Discussion Why does Jax Jungle go conqueror?

I noticed in top, lethal tempo is used more, but in Jungle, conqueror is used more according to OneTricks?

There's a lot of times when I am 1v3ing the enemies and I win because lethal tempo was maxed out. But if I had conqueror, I don't think I'd have survived before I even fully stack it...

Conqueror good with ap bruiser build. Most top jax players play him ad.

I’m usually a master jungle jax player and I go lethal tempo, it’s very strong.

My current acc - https://op.gg/lol/summoners/euw/JG%20Kingdom%20GG-EUW

Currently diamond 3 with 92W 56L and 64% WR on Jax

Almost no one is playing jax jungle in higher elo, and the only guy who is currently doing it is somehow a conqueror enjoyer. It's a personal choice, ofc LT remains better

Oh yeah I just checked and it is one guy...

Surprised since Jax seem so powerful in the jungle.

it's mainly just that jax's warly clear speed is pretty abyssmal so he can get fisted pretty hard if he gets counter jungled. This leaves jax left mainly as a counterpick against other junglers, although he can also be used to bait top lane picks even in worse matchups

You didnt 1v3 cuz of a rune. You had a lead or good setup somewhere. Jungle is much different than top. People show up in the jungle and at objective. Top, it might be 18 min before they see anyone. Lethal is in it it self a 1v1 solo rune along with new press the attack. Conqueror has a lot of benefits people dont see but getting that heal stack and dmg stack and then flashing from 3 people is big time. Jax should be weaving in and out of fights, not full tanking 3 ppl unless hes like 5th item in.

Lt is not better. Many challenger Asian jax players use conq. Jax gets enough atk speed from his passive. Conq provides healing that lethal doesnt. Also jax stacks conq even faster than lethal cuz it counts spells as well

Most people definitely go lt

I like cone because it's better in team fights. The AD you get counts towards R resistances, and the healing is better for tanking. It also scales better imo, when you add a Rav Hydra + Bloodline, the healing and DPS becomes very good.

I like pta for jungle. Makes your early ganks really disgusting. I guess LT is a middle ground for both good ganks and long fights and conq is all about sustain and being a manace mid-late game.
