Tips Against Jax in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

xumi_k says “Oh no worst Irelia counterpick gg wp ff15, no. You have all the tools to defeat Jax. There are two ways - farm under tower like a good boy and not die to him 10 times in 5 minutes. Second - get prio and play like a psycho with no self-preservation instinct. I swear, most Jaxes won't expect such boldness. Lvl up Q first. Clear his first wave and first minion of 2nd wave as if your life depends on it. If you maintain it over him and push him to the tower hardly he can do anything. if you reach level two first, if you weave AA onto him between hitting minions - you beat him. You sit under tower if they zone you - then yes, you sit in a sweet spot, waiting for a gank and farm patiently. But if you have a possibility to take prio - take it. As long as you dodge his E early - you win. I'm not saying it's an easy matchup - but if you stay patient and calm - you win if estimate the situation correct. He's a better duelist, but it's hard for him to 1v2 you and your jungler. After 6 he wins 1v1 if has R.”

forsakn says “ Levels 1–5: Jax’s early trades with Q (Leap Strike) + E (Counter Strike) can be dangerous if you overcommit. Short trades are safest, and don’t fight when his E is up. Wave control: He pushes moderately with autos and Q. Let him shove while you farm safely under tower. Trading: Auto + E poke works well. If he tries to all-in, use Q + W to poke and create distance. Post-6: His R (Grandmaster’s Might) gives him tankiness and burst. Maintain spacing and avoid extended fights until you have items. Summoner Spells: Flash + Teleport is standard. Exhaust is recommended against his all-ins. Scaling: You outscale Jax mid-late game. Survive early, farm safely, and your sustained damage overtakes him later. Jax top is strong early with dueling potential. Respect his E, use Q + W to disengage if needed, and by midgame you outclass him.”
Hoikatop says “Don't use your fling until after he uses Q, otherwise he will insta-Q back onto you for his E stun. You win long trades before he gets Sheen. After sheen he wins long trades. You can all-in him at 6 if he is close to your turret. He hard outscales you in the sidelane so your job is just to stop his splitpush and look for good 5v5 fights. I rush Liandry's but you can go Rylais if enemy team has a lot of divers.”

Volkeran says “This is a hard matchup since he can prevent vital procs with his E and he can also jump on you if you disengage. He can randomly activate his stun so it is RNG if you parry it or not. After like 1 Second use your W, then you will 100% parry the stun if you are unsure, use Q to disengage when he activates his dodge, if he jumps on you then just W and hope for the RNG. If you have a hard one against Jax in general I advice to rush hexdrinker first item cause his dmg is mostly magic based. I also Advise Conqueror + DBlade start.”

Auxarcmod says “Not a bad lane for Sion, you beat him early and mid game. Use w for his burst.”

TTVTobuwuyas says “Skill matchup. W on his E so he takes the damage 100% of the times. Try to trade E + QQ and run. In all in, secure W with E, he can jump away”
Geish123 says “start e lvl 1. walk towards minions. if he use E, you use E and walk out> walk back into hittingg minions to guarantee prio & poke with E>Q -you can E+Q from fast trades before he Es you - you can ult him while he is jumping away midair”

Judgementlol says “Jax in toplane is hard to gank for the most part. You need a strong laner that actually stomps him. His E blocks your Q. His sidelaning is generally hard to impact. He is going to pretty consistently gap your toplaner and do more in 2v2s Thats it ”

Timerin says “One of the strongest Fighters against this build, if his [icon=counter strike size=20] isn't up, that's where you can shine, but as long as he still holds it at the back, ready to use on you, he will still be dangerous, unlike [[Cassiopeia]], you don't need to avoid him if a setup isn't possible, as at least in the early game, as long as you have your [icon=shadow dash size=20] up, you can annoy him after he used his jump, and be able to still retreat, playing the cat and mouse game with him. In the late game, as long as his [icon=counter strike size=20] isn't up, and you aren't behind on Items against him, you should be winning a 1v1.”

AnalniyDarkin says “Easy matchup. Dodge his counterstrike stun. You outduel him since you deal ability damage (not AA-reliant).”
