So let's go over everything we know about the upcoming Jax mid-scope update, but let's be real it isn't much for now.

Jax Mid-Scope Update Revealed by Riot

Riot have revealed two of the champions that will be getting mid-scope updates in the coming months. Rell was one of the two champions named and the other was Jax. Now, this one was a bit of a head scratcher, since he's got a decent kit and has been playable in every meta basically and was even a great counter at the 2022 LoL World Championship.

But. Riot is going to be making a few changes to Jax in the coming months, probably after the Neeko MSU has been released and revealed. But, what is Riot looking to update on Jax' kit?
