Farming
5.6Gragas
5.5Jax

Damage
824Gragas
777Jax
Gragas deals 47 more champion damage per minute than Jax. While noticeable in extended trades, this gap can be offset by Jax choosing favorable fight windows, such as engaging when Gragas's key abilities are on cooldown or trading immediately after dodging a skillshot.
Economy
12,274Gragas
12,249Jax

Utility
1.7Gragas
0.7Jax
Gragas brings significantly more crowd control than Jax, with 1.0 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Gragas far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Jax should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
1,573Gragas
1,360Jax
Gragas vastly out-sustains Jax, healing and mitigating 213 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Gragas can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Jax is forced to recall.
