting the fishing theme.
Angler Jax's abilities receive a thematic makeover as well. His Q ability, Leap Strike, has Jax leaping towards his target with a fishing rod in hand, while his W ability, Empower, unleashes a burst of water from his rod. The fishing theme continues with his E ability, Counter Strike, as Jax spins his fishing rod to block incoming attacks, creating a whirlpool effect. Finally, his ultimate ability, Grandmaster's Might, enhances his fishing rod, making it glow with a vibrant blue color.
While Angler Jax may not provide any gameplay advantages, it offers a unique and visually appealing experience for players who enjoy playing Jax. The skin's fishing theme adds a touch of lightheartedness to the champion, making him even more enjoyable to play.
The Story of Jax
Jax, the Grandmaster at Arms, is a mysterious and powerful warrior who hails from Icathia, a long-lost city consumed by the Void. He is known for his unmatched skill in combat and his mastery of various weapons, but it is his proficiency with a lamppost that truly sets him apart.
Little is known about Jax's past, as he prefers to keep his origins shrouded in mystery. Some speculate that he was once a soldier in Icathia, while others believe he may have been a guardian of the city. Regardless of his past, Jax now wanders the world, seeking worthy opponents to test his skills against.
In the game, Jax is classified as a melee fighter and excels in duels and skirmishes. His passive ability, Relentless Assault, allows him to stack up his attack speed with each consecutive basic attack, making him a fearsome threat in extended engagements. Jax's Q ability, Leap Strike, allows him to close the gap between him and his enemies, dealing damage and resetting his auto-attack timer. His W ability, Empower, empowers his next basic attack, dealing bonus damage and applying on-hit effects.
Jax's E ability, Counter Strike, is a defensive maneuver that allows him to dodge all incoming basic attacks for a short duration. After the duration ends, Jax deals damage to nearby enemies and stuns them. This ability is crucial in team fights, as it can disrupt the enemy team's damage output and provide Jax with an opportunity to engage or disengage.
Finally, Jax's ultimate ability, Grandmaster's Might, empowers his next basic attack, dealing bonus magic damage based on his ability power and maximum health. Additionally, Jax gains bonus armor and magic resist for a short duration, making him even more durable in fights.
Jax's unique playstyle and versatile abilities have made him a popular pick in both casual and competitive play. His ability to scale well into the late game and his dueling potential make him a formidable force to be reckoned with. Whether players choose to play him in the top lane or the jungle, Jax's presence on the Rift is always felt.

Lore:
Unmatched in both his skill with unique armaments and his biting sarcasm, Jax is the last known weapons master of Icathia. After his homeland was laid low by its own hubris in unleashing the Void, Jax and his kind vowed to protect what little remained. As magic now rises in the world, this slumbering threat stirs once more, and Jax roams Valoran, wielding the last light of Icathia and testing all warriors he meets to see if any are strong enough to stand beside him...
Ally tips:
Jax can Leap Strike to friendly units, including wards. You can use them to plan your escape. Jax benefits greatly from items that have both Ability Power and Attack Damage such as Guinsoo's Rageblade and Hextech Gunblade.
Enemy tips:
Try to engage him in short bursts instead of going toe-to-toe with him. Preventing him from attacking consecutively drastically lowers his damage output.Jax can dodge all incoming attacks for a very short amount of time and stuns enemies in melee range when it ends. Wait to strike him until after his dodge is finished.
