Tips Against Jax in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Areyaserius says “push him away when his e is charging after he dashes cant do nothing else”
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.”
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”
xkukx158 says “long time didnt played against him but as i remember he is pretty easy, just dodge his stun, get steelcaps, antyheal might be good as well, and poke him with q and w, u win every trade with full combo
=passive unknown tbh=”
Dragonyx says “He can both stun you and block your attacks. Watch out for his e. Make sure to not act carelessly as his late game scale outpaces ambessa's”
LostyDerlin says “Stay out of him as much as possible. Snowball and do objectives with teammates. Be ahead or if you're lucky enough be even to win 1v1.”
KomariLoL says “Very hard to win this matchup if the Jax knows how to properly use E.
Try playing around the Jax E cooldown. Something you can do to bait it out is stand near something you can dash to (minions), and react to the Jax jumping on you with your dash and dodging his E stun. Then you can dash back in to get a favorable trade. It is also possible to dash through the Jax while he is mid Q and dodge his E that way, but this method is pretty hard to pull off.”
Azzin says “His kit kinda counters the bear, matchup is playable if he's running grasp but if he goes lethal tempo you'll mostly just get stat-checked no matter what.
Matchup can be played at lower elos but i would still recommend this to be your main ban.”
shrimpfriedrice says “He will Jump and Stun you over and over and you can't do anything about it. More annoying if he has grasp. One of the few times you'll need Phase Rush just so he can't run you down.”
DrGumpington says “Grasp jax is easy, lethal tempo not as much. Trade near tower if lethal tempo. One thing you can do though is, with boots, during his e, you can insta e him to cc him away from you to dodge his e. This is assuming he used his jump to get on top of you though.”
GX Kayn says “A good jax is a pain in the ass.
I prefer to play safe, run conqueror and hope to outperform him in team fights.
To beat in lane, go for PTA, space his e, and when it s down, poke him with w, or q+e.”
EnriqueR says “Take Grasp. If he jumps on you with an empowered auto parry it. If not just Q backwards. Parrying a W auto or his jump is ten times more consistent than tryinmg to parrt his E. Punish him for how long his E CD is. This is a good MU to practice spacing. If you dont use your S key, i recommend getting in the habit of that.”
Loocalol says “Runes: Comet
Early: E start and just hit creeps while using E on him every time you have it
Tips: If you just walk up and E him, he can just jump on you and jump on you with your E down. What you want to do is Q him constantly and try to use your E when you baited him to use his E. How do you do that?; Walk up and W to try and bait his E. Every time he last hits, just Q on his face and gg. Make sure you have a ward in river so you can poke him under tower while he farms”
Pom2pain says “Poke with Q range , when he have counterstrike DON'T W , go away with E then re-engage with E2 , bully him while he don't have counterstrike”
liucan says “WORST STATCHEKCER OF TOP: any good jax will destroy u, he counters most of tops, because they rely on AA like u. If he E+Q u use E then trade after, the more the game advaces the worst this match is, since his CDS are pretty low late, he can tank a lot and deal tons of dps. Go ext + ign u will need to match his splitpush and also to win early, cover ur team from him in tfs and try to end the game the faster as possible.”
Maniaxx says “Jax’s E (Counter Strike) can dodge your abilities and deal significant damage in extended trades.
His R (Relentless Assault) allows him to scale into an incredibly strong duelist, especially after hitting level 6.
How to deal with him:
Avoid extended trades when he has his E up: Jax can dodge your Q and other abilities with Counter Strike. Wait for it to be used before engaging.
Build early armor: Jax deals a lot of physical damage, so items like Thornmail or Randuin’s Omen will help mitigate his damage.
Focus on scaling: Mundo outscales Jax in tankiness as the game progresses, so focus on surviving early and scaling into the mid/late game.”
a_k_z7 says “e the wave to get out of his e
w his q for and easy trade
if you cant escape his e q at the last moment so he takes both procs of your q
”
Nithril says “Skill Matchup, your E cancels his Q, but his E blocks basically your entire damage, punish him when his E is down and play around cooldowns”
quenzo says “Is a annoying b*tch with his e + q Combo but just try to stay near your turret range and poke him with your e until your jungler comes.
Grasp or Conqueror both are solid, Flash and Teleport but ignite should be viable too”
juangepeto says “Jax is a winnable lane if you play right, but if you play wrong, your game is over. Always place the barrels close to you and don't let him punish you too much with the attacking jump.”
parker3n9 says “The early game can be a bit rough against Jax, but once you hit Level 6, the matchup becomes more manageable. If Jax jumps in, immediately use your ultimate to turn the fight. The key is not to miss your E, as landing it ensures you can keep him locked down; missing it gives him an opportunity to escape and re-engage on his terms, which can result in an all-in and kill for him. Focus on poking him down with Q and Aery, and only all-in once he’s at around half health to maximize your kill potential. If you don't have ult, you have to care.
Recommended Runes: Aery
Summoner Spells: Flash and Teleport”
BigBallsLarry says “Jax can be a huge threat for inexperienced players. His ability to recast his E can lead to unexpected stuns, or he might hold it to make you mistime your parry, then just stat-check you. The key is learning from your mistakes. Every Jax player will try different tactics, and you need to identify their patterns over time. This is a skill matchup, but it's favored for Jax because one mistake can lead to your death. When he Q's onto you as an engage, he will usually auto-w to burst you, so you can parry this instead and save yourself the trouble of parrying his E(because you can just Q away from his E anyway, since he used his Q to engage). Take PTA if you’re confident, or Conqueror if you want to play it safe. The key is to play around his cooldowns. If you’re better than him, you’ll win the matchup. Coup De Grace”
sprdlol says “This match up is really fun to play. Take bone plating. Always have W up when he engages. Your W have same CD as his E so try to utilize this. He might out-scale you if he gets ahead.”
ExtoiK says “Its a skill matchup but i find it very easy to win against him even IF you get stuned by him most of the times if you are building bruiser and he isnt fed you can tank and out dmg him”
Coke Rat says “Flash + TP. Grasp. Bone Plating. Doran's Blade.
Get prio at levels 1-3 and avoid long trades. Avoid E with passive or use W if not possible. Disengage when he uses ultimate.”
Dragonyx says “He can both stun you and block your attacks. Watch out for his e. Make sure to not act carelessly as his late game scale outpaces ambessa's”
Raideru says “This matchup is generally very difficult for Camille especially if it's a good Jax, all u really do in this lane is try to bait his E lvl 1 cose whenever it's down you can actually interact with him in melees trades otherwise u only spam w but care after lvl 3+ if you use w on him he can jump on u and cast e and before u hookshot away he can recast it to cancel u so be sure to be close to walls or precast your e if u think he'll jump on your w. Lvl 6 + u never win all in unless you really outtrade him with big hp advantage. Remember to try ulting his e recast after lvl 6 cose that could make u win the all in. I advise Grasp with sheen rush.”
Basilli says “GRASP RUNES
"Used to be easy before Riot reworked him and left him mega OP. Be careful of his Level 1 trade with E, if he tries it then Q him, walk out, then walk back in. If you space like this you'll win the trade
even level 1. Later on if he E's try and eat him since the time used is irrelevant if you can't auto him. Best bet to fight him is probably post 6. You wont be able to outfight him unless you go Riftmaker but can try and
negate him in teamfights." ”
Spartaniko says “Q poke him to death, if he jumps and E, W and get out of the stun, if he E and then jumps just E his stun. Don't AA after empowered W if he has E up, bait it first. He can't do much to survive your poke and your short trades are far better.”
MrBuis says “(A)(>25) In my opinion, the worst thing you can face as Olaf is not because the matchup is that hard, but he does everything better than you, from split push to all-in to team fight. This is the most popular Olaf counter, so if you want to main him, be prepared to fight this animal. The safest way to deal with him is to go two health shards -> Ammor Boost and max E. Try to freeze the wave and just annoy him. You win the all-in if he's trying to jump on you without a passive stack. Pop W early when trading, Ult, then save E to maintain your ult when he E. If both of you don't have ult, Flash out of his E then use Ghost to run him down. Without E, he's a sitting duck for you to kill. Go for a short trade and heal with your passive. This guy doesn't have waveclear -> healing to match your short trade, so chill out even if the trade seems lost. Max E or 3 Q -> E, go for two health shards -> Ammor Boost -> Hullbreaker -> Death Dance -> Maw -> Jak So because this guy deals mixed damage. ”
Houcs says “Very easy, if he is inside you and presses E you can quickly E him to wall and then walk out of his E.
But should overrall be very free to drag into tower.
Also keep in mind he probally will use his Q to escape if you manage to grab him to tower.”
Wafflerush says “Jax really isn't too bad. Take small trades with him but be cautious of his E. Hooking him while his E is active automatically gives him the win for the trade. Recommend getting Bramble Vest before completing Eclipse.”
Fenharion says “Jax isn't really a problem in laning phase against you since you're able to block his damage with your W,but after he takes a few items it'll be problematic for you,be careful in late game.”
KayleCarry says “HARD Matchup
He can just jump on your wave and kill you without taking damage with his E
BUILD AP
I usually ban it cause he is most picked than Nasus”
UrPersonalGod says “Slightly in Aatrox favor.
Never go for a Q + E to poke because the moment you do so he will jump you and win the trade.
Just poke with Q and if he jumps on you E back and throw out a Q.
Trying to buffer Q3 when he recasts E can be good because he wont be able to stack passive and lethal tempo that way
Trading Flash early can be good if you let him push you in.”
Althalosofsirun says “You can kill him level 5 and 6 with ignite otherwise you need to go for the split push after a while your W will one shot him since his base hp scaling is low. unless he buys tank eventually you will 100-0 him with EWR combo. Survive”
AShovelMan says “Can also basically keep you away from wave states and crush you most angles, having that ward jump hop just makes it even harder to lock him down.”
Skaarlschloch says “There are 2 main approaches to make this matchup playable
Grasp, Conq (or AP)
eitherway Boneplating + double adaptive force shards are ESSENTIAL!
I used to rate this Matchup as worst counter but with Grasp you win it so hard early and get so Tanky and scale so well with Titanic Crit build that i cant rate it worse than Even
Grasp Demolish Boneplating Revitalize POM Legend:Haste with AD,AD,Flat or sclaingHP, Dring gives you best chances early and lets you stack hp becoming tanky outsustaining jax and often even letting you solokill if he plays bad
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AdpJ5mU12c
For Conq Dblade setup its harder to play and you need to really get ahead early take this gameplay by the goat 1vsAll as refference https://chzzk.naver.com/video/6924745 lane starts at 2h 55min
He ends up getting a huge cs lead early by trading well and outsustaining Jax
”
SemenDrinker says “Pedo v Pedo (i take shield and bone plating)
You will q1 and hold your e until he jumps onto you. W and Q2 E backwards and then you can go for your Q3. Thats kinda how the entire lane will play out. If he gets 1 kill the lane is over for you and you'll never walk up again. He will either use his E when jumping at you or when he sees your passive AA so just keep that in mind. Post 6 the mu becomes alot harder since he gains more armor and that nullifies your healing a bit. All i can do is keep the wave under your tower as much as you can and never be overextended in lane against him because like Darius he runs you down and sticks on you hard. ”
IvanBeifong says “Not that hard of a matchup, calculate his cooldowns, dont waste E until he jumps at you with his E, when his E is about to go off, you throw E2 at him and drop your combo.
His ult is good damage, though it bugs your auto attacks.”
Sekirooo says “it's very hard to deal with jax since he is very tanky and if he use his E it's like gameover so best if you play smart and wait for his e to finish ”
y every name taken says “Most Jax's will wait the full two seconds to recast their E for the stun. Time your ult so that you can dodge the CC, even in melee range.”
Frankoloko says “I don't yet have a solution to this one. Hold your E for when he uses E. Don't fight him when his passive is fully stacked. Only ult after he ults. You win if you get a lead, so a jungle gank or two means a lot here. At lv6 with minimal items you have a good chance to win. Play good fundamentals here!”
Belle19 says “try to w his e stun. If he ults just phase rush away. If you want you can go conq but there's no reason to coinflip it since you outscale him fairly quickly (once you both have ult your ult is much better). if you run at him later on, don't actually auto with q just hold it since he will probably intuitively try to e it, just use q for ms and then activate e once ur near him”
LilPicky says “(Take 2nd rune page but instead of triumph take absorb life and take bone playing instead of second wind start shield) Unplayable matchup i guess, i recommend baning him. If you are playing vs him you should play around his Q cooldown and E cooldown. play near walls to E his E as fast as you can, bait his E so you can auto him and get passive”
Lanec says “Basically, every champ who can engage and kill you very fast in early are hard to play against with Aurora. You need to be really carefull”
Niemi says “Jax players are easy to manipulate. They want to get close and bonk you.
When he starts spinning his lamp, just E him away or Q him at the last second so he can't act on the stun”
Body Those Fools says “Similar to Fiora and Gwen, Jax could be in the brush closest to your tower and start E; he will all-in you level 1, stun you, or start Q and jump on you and try to make you miss the first few minions of XP/Gold. He can just perma jump on you, but if you use your range advantage wisely, you can just poke him down without worry. If he ever jumps on you after level 6, you can just Ult him away or towards your turret. Void Staff 2nd or 3rd is advisable versus Jax since his Ult gives him a lot of resistances. ”
CC IMMUNE says “Never ult unless he uses his Q first, because he can just ward hop out, or leap to a minion and expire your ult then kill you. Take Ghost Exhaust and max E.”
Godzilla010 says “Start E........Try to bait out his Counterstrike with a fake Q and then just spin on top of him, use W to block the Counterstrike, then use Q.......You can out-sustain in lane with passive, he needs potions.........Easier to kill after 6.”
smrgol says “Play with your range, don't underestimate his dive potential. Best way to not let him stick to you is to put a trap on the ground and stand near/ on it so you can root him as soon as he jumps on you, that way you have the same amount of CC and you can run back and punish him from a distance.”
Zagreus16 says “i really dont know why riot thought a pole dancer was PG friendly but here we are. maxing w in this fight is a must cause you will never really land ur q on this guy. take TP and play it safe, Stride helps a lot cause you can slow him as soon as he starts his E and run away. So then it will either force him to jump on you which will prevent him escaping you or he will have to back off. This guy you can perma ban but there is worse.”
CrimsonL7 says “HE DOES SO MUCH DAMAGE. but if you play around his E well you can win. Early game let him jump onto you and E you, and once the stun is over immediately W and Q onto him. If you dont want to fight just E him away. Once you both have R its really hard for you to win 1v1 and best you can do is take short trades and wait for ganks and or team fights. ”
step1v9 says “This matchup has become so unskilled auto-win for the jax player it's so boring. The best way to maximize winning is finding an all-in with ghost at level 1 then snowballing and praying they dont build frozen heart.”
Baby_Driver says “This whole matchup revolves around his E. Use your pull to kite it out.
Steelcaps are crucial.
It's okay to use your ult early, especially to keep your stacks up when he uses E.”
Raideru says “In early all you can do is poke with q and try to bait out his e with fake autoing, whenever he jumps on you just e him and walk away or q him if possible, you win all ins against him as long as he doesn't have a huge hp lead on you on the beginning of the trade, Try to keep lane frozen/close to your tower as much as possible and ask for ganks since Jax is very easy to abuse with Darius cause the only way he can trade with you is by jumping on you”
Azzin says “Your character is actually really good to counter jax's kit. You can W his stun, empowered E when he use E to tempo, run out when he ults. This just needs a bit of practice but this matchup is no big threat.”
DuckQc says “Try to bait his stun and hurt him with your q+e combo. When he goes for trade slow him and pop W or run away or if his E is turned on throw q+e and go pick up q cause ur basic attacks dont work just like vs teemo q so dont waste time, pick up q and either save ur ass or all in. Just poke him and u ll be fine”
Arthapsic says “If you leave him open start E level 1 and E out of his E and make him push the wave. If he ever jumps on you use Q then E out. If he wastes his E after 6 he is killable if you have higher hp than him. Try to poke him once or twice with Q then all in with R if his Q is down. You can use your R as a spacing tool ( if he is Qing onto you and then using E and your E is down you can use your R to slow him to get away from the stun and then proceeding to all in him if the situation is good ). You are both around even at 1 item. Anyone can win the 1v1 depending on his E after laning phase.”
Serrvant_of_Christ says “Can Start E and jump in with Q, if you see him use his E on the wave, if he jumps on you with Q dont be too scared, short trade with him, but do play safe until later.”
Beeware says “Keep your distance and E on top of yourself as soon as he uses E and starts spinning. Usually you can disengage, but he has a strong all in, so be careful.”
TeiWasTaken says “Another Kled hard counter. He will bait out your W and then use his E to block it, stunning you and dismounting you. He outscales you really hard and you cannot even fight him in lane, I recommend banning or dodging this champ.”
ArmedDad says “god forbid you left this unbanned if you want to play camille smh.
buttt, if you find yourself in this satanic matchup, know this.
1. his e just stops you. no auto, q1, or q2.
2. any extended trade he wins even if you dodge one e as he just shor cd w which BONKS
3. his q will always be up to dodge your w
4. when you have e to engage, he will always have e to cuck you <3
5. his ult makes all your damage outside q2 useless due to the fat armour and mr he gets. his auto attacks also get mega buffed bby doing the magic damage every other auto instead of third
6. YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR ULTIMATE TO DODGE HIS E BASIC ABILITY TO WIN AN ALL IN. WTF. :3
7. he scales. --> you never really win side either. he can also build alot of health which means your 80% true damage output means jak shit <3.
8. He frontlines and assasinates. You cannot really frontline.
9. know this, if a jax loses to camille without your jungle and mid and support perma camping him, he should (no toxicity) leave league for a few days or maybe find another game to play.”
SVKGuardian says “..................................................................................
- Has strong lvl 1 with lethal tempo if you let him auto attack you for free, His Passive is nearly same as Lethal Tempo, although he can stack in on anything and doesn't get bonus range.
..................................................................................
- Most often he starts with E, which block autoattacks and stuns at the end of duration, or when he cancels it early
..................................................................................
- LVL 2 he usually lvls up Q, which lets him jump on target, so he is going to start his most common combo E+q to try and jump on you and stun you, while being safe from autoattacks
..................................................................................
- His W is bonus damage on next AA and AA reset as well
..................................................................................
- On level 6 he gets his ultimate, which gives him Passively: bonus on-hit Damage on third AA
..................................................................................
- When activating ultimate, he deals bonus damage around and gets bonus resists based on enemy champion hit
..................................................................................
- So, his gameplay doesn't change that much during the Game
..................................................................................
- You have to be really careful, he can rush Sheen, to just short trade into you and then it is hard for you to react, while you cannot land AA during his E
”
eXC4l says “Perhaps your biggest enemy in top lane. Ban him on usual, if somehow matched up against; try to stay away from his Q range as much as possible.”
Skaarlschloch says “One of the easiest Matchups if played correctly.
Use Q to disengage/knock back Jax when he goes on you. Keep him out of your melee Range. Easy Solokills after you hit 6”
Ulsur says “Doran's Shield, probably the only matchup where it's better to start E to avoid his Counter Strike at level 1, after that you basically never E in, only throw basic Q1s and wait for him to jump on you, if he jumps you just W him, E back and hit your combo, avoid his E at all costs, after 6 you can space his ultimate but it's pretty hard, he wins extended fights so don't fight him in his ultimate, can be pretty annoying and scales pretty well, don't get baited into rushing Tabis as he has mixed damage, just chill and build boots according to the whole enemy team not just Jax. It's a skill matchup but it's Jax favored,.”
DioSett says “take tp and doran blade , rush boots and then buy hp , max w and use your w before he launch his E stun ,after 6 dont try to force fights with him , first full item must be stridebreaker”
DDemonJesters says “Early game is not good with this champ. but i would not say it's impossible. just use E (charged) when he uses E to stun you. and you're good to trade the W+AA+Q+AA”
Shark of Void says “He can ignore your Q with E. He can zone you from farming with Q. Use W to evade his E. Stay in bush and get exp. You can all in him after lvl 6.”
Hotch says “My permaban. Miserable matchup. His E blocks all of your damage, he jumps your wall, he jumps away, he jumps you under your tower and you're dead.
Your only hope is to go for trades after he's used his E and Q. Otherwise, play passively and try to avoid him late game, he outscales you pretty hard.
Take flash and build bruiser.”
SVKGuardian says “If he is smart, be will build some burst vs you and is going to try and just always q+w on you for short trades. You can try to punish him by putting grenades underneath you and catching him when he jumpes on you to then chase after him and do as much damage as possible. Your W hurt him so much. You can try and predict his jump or react to it as its happening to W in his direction and then try to outrun his stun area.
If you are able to do that, than you can punish him big time.
Also careful, the higher level he is, the faster he has his Q back. He will be able to jump on you like every 5 seconds. Thats why it is so important to be able to react to his Qs with your W.”
forlid says “Jax is known as one of the best picks against one due to his E being very effective and because he just statchecks you. Your only plays here are to bait out his E and either use your own E to escape: this only works if your movement speed is about the same, or you can just Q3 out of it if you have it. Either way, Jax is definitely a strong ban, but I'd just learn to lane against him as effectively as possible. He isn't usually a strong pick in meta and there are far more annoying lanes.”
PinkBlood says “Skill lane but gangplank favour'd, just let him shove early and just farm until sheen. When his E is down you can run at him early levels and pressure him with your passive auto attack. You ideally want to orange the stun and apply passive auto after he runs at you with E. ”
procatking says “for this matchup runes NO.1,2 are good,take ignite and D blade. (look for one that fit your game-style)
*Favorable for pantheon*
You can make his life a hell by poking non-stop with your Q.
he can jump stun you so be ready with Aegis Assault(E) to block incoming DMG ”
KaliRF says “Easy if you know how to play against, use your E when he activate his E to fear him if he want to dash on you, care he outscale WW after the 2nd item, still possible to 1v1 him at the 3rd item if you are even.”
Witchking of Angwar says “Flash/tp, spellbook. Tabis early. His only chance is to cheese you early with lethal but that got nerfed. After 6 you Beat him at any point in the game. R after his r for extra stats!”
conqiyana says “if you go into grass q or dodge every stun u win. if he hits you with 1 stun he will hard win the fight no matter how far ahead u are
”
SenSen_LoL says “This is a really hard matchup when you begin playing nidalee top.
The main problem with Jax is that he can jump on you (it has approximately the same cd as your jump) while being protected with his E and you cannot really trade back.
Similar to Fiora, you have to hold your cougar Q until the end of Jax's E. If you don't, he'll almost always out trade you.
You have better sustain, better range. Focus on dashing out when he jumps on you and punish him when his E is on cooldown. You win pre-6 pretty easily, but the matchup gets trickier once he gets ult as he can really annihilate you on an all in if you're not careful.
Also, DO NOT FALL BEHIND, as he will just rush through you if you do.”
mastershen says “Look for level 2 engage with ignite and take grasp in this matchup rush riftmaker for boot you can go steelcaps and use your E when he engage on you and Q after his E was down ult early”
Mikailx says “Tips: Runes, PTA with bone plating and unflinching and put a point in Tenacity and slow resist (10%)
Play around his E and look to punish him. Get Plated Steelcaps
also call your jungler to assist you.”
MaesePerez says “He beats you early, if you can q him when he jumps in you should be able to walk away from his e, and after that you win the trade. You outscale, just be mindful not to get cheesed early with an e flash.”
Guldkarameller says “Jax is a tricky one. You can definitely beat him. If he Q's in you can W right after and trap him. He can block ghoul dmg with E so try to wait it out or kite him as best you can. Time his cooldowns. ”
CARTIFAN88 says “PEDOFILE CHAMP. MAKE SURE THERE ARENT ANY YORDLES OR CHILDREN ON UR TEAM AND UR FINE. TAKE COMET OR PHASE RUSH AND SPAM PING UR PIGGY JG FOR HELP. IF U LOSE LANE ITS JG DIFF.”
Belle19 says “ALWAYS Q MAX
if you aren't confident you can look to outscale and farm in lane, if he ever q's onto you cleaver and walk away.
If you're good at spacing this is a bully lane where from level 1 you can completely shit on him. I've played against the best jax's NA, they're good at jax don't get me wrong but if you're confident on mundo I don't think there's a lot of counterplay for them. Just keep in mind if you mess up a trade you will probably die later, and 1 death into jax is game-ending his zoning potential is really good
Phase rush + resolve if you are unconfident, grasp if you want to bully.”
Sugenrift says “Jax (The Bluffer): Jax, with his ability to dodge attacks and stun, can outplay TF in close quarters. However, Twisted Fate can counter this by bluffing with his positioning and card selection, forcing Jax to commit Counter Strike early and then engaging. Much like the house calling a bluffer's bet, TF can turn the tables by playing unpredictably and seizing control of the lane dynamics.”
EvilRavioli says “A Jax favored skill match up, he outscales you but you can win early laning and stomp him after vamp scepter and with bork level 9 spike.”
hamgi says “short trades. do not go for extended trades as he will always win with passive, w and e. save e for when he jumps on u with q and e. only engage on him in ur e”
forlid says “Very skill based matchup. With proper spacing you should be able to punish him should he decide to engage on you. When comboing him you should keep note of his E as it reduces your Q damage. Learn to time your Q3 so that when he recasts E you damage him in return. He outscales Aatrox hard so avoid taking duels after he gains three items.”
PlayCabex says “He controls level 1 and might try to zone you out, but can’t kill you. After that, you control the lane since he can never engage onto you, it’s completely unplayable for him. Whenever he tries, fear him the moment he lands with his Q, walk away from his E range and E W to win the trade. After 6 you can kill him easily as long as he doesn’t cancel your R.
Runes: Aery”
GwenMain says “Jax is my permaban choice because you simply cannot win 1v1s, never, his E is too good against you and his scaling is pretty much equal to yours.”
Belle19 says “Its a really straight forward matchup, you lose level 1 but can win lvl 2 if you get your pull. The idea is he wins short trades and can disengage with e stun, but if you pull him while his e is going he bounces off you and you dont get stunned. If you juke his e and he doesnt have ignite you almost always win the fight. Whoever first bloods the other wins until late game. Late IMO you outscale him, you do more in teamfights but you lose the 1v1 unless you outplay him. If he's doing the grasp thing you are fucked, traditional lethal jax you usually beat”
zwartebliksem says “Horror matchup. His E cooldown early is quite long, but when it's up, you lose every trade. Let yourself get pushed in and ask your jungler for a gank. This will be, along with Fiora, your hardest matchup.”
AWierdShoe says “This lane can snowball both ways, however it can be difficult due to the nature of Jax's kit and how he can play around us in-lane. If they take Lethal Tempo, all-ins are riskier but more rewarding if we hit all of our skillshots. If they take Grasp, the lane should be much harder for us (assuming the enemy Jax knows how to play the lane). You can go for Q poke level 1, but don't go for an early passive auto until he uses his E. Contesting the wave is risky as once he gets level 2 he can just Q onto you and stun you, forcing you to take a lot of damage. Don't fight him when his passive is fully stacked as it gives him a ton of attack speed. If he initiates the trade and jumps onto you, feel free to kite him out and punish him. Even if you get hit by his E he will have nothing to dodge our abilities. Level 6 can be quite threatening as it gives him a ton of resistances and more magic damage on his autos. Winning this lane is very doable and not too difficult, but just keep in mind that Jax is a scaling powerhouse and will beat you in the sidelane at around 2 items if you're both even.”
Grimmloi says “Ultinizi açana kadar safe Ulti açıldıktan sonra rahat edersiniz özellikle ilk 3 leveli çok dikkatli oynamanız gerekiyor gerekirse Q yeteneği ile bile minyon almayın size atlayıp ilk levellerde çok rahat kesebilir”
VigsenGaming says “My go to ban. His E counters your W and has really good disengage and engage. And hes getting OMEGA buffed in 14.2 so just ban it man”
Haearnbleidd says “Tricky matchup but beatable. Early you want to do very quick trades with him with q and e to poke him down and if he's low you can finish him down. After 6 he will try to q away from your r so only r if he q's towards you. He will outscale you in 1v1 late but you have better teamfighting.”
lbc1506 says “He has to Q-W-E in order to get damage to you. If you Q when he jumps on top of you it negates any damage and you walk away.
One of the easiest matchups for Anivia.”
Joy17 says “Jax pode ter uma combinação de dano e resistência, mas Warwick, com suas habilidades de cura e controle de grupo, pode lidar com Jax nas trocas, especialmente se souber administrar a troca de habilidades.”
deathbypotion says “He is very strong with new items and can seat on you hard or even poke his jumps. Don`t feed him early and he will not be a threat. You can flip him immediately after his Q. Your W stops him from Q-ing.”
Bronzesuo says “This guy is hell. You can't Run away, you can't fight. Use any build against him, if you can win against him every build should be playable. Try to farm as much as you can and don't get into fights with him, beacuse he is very strong in duels.”
Akuzai says “My personal permaban. You can't autoattack into him to reset e or stack q, he will jump on you and he can dive you. He also outscales if he builds well! Personally just ban this champ or call for jungle help and pray you can scale harder.”
PPlongcook says “You shit all over this guy early its not even funny. The problem is that if you ever leave him alone to farm a sidelane he will come out of nowhere with a billion damage and shit all over you. You will want to follow him around the map wherever he goes so he can't scale up. If you have 3/4 kills on him in lane, you can rush sunfire and keep all inning him and he won't be able to do shit. If you are only slightly ahead or even rush blade. The reason is that if you both get blade at the same time he is stronger until you get more items.
He always outscales at some point so try to win early.”
MYCATRENGAR says “Fleet
Classic Rengar match up, you win pre 3 itmes.
Easy trade patters, Have your root or Emp W ready. Jump in kite his stun, then root and trade.
If he hits the E he wins the trade, disengage when he ults.
You win lvl 1 if you avoid the stun! ”
Pusi Puu says “no counterplay lategame he just blocks all your dmg and runs you down. You win early game if you play properly and wait out his E. Counts for Jungle and Top. If you play vs a Jax jungle invade him as much as possible and dont let him breathe.”
hoflol says “Skill related matchup. Save your fling for after he jumps on you and he won't be able to retaliate much damage. Your W also stops him from jumping.
Once he gets Divine Sunderer, winning trades can be hard.”
GheeseEmpty says “Trades here are entirely dictated by Jax's Counterstrike cooldown. If you time your Ram Stance auto attacks well, you can actually buffer its animation through his stun, and stun him right as his Counterstike ends. Not a super difficult matchup, but he will outscale you for the most part.”
DemiLime says “Outscales you, blocks your autos, is just better. You can kill him if you save your w for after his counter strike AND dodge the stun and its pre6 you can kill him.”
xXazzer says “A good Jax can definitely beat you. But Jax has no real escape. If he goes in on you W him and force him to eat all your Q's. Since he will hug you make him eat Q3 and then E away to disengage. He will outscale you.”
trulyaito says “- Melee vs Melee so go Dblade
- The other hardest matchup for kled just as challenging as fiora.
- I recommend banning jax in lower elo since he is way easier to play and fiora takes at least some brain.
- Outscales you really hard, you can beat him early game.
- Hold a point in your W until his E is on cooldown, since he can just time his E with your first W auto.
- for runes take grasp, demolish, bone plating, and unflinching > overgrowth, legend alacrity and last stand.
- take flash exhaust or flash tp if you are scared. but be wary that even if you go even with jax, he still will outscale you.
- try to get a gank from jungle, exhaust helps.”
Flyrie says “Flash+TP+Doran Shield -
Max W -
Jogue no E+W contra o E dele -
Bota Tier 1 + Stun consegue te fazer sair da Range do E dele -
Plated caso esteja perdendo ou dano caso esteja na frente -
Se quiser trocar espere o Level 2~3 ou troque inteligente pois Lethal Tempo > Conqueror Lvl 1, coloque Ignite e Doran Blade -
Caso fique atrás ou depois da Sunderer, tudo fica muito difícil, por isso é interessante TP e pressionar o mapa ao invés de tentar solar ele por ego, deixe ele errar e aproveite.
”
NegativePhoenix says “Jax isn't a hard matchup even if he's good at the champion
Your Q can trade stuns with his E so try to save it for then or use your W to try and jump away from his E stun
Your W and his E have weird interactions since sometimes your W will still go through, and sometimes it will stop mid-air
Just don't take heavy prolonged trades and you'll be good”
ThelpixG says “One of those champions that have monstruous scaling but somehow get away with having a strong early game trading potential.
How to Beat?
- Very skill based matchup, his level 1 is strong because of his E. Try dodging it and abuse him while he has no E up;
- Take first strike because and abuse your passive for true damage;
- Conditioning is good against him because he deals hybrid damage;
- His level 6 is very strong and he has a good trading potential once he gets a couple points in W and sheen;
- He scales very well and has top tier split pushing so try to build a lead on top of him and deny his scaling a bit.”
LilliaFanBoy says “Not exactly a hard matchup but it's not favorable either. Level 1 you can win the trade by just kitting away from him when he tries to stun you and as soon as his E ends you start fighting back with your Q's keeping distance from him and occasionally auto attacking him.”
WhendZ says “Um bom jax vai fazer você ficar triste. mas é bem fácil ganhar se você usar usa laranja no stun dele e pokear sem parar, se ele tiver sem o E, vai pra cima, mas mantém um barril no seu pé caso dê merda.”
Yogolord says “just make sure you make correct trades and he DOES NOT HAVE FULL LEATHEL TEMPO you have enough kit to trade and disengage
the problem is that he scale pretty well but you can destroy him with enough patience”
Wizboy73 says “[conqueror] Even though this champ is retardedly strong rn, i dont really have problems with him myself. you can q spam his face, and if you get frozen heart and spirit visage 3th-4th he should never be able to beat you. just dont underestimate his dmg. ”
JPGamer10BR says “Lane difícil, sempre deixe um cogumelo em baixo de você, caso ele upe o Q lvl 1 ele pode pular em você e te bater com ritmo fatal, caso ele upe o E, tente dar o máx. de dano possível, tente dar o Q para evitar o W dele, ele pode usar 2 combos.
1º: E+Q+W
2º: Q+W+E
tente descobrir qual ele está usando e tente counterar o W dele.”
The Saucy Saurus says “Trade with Q when he jumps on you. Trade with Q when he uses E. If he tries to jump on you, you can block with W. If you are low on hp, block his jump with W and run away. Similarly if he is onlow hp you can block his escape with W.”
Denied20 says “MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: SCARCE. One of very few non early game match ups, that can be difficult to duel right away. He can easily respond to Yasuo's regular trading pattern with a "counterstrike walk up". To prepare for this you can utilize minions to get distance away from the stun. Yasuo still win with counterstrike on cooldown.
It is CRUCIAL to keep a strong economy going, unless you can punish/kill Jax during his E down time at later stages, you will get rolled over. At a certain point once you feel he has gotten ahead, you need to play around the wave at all times. Having a wave allows you to prepare tornados which interrupts his leap or delayed counterstrike. It allows you to disengage or reengage as well. Sometimes the wave allows you to stall, and wait out his ultimate. Rush Stormrazor into Jax to space his counterstrike.”
zacklynier says “zıplamasını baitle, zıplarken w ya al uzaklaş e at, e si bitince oto q at ve çık . jax aşırı kısa ve uzun trade lerde seni ezip geçer, buzdoğan>karabalta build i yap”
Crossing Calvin says “Phase rush
This one is 50/50 but it's definitely jayce favored. It's really easy if he goes lethal tempo. You just knock him away if he jumps on you. If he goes grasp. He goes 3 point in Q's and tries to poke you out with Q W sheen. You need to be careful with your using your hammer E here. If the matchup goes even you win in teamfights but loses on side.”
BurritoTopKing says “Can be hard, try not to trade into his E, if he jumps into you try to E so he can't stun you, or buffer W through stun, spacing is important in this matchup and it can be very snowbally so try not to die, you can play for fights.”
LimesC3 says “You have no cc so you lose to cc.
Dude one stun and you lose every trade
To beat him
- Best to get boots early
- Space him out of his stun
- Bait his ult and run away (try not to ult)
- All in Jax after his stun or ultimate and you have your ultimate ”
SpookyKing says “Can't beat a good Jax. Counterstrike screws you too hard. Also hard out scales. Can't really build antiheal efficiently so that's chill.”
xskyswitch says “Go conqueror since you can't reliably get your 3 autos from W and PTA off. E his E when he jumps on you if you cannot avoid it. When your E is on cooldown play passive unless you are confident you can kill him in an all in without it. Late game he can outplay since he scales incredibly well.”
Brb3535 says “u win. but same as irelia. u ll need dmg not plated. and is a little clutchy i ll be honest. sometimes i win hard sometimes i lose against jax. is all about how confident he is. but in rest u should win. sometimes i don t understand how with only vampiric scepter they can have so much attack speed , compared to others. watch his burst on u. if he jumps on u and activates e , u e him as well when that is almost finished . but this only if u can kill him. if not poke after he jumps on u ( and if he doesn t use his e) . ”
Bonkyou says “Personal ban, Easy to execute champion that statchecks like a truck.
Do not feed and play around his e with your Q2 and E, don't get scared to trade back either or you lose if he gets multiple W bonks in”
RivenCarriedYou says “Start dorans shield, level one bait E while taking minions with Q1 and autos. knock up before it ends, making his e whiff, Make sure the lane is always on your side. if you accidentally shove a wave. if you take one trade or overstep you either lose a massive trade or get ran down and completely murdered. Riven can safe trade at level 3. Lead with Q, auto, W, auto and disengage. Jax will either take the trade or Q and E on you, which you can just E the damage away or look to all in. After his E is down, Jax loses really hard. Look to build advantages early, Jax wins hard with items.”
BaotoGame says “This is also a very difficult matchup for Yorick. He turns on E, killing all your ghouls and maiden.Q to escape your W. And you can't do anything when Jax turns on his E at all. When Jax has intends to jump in and stun you, you just need to press W to stop him and when his E end,you can trade with him”
Chaddouk says “Jax can be pretty scary since he absolutely outscales tryndamere (because of his E basically). Still during laning phase it's a skill matchup and trynd even has some sort of an advantage since it's easier for him to play the interactions. Things to keep in mind : whenever trynd is pushing, he has the advantage cuz he can stack fury and jax can not stack passive. Same the other way around when jax pushed he gets passive stacks and not trynd, so at the highest level of play it's just a "bouncing waves" match-up where every player should respect the other player push. Now how to abuse early as trynd : level just auto him until he presses E then you E out (longer tryn E range), then after lvl 2, never start a trade in melee because then he can just follow your E with his Q, force him to jump on you, then again hit autos until he presses E and E out instant so he doesn't have time to cast it again. You outsustain, so kind of like wukong matchup take short trades into an all-in, if he manages to get 2 E's during an all-in you will most likely lose it. Grasp build tho makes it very different and sort of easy. Just play the short trades and outsustain you win by default until 4 items.”
daitolol says “- Can go for level 1 trading but be wary of e try to bait it by going back and forth with passive up
- Go only for short trades early you can dodge his q+e combo using e and after that the trade is really free but something to keep in mind is that the q cd for him is very short so after you have used cds don't contest cs
-His new ult is aoe which makes it that it is dodgeable but also keep in mind he can burt you hard in shroud with e+r combo,
”
Black Demon Ezel says “Although able to block your passive enhanced auto, he cannot block your Q Sweet Spots. Use that to your advantage. He can't beat you if he can't block you.”
_WhiteSnow_ says “do not initiate trades with unburrow unless you are really close to turret, otherwise jax can just jump on you immediately and full combo you with stun before your burrow gets off cooldown. Play for really short trades or poke with empowered e until he burns e, then look to get a short trade while its on cooldown. If he's low, you can look to commit with a tunnel that you can buffer through his e to just burst him and finish him off with r, but otherwise never commit your tunnel offensively or your escape tool is completely gone.”
X_TRM says “(Start E/W) At lvl 1 use your E to stun him in the minion wave if he engages with his E. You need to play around your minion wave and predict his moves. He is useless without his E so bait it if you have Stridebreaker because you can walk around him if you activate it. He will outscale you eventually. Stride - Clever - Shojin - Overlords - Steraks/Hullbreaker”
At_Tar_Ras says “DO NOT W him until he uses his counter-strike. that's the EASIEST way to lose this matchup. Q abuse him in lane and when he counterstrikes, walk away or E away. E2 back to AA+W him and prob all-in, otherwise re-engage before his counter-strike comes back up. don't bother AA+Q'ing him cause he'll just E and then your Q will deal 25% less dmg. just Q range abuse him in lane. make sure to pop boneplating. bait out his E then re-engage with your combo. you do win this pretty well if you know what you're doing. ”
vexxed04 says “{Phase rush flash ghost} You'll need ghost to keep up with him when he jumps to minions and to outrun his E.
The key to the matchup is taking E first and playing to kill the first 3 minions then playing back while he eats the rest of his. He'll hit lvl 2 so care and don't take a fight we will have a kill window at lvl 6 just focus on the wave. Early game he just has too much damage. Get Hullbreaker to be unkillable if he's ahead grab black cleaver to counter his ult.”
Smudey says “[Starting Items: DRing/Cloth 4pot]
[Build: Fleet with boneplating/Aery if confident + Liandry's]
A bad Jax will use E before jumping on you so you can just Q him and run away and punish him afterwards. A good Jax will Q W you instantly and you won't be able to do much if you don't blind him before he jumps on you. Q max is advised in this matchup. You both scale well so depending on who gets ahead early, you can either poop on him or get pooped on.”
Pretzel Shiv says “From personal opinion you beat him, you can use e to jump out of his e, you poke him down, also edge of night is pretty nice in this matchup. ”
RipAMC says “This champ scales hard and becomes a beast in the late game. His dodge ability can block your attacks, and if he starts getting ahead, it's tough to stop him.”
PILLAR OF ICE says “You dont know if he has ignite before game starts so go flash exhaust to match the possible ignite and his e in all ins. You can poke him by sliding the chomp in instantly after lasthitting a minion. When he turns on the e just w and pillar if he jumps over it just all in after e. If he tries to kill you lvl1 stay put and auto to death (u win with exhaust anyway) ”
TheBougis says “Jax has very high consistant damage and is very hard to kite away because of his very low cooldown Q and E. This is where the W max can come in handy.”
Gobomo says “Jax is one of the biggest threats to you and to the comp because he isn't kiteable and he just ignores half of your team's damage. Singed needs to be able to peel Jax off of you, which can be incredibly difficult given that there's a whole other team member you need to worry about. Just focus on keeping your distance and not letting him leap on to you. If he chases Singed with his teammate, you've won, since you can just stick behind Singed and help him whittle the enemies down.”
ApeDied says “Can be dangerous if played well, try to safe your Q for when he jumps at you, but dont waste it while he uses his Counter-Strike ability.”
cillowlane says “he is surprisingly bursty. if he uses e and q's onto you you can fling him off. you can fling him and run after he e's to escape q distance. watchout for his e flash.”
DebRiX9 says “Jax is a braindead champ, but if you poke him hard you will win eventually. Don't let him take a kill or you'll have to play safe. If you have an advantage you will win out of raw Q damage. Rush CC boots and a lil bit of armor”
SVKGuardian says “You probably can't really trade with jax or jump into him. He also destroys the whole combo with one spell. The best is probably to play poke build here, even though Jax doesn't have that strong early (except lvl 1 lethal tempo all in)”
Codeeex says “This matchups looks easy for Darius, but in reality if the Jax is good you can't really do much against it. Try not to get cheesed by his Ignite&LethalTempo.”
Quinnculated says “Сбиваем ку в полете и не подставляемся под флеш+е(если флешается, то инста флешать от него). Держать в голове откаты ку и е при трейдах.”
ShadowStealer94 says “A pretty even matchup just don't Q when his E is up, instead use your E and Q to hit him with the full true damage from the center of W.”
OmegaDelta000 says “Wait until he engages and his E runs out (if he started the trade with E), then auto and Q away if he didn't start trade with Q, otherwise, auto, Q away and W when he jumps at you.”
RuchaczSzmat69 says “Jax is op right now but gp is one of the best counters. Sit on the barrel so if he Qs on you, you can just destroy it and run away from his E with bonus ms and slowing him down. Dont come close if he has stacks on his passive from minions. He is vulnerable without his E and it has pretty long cd early on.”
ABL Pantheon says “TOP: You can take Conqueror on him since you proc it even if Jax uses E. You win early and can poke with your Q. Don't W if he has E, he can cancel your Auto Attacks, other than that you win. Use W or E to block his E. Be careful after 6 for his ultimate.”
ToplaneProfessor says “[grasp] [demolish] [bone plating] [overgrowth] + [Cash Back] [approach velocity]
items : start ruby crystal -> plated steelcaps -> CORE
easy lane before he gets bork , when he gets bork play safe and only look to kill with undertower combo
”
lordimboutabust says “Spam Q if he jumps on you with counterstrike or you can Q1 - E - W - Q2 to avoid the follow up dmg from his W and AAs. If he misses his stun you can try and return trade. Jax hard out scales you. He gets significant power spike at 6 and BORK so watch out for those. you can try poke but that puts you in jump range so sometimes its better to try and predict when he will go for a trade and counter it with the Q - E -W backwards | Bone plating | Dblade - Tank mythic”
Zombzn00b says “Divine and BORK are big powerspikes of his that both are dangerous for you. Try to W his E, and use your R when his E is on CD, because if he uses E while you are in all out you lose a ton of dmg due to being unable to proc passive on him”
Bernardian says “As we go down the list matchups get easier with mechanical prowess and the need for outplaying your opponent going down the more we go through these. My explanation for different matchups will go down as well untill we hit the easier matchups as i will show you how to snowball a lead and take control of the lane.
So Jax also used to be a ban for me for awhile post rework but a few good nerfs and hes now a hard matchup. He will shit on you lvl 1 with lethal ignite and his E no matter what DO NOT TRADE WITH HIM. after lvl 1 lane gets easier, try to hook him while hes in his counterstrike to cancel it out after that happens, you can either ghost for an all in or fuck off and go back to farming, remember your E CD is longer than his(24 seconds for Darius 14 for Jax) so keep that in mind when you trade with him. It is very crucial that you hit your Q as if you don't it is a auto lose trade. RUSHING TABIS IS A LITERAL MUST”
Waqql says “Jax is indeed not a problem for Gnar. Just keep in mind three things. First, avoid getting into melee range and stay within your autoattack range. Second, don't get stunned by him. If he jumps with his Leap Strike, immediately jump away. If he only jumps without stunning, wait for him to charge his stun and then jump away. And finally, don't let him kill you. If you notice that he deals more damage than expected, let him push the wave, poke him with your Q, and consider buying armor.”
FaNTOP says “Прижимайтесь к стенам, чтобы использовать E для подкидывния и делайте только короткие обмены, НЕ ОБМЕНИВАЙТЕСЬ АВТОАТАКАМИ. Используйте W, когда его оглушение заканчивается, и активно использовать все свои способности и убегайте. Всегда делайте короткие обмены у стен, и он никогда не победит.”
Delthion says “I personally ban Jax because I don't like facing him with any champion that I play. His Q and E makes him very unpleasant to play against. If you do face him, keep the wave on your side of river and DO NOT try to fight him on your own. A lot of times you don't have much of a choice on whether or not you fight him because he will jump on you. So either ban him or play under turret and you'll be fine.”
Lukajs says “Counterstrike (E) counters your autoattacks, and since you're an autoattack reliant champion, Jax is a good counter up until 6.
Play around his E being down.”
TheGBabaYaga says “The only thing that keeps jax alive is his E, if he cant stun you or block you basic damage spell you W you are good, and even if he starts scaling passive nad runes, you delay it with your E”
demirkaiser says “I hate him. Perma ban him. If you didn't and couldn't dodge the game. Pull him back with your E when he uses E. Play safe until 6. After 6, wait him to use his ult. Do not use ult if he didn't ult because you won't be able to steal his ult stats.”
TTVXiralid says “max Q as he has no sustain and poke him to near death before engaging. Make sure to silence him right after Q so he doesnt jump to a minion or ward if u wanna kill him.”
SirGRC says “As long as you Wither him before the stun he becomes a much easier lane. He can still do a lot of damage but his trades become much less scary if he does less damage during the stun.”
zhock2014 says “Jax is really scary for trundle because he can stun and he is one of the best 1v1 champions in the entire game and trundle is decent for 1v1 but still jax is just too tanky for trundle to be able to kill.”
Twogrand says “get to him level 1 if he starts E space well and just continue to poke him down any time he tries to jump onto you just spam your E (knock back) and then do trades with that on cooldown. phaserush tp, eclipse build path”
Blackpharmacy says “Get the Phase rush rune. Upgrade Q first. Kite him out. Pull the wave and freeze as much as possible. Don't try to fight during lv1 He will Q hop on to you and get u to low hp then tower dive lv 3 with enemy jg. place W when he leaps in. DONT FIGHT WHEN PHASE RUSH IS DOWN. Use R to trade if necessary”
Althalosofsirun says “Dont fall for his bullshit auto attacker or not dont buy plateds get goredrinker and fight him when you have W up stun him into W and you will win (you can buy boots later just dont rush them)”
KaiOverHere says “When you're trading versus him, auto -> e to start off. If he activates E, murder him. If he saves it for your q, whip and disengage with phase rush. You can get a huge lead early this way.
Only reason this matchup isin't in "Tiny" is because Jax is really overtuned right now.”
Nurakami says “Permaban for me you will most likely lose vs him after steelcaps.
Champion JACK.
One bad move and you are dead.
Bait his e with 3q or e and all in then never go in first he must go in first for you to win.
He can go tabi and Frozen Heart and completly cut your dmg while doing a lot by his own.
But he is not good engager as you and don't have a lot of mobility.
”
RykonZ says “Jax is a strong duelist with high damage output and mobility. He can dodge Mordekaiser's abilities with his Counter Strike and can quickly take Mordekaiser down if he gets close.”
Terror Rax says “He can delete most of your damage by blocking your W with his E, and can easily burst you if you're dismounted. His ult gives free stats, so avoid fighting him when he ults if you can.”
Herbietron says “Jax is the reason for me learning Rakan top. Every time he Es you can w and every time he jumps is a guaranteed Q which leads to an outtrade. Care for his short cooldowns and play for sustain and be more useful in team fights. His split late game is also a problem as you get outscaled. ”
KamiKZ says “It´s a fairly easy matchup if you are able to use Void Assault (your ulti) and Leap (your E) correctly to get out of the way of his stun. If you can do that, you´ll have no problem with him as long as you don´t face tank the guy and take all of his hits. With Titanic Hydra and Sterak´s Gage lategame he can be difficult to kill. It´s recommended to go Q evolve if you want to stand a chance in terms of 1v1ing him. Also, R evolve can provide a lot of dueling power as well. ”
BezMemow says “Pick Bone Plating against him. His weakness is the lack of sustain, so make sure to Q poke him. Respect his lvl 1 and lvl 2 transition. Respect him if you don't have your E since without your E you can't do anything or win any trades. Doran Ring start is important as poke is your only win condition. Lvl 6 if he doesn't have a lead it's winnable.
His Q puts him behind you kind of like Irelia Q so he can dodge one of your abilities that way, be mindful especially of your E in that scenario.”
LocaLAM says “Although Jax isn't hard, he's annoying to escape. He'll stick to you with his Q and get rid of your passive with E. He'll also become too tanky with his ult to all in. You can deal with him, sure, but it wouldn't be recommended.”
Smauggy says “he can gap close you, so make sure to be prepared to e on him when he stand at you side+ having some stacks, like that you just run away, if he start e from distance, just run away to not get directly stun”
Drigislav says “he's very good against Draven because his E blocks basic attacks but if he doesn't have cdr on his E then it's the best moment to turn it into him and his Q can be canceled with E at that moment he's completely defenseless”
Loweloexpert says “You win lvl3 but you have to play really safe lvl 1 and 2, if you take a bad trade lvl 1 or 2 you will loose hard the lvl3. Q him and auto one time, he will 100% E before you prox passive, after his E, E him behind you and proc passive, ignite and kill, use W at the very last time possibile and you cant loose. ”
EinfachPingu says “He blocks your main Damage Source in your W and kill you easly if you are Dismounted. Look for bad Ability use from him and puish on him.”
Black Demon Ezel says “Honestly, Jax dodges your empowered autos (E) but he can't block your Q when using his own E. That's your chance to escape his annoying amounts of range to prevent him from leap striking onto you and you will succeed”
sinatra1633 says “Even though he has his counterstrike, you can easily beat him while in dragon form.
Watch out for his lethal tempo and passive in early trades and try to always auto + Q him whenever he tries going for minions in the early game.”
Roothor says “When he uses his counterattack ability, attack the spirit to avoid his inmunity to autoattacks. E+R kills him, even if you might be close to death in the first encounters”
HSY12 says “You don't win unless you're a whole item ahead, and even then he can probably still kill you
Save your E to avoid his cc
Avoid Q3 onto him early because he will jump on you
Try to pull the wave and ask for your jungler
Don't duel him, and understand he always has strong kill potential especially when he hits 6
As always, respect his E. His W cooldown is decently long, so you can punish him while in spirit form when he wastes his E. ”
Nazcore says “Pretty much perma ban. Has incredible sticking power and auto dodge. If they can play their champ to the most minute degree, you lose. Go d-shield, second wind and pray.”
Deathbat1 says “Jax is a very shitty match-up for Sion, but not the worse. You have to win lane to beat Jax and not feed him. If you feed Jax he will outscale you and 1v5”
ARealFakeIdentity says “At least at the moment, Jax is incredible powerful, even if you cancel his W, his E damage is insanely high now and he can easily follow and beat you no matter how fast you are.”
Boptimus says “Jax never has a reliable way to get on to you unless you get in range of him to E and walk at you.
Level 2 Jax players get overly aggressive and just Spam Q-E. What you need to do is E every time he Q's on to you, and then WAIT for your E cooldown. Jax's Q has a short CD so he has small 3-4 second openings to jump on you after failing the first time.
Keep this in mind and this should be a neutral lane until you get Lost Chapter and can start poking with Q.”
Boptimus says “K'Sante has an easier time dealing with Jax than most Tanks, but it can still be difficult if not played properly.
If you take extended fights then Jax will win every time, so you need to take short trades.
If Jax is jumping on you with stun, you can look to avoid it by using your E on the minion wave or cancelling the stun with W.
Before you look for an all in with your R max sure Jax has already used his E.”
illestboy_ says “D Blade + Bone Plating. Contest Early Wave. Start Q. Tether his E level 1. Your E Is A Kiting Tool When Jax E. Beware of his passive and all ins that are absurd. Pedophile ”
SesaPrime says “Counterstrike is the only ability Jax has that makes him a true threat at all to Camille because if he is able to negate your Q damage, you lost that fight.
Standing next to walls at all times is the right strategy to follow so anytime he Leap strikes you have fast reaction to stun & push him away. Do not ever let him free walk up with his Counterstrike or you'll take free damage. ”
Open says “if the jax is your skill or better you auto lose the game
tips : E through him when he counter strikes for trades early game if hes bad you can get lane control and win.”
primate nefasto says “Imposible match up, and now is ever worst. There is no point of game you win 1 vs 1, and in late is even worst. he will dive you and destroy your ass”
Reines Kokosfett says “Level 1 you can ktie him with Q. If he uses E you can all in level 2, other wise just play safe and poke with Q. Always use your E to dodge his E. If you E through him you can get back onto him after his E with your E2. After level 6 you need a health or item advantage to win 1v1.”
DJCraz says “A 1v1 monster. This is a match up to max W in because your autos are not a threat to him. He can stay on top of you and shred so don't get caught out of position. Try to stun with e if you're gonna get stunned by him so you don't get obliterated. His teamfight isn't great so play for that.”
1Yamato1 says “NÃO TROQUE COM ELE LV 1, a partir do lv 2 você começa jogar dando Q nele, se você acerta o W no E dele a troca é sua, eu gosto de sempre tenta da o w no tempo final do E,”
Ulamog says “Conqueror Build; Bone Plating + D Blade. OR
Grasp Build; Bone Plating + D Blade.
Both work.
Parry his E, but make sure he doesn't sidestep it.
There is actually just a 0.25 second window where he can land his E if you W correctly so it's very important to get a feeling for that.
Never let him Q+W poke you for free so always be ready to trade back OR get out of his Q range.”
Biba or OTP Kled says “Tank base:Wait he has a real weapon?dodge his E with your E and dont fight 'cuz he is just better in duels than you kill only with jungler”
Zeffie says “Another really tough lane, he can engage and disengage fairly well as well as stop you stacking E with autos and then turning a fight on you if he gets a stun off. His ult makes him Tankier and he can hurt a lot with BoRK or Sunderer”
Galactities says “When he Q + E's ontop of you W him and walk away from the stun, you dont even win all ins with him when he has 6 unless you're really ahead, When his E + Q are down you can trade with him fairly well.”
Goose727 says “A major threat, especially if they have the Angler Jax skin. When fighting Jax, you gotta be really careful, lest he steals your fish. Everytime Jax goes down river to fish, you lose a major profit. Make sure you don't let that happen.”
PraefectusMace says “Counter attack. You will have to play around his counter attack, basically. Save your Qs for when he is done before slapping him on the fast with it. Keep in mind your R also counts as auto attacks, so don't ult him when he is doing the speeeen.”
Yasuo Is Sexy says “Dude counters your entire kit with one ability. Its doable, but just so unbelievable hard against a good Jax player. You can stack your Q through his E, just so you know. I personally just ban him 'cause I don't want to deal with it.”
Tonho says “Ban/ Dodge Worthy
Deals both AP and AD damage, builds Sunderer, BORK, cancels your entire W damage with his E, gets more armor on R by building straight damage. Wins against you at any stage of the game. You can actually kill him before the first recall if he uses his E poorly and you can full combo him after that, which almost never happens. Besides that, you will have a hell of a time.
”
Smalmeck says “Not a good matchup for gwen very mobile, cc and more damage than gwen can heal. Rush steelcaps, bait his q and his e dash out of his e and keep trades short. This matchup is winnable but not very easy”
Nnorio says “Lvl 2 all in unless he wastes his e.
Always let him engage first pre 6.
Post 6 bait his R and walk away then the 1v1 is easy.
1v1 tips:
If he EQ's you, use ur E on him and walk away till his E dissipates, all in afterwards.
You can also just hold W when he all ins you.
Whoever snowballs first wins dont get cocky lvl 6 because his ult is broken in a 1v1.
”
Oikaton says “This matchup is easy if you just dont engage on jax, just wait till jax jumps on you and you can e towards his escape route and all in. You win if he uses e for nothing. Remember that jax outscales you.”
SunLongGod says “really hard matchup. Jax can cancel your W, or AA through you healing. You should take Graph, because none of your AA will work when he use E anyway. Yi's Q applies on hit effect like graph, use this chance to poke him with Q minions to reach him or Q him when E. DONOT attack him when he E, his E increase damage when you attack. 1 Trick I usually use when facing his E is turn my back pretend to Running then immediately Q him, this will mostly work 1-3 times. STAY SAFE and WAIT for gank”
Pep_Shin says “Really hard matchup.
If he goes Lethal tempo, you'll never be able to beat him in lane
If he goes conqueror or grasp :
Try to rush boots / earthbound axe, the bonus movespeed allows you to outrun his E if you slow him with Q.
Level 1 you can try to fight him and get a lead.
Once he hits lvl 2 it becomes hard to fight him.
Try to farm as much as possible so you can have enough stats to kill him once 6.
Use your W at 30%HP for the biggest shield, you're gonna need it.
Poke him as much as possible with E-Q combo as long as you're in your wave.
If he falls to midlife you can win an all in.
If he gets a lead you're fucked.
Just hope for your team to help.”
NegativePhoenix says “For an old champ, he still packs one hell of a punch. You can easily W his E so it's riskier to go in, but in terms of trades he should beat you the longer a trade goes on. Just W his stun if he goes in for it but don't over-extend the trade if you don't have to or he'll still get the most out of it. I'd heavily, HEAVILY wait to All-Out till his E is down otherwise you lose right away, and he packs one hell of a punch all around so this requires more of a skill test.”
Babuleh says “Старт доран блейд w e q макс q e w
Самонеры флеш тп/тп игнайь
Персонаж которого описывают 1 словом: додж. Матчап сложный, но не невозможный, просто стоит принять факт, что его ошибка стоит в разы меньше вашей. Вы сильнее первые 5 уровней за исключением первого, на котором джакс попробует отзонить вас ешкой. Как только у джакса заканчивается ешка, а у вас есть пассивка вы сильнее. Во время лейнфазы стоит держаться у стен, дабы сразу отталкивать джакса при влете своей ешкой(только если он использует свою при прыжке на вас). Ваша кушка не отменяется станами, из-за чего дав кушку под конец ешки джакса вы нанесете ему урон и получите щит. Ещё следует стараться доджить его стан ультой по получении 6го уровня, ведь обычно они отменяют ешку и сразу дают ульт, из-за чего вы доджите сразу 2 кнопки. Но стоит банить этот матчап. ”
GannicusTTV says “Jax is one of the most fun and easy match ups. At lvl 1 he can win with counterstrike and lethal tempo. Most good jax players will force a trade at lvl 1, in this case just walk away and avoid getting hit by the stun, if you can't help it, pull your sword to proc your passive and deny some damage. Poke him whenever you have grasp available, and if he walks up to you to stun you, walk to him and E out immediately, this way you can stun him while dashing away from his counterstrike AoE to avoid the stun.
Immediately turns and hit him, and you should win. Use your W to block his W after you start trading, and at lvl 6 you can preventively use W to block his Burst (W+Q+3rd Auto R passive). If he turns his ultimate just E out using the same strategy and wait for ultimate effect to go away.
He outscales you if he rushes bork or divine sundering, especially rushing heartsteel. once you get frozenheart and plated, he is not much of an issue as long as you didn't feed him or let him take free plates/cs. either ignite or tp works here”
lorensj81 says “13.1 patch >>> The NEW updated Jax might heavily change this lane, we will see how lane is after I have played it some more! >>>
This matchup starts as an easy lane, you start E and spin on him, he has no sustain, and when he is about to activate his counterstrike on you just press W to reduce damage and stun duration. Do NOT use Q into his counterstrike, save it for after he used it, can use it to try and dodge his E stun.
This will turn into a very hard 1v1 lategame, he will just outscale you. So make sure you win as hard as possible early so you can win game before he become the 1v9 machine.”
Irelius says “Не деремся на лвл 1. Жмем W на его E или уходим из неё кушкой. Не деремся, как у него настакана пассивка. Как и с Сеттом абузим его маленькую дальность атаки и наказываем за ластхиты, если он промазал ешкой. Емли вы сможете таким образом ухитриться дать две безответные автоатаки, вы выиграете. Костяная пластина мастхев. Мачап на 100% играбелен, но чем дальше по игре, тем сильнее Джакс райткликает. С лвл 3 до 11 мачап ровный. Позже — начинаются СУЩЕСТВЕННЫЕ проблемы. Он аутскейлит на сайдлинии, вы сильнее в тимфайтах”
Januar says “Can dash into you and gets less damage by spinning. Try to use your W and go back a little at the moment he jump to you, so you can crit your Qs.”
Puyi says “You can beat him in short trades early if you shield his W AA and W his counter strike. Can't duel him after 3 items, but you should be ahead by then. ”
Irelius says “Dont fight lvl 1. W his E or Q out of it. Dont fight when he has passive stacked up. Abuse his 125 attack range, kite that lampman. If you manage to sneak in a pair of AAs, you'll win. Bone plating is insane against him. Matchup is 100% winnable, but you really need to play out of your mind.
If you are not significantly ahead, he hard outscales you at sidelane. Look for teamfights.
”
Azekar says “Conqueror+Bone Plating.
Start Doran Ring.
Ghost+Ignite or Ignite+Teleport.
Contrary to popular belief again, Jax is a simple matchup for Gwen. Rush Tabi. On lane if he activates his E - you use yours and run away from him. Keep in mind that you won't do any good fighting Jax whose E is active, but also remember that his Counterstrike won't block damage from your Q. Smart.”
JustSad42 says “This matchup is unwinnable in a 1v1 if the Jax takes ignite and you don't have ignite unless he misplays extremely hard. You never want to Q into the Jax, you want to start with an auto attack into E. Once Jax casts his E, you Q away. If he Qs you, then you want to W him. The biggest way to consistently win this matchup is getting used to using parry on Jax when he jumps onto you with Q. It’s much more consistent to parry Jax during his jump rather than trying to predict when he’ll recast E to stun you. As long as you hit Jax with your W, you’ll be able to win the fight. A big thing to note is that after level 6, if you W-R Jax and he uses E, you can just walk out of his E range with your movement speed from your R passive. You don’t need to Q out of his E, letting you save your Q to run him down more easily.”
JustSad42 says “In my experience, the only trades you can win against Jax is when you're close to your turret and you use your longer AA range to hit him and auto space him.
The main thing is to look for free damage on him where he doesn't quite want to E to block it, or if he does, you can engage after his E is over and all-in to beat him. (Fights close to your turret only)
This is a bad matchup that requires you to be mechanically skilled or for Jax to be bad.”
dexcellent says “taunt from point blank, away from him when he spins his sh1t, or bait it out then all in. he outscales you lategame, but if you can outplay his stun like i mentioned, you beat him.”
SrMolinv says “Its placed at 3 but should be a 2. Jax is really easy for Riven. Riven wins until Jax has divine + Tabis. Respect his R as he becomes really tanky.
Best way to trade is walking up and doing Q W auto and back off. Poke him a lot until he cant lane. If you can keep the wave close to your tower he has a hard time.”
SuperPlaysHD says “Play around his E cooldown, you can also bait his E with your W and then go in. You cant do much in here I usually just take exhaust and wait for my jungler.”
Akalimetall says “Jax is, like Tryndamere, a splitpushing champion. In addition to that, he is able to kill you in laning phase if you don't pay attention whether he has is stun ready. You can still kill him though and if you end the game fast enough, your roaming impact will be bigger than his splitpushing impact.”
V1kt0r555 says “[Summoner Spell: Ignite]
[Starting Item: Doran's Ring]
[Don't fight him when his E is up]
[Poke him with your Q]
[Pull him back with your E when he jumps on you]
[Use your R when he uses his R first]
[Buy Bramble Vest]”
TwTvRANGERZX says “Winnable earlygame. very difficult late.
In earlygame, trade by just walking up and autoattacking him until he uses E. When he does, just E out through him. If he wastes E, look for an aggressive all-in.
Play aggressively early since he outscales you hard.”
Antisocial_Renekton says “Dont fight lvl 1, you can poke him with q as long as you dont get turned on by jacula and all inned.
Try to prevent his cheater.
Past lvl 1 and before 1st item you re much stronger, so abuse him.
Poke him with q as much as you can, keep e for his q e.
Get lead early and abuse him, or you cant sidelane past his 1 item.
With good timing you can w him in his e. Practice it before trying in games.
Rush tabi.”
RandumPersin says “Very rough matchup, take PTA and ask for jungle help ASAP. If you dump w into his counterstrike, it counts as 2 or 3 autos into his damage amp and you will 100% lose that trade + die in lane. A singular kill against you on this champ makes your game unplayable, rush steelcaps and use Q to harass. In lane, our W and E are ALWAYS up for us to use - if they aren't, Jax has a window to get a really juicy trade on us. Do not contest the wave at level 1, wait for 2 and then try to keep trades as short as possible going forwards. He hard outscales us and is a better duelist, so look to make an impact on the game through teamfighting and being a massive presence at objective fights”
LeyzeHP says “Grasp/Conqueror/Fleet
Eclipse/Divine
(find what's better for you into him, options are fleet/conqueror with Eclipse and Divine with Grasp or when behind)
You can W2 Jax E stun, but it would be better to E2 him and go to the bush safely. You beat him as long as you play for fast and short trade, space him out with his minions and lane should be good. After 6 you might get oneshotted by the 0 2 Jax, nothing special. You can win with not too much effort the matchup tho, you are better for roams, ganks, and can follow your team plays better.”
JT Andrew says “Jax Is Very Funny Match Up Because Jax's E can dodge your Auto's And Your W Can Dodge Every Auto's. so jax is permanently Ban. On may opinion ”
Smudey says “Very easy matchup since you are stronger than him early unless you throw the lead. Place your blade up and punish him for taking CS because you easily win short trades when Jax can't stack up his passive (and LT/Conq). Don't E into him, but use it against his E by standing inside him and taunting through him so he doesn't get to stun you. Repeat until you win lane. If you don't, he outscales you. Warden's Mail early can help.”
Fizzy says “An extremely aggressive lane for both, always be careful with yours And if he hits he can kill you easily, so always keep the parry for that. "Note when you click on jax you can see on the top side, the time left for his E to finish, when it's more or less halfway through it's time to use parry"”
Cheeseypops1 says “Other than fiora this is your worst match up by far, untill you get Riftmaker he beats you in short trades and all ins if you ever miss one Ability, Try to Q poke him level 1, level 2 dont go near him at all but at level 3 you can fight him if you have a full W shield But if he jumps onto you with his Counterstike up try to pull him behind you this will make him miss the stun and then if you have W you can usually just beat him in an all in, Good Jax's will dodge this though but it works in sub master almost everytime, Try to freeze on him it's the only postion in the lane where you have the advantage, But even though its very hard to get a lead if you do, match ups free and you can just poke him to oblivion and roll him, When you see jax just know you're in for a rough one. Rush Steelcaps”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Aim to trade when Jax has used his E as it will block basic attacks. It has a long cooldown, so make sure you exploit his weakness. After level 6, every third auto will deal extra magic damage. Do not commit to extended trades with him- especially if he’s been able to stack his auto attacks on minions beforehand.”
bemix95 says “Take grasp runes. Never use E before his E. Go for 1 basic attack and then spin back. Against Jax its all about early game, if you win it you can stomp him hard. If you lose it will be really hard to fight him later.”
RuchaczSzmat69 says “You counter him, stand on your barrel and if he jumps on you with QE, just auto it and run away with ur bonus movement speed and him being slowed, then when his E ends turn back, auto passive him and you win every fight, try to not let him stack his passive on minions.”
hamgi says “his e dodges on-hit attacks (yone's q, w and aa) as well as stuns at the very end of it. it can be held or recasted early, so always keep ur distance. u can use q3/e, and if absolutely necessary, r/flash to get away before or after he q's onto u, if at all. as a mana champ, he can comfortably build frozen heart, and with the re-introduction of shojin, his cd's become incredibly short. he can q to an ally unit (including wards), which forces u to have the best positioning at all times, especially with ur e, as he can easily engage or disengage. his r gives him armor/mr and his passive gives him stacks for every aa, which can be empowered even further with w. jax is easy to poke but hard to fight as once he burns his e, u can land ur q/w/aa. he strikes back harder due to his passive, w, and r so short trades and landing ur q3 is essential. he typically starts with corrupting pots and rushes bork, so look to get an early executioner's (or even bramble), bring ignite, or match his 1v1 potential with bork first urself, or a combination of all. he is a mana champ, so use that to ur advantage and fight him when he's low on it. dont let him freeze against u and avoid letting him hit ur tower as his w resets on structures”
MrSIrPops says “You can kill him easily in the early game but in the mid - late game whatever you do he is probably going to run you down with his attack speed and Blade of the ruined King . Play aggresive in the early game but try to keep him away from your team when you are in teamfights.”
KTLexz says “FF GO NEXT LMAO
even while fed jax can still eat your ass while feeding his brains out, his dash and counter strike make it impossible to win he is just an unbeatable stat checker for kindred so i would just advise banning or dodging this one”
TRIAD3S says “A good Jax is a hard matchup. He is better early and most of the time he is better in late duels as well.
Buy heal reduction, max Q and after max W. Like Darius, wait for lvl 9 or 11.
In late game try to avoid him.”
StingingChicken says “Can't empowered w into him when he has E ready. Q spam the fuck out of him and if he E's you have 2 options: If you can turn and kill him, E the stun and then turn with W. If not, W him and walk out of the helicopter. Don't do this with 5 stacks though, you will stand inside the E and triple auto then get stunned. If he's low look for 4 stack W-Empowered Q-E to finish him so he cant block the empowered w. Need a lead but you should get one easily in this matchup.”
spaghalli says “Jax is also an oppressive counter for Kalista due to his E and gap-closing abilities. If you are placed in this matchup, play around his E (counter strike) and don't attack him when it's active because he will do bonus damage for each attack dodged. Stay out of range of his Q by using Martial Poise on minions to kite back.”
Crazy Billy Bob says “Jax is a natural counter to auto attack based champions, kled is one of them, if they know what they're doing they'll play like a teemo and save their E for your W, you can punish them if they use it recklessly”
AdventurousBoldJourney says “Worthwhile ban, can be outplayed by starting W and W-ing his stun right before he uses it for a guaranteed true damage hit, but he outscales you after a few items. ”
TwTv EUWXYZ says “skillmatchup as well, u can get cheesed lvl 1/2/3 u always need to try to press E after he presses Q on u rly good here is if u step up to wave press W into Q (w cancel animation) he will most likely press E after the entire combo and u get a free trade + free E without using ur E”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Aim to trade when Jax has used his Counter Strike(E) as it will block basic attacks. It has a long cooldown, so make sure you exploit his weakness. Jax has no build-in sustain and is melee. If you have the range advantage, try to poke and harass him as much as possible to prevent him from looking for the all-in. This will also force him to burn through his potions quickly. After level 6, every third auto will deal extra magic damage. Do not commit to extended trades with him, especially if he’s been able to stack his auto attacks on minions beforehand.”

kajinator says “Conqueror and Flash + Ignite because you can semi-force good extended trades with Jax. Don't be afraid of his E just W it and when the stun expires hit him with Q + full E spin and watch his health bar disappear since he doesn't have any spells up except for his W which won't do him much good.”

Evandabank says “Jax has the ability to block all of Kled's W Autos which is Kleds fastest and most reliable way of remounting. If Jax has his E available when you are dismounted, you cannot remount. This matchup becomes extremely favored for Jax after level 5 and even if you get a kill before then, he outscales you at his one item spike. Jax is the champion that I recommend you ban when you play Kled. It really isn't hard to play Jax into Kled and although Fiora is a harder lane... There are some terrible Fiora players.”
BreadyToCrumble says “I personally don't have much trouble in the Jax matchup as others make it out to be, but it's still quite hard. I personally take Comet and Q max in this build and just poke him from a distance as much as I can in lane. Try to ult when he jumps onto you with counter strike and you'll block a lot of follow up damage while also guaranteeing the damage from your ultimate. ”

Oogaboogaga says “Level 1 you can E his counter strike and if he oversteps, kill him with ignite. With the new lethal tempo i think this is no longer optimal. Play safe. Be wary of his 6 + 3rd hits”
Kandrashun says “Hard champ to fight as his stun lasts forever, and he will kill you during that time before you can ult, if he is ahead. Worth giving a bann.”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Aim to trade when Jax has used his Counter Strike(E) as it will block basic attacks. It has a long cooldown, so make sure you exploit his weakness. Jax has no build-in sustain and is melee. If you have the range advantage, try to poke and harass him as much as possible to prevent him from looking for the all-in. This will also force him to burn through his potions quickly. After level 6, every third auto will deal extra magic damage. Do not commit to extended trades with him, especially if he’s been able to stack his auto attacks on minions beforehand.”

KaiOverHere says “(Updated 8/4, wanted to see what would happen if I went against a Jax player who can reaction Q) (PR, Flash + IGN)
Jax can React to your Q with his E, kind of like Fiora. However, if he prefires his E you can E during it, W when he stuns you and get a Q in after. It kind of just depends on how smart the Jax is, but optimally this matchup is hard. If you can manage to get a lead in the first 5 levels that's really good, as that's his weakest point. However, most Jax players understand that pre-6, Garen's kill pressure is low, and they'll take C-pots and brute force wave control. Not too much you can do about it.
Honestly however I wouldn't take my word on this matchup. I'm honestly really confused as to why this matchup seems so much harder recently, and most Garen mains seem to think this matchup is piss easy.
”
Duwiiton says “Deals far too much damage and can leave short-trades at any time. Nautilus is best when short-trading, but Jax controls the trades in this matchup.”
kam1k says “1. After lvl 3 Just W to Jax on maximum range and kite back 2. Farm with AA's only. 3. Dont try Q if he has Q. 4. If he E = press E+kite back+Q Jax always stronger with his passive+lethal tempo stacks(60%attack speed on lvl1). 1) You cant start Q because he will evade it with Q+W on you and beat you in your minions with counter-strike. 2)Jax E cd 14s-8s; Darius E 24s-14s cd. You cant also start trade with e-w-q like vs Garen because he will jump on you after and gg. You cant to start with autoattacks, he will make more damage with more attacks+w. Right way to beat Jax after 3 lvl is start with W on him (not autoattack+W) Just W to Jax on maximum range and kite back. Jax W < Darius W+ 1stack passive. When you passive stack is gone your W ready again. Its ok to lose some minions and taking agro. Try to farm with only Auto's. Then everything is simple. If he wants to continue he will jump on you, do AA+E+Q+Ghost. If Jax continue the fight with his minions with max attackspeed then press W, kite him behind, lose minions agro and go back with q, dont lose your pasive stacks. You can ban him on high elo”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Aim to trade when Jax has used his E as it will block basic attacks. It has a long cooldown, so make sure you exploit his weakness. After level 6, every third auto will deal extra magic damage. Do not commit to extended trades with him- especially if he’s been able to stack his auto attacks on minions beforehand.”
Elresser says “As I played this matchup more and more I found it to be quite easy. First of all, get plated steelcaps. And you never engage with Q. You save Q for when he uses his E to push his away around 1.5 seconds after he starts it.”
Larkana_ says “ACTIVE: Jax enters Evasion, a defensive stance, for 2 seconds, causing all non-turret basic attacks against him to be dodged. Jax also takes 25% reduced damage from all champion area of effect abilities. Counter Strike can be recast after 1 second.
At the end of the duration, Jax stuns all nearby enemies for 1 second and deals physical damage to them, increased by 20% for each attack dodged, up to a 100% increase.”

BLYX says “Jax is hard to play against. Save your E for when he jumps on you with his Q, and stall time until his E is on cooldown. Only take short trades with him, or else you'll lose every fight.”

CosmicTurtle88 says “Extremely easy unless Jax is REALLY good. Be careful of his Level 1 trade with E, if he tries it then Q him, walk out, then walk back in. If you space like this you'll win the trade
even level 1. Later on if he E's try and eat him since the time used is irrelevant if you can't auto him. Rush bramble and take ignite if you want to make this even easier. ”
UlisesFRN says “Jax outscales you pretty hard, also snowballs like crazy, and can win you fairly easy in lane. Asking for ganks is the name of the game. You can take ignite or exhaust”
MTSungur says “even if he relies on his e and uses it carelessly he always has the chance to beat you. play with your jungler. if he makes a mistake punish it or ban him.”
Farmer Cleetus says “I outfight him no matter what. Just make sure you dodge his E and then you can instantly go all-in against him, as he cannot counter your Auto Attacks and your Q (Empowered Auto Attack) anymore. Make sure to CC him before you use your W as he can jump out without any problem with his Q from your True Damage or use your ultimate then E in order to press W for dealing more damage. He's always a minor threat to me personally as he cannot outfight a Sett in the early and even in mid-late phase. Recommended use is Lethal Tempo Sett as you outfight him completely by it. Believe me, going normal build with lethal tempo is also very strong on sett.”
TENTAKILL ILLAOY says “В ранней игре Джакс может сделать выгодный трейд и вы вероятно уже не камбекните, но в случае если вы обыграли его, до лейта вы здесь босс.
Легкий матчап, не деритесь когда джакс стоит в своих крипах, тогда вы не сможете вовремя использовать E.
W на E Джакса, атака не нанесет урон, щупальца не нападут. Дайвите его, не давая ему фармить, душите ешкой, если джакс смог застанить вас, а вы не успели дать ешку, ИЛИ ПРОМАХНУЛИСЬ, то вы наверное уже умерли.”
Maxpiku says “Бедняжка. Не-о-чем. Контрим весь его скилсет, блочим W + выходим из E = 300 голды. После 6ого может и танкануть, но всеравно он не о чем. Но желательно таби все же собрать.”
fodlybod says “Worst matchup for Volibear. Get lane prio, do not engage on him. Try to bait his E with your Q as his E stun will reset your Q. A Jax without E is a all in moment. Build Anathema's into Rift maker into Frozen Heart to make him no longer a threat.”
Taiquyorah says “Bien que Jax outscale GP, il reste un peu intimidant si vous n'arrivez pas pas exploser un baril lorsqu'il vous dash dessus.
Si vous arrivez à l'exploser, alors jax ne peut pas faire grand chose.
Toujours avoir un barils proche de soi et prêt à exploser, sinon jax gagne tout les jours !
MU légèrement à l'avantage de GP”
NegativePhoenix says “Heavily good mobility to choose fights as he pleases and easily able to counter your abilities at most game stages. His Q makes yours way harder to land on him since he can jump to minions, wards and champions with it. His E also makes yours useless and stuns you, so there's no point in attacking him if he has it up and he gains magic damage and resistance with his ult. Your Ult doesn't lose any power against his ult when he has it active however, and you can always silence him if need be. Do not engage him without help as he will beat you in almost every fight at nearly every stage. He won't make himself easy to kill or to hit.”
Yiphen says “If his E is down, go in and skirmish. He can be kited. If it's up, try to bait out his E + Q combo by AAing him whenever he hits a minion. If he gets baited, wait for him to Q and then Q away. Freeze wave in front of tower. Dance.”
Groovywelsh says “Try to kill jax when his E is down jax's E has 14seconds of cd at lvl1 tryndamere has 12 on his e and you can also reset tryndamere's E with crits.If jax E+Q's you just E back and try to get crits on minions so you can jump on him because if jax does not have e he will not win against you. Try to bait his E for example auto him and then cancel the auto attack sometimes when they see that they will E”
WildSamu says “DBlade+Red Pot.
I hate this matchup, so my opinion might be a bit biased.
His E is an abomination. He is meant to be a scaling champ but he just beats you at every stage of the game.
The only advice I can give you, is to try and kite his E with your E and go for short trades.
You really want to space well so that he can't jump on you whenever he wants.
If he is good he will keep his E and you can never engage on him.
If you see him R just disengage if you can, as he gets a lot of free stats.
He outscales you and will 1tap you lategame.
”
meduselolol says “i hate this matchup it's my ban. You can win this matchup by w the e then turning with q with autos. People say to ult the e. This is wrong if you do that you just get run down with his ult.”
Zorroh says “Jax can be a tough matchup because he is able to close the gap easily with his point and click dash on Q. Try not to auto him during counterstrike because it increases in damage the more autos he reflects. Focus heavily on taking short trades. Whenever Jax Q's forward try to E away and space him. Keep in mind his Q is a really short cooldown so after he Q's forward try not to tunnel after him for too long before he is able to go back in. Even in Mega you want to still take short trades against Jax. Fleet is the best rune for this matchup IMO since it helps space him easier but grasp and conqueror are also acceptable. ”
PENTAKILL LETS GO says “If he's a little fed, you can't do nothing in 1vs1, even if you dodge his stun and don't miss any of your R. You don't really outscale him so be careful.”
FARMANDO TORRES says “Now, this is just pure pain as i hate this matchup so much.
Basically Jax makes you useless when he presses E as it cancels your minions, your Q and anything that tries to attack him in that time AND after that immunity is done he stuns you and while you are stunned he can just massacre you or run away from you pressing Q at a ward or minion.
Really not fun to play against as Yorick or any AD AA champion based.”
dostss says “This matchup you dodge before the game happens.
If you forgot, try poking with q and e out the lack of vision won't let him jump on you, and after the E is down all in him.”
Rinkashime says “When he presses E (Counterstrike) activate your E followed by your W to reduce the stun. Your ultimate will finish him off through his ultimate since resistances don't stop true damage. Try baiting his E before pressing Q.”
VituVonDoom says “Use your hammer E to knock him back whenever he E's to try and stun you. Do no panick if he jumps on you with no counter-strike on sight, hammer combo him and kite back to safety while he takes his entire health in a single deal. Run the Conq page, you can stack it faster than he can satck LT, and kill him faster as a result.”
SilviuGarg13 says “His E is your biggest enemy, if you can't get those AA while your Q and W is down, you can't really do much to him, that's just common sense”
HalexUwU says “He runs you down, stuns you, and there's not a lot you can do about it. I'd consider perma banning him, but it's really up to you... hard matchup, nearly unwinnable without jungle. ”
Michcio says “Pretty easy lane if u use your barrels correctly. W his stun, place barrel underneath you if its possible for him to Q and it should be easy lane. If u fail tho he can snowball hard so focus”
xSamuraii says “Literally one of the easiest matchups for Rammus. Take corrupted potion. Play safe until level 3, after that it's free lane assuming he doesn't kill you. W+E his engage and he'll lose more life than you without you even needing to hit him. He outscales you but if you play correctly, the game will be over before he reaches level 11.”
Baby Sona says “Once Jax hits level 6 his potential comes in handy and he starts and will outscale you. He will beat and bully you during laning phase and he can kill you in your Ultimate if he builds the right items.”
Aberrant Demon says “Your E range is 25 higher than Jax's E range but that doesn't really matter because Jax can just take Corrupting Potion and Time Warp Tonic. Do NOT ego Q into him while his E is not on cooldown. It's not a "mind game", you just are being lazy. Any competent Jax will respond with E as soon as they see you start the leap. Avoid trades early, especially if he has more than 2 stacks on his passive. An easy way to avoid dealing with his passive is to look to fight him when you are slow pushing the wave and avoid trading when he is pushing into you. Use your E when he starts his E and block the stun with your W. He has 1 second to use his stun and your W tenacity lasts .75 seconds. Wait just a tiny bit after he can recast with E and then use your W. If you use it too early and he holds the recast, you lose the trade hard. Once you are both level 6, you win trades as long as he doesn't have his passive stacked. If you wait for him to waste his Ult passive, it's even more favorable for you. Your Ult goes through his Ult resistances so it's pretty straight forward. Once you have Stridebreaker, you can start trades with Q because it still counts towards Phase Rush. You just Q, E, Stridebreaker and run away before he can do anything to you.”
Galactities says “I hate this lane so much. Jax is just so boring and annoying to deal with. His 6 power spike + bork just deletes your health bar. The best you can do is wait for him to jump on you and you E while he has his E on you and when he runs Q after him and trade back. His lethal tempo makes all in's really bad.”
Galactities says “I find that if the Jax can pop E, Q onto you and you just cant fight him, your autos get canelled, your W gets cancelled and he can just hit a super quick trade and leave. Plus his Armor ult. You literally have zero counter play just hope that he doesnt have a brain and you should be good”
TrinityForceYasuo says “Level 1 stay in your max Q range so he will not be able to get on top of you with his E-> Level 2 do not walk up. Let the wave push to you -> Once the wave comes close to your tower you can look for some small trades -> Using E+Q3+W for quick trades -> Early he is kinda weak when his abilities are on CD especially his E -> Freeze waves -> Poke/Punish when he walks up for cs when ever it is safe to do so -> When the wave is pushing to you DO NOT GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO GET ON YOU -> Level 6 with his R he gets surprisingly tanky so do not get fooled that you can kill him when he looks somewhat killable -> If he jumps on you with Q you can E away to dodge his E stun and go back for a clean/quick trade using W to absord some damage etc -> Kite him when he is chasing you and can not get on top of you while you poke with Qs”
NegativePhoenix says “Jax is a menace to unaware players. He always levels E first unless he's a menace to himself, so use your E to walk away from his. He wont land it unless he's right on top of you, or flashes [which would be dumb]. When his E is down is a good chance to land Q pokes to avoid buffing his E stun damage. For the most part that's his main threat. If you can land some good Qs early he has to be more cautious about engaging you. You can try to W to avoid his E if you're quick enough so he can't Q on you unless inside the mist. Just avoid fighting him when his passive is stacked or the fight will go more in his favor”
RanDomGuY060 says “Very hard match up, open up W first just in case and Max W. Press W when he stuns you with E or , when he's E is open press E to stun him back and go for a trade. R when he is going to stun you. DONT go with him to trade before 6. ”
MeechyDarko says “Try to gain a lead on him pre 6, when you are stronger and able to whittle him down with W. Post-6, don't try to solo kill him. Keep him from taking your towers and try to gain a lead through objectives and teamfights, where Camille has the advantage. If you absolutely have to fight him 1v1, dodging his stun with R is a must. ”
IcunoX says “This is just such an easy lane, make sure you don't E before he Q's a lot of the time untill you are confident in your strength. Everytime he jumps on you, you can interrupt the damage and hit him with a combo, then running away with phase rush, its just really simple.”
The Kled Mob says “Don't get hit by his E and take extended trades, He can Q into your Q so make sure you E-Q him to confirm outer Q hit. Take plated if losing.”
Potent213 says “Runes:
PTA,
Goal in lane:
To beat him in fights, get a freeze and deny him resources.
Wave 1-4:
Poke down with Q in front vitals, try to bait his E before Q'ing in, or do Q's that aren't reactable, he will most likely get prio, so win on level 3 and onwards.
Tips:
In the early laning with front vitals you can look to do short Q's, he cannot react to them and similarly to the riven matchup they might use E too early and whiff it without you needing to do anything, you just need to bluff the Q.
Before level 6 you can look to parry his E if he always does it in the same way, although parrying his jump or W is really fine, often times holding parry for after his E is a really good tactic as well!
Kite and poke him down if possible, then look to all in.
When he is level 6 you can look to parry his jump for the as slow and bait his E to then you can respond by using Q out.
Note that you can use tiamat to proc vitals despite his E, use this for movespeed and ultimate procs.
If he gets early armor boots, play sort of passive until you get Hydra, you'll beat him then.”
LegitLechner says “Illaoi wins 1v1's if you dont fight with his passive stacked. If youre gonna get stunned by his counterstrike- use the time to throw an e. make up for the lost animation time. Play safe pre 3/6 ”
BiriRamen says “Jax can whoop your ass if you don't rush some armor. Hope you kill him early, so you can power spike with a wardens or something, become unkillable before he kills you is how I go about this matchup”
verikukko says “The hardest counter pick for Volibear, Jax's E just absolutely destroys Volibear cause it completely blocks our Q and W. Against Jax, I recommend building VERY tanky, cause our best chance of winning fights is to not take too much free damage during his E.
Consider banning Jax or dodging this matchup.”
Scallywag says “Very easy matchup.
Always have a barrel on top of you.
If he jumps on you just pop the barrel and run away.
He shouldn't be able to kill you, unless you are too far away from your turret and he has some items.”
Saint_gustaf says “Top
jax is one of if not the biggets counter to Kayle. His jump stund will get u killd very fast and u will need to get 6 or 11 to have a chanse to fight him. ”
Atmoist says “Pretty fair matchup, he can stop you Q'ing him so if you're going for an all in hold ur q and try get ahead of whatever direction he is heading so you can just bonk him after he stuns you.”
Captain__Archie says “The only way to beat Jax 1v1 is to dodge his E stun with your Q. To do so, Q onto minions since your untargetability lasts longer when you Q a minion wave.”
SilverAvalanche says “Bully: You just Q poke him and if he jumps on you then you just E him and he can't do anything, it becomes even harder for him when you hit level 6, you just poke him until he is low and then all in him. Jax has to go AP to have a useful ult against you, but if he goes AP then he is grieving.”
FlayMan says “Jax just simply cant do anything to you, his e is HARD countered by your w, and after it is gone you can just trade back on him. Eventually you will have poked him to the point that you can just all in him.”
Trundledaddy says “I have mental block in this lane cause of counter strike, if you don't get stunned by his e, you can win, ult his ult, use W to kite around to dodge his stun, pillar after his Q, he does scale really well so be careful.”
LoucasTitan says “Jax is one of the biggest counters to Yorick because Jax can block ghoul damage and Jax has r and w, in which if you are not careful enough you will really lose your lane. There is a counter to Jax, and it is the Grudge. The catch is that Jax will shine in the mid-game, so be cautious and try to let him push the wave and farm safely until you get the grudge.It is a boring lane. At the same time, it is a nightmare. Some jax players will q on to you mindlessly, so try to w yourself so you can kite jax. It will give you a disadvantage in the fight. Conqueror is my recommended rune in this situation because you can't trade with him early game due to Jax's w, so Conqueror will shine in the fight.
”
powerfullgeo says “If his E is down he's dead. If he tries to engage with Q E on you, E away. Simple lane of short trades and dodging his stun. Go get your free win”
Kurose0027 says “Skill matchup, generally you want to parry when he jumps onto you with Q early game, and then trade or else q away when he presses counter strike. Can save parry for his E, need to be aware that you should not walk up to him without Q being up. Very snowball one sided matchup when one person gets ahead of the other in this matchup.”
davidbiton1 says “jax is annoying early game but in mid game he becomes a beast, but if you push the game towards the late game he will be not that good. i recommend the tank build against him.”
TSmash says “Use your E while his E is active, in the timing it will explodes, run while his ult is active, return after it ends and leave him if he uses Q”
gytross says “Your life steal let's you win if he decides to all in. Your R has HUGE potential in close fights since you can get about 1/4 of your full hp with one Q and if you hit Q3 you'll deal huge damage and heal. If you can proc passive after you win EASILY unless behind. ”
KyleTheConqueror says “Easy. Just wait out his stun. You win. you'll outscale him for most of the game. If you reach the late game, you might need more help than you wanted.
(DAMAGE, SPEED)”
Kat_Alien says “This champion don't care about your attacks when he just presses his helicopter ability (E). You can't win a fight against him 1 vs 1. Wait even in Teamfight when he wastes this ability to go in if you have to focus him.”
Hawkkiller105 says “He's not a hard match up nor an easy one but you'll just need to play safe and try to keep him from getting kills, assists, or even cs. Try to always find a way to abuse the mistakes that he will make ”
Federals1 says “Jax is an incredibly difficult matchup for Volibear. He can dodge both Volibear q and w. His ultimate giving him mixed resistances is also very bad, as he can tank your magic damage e a lot better than other champions, not to mention the 25% damage reduction to aoe spells on his e. Should be a permanent ban as it is probably Volibear's worst matchup in the entire game. However if he is open:
Doran's ring works best into him. Second rune page should be used. Anathema's Chain rush can work, and then a bramble vest. Ghost+Ignite are the preffered summoner spell choices. Q max is needed.”
PandoraPanda14 says “With bork he does crazy dmg but you can punish him early. If he tries to e stun you, you can pull him so you are both stun locked in a way. Care for his leap into ur q. Lvl 6 dont underestimate his dmg.”
Nekoparry says “///////////////////////////ENGLISH//////////////////////////
There are 2 types of Jax players, the bad ones who will engage you without passive and will wait for their E to reactivate automaticly, so you can easily parry him, and the good jax players. To beat a good Jax player you need to buy boots early, so you can kite his E, try to poke him with your Q in early and if he jumps on you don't panic. Good Jax players will change the time where they recast their E so you can't predict his E stun, so the best way to fight him, is by waiting about 2 seconds of his E and then parry, this won't always work, but there's 2 options: 1- you parry the stun and demolish him 2- you don't parry the stun but he doesn't dmg you a lot since you slowed his Atk speed. Have care when he has his passive since it really makes a difference. Tabis help a lot in this matchup and if they have a good amount of ADs with a lot of atk speed you can buy Frozen heart.”
gazibulle says “The hardest Camille matchup, should be a permaban every single game if you plan on playing Camille. He wins early game, he wins mid game and he wins late game. The only hope you have before he becomes a huge stat stick champion is early game if he doesn't play very well. Level 1 you start W as you can't autoattack him (lol). Level 2 you take E since he will take his Q, and you must stick to a wall everytime and continue spamming your W on him; he will Q then E into you and then you can do a quick E to stun him and get out. An other option you have is standing in the middle of the lane, and sometimes bad Jacques will Q-E into you, if that's the case just tank his damage then buffer you E onto a wall, you will get stunned but you have enough time to E onto him again, if you hit him and you have your shield you can take the trade, but don't overextend if he's like mid HP or more. You are basically an insect in this matchup, with Jax nibbling you to death. Once he is 6 with above 70 IQ, you will never win until the defeat screen, he will just E your Q2 and stat check you every single time. If you are even, you have a small chance killing him at lvl 6 if you have the level prior. you can instantly E onto him, he will E so you kite it out, but if he's dumb he will go onto you. Which is a very bad choice, as you can ult his E and he will be defenseless.”
Xpoxy says “You have to play around his E, you won't be able to proc W easily. Prepare for his godly late-game.
Take: Grasp
Build: Divine Sunderer/Goredrinker (laneing)”
Anothaoneforym6 says “E rush is probably what I'd go in this matchup. Respect his all in potential and keep distance. Although he scales realllly well, you can easily W him and avoid any stuns and beat him 1 v 1. Team fight wise he'll be really annoying as if he prios you he can shred you.”
alexionut05 says “It is almost impossible to lose this matchup. By W-ing his leap, you already counter most of his utility. If he tries to stun you, simply Q and W away, so he is both slowed and cannot leap. Trade blows with him as much as you want, he shouldn't ever be able to defeat you. Just beware if he is running Lethal Tempo, he might kill you very early into the game.”
MHLoppy says “Due to his reliance on stacks, his sustained damage is a little low whenever he hasn't already been hitting something for a while first. If he Q+E's onto you without stacks and you're healthy, you can absolutely chunk him by walking backwards until the E expires (or he pops it), then just blowing everything on him afterwards. Although you have advantage early, Jax does usually out-scale you, so you should keep pressing an early lead.”
Scarhawk says “Pre-6 - Tahm beats Jax.
Post-6 - Jax beats Tahm.
Lethal Tempo change made it so that champions that Tahm could beat easily reversed.
Don't let him stack his Lethal Tempo on you and watch out for his Q 3rd Auto Ult Passive + W.”
Aphelios4ever says “This is a tough one. He can jump on you and just press E. You can`t damage him because he dodges the auto attacks while he spins. And after he finished spinnig you are getting stunned and beaten up badly. So how can we beat this guy? First you wait until you have white gun you have to be perma cautios with your spacing. If he does get to you which will happen sooner or later kite back and damage him after he did his combo on you to return some damage. when you have your white gun try to bait out his E and kite back with your red gun Q. In this case you can now beat him bacause he does not has his E to dodge our combo. Switch to white gun use r +q and dps him in meely range. Dont forget to use your barrier. It´s difficult but not impossible. I´m sure with some practice you can do it.”
RayTeamStrategy says “His evasion can get him stunning harder. His ultimate can make him a real threat against you if he decides to buy AP, but usually Jax will just go AD and shouldn't be a problem. Keep your eye out for off meta shenanigans.”
Agatrium says “If you can build a lead in this lane, it'll be game over for Jax, unless you drag the game out until he's full build, then he'll never be able to catch up and you can kill at almost any point. Some Jax's will be aggressive and look to jump on you with E. If they do this, start spinning, W the stun, and run him down. Once his E is down he stands no chance against you. ”
LimitlessHavoc says “You hard win level 1-6. Level 1 he will start E and try and fight you, you can trade with him however you need to save 1-2 Qs to immediately disengage when he uses his E.
When Jax's E is on cooldown he is very vulnerable, it has a long CD early.
Jax's E makes him immune to autos however not your abilities so you can still kill him through his E if he is low enough however note that he takes reduced damage as well.
Post 6, short trade him continuously and all in him when he's low enough. Always make sure you have at least E or Q off cooldown at all times so that you can kite him.
You can E-W instantly when he jumps on you so that he can't follow up, you can also use 3rd Q as he's jumping on you to create distance and disengage.
His ultimate makes him deceptively tanky, if don't believe you can kill him through it, you can also disengage and all in when its off cooldown however if you've been short trading him continuously prior to this then it should not be an issue.”
Cryniu says “Juega neutral pero con mucho cuidado cuando gane algunos niveles.
Respeta cuando él tenga disponible su E y trata de mantenerte alejado.
Atácalo de preferencia cuando no tenga su E.
Tu combo de Q+W es muy clave cuando salta Jax a atacarte, ya que anulas el daño mejorado de su W (y es muy fuerte).
Considera usar resistencias híbridas en tus fragmentos de runa, jax hace bastante daño mágico.
Te sugiero tenacidad en runas y comprar botas de armadura.
Compra vesta espinosa cuando él compre curación.
El combo E+Destello rápido ayuda mucho a sorprenderlo.”
Kocykek says “Same as Irelia. Early on he can cheese you, be careful. Get Bramble Vest, go for short trades. Get Sheen and poke her. After Divine you win.”
Helzky says “Jax is a skill matchup. Level 2 if he all in's you, just E him and you win if you have ghouls. I would take ignite here but it's preference when it comes to this matchup. Level 6 and onwards, make sure you have executioners with Maiden and you win.”
ZomB2446 says “He have a short cd leap, a shorter cd sheen proc and a panic button that block your entire kits while dishing his own. He just happened to have 2 tool against you while he himself is a better Divine Sunder user and a Lethal tempo user, Eclipse build is better, since if you didn't win the race against a horse, then try flying”
Lazarus Sleigh says “Same as Tryndamere , Avoid Drawn out Bait out his Counter Strike and use Full Combo after its done. If you Know you will be hit by counter Strike, Preemptively use E and walk into AOE. The Lightning Will hit Even if he used Counter Strike and it will shield you. if he uses ULT back off and wait till its over.”
OliveeGarden says “Take conq, ignite and Shield bash. always try to use E + W to counter his E, and never fight or all in when he has or uses R unless you can burst him. respect him like you respect a darius.”
Ujiyo says “You get out scaled and out powered in every part of the game. Consider dodging or banning.
If you are FORCED into playing this matchup, make sure you prep some minions or have R or Blade of The Ruined King to Q dash out of his E range just before he stuns you so he doesn't just Q you when you run. If you can't Q away, W his E.”
GG Cannon says “Jax immunity to basic attacks during his E makes him a huge threat since your Q will not damage him until it ends.
It forces you to wait him to use his E, and use your rappel to escape it and jump him as soon as his E ends.
Without his E, you can out-trade him since you can Cocoon him in human form and heal in spider form besides having better poke.”
Ghidorah says “Another really hard matchup. Jax's E, Counter Strike, blocks all of your W auto-attacks and denies 50% of your damage. However, there is a plan! Press Q at him everytime it is availabe, immediatly rush Plated Steelcaps and ability haste, you have to poke him throughout the laning phase to lower his health, lowering his capability of diving you freely. Late game you can't do much, group with your team and ult any free targets you can see, before he takes over.”
magician4444 says “Skill match up, favoring Jax if hes good enough. If you know you're not escaping his E range, W on the ground just before you get stunned to buffer W and you can return some damage back. He can jump onto you which is super annoying. It's difficult but if you play it well you can beat him.”
TheChoz3nOne says “Has high damage, annoying E. Play against his cooldowns. His main strentgh is his stun - E. If he doesn't have it - you can trade with him.”
Mushroomuwu says “He beats you level 1 unless you have minions set up for passive, but usually its better to start with e. Don’t be afraid to auto him because if he presses e then you can just simply stun him and run away. This will screw up the wave and it will push to you and you can keep going for sneaky autos because your auto range is a lot longer but if you just go for farm its also fine. You can use this to get level advantages which are pretty big early on. Try to keep your passive at 5 stacks and auto attacking him whenever he is in range, if he is close enough you go for an e and if you land your e don’t be afraid to q on him and auto. After lvl 6 It gets easier but it also gets very punishing if you make any mistakes after this point. At level 6 jax gets a lot of extra damage from his R passive every third auto and is really tanky with his ult. You have to start with a full passive in every fight and you also have to make sure that his passive is not stacked, if it is his full passive is stronger than yours. This is generally how the lane plays out until level 11. If you have not gotten ahead of him after lvl 11 do not try to 1v1 him unless you have help on the way. His ult passive does too much damage and his E cooldown will be very short but if you are ahead the same concept from above applies.”
boboderaffe says “The good thing is: he stacks HP and You are not an auto-attack based champion. The bad thing: He also excels in 1v1s and builds Divine Sunderer - and YOU Stack Health as well.
This one is a little more chill than Gwen IMO. Sure, he can jump out of your ult but he also can’t really do anything against your poke once you got Liandry’s. The key is to stay far enough away and keep him low enough so he can’t all in you. Even if he does: as long as you got your ult you will survive. But you will not survive another all in after that. You have to play this one smart. ”
Your Desired Username says “Generally pretty hard match-up. Ignite can make this lane alot more playable. Rushing tabis might be tempting but keep in mind his fairly big portion of magic damage. If the jax knows what he's doing it will be a difficult game for you. Respect his early game, you do not want take a bad trade and be zoned out of cs range. Poke with q, if he jumps onto you and e's, pull him away from you with e. Pre-6, unless he fucks up or you're super confident OR you've poked him down a lot, just farm and play passively and wait for 6, you beat him in Brazil, especially with ignite. When he uses E, pull him away from you with your E. If you don't have e just q him and walk away from him until his e is over. Jax is known to be a duelist champion, so ulting him in late game team fights is a rather poor choice, as it can go two ways: Either he will e you, then jump over a wall or just away from you, allowing him to just wait for Brazil to run out and walk away OR he will actually beat you in Brazil, as, at this point, he will probably have items like bork, wit's end and sundered sky, which make him an insanely powerful duelist. As long as you ult someone else, though, you should be fine and outperform him in teamfights. If he decides to afk-splitpush you can match him easily, he won't be able to dive you and you can clear the waves quite easily.”
Hoosteen says “a lot of people think that jax is this super huge threat to pantheon but if you play against him the same way you play against a fiora it becomes much easier. just poke him down with empowered qs and force him to take bad fights.”
Rayli36 says “Start with e and try to time your W right with his E-Stun and after that you can silence him and it should be free when he'll make mistakes
AD-dmg”
Black Demon Ezel says “Don't use your auto much less your empowered auto against his counter strike. Do use your E though because that won't get blocked. Though I'm not sure if his E blocks your walkers, it should not deal enough damage to you on the strike portion of the spell”
StormPhoenix3 says “Jax can block attacks and is usually a good threat against Voli, but after the block wears off Jax is not as much of a threat. Patience against Jax is key alongside Voli's E”
Atomragnar says “Dodge his E with your E. If he jumps on you with Q and E, use your E to pull him to you and then run away from his E. The way your E works is that if you pull an enemy towards you it will hit Darius's body and bounce back a little bit. During this animation the enemy can't move. This mechanic buys you time to dodge his E.
If you dodge E and manage to poke him with Q you will win all ins.
Steelcaps are great. ”
BreadedBreadCrum says “Jax can be quite bad if he is good. If he stuffs up by jumping and then getting his stun ready, use your E to kite out of the circle. His damage is easily blocked by your E. His ward hopping can be annoying, but your Q helps with closing the gap. Go Lethal or Grasp. Stridebreaker.”
LunaticDancer says “Skill match up, but Jax favored. Take Bullied and D Shield. Avoid getting stunned by his umbrella, don't attack him while he has it active. His E also blocks your ghouls, so be patient with throwing them at him. If he burns his jump to get to you, cage him and retaliate. Punish him when his E is down. It's a really honest skill fight, good luck.”
COJA says “A number of things in Jax's kit counter you. He has a jump directly onto you, good short and long trades, a dodge to ignore your passive auto, and armor to reduce your healing and negate your burst. Once you hit lvl 3 you can start playing aggressive and punish him when he jumps onto you. You must be careful with your E usage, be prepared to have him jump on you whenever you E forwards.”
N0kk__ says “Another tough matchup. Early game avoid him at all cost. He will stun you and beat the dogs out of you with his lamp. Look for fights with him after getting boots and sheen. Always watch for his counterstrike. ”
yally says “nessa matchup vc fica esperto quando ele pular vem vc q ele da stun e cancela seus aa, é uma lane bem dificil pois ele tanka mt e da mt dano”
AnEx1stingBeing says “Jax isn't too bad of a matchup, but his E can stop you from proving your passive for a good chunk of time, as well as reducing your Q and E damage since they are are and he's E reduces aoe by 25%, both of which make him a threat. Rush any of Tabis, Seekers, or Bramble depending on what you want to build.”
Eduardocwalle says “Okay, pre level 6 u can kill him, care for his E but u can dodge it with ur E and engage him once his counterstrike ends. BUT, if u dont kill him or stomp the lane u have a problem, cause he will outscale you in longtrades and can block ur nuclear bomb with a simple E. And if he wins lane just ff15 cause u will suffer agony the hole game like the jewish during the WW2”
Night Guy says “Jax can easily jump to you so your E gets cancelled because you hit a terrain or champion so you're stuck with him autoing you to death plus he can stun you so you can't really do much to him. After 6 you can't really do anything to him because of his ulti plus his basics hurt even more so try to avoid him or wait him to jump on you and then use E to escape his grasp and punish him for being so confident that early.
”
Polartech says “Jax is the stupidest and Hardest Match-Up for Kayle. You can really do nothing in Early Game, and even the Mid and the Late Game are super difficoult for Kayle!!! I surely suggest to switch lane if you can, or play safer as possible, stay away from his Jump Range (Q), and counterattack only if he waste his Dodge (E). Jax can easily kill Kayle running really 0 risks simply pushing (Q) and (E) if you are too close. Play under Tower and don't Push for any Reason!!!”
NAGlTO says “"Oh but wait! Why is Teemo extreme, but not Jax?"
Bait Jax's E with a Q, make him waste it or cancel early, then go back and finish the job. Tedious, but it can work.”
King Turtle says “His E is a built in counter, as he can take an E, wait for you to walk up to proc it, and then press his E and turn on you. He also scales better and level 6 unless you can get him on a dive he's probably going to beat you in most trades.”
Sandor Clegane98 says “Trading can go easily in his favor if he cheeses you with his E, steelcaps rush is a must I'd say.Be sure to try juking his stun out either by fake-walking in then out or use your apprehend as he starts to cast and just walk away,as apprehend denies using any ability while the enemy is in the pull animation,so that's nice for us.All in's pre and post 6 are in your favor.Kill is always secured for as long as you use the apprehend tactic vs his e in every all in.Be sure to shut him down early,even with a jungler if you really need one because his scaling is pretty big later.
Dshield or Dblade”
metalhydra273 says “Jax is pretty hard to fight thanks to his e. You kinda just end up waiting around for it to end in hopes of stunnng him. Jax does best in the 1v1, deny him that and you can get him killed pretty easily. Just play around his e and watch out for his stun engage.”
5Head Builds says “His counter strike is horrible and he can get on top of you. I would ban him or dodge because he wins in all facets of the game.
There is, however, the slight possibility that if you wait out his w you can win. But baiting that is risky and hard, but good players won't miss his w.”
StreamSn1per101 says “this guy has his e which blocks autos, meaning for the new build you can do anything against him, with the old build you cant stack grasp but its better because the old build is more ability based, however i recommend just permabanning if you are new to teemo”
Killit says “I Permaban jax.. you cant really do anything about him if the player which is playing him is decent.. his E is just pain for a warwick player.”
MrZoltannn says “You really need to play well to survive him in early, mid and lategame as well. Try to jump away just before he would stun you. poke him with Q, and look out for his Q+E combo, lvl 6 is a get out of jail card. Start with dorans shield and fleet footwork then buy stridebreaker into deathdance.”
ToothlessKnight says “This is the worst possible matchup for Urgot. I ban Darius because he's more common but Jax is Urgot's truest counter due to his counter-strike negating all your damage from W. Max Q in this matchup and gain lane priority. He has no sustain outside of potions so this is your only chance to beat him in lane. Call your jungler for help if you fall behind. He can solo end the game in the sidelane if he gets a lead.”
_WhiteSnow_ says “You should win lane, jax outscales. However, one mistake and jax will run away with a lead. If he gets ahead, play safe, pray for ganks. Bait out his e and fight whenever it's down. You can look to bait it using root, leaping to nearby minions, etc. and kite him out when he uses it.”
xPetu says “Tips: Your W blocks his W and Passive R. Fight him with Q and when he E's, wait 0.75 sec and then E backwards through him to prevent stun completely. Repeat this and win the lane.”
Anoying bro5 says “If he takes E lvl1 dont fight him and possibly even Q out of the range if necessary. His counterstrike can be triggered early and there is about a .75 sec window of failure. I usually count 1 sec in my head and then parry, but it depends on the player. You have to get used to their style as this is a skill match up. lvl 3 and on, look to riposte as soon as he Q dashes onto you. You will negate all the high dmg, and when he Es after, Q out of the way or walk (since he should be slowed by riposte) and then rengage on him and you win.”
Stinkee says “Jax is not a problem in laning phase. You can cancel his dash with your Q stun. You can win most short trades but he will look to all-in you. He will win any all-in 1v1. He is going to be a threat late game if gets fed in lane. Do whatever you can to stop or avoid his snowball. He will shred you later on and near oneshot your ADCs. If he does get fed, look for when he tries to jump on your ADC and peel for him.”
Sovereign Kitten says “Just like fighting Jax in the laning phase, Jax has a relatively weak early game in the jungle, getting stronger and stronger and harder to deal with as the game progresses to late. Do your best to be aggressive in the early stages.”
PH45 says “You can outsustain him but if he gets a chance to all in you and you miss your Q you are forced to burn Flash to get away during early game. Get Steelcaps and potentially a bramble vest and he is much less threatening. He is quite squishy so he can actually die quite easily if his E is down.”
lol Wero says “Only annoying threat about this match up is his E (Dodging the auto attacks). Not to big but easy to deal with in lane if you can keep your distance when he tries to jump on you.”
BoilTheOil says “Max W in this lane and build early HP items against him. Don't fight him if his passive is fully stacked. Every time he tries to fight you just wait for his E to almost be over and then pull him and W him. Once he gets Divine Sunderer it becomes super hard to fight him unless ahead.”
LiL Bunnie FuFuu says “Jax is very hard to solo lane against if he's good. Thanks to recent buffs lowering his counterstrike and leap cooldowns he'll jump on you constantly and force unfavorable trades. Poke him when he's weakest, lvl 1-3, and play very carefully afterwards. Stay out of his melee range at all costs which you can do with flay.
Anathemas and frozen heart are extremely strong vs this champion.”
quinn adc says “Jax is an incredibly easy matchup.
The main point to note is that Quinn's E can cancel Jax's Q damage and it will interrupt his Leap from his Q.
To play this matchup, save your vault in lane only to counter Jax's engage.
Typically, Jax will active his E, Counter Strike momentarily before he will engage with his Q.
The timing is important, but essentially just be ready to vault Jax when he is in mid air.
By doing this, you should leap out before he could get his stun off, and if you can avoid being stunned by his counter strike, then the matchup is quite easy.
Keep in mind that Jax's Q is now on an incredibly low cooldown, so he can leap onto you before your vault will come back up.
If you use your vault at all against Jax, be mindful of your positioning and do not walk in leap range of jax if your vault is down.
If you are able to successfully dodge Jax's E stun, then you should aggressively auto attack him quite a bit because he will have no way to trade with you cancel his leap/counter strike.
Important interaction is that Jax CANNOT use his Q to hop onto wards OR enemy champions, including you, if he is blinded.
If Jax activates counter strike and you blind him, he is unable to leap onto you so long as you stay out of his vision range, so you can screw jax over super hard if you're able to do this :) If you have the opportunity to trade flash for flash with jax, do it becasue his only counterplay is E-Flashing you.
If he doesnt have flash, you can E his Q jump, and then run him down after because he has no way to ever land his E stun on you without flash.”
Veng Shotz says “Same reasons for urgot/kled/voli,
Jax can all in spam you and theres nothing you can do about it. The only way to truly beat a jax is to either go IGN (true damage dot when he ults) or beat him before his first/second back.
Once he completes sheen you'll be q+auto+w'd for 1/3 of your health and you cant retaliate at all as all he will have to do is press e and then dps you even more while youre stunned.
you need to q1, hold e, and when he jumps on you w q2 e backwards, and q3 +passive when he gets reeled in, just be aware when you land q3 to not auto him with passive if he's smashing his e as he'll block your auto after the cc wears off.
post 6 theres generally no real way to win the 1v1 unless he misplays or you outplay. (even with ign) since aatrox heals off damage dealt, even with the AD % increase during ult, his ult nullifies it with his increase in armor.”
The_Unf0rgiv3n says “Jax is not particularly easy. Your Q can stack a nado through his counter-strike *hashinshin intensifies* but it doesnt deal damage and you can still lose the trade if he times it correctly and stuns you before it actually procs. Play this lane really careful or you risk getting destroyed throught the entire game.
If you see him buy sheen as a first item, just wait for the minions to come under the tower , farm and wait for him to do a mistake. Shieldbow rush is probably the best choice here.”
Feedaboi says “Can block your autos with his e "counterstike" which negaties your main source of dmg coming from kled's W "violent tendancies". He has good lane pressure and scales insanely well. Look to freeze the wave near your turret and setup for ganks for your jgler otherwise he will run you down with his leap and dps you with ease.”
King Turtle says “Jax is a champion that has a built in counter for gwen with his E and is one of a few champions with enough scaling power to match or beat her through mid game and up to late game. He's my perma ban at the moment mostly because he's impossible to win lane against, and difficult to outscale plus Akshan Top is such a rare pick that you're better off just banning Jax.”
Phrxshn says “I would say it would be a "Minor" match-up if Jax doesn't build Blade of the Ruined King. For Jax you will have to constantly kite him on a constant basis. Consider building Rylai's to help out with the kiting. Avoid his Counter-Strike(E) and you should be able to trade easily. Avoid doing sustained trade against Jax especially if he has Grandmaster's Might(R). Priortize DPS item against Jax and build tank items afterward. (Recommended Items: Rylai's Scepter, Demonic Embrace, Deadman's Plate) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even, Jax if he has Blade of the Ruined King) (Outscaling Edge: Jax) (Fling overrides his Leap Strike) (Mega Adhesive stops his Leap Strike) ”
Amphawn says “This is my go to ban as of now. He destroys you early game, and really hard after 6 too. Ask your jungler for some help. You will probably never win an all in against him in lane. He can jump on you or a nearby minion and just parry all of your auto poke, make sure not to attack him when he is parrying, as it increases the damage of the stun. If you get stunned, you're going to lose the trade hard. This is a matchup that you have to play next to tower. He's just a pain to lane against. Worth switching lanes if you can. Level 1 however, he starts with his stun, so you can bait him into using it and pushing into your wave and possibly pick up kill. Make sure not to hit him while he is using it though, as he can get up to double the damage.”
At_Tar_Ras says “jax is arguably the worst champ irelia can go against as a whole. the only way you beat him is if jax is stupid and i mean it. walk AWAY and kite jax's counterstrike if he uses it. Q minions if you have to. if you can't (or can't risk having Q on cooldown) that's okay -> USE W and hold it while he's auto'ing you so he does less DMG. hopefully you can use that W to hit him AND some minions, stack up your stacks and start trading/all-inning depending on how both your HPs look. if you play around minions and hit your stun, you can beat him. obviously if jax uses E and it's on CD you should look for trades/all-ins. the only reason why i say it's irelia's "worst matchup as a whole" is because he outscales THE SHIT out of you in the sidelanes. i'd venture to even say post-divine/trinity/bork, jax will start schooling you in 1v1s and that's even if you're ahead at all because if both players make no mistakes, jax will always win it the champ is just a better duelist. it's one of those shove-and-roams and kill their squishies type of game here. ask about the matchup if you want!
twitch.tv/at_tar_ras ”
iZeal says “Be careful of his Level 2 rush. If you get behind Jax, you will suffer the entire rest of the game. If you get ahead, you can make him pay for every CS he wants to take. Take Bone Plating and play around it to endure early all ins as Jax players tend to all in you on sight so poking them down becomes difficult.
Your W cooldown is gigantic compared to his E (14) and Q (8) and even if you hit it he might be able to disengage from it with Time Warp Tonic's movement speed buff. Either push him under tower and harass him while he tries to lasthit or freeze the wave in front of your tower to eliminate his ability to run you down.
In teamfights aim to peel him from your carries as he can't itemize against knockups and every interrupt significantly reduces his damage and leaves your carries opportunities to kite him.
Grasp possible.”
PH45 says “Make sure to not use your W when he uses his E since it block your knockback autoattack. Can also jump away from you so can be tricky to kill. With junglers help and your lockdown you should be able to kill him unless his ahead a lot or you don't make unnecessary mistakes.”
SunFalk says “He has a dodge ability. He has a jump. He has an auto attack enhance. - Play it early, poke early and CS early before he will outscale you in mid to late game.”
Dream Orbit says “More info on the matchups section. Remember this is only an estimated threat, you can always win any matchup if you're good enough (or if they're bad enough).”
slogdog says “Pain. It's pain everywhere. He Q's you then E's and kills your maiden. Then your ghouls. It's a massacre. There's nothing you can do about it. Jax enters a defensive stance for 4 secon-
Press W on him when he jumps you, as he has no mobility for a while after that.”
Phrxshn says “I would say it would be a "Minor" match-up if Jax doesn't build Blade of the Ruined King. For Jax you will have to constantly kite him on a constant basis. Consider building Deadman's Plate to help out with the kiting. Avoid his Counter-Strike(E) and you should be able to trade easily. Avoid doing sustained trade against Jax especially if he has Grandmaster's Might(R). Priortize core item against Jax and build tank items afterward. (Recommended Items: Thornmail) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even, Jax if he has Blade of the Ruined King) (Outscaling Edge: Even) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even)”
Xerath gaming says “yet another skill matchup, press E behind you when he presses Q to send him away or if u know you can kill him or he jumps next to your turret with no minions, press E to pull him in turret for free damage. He can beat you in your own R”
SaltCat says “So you would have realise irelia loses to broken champs ;D, jax wins level 1 if he started e , you beat him if waste his e, if not then you lose, try to use your q on minions to dodge his e ”
Phrxshn says “I would say it would be a "Even" match-up if Jax doesn't build Blade of the Ruined King. For Jax you will have to constantly kite him on a constant basis. Consider building Deadman's Plate to help out with the kiting. Avoid his Counter-Strike(E) and you should be able to trade easily. Avoid doing sustained trade against Jax especially if he has Grandmaster's Might(R). Priortize core item against Jax and build tank items afterward. (Recommended Items: Thornmail) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even, Jax if he has Blade of the Ruined King) (Outscaling Edge: Even) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even)”
A_Drunk_Carry says “My 2nd least favorite matchup after Irelia. Luckily he has fallen out of favor. A halfway competent Jax will simply save his Q for when you put your W wall down then counterstrike and stun you for absurd damage. He simply outscales you late as well, making split pushing nearly impossible. ”
MagicallyDelish4 says “If he doesn't start E or wastes it you can level 1 all in him. If you don't have confidence in this match up then just freeze the wave. If you are then just short trade him during a slow push. Step out of his E and you win the trade. If he tries to hop away do E > W > aa for a short trade. ”
laoshin3v3 says “Grasp
A lot of Jax players want to fight lvl1 but Fiora wins it. Fiora hard wins lane even if it's a skill matchup vs good jax players you might struggle. You don't need to parry his stun if you can't the autoattack slow of parry will win it for you. As soon as he gets Shojin this matchup is one of the hardest if you aren't very far ahead don't fight him as soon as you see he bought it.”
LoLReal says “Punish him hard early and mid game before we get outscaled in the side lane. Jax has no real response to our trade pattern.
Be careful over commiting level 1, Jax E is deceptively strong. After that we can take almost all trades and punish him hard.”
Justkb says “This lane depends on how well, Jax does in the early trading! If you can land 2 clean Q's without getting hit by his E at level 1 you can snowball the lane very hard! Make sure you take your E level 2 to disengage if he tries to leap on you! rush Sheen and try to get Trinity quickly to push your lead. Once he gets BORK the lane becomes difficult, you will need to purchase bramble and start to wait on Deaths Dance. Try to pressure him with the jungler and make sure he doesn't just get to free farm. ”
P1Legend says “Jax is not a big deal, early game you win, and you just keep taking small trades while escaping with empowered W until he is low enough to kill. Again, he likes sustained fights, so if you deny him that, he will struggle to fight you”
MythicMike says “Jax is a champion that is going to outscale you no matter what, but even though he scales, that doesn't mean his early game is bad. He has a playstyle that Aatrox doesn't really like, where he jumps on top of you making it hard to land your Q's. As long as you get off your combo and manage to back off, you should take him down bit by bit until you can fully all in. ”
lol Wero says “this can go either your way or his way. if he tries to walk up for a minion, facebreaker and haymaker then walk away for a good trade. ”
A_Drunk_Carry says “Jax isn't the terror of past seasons(due to trinity being garbage compared to Sunderer and other mythic items), but this champ is still a pain to play against. Don't even try to approach him early. He'll just counterstrike and stun you, and beat you up with a lamp pole.
Try to stop your lane from crashing at tower, but stay out of his Q jump range from lvl 1-3 as well. You'll be able to duel him after Sheen and boots, and look for opportunities to sneak in Q bonks. Be very aware of when his counterstrike is up or not.”
qveenevelynn says “Put your charm while he is charging his stun near you, you will get stunned if you're not faster than him, and spam E to proc the charm after your stun (E animation is faster than Q so you will proc it instantly) and the run away or fight depending on the situation. Be aware that he can perma jump on you at some point, so you can't escape him”
Phrxshn says “I would say it would be a "Minor" match-up if Jax doesn't build Blade of the Ruined King. For Jax you will have to constantly kite him on a constant basis. Consider building Deadman's Plate to help out with the kiting. Avoid his Counter-Strike(E) and you should be able to trade easily. Avoid doing sustained trade against Jax especially if he has Grandmaster's Might(R). Priortize DPS item against Jax and build tank items afterward. (Recommended Items: NInja's Tabis or Sorcerer's Shoes ,Deadman's Plate, Thornmail) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even, Jax if he has Blade of the Ruined King) (Outscaling Edge: Even) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even)”
Autolykus says “Max W and go conqueror. Grasp is good to if you wish to survive lane. You have to buffer your W when he is about to stun you and its a guaranteed true damage hit. He is a triple S tier champ.”
Fan22 says “I think Jax it's a skill matchup generally, altough he slaps you in the early game.
Remember to disengage with Q when Jax jumps on to yolu with Q, you can also dodge his E if you time your W right.
Early on play passive and use your passive to out sustain his Corrupting potion.
Since Jax tends to spams his abiltiies, concretely his W, he actually helps you to get your passive cooldown down by a lot.
Getting plated steelcaps denies a lot of hims AA's damage.
Other items like thornmail, frozen heart, or randuins omen help to reduce by a significant amount his overall damage.
In the late game Jax its a monster, so always make sure to close the game as soon as possible, however if the game lenght extendeds i recommended playing for your team and getting Jax off from them, since Jax tends to always dive the enemy Backline, so peel it's crucial.”
Sporkintahn says “ANNOYING and DANGEROUS!--- Jax can be a very rough matchup if not played properly and is one of the few champions that can beat you at levels 1-3. If you let him get a kill on you or get too far behind it's over and you won't be able to 1v1 him or even trade against him period.--- Many Jax will want to rush BotRK and is heavily auto-attack based so you always want to get Steelcaps and Armor, usually a bramblevest to negate some of his damage and healing.--- What you want to do is contest the first wave but be careful. If he reaches 2 before you he can jump on you and stun you and win the trade and all-in.--- KITE HIM!!! Kiting him and utitlizing your range against him is the best way to play around Jax and to beat him.--- Whenever you Q many will jump onto you or away to avoid the outer edge of your Q so be mindful.--- You can win against him at 6 but do not fight or all in him if you are low hp as he will more than likely kill you before you can reach 5 stacks and ult him.--- Also whenever he looks to Counterstrike into you, you can Apprehend (E) him to displace him briefly and slowing him allowing you to walk out of his range to stun you but look to do this only after he has used his jump or right at the end of his counterstrike otherwise you will have wasted your Apprehend (E) and he jumps right to you anyway---If you do get stunned immediately W and Q him as you walk out to trade back damage and heal.”
Phrxshn says “I would say it would be a "Minor" match-up if Jax doesn't build Blade of the Ruined King. For Jax you will have to constantly kite him on a constant basis.

PanthrickTV says “Good Matchup.
(1) Spam your Q's at lane. (some poke)
(2) Let him jump on you with the stun press your E and go for the all in if he is low, if not just make a good trade.”
Fan22 says “Jax not onyl has good mobility, but also has a lot of ways to counter you.
First, his Q jump makes landing Q impossible, second his E not only stuns you, but also makes your E Useless. and his R makes him deal magic damage and get resistance.
However you can still use your W and his R extra resistances dont help him to reduce Your R damage.
Against jax i reccomend maxing W and spamming it when he gets close, and poking him if you can or have mana, but dont spam Q and just farm.
Dont fight him unless you have a teamamte o help you or you have 1 or 2 items a he is Not feed.”
Kacto15 says “Buildearse Tabis de Ninja puede ser muy útil, si salta hacia a ti y usa su E, kitéalo, después lo ralentizas con tu E y le cargas la Q, buildearse armadura es muy útil, ofrece mas utilidad en teamfights, puedes ir sion LETALIDAD O TANQUE”
WildeBob says “Really tough matchup. You cant really ever 1v1 him and you are outscaled. If you want to win this, you need to get ahead early by taking conq runes + ignite teleport. However this is risky and it might be better to just play it safe and farm.”
MythicMike says “He outscales you, but still has a good early game because of his E that can parry your W. If he wastes his E you can trade, but otherwise he will just jump and kill you.”
Phrxshn says “I would say it would be a "Even" match-up if Jax doesn't build Blade of the Ruined King. For Jax you will have to constantly kite him on a constant basis. Consider building Deadman's Plate to help out with the kiting. Avoid his Counter-Strike(E) and you should be able to trade easily.

(Recommended Items: Thornmail) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even, Jax if he has Blade of the Ruined King) (Outscaling Edge: Jax) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even)”
montybucket says “Jax's level 1-3 is a lot stronger than yours. Bait his E, early it's cooldown is quite long, but as an ability it nullifies your auto attacks which are essential for procing your passive and are also a major chunk of your damage. You go even Mid game so try to get 6 first, then all in. his levels 4 and 5 are worse than yours if you bait out his E correctly. Late game never 1v1 him in a side lane, he will only side lane so try and build a lead so you can take match him in a side lane without forcing a fight. If he gets a lead he will snowball and win the game, even if its just a small one. ”
TroviStyle says “THIS IS A WARNING! I BAN JAX IN 100% OF MY FIORA GAMES!!! YOU WILL NOT HAVE FUN IN THIS MATCHUP 90% OF THE TIME BAN HIM FOR YOUR OWN SAKE! anyways... in case you forgot to ban him or a teammate hovered Jax but you guys got reverse sweeped by the enemys first pick... here you go with the best I can provide considering this matchup: [Conqueror] You can call Jax Riven with a Twist. You dont know when he will recast his E so you can play mindgames with him as you can with Riven. HOWEVER: even if u stun him, you arent guaranteed to win the trade, because of his ridiculous dmg and sustain. Try to play it safe and run for your life if u need. If he jumps on you you can W emidiatly to hit the slow and run away, possibly stun him if he had his E active before jumping on you.”
mec908 says “El truco para que la linea contra jax sea fácil es iniciar con la E al lvl 1, en el momento que el tire su E nosotros activamos la nuestra, al lvl 2 nos ponemos la W y siempre procuremos usar nuestra W antes de que vuelva activar su E, nunca inicies con la Q.”
SilverAvalanche says “He will beat you level 6 and onwards, much like the Nasus incident. try and roam as much as possible pre 6 and then set up a freeze.
You are roughly equal in team fights midgame, but as soon as he hits 3-4 items, you can not compete anymore, he simply does too much damage and has too much amor. Luckily this is what an ADC is for, so try and peel them as hard as possible and pray.”
InYourWayToHELL says “You can kill him before level 6.
Go for short trades.
late flash his e when dismounted (thats usually how you can kill a "good" jax.)
You are weaker lvl 1 be ready to start pushing the wave before them.”
Koboldjaeger says “The worst Matchup for Camille . Take Ignite Tp and get your Jungle to camp you . You can win early game with ignite but after 1 or 2 Items Jax can run you down . If he uses his e , use your own and stun him , then you can dodge it .
Build Divine Sunderer”
MCSwavest says “Jax seems scary in concept with his E, but in reality there's little he can do unless he gets going. The playstyle of this build is to pressure early and bully hard, so with Jax's early CD's being a year long, you'll be able to pressure him well. Back off if he R's, and wait until he burns Q to try and E away.”
pokeyminch5236 says “Jax is pretty tough because of his evasion ability and his burst with his Q and E. The R's passive doesn't help either, and it's a pain fighting him once he's got the ult up. Try to drag him under tower if he jumps on you, but beware that he can dodge the stun lock under tower”
Drake6401 says “Mostly skill matchup. It's a fight of "I dare you". You always want to work around Jax's E. If he fails to block your stun, you win. If you try to stun his dodge mode, you lose.
You want trades to be short and he likes them long. His Q makes this tricky. To counter this, I suggest not using E as your engage. You both have no ranged poke so he can't kite you. Try to outsmart his stun and hit yours. At the point use your dashes to either chase him for double dash to a safe distance for round 2.”
Rhoku says “TL;DR - SKILL MATCHUP. KEEP AN EYE ON HIS PASSIVE STACKS. HE CAN DODGE YOUR Q EASILY WITH HIS Q. IF HE JUMPS IN AND USES COUNTER STRIKE, USE E AND THEN Q WHILE WALKING AWAY. DON’T TAKE TOO MANY BAD TRADES. FREEZE WAVE INTO HIM. HE SUCKS VS FREEZES. CONQUEROR IS GOOD. Jax is a very strong champion and can be tricky to beat for a newer Dariuses. You really do not want to die to Jax in this lane. If he gets fed he will be too strong to match on a splitpush and will easily be able to 1v2. The removal of Spear was nice as you can actually play around his E now as opposed to him permeanently having it up before. But a Bork rush also makes Jax INSANELY hard to 1v1. This is why a Bramble + Steelcap rush is very effective against him. But if he goes for Triforce/Sunderer, just go for Steelcaps. If he takes E level 1 which is what most Jaxes take, try to land as many Qs onto him as possible. You want him to use up his corrupt pot stacks as much as possible as him surviving your bleed stacks thanks to it is the most tilting thing on the planet. A good Jax will most likely jump into you with Q if you try to Q him so try to be wary of that. If he jumps onto you with his counter strike up, you want to pull him in and then Q him as you walk out. This will give you both free damage and stop him from properly utilising his stun. You want to keep an eye out on his passive, as if he attacks you with it stacked up, he will beat you down very quickly. You treat Jax like you would most other DPS heavy toplaners. By kiting him. Having a higher AA range along with ghost and your W slow makes this very doable. Try not to use your W when he uses counter strike. There is a trick you can pull off where you activate your W and then hit him with it JUST as the stun goes off. This way, even if you are stunned, the animation for the W will continue playing and it will actually hit him. But doing this requires you to have knowledge of how long Jax’ counter strike is. He is VERY easy to kill if you have the wave pushed into your side of the lane and you spike harder than him at level 6 (provided you are both at high hp). Steelcaps + Bramble is a good combo vs him. If he goes ignite, DO NOT FORCE ALL INS WHEN YOU ARE LOW HP. HE WILL BEAT YOU. If you are a higher elo player and have better wave control, try your hardest to thin the wave before it hits your turret. Your goal is to make sure that the wave gets stuck juuust outside your turret. This is the prime all in distance, because at this point, Jax cannot Q into your Q because he will take turret shots. This is the point where you want to sneak in a few stacks on to him here and there while he is trying to shove the lane and then try to all in him with Ghost. But for this to be even possible, you HAVE to thin the wave a bit.”
RivalOCE says “Riven can safe trade at level 3. Lead with Q, auto, W, auto and disengage. Jax will either take the trade or Q and E on you, which you can just E the damage away or look to all in. After his E is down, Jax loses really hard.
Look to build advantages early, Jax wins hard with items.”
Chease says “He outscales you after 2/3 items but you should win lane, try to cc him in the end of his E duration and instad W to deal guaranteed W damage, keep in mind that he can also dodge your W with his Q.”
The Rock Titan says “"[Comet, Doran's Shield, Q > E] - The ideal lane state against Jax is have the minion wave near your turret, this way you can freely Q him and he can't trade long term with you cause you can just go back under your turret
- If he jumps you, just Q him and run away. You should be able to run away before his stun activates
- Get boots 2 early, this match up is great if you have a lot of Movement speed.
- If you can get even one kill on him, you can try to snowball your lead.
- Best time to E him is some time before he stuns you if he can get it off on you"”
Quinncidence says “Jax wins if his stun is up if (14-8 sec cd if no cdr).
If you can bait it, then you have a small window to trade before it comes up again.”
Wawza says “First levels should be fairly straighforward, poke, poke, all in. He becomes a problem later on in the game when he finishes his Core items, but with the removal of Spear of Shojin he isnt the threat he once was to Aatrox”
The Real Fake says “You should beat him early until he gets two of his completed/core items. He scales much better than you but you beat him hard early. You have more sustain than him in lane, can push harder, roam better, and have better skirmishing potential early to mid game. All his trades either utilize his Q or autos which draw minion aggro, you can just Q him to trade back without drawing minion aggro. The damage he takes, he often cannot heal back while you can. Never engage with your E because his counter strike blocks it, you often want to let him make the first move or just make Q + auto trades. If he leaps onto you with Q + E, remember not to auto him as his E absorbs autos to increase its damage, you can use this time to ramp up Q and turn on him once his E runs out. You should always be able to beat him early if you draw out his E.”
Jungl says “Must keep distance from jax. He can block your full stun combo with his e making you a very good target unless you get your passive w off before he using counter-strike.”
Kampsycho says “Dodges all our DMG but our E.
Dashes over wall, Out duels etc.
Just bait his jump, wall him then trade, then back off, repeat till he dies.”
maxlid3 says “Keep your distance. He has a pretty easy engage and can just jump onto you. If you see him activate his E just run so he can't jump onto you. You can punish him after he uses his E and really poke him to death.”
Rhoku says “Jax is a somewhat annoying matchup for you. His counter strike stops you from proccing your passive. He isn't too nimble so he cannot dodge your Q very well. Overall, he is free food IF you manage to activate your passive early on into the fight. The longer it goes without your passive, the more likely it is he is going to beat your face in. And he snowballs SUPER hard so try not to die to him. Land your Qs and get Ninja Tabis ASAP. One more thing, don't fight him when he has his passive stacked up. Wayy to much DPS. The good thing about this matchup is that you can basically poke him down with Q and disengage with E if he jumps on to you. This will give you free damage and if you E properly, he won't even get his stun off. A few of these will put him in a bad position where he can't really win. If all else fails, your Ultimate should give you enough strength to just brute force him and beat him down. If it can be helped, keep your ultimate for when he activates his ultimate so that you steal his bonus resistances too. But they are often negligible so ult when you NEED to.”
YasTilt says “Play safe against him, wait for his E to be on cooldown before fighting him. You can try to take exhaust so you reduce his Passive's Attack Speed. Take anti Heal and be careful.”
Heansuh says “I hate Jax the most when I play Ornn because he can block your Brittle-AA combo. He splits better and wins you even when he's behind. It's kinda pointless for your jungler to gank, so if he does, then give kills to jungler, not yourself. Personally, I still take Grasp of the Undying, so that I can sustain in lane and be more threatening than taking Unsealed Spellbook. I'm also researching on Aery/Comet against Jax.”
FeedLaneGetCaryd says “(Bone Plating+Armor+DBlade) Don't waste your W when it's not infinite yet into his counterstrike. Don't Q his E. Get steelcaps. You win after lvl 9. E him after he enters evasion.”
PK Noob says “Your E does a lot of DPS and for Jax to be able to negate all of it is threatening to you. Play patiently and let him engage with his Q and E so that you can E out of his stun. From there, you can all-in him. Make sure he doesn't just walk up and E or he will follow you with his Q when you try to dash away.”
jmp_01_ says “Take Conqueror. Don't fight him level 1. His E counters you completely. Max W - Haymaker in this match-up. If he is about to stun you with his E - Counter Strike, press E then W. You'll win the trade(s). After 2 items he has outscaled you so don't even try fighting him. Try to ult him away from your carries since he is able to oneshot them with 2 auto attacks.”
Avelon6698 says “Most people seem to have an easy time with jax but I find skilled jax players to be hard to lane against. His early is crap but still stay cautious of his stunning spin”
Black Demon Ezel says “Jax is Jax and Jax is evil. How many times can I say Jax in one sentence? Anyway, if he tries to E you, wait till he leaps onto you then activate your E which he can't block and it will completely miss”
LippyDarren says “A good Jax player (not TF Blade) will use his counterstrike just when you wanna stun him with your W or empowered W. This will be a huge waste of your fury since he takes no damage, and his E stun will stun you for more damage and he will just auto you to death. You have to make sure you play around his E well. Don't get jebaited by his counterstrike. You can beat him early if you play properly, but once mid to late game approaches where Jax gets 2 or 3 items, you need one more team mate to help you take down Jax.”
Razorwir3 says “you can either W into his E to try and hit your sweet spot while your stunned or W away from his E to get the little extra distance to escape the stun”
Psychopathic Top says “Season 11 Jax was a lot weaker compared to season 9/10 (imo). This used to be an unlaneable matchup. Now there are ways to deal with him. Level 1, walk up and allow him to E you and the wave. Boneplating should block some damage so it doesn't hurt too much. This allows him to push into you faster. Try to stand in the pocket in front of your turret, so he cannot full shove the wave into you. Sit there and afk farm. First back bramble kindlegem. This should completely stonewall jax from killing you. Upon 2nd back (sheen), look for all ins. Ping mia if Jax is off the map, he can easily get random kills which is probably the most annoying part. Mid- Late Nasus hard out teamfights Jax. Force fights at objectives to prevent Jax from splitting all game.”
Olaugh says “Try to bait his stun and hurt him with your q+e combo. When he goes for trade slow him and pop W or run away or if his E is turned on throw q+e and go pick up q cause ur basic attacks dont work just like vs teemo q so dont waste time, pick up q and either save ur ass or all in. Just poke him and u ll be fine”
DippyDan says “Very hard skill matchup. Jax wins level 1 with his E and wins late game. Possible to kill, but an experienced Jax will not get stunned by parry. TIPS: [1] Bait his E and All-in trade. [2] Parry right when he leaps onto you so it guarantees to land.”
Hecki says “Jax can be hard at times. He was a candidate for [EVEN]-Tier but the problem is he will outscale you. If you fall behind in the early game you should rush Plated Steelcaps and stay out of his Q range since he will abuse the fact he can just run you down with Blade of the Ruined King. Look for trades if he misses his E stun after jumping on you.”
IvernLover74856 says “If you press E while he has counter strike up, he can hold it and prevent you proccing E, then jump on you and stun you when you have no damage. You win the trade if he wastes counter-strike, but if he waits for you to E there's no way you win an all-in.
Looking at the descriptions for your E and his (you have 4 seconds to refresh the duration on an E mark), you'd think you'd be able to keep your e through Jax dodge and stun (2s dodge+1s stun). You can't, even if you buy dagger. ”
ArshieMeBob says “Kind of an unwinnable matchup. He will jump on you and beat you up if you try to auto him, and it doesn't help that he can JAQUES: EVASION: COUNTER STRIKE. DODGE ALL INCOMING BASIC ATTACKS”
Rocking Masterock says “Auto attack only champion and vulnerable to poke.
I want to be honest, you can go by preference about maxing Q or E first, just make sure to not fight inside his E and wait for ganks. ”
Yumi Project says “WATCH OUT! A good Jax always hit his stun! When he engage you with his E>Q>W combo immediately retreat with your E>W. If Somehow achieve his wicked plan, your on disadvantage.”
KoKoNwoo says “When he uses counterstrike (his e) can do one of two things. 1. W instantly to reduce damage. 2. q to minions far away so he can't stun you. Your passive outvalues his by a huge margin so when you get max stacks you win as long as you avoid counterstrike.”
bobokoks says “This matchup can be pretty tricky. Try to use your W when he's just about to stun you. You can E him out of his Q if you're good enough. The problem is that his evasion stance takes out your main damage source (autoattacks). But if you use your W smart and build steelcaps then you shouldn't be so far behind.”
Unmasked Kayle says “[Standard, bone plating] Jax is not a hard matchup, but it requires knowledge and it is very unforgiving if you ever fall behind. Walk out of his E stun if possible. Always kite with Q and immediately retreat when he jumps in. Try to bait his R cooldown and then win with yours. He is one of the very few champions that scale as hard as you. Late you cant win sidelane vs him.”
IAmStryker says “Starting itmes:
-cloth armor + 4 pots
Lane:
You will out scale him at some point, but the laning phase is hell. Go W second to be able to dodge his W stun.
Going the Anti-Burst build is an option, unless you win lane somehow.”
Val3n says “I mean, he is Jax. Your ult will do nothing to him, since his E will reduce the AoE damage AND will stun you. He can get to you and also escape very easily. ”
CFCryo says “Despite the dodge of his E, he's not particularly threatening. Watch out for him holding onto his third autoattack (post level 6), as he can do significant burst to outtrade you with careful management of his abilities.
The main reason he's so easy is because he only has one gap closer and no movement speed. Flaying the jump will keep him off you, though he may still be able to land the stun. If he does prematurely E as he leaps, use your Q instead for the same reasons as the Fiora matchup, the stun will NOT interrupt your Q animation, so you'll minimise his advantage. From there you can hit him back before flaying him away for distance, and kite to outtrade.
When his Q is on cooldown, he is extremely vulnerable to poke and bullying. You'll be more worried about pushing too far and getting ganked, so don't let your guard down.”
NeroZYN says “Jax is a tricky one, due to his ability to all in with his Q to bait out your E, and repeat the process. The trick here is to poke heavily with your auto attacks, and if he proceeds to try and Q on to you, then use your Q against the wall to do more damage and E away from his stun. Try and stay close to him so that if he misses the stun you are in auto attack range to deal more dmg. Also, DONT underestimate his damage”
Alan234 says “Go aery if youre confident or fleet footwork if youre not to kite him. Optionally you can start with cloth armor and 4 pots to get through laning phase. The more agressive the jax plays, the harder the lane is, so cloth 4 can save you from those struggles.
I recommend getting 3 points into q
Jax can sort of just Q E on you and you cant do that much besides Q him back and then poke him out. Poking is difficult due to corrupted potion and tp. If he q's onto you try to throw a shroom on the wave, after he lost his burst there is a 5 second window where you can usually punish before he can jump on you again. If you get a jgl gank you can snowball the lane. If you fall behind youre doomed (stat check)”
TXK_ says “You can win early duels if played correctly however Jax will outscale and 1v1 you post lvl 6. If Jax builds BORK, avoid trades to the best of your ability. As of 10.16, be wary that his E cooldown is shorter than it was before. Avoid increasing it's damage by not autoing during it's duration and only using spells.”
Mr. Popper says “Jax can be very difficult. that being said his early game is weaker then it was last season. taking grasp or fleet has proven very powerful into him with either a hard kit build with stridebreaker or going for a bruiser build with goredrinker.”
Kartagoo says “So Jax is really weird cuz early you can either just shrug his E stun off or just kite it with Q but when he gets 6 his burst actually gets really high and his bonus armor and magic resist makes him really tanky. I had success with ghost ignite lane to snowball the lane to get fast my steel caps and Sunfire item so he cant rly fight me anymore”
aurus666lol says “You can escape from his E+Q by your E. When he hit lvl 6, try to not make long fights versus him. ATM some Jaxs are building , so be smart and wait for his E, not PC + E.”
WillowSprout says “He'll be annoying AF if he knows how to perfectly time his Pounce and Stun onto you even if you cast your W-E Combo when he pounces you. make sure to buy Rylai's and Zhon against this fucking bitch.”
LilPaniniUwU says “You can't really win vs him, you'll get outfarmed, and he will stun you if you get too close. He is one of your main counters. Another personal favorite ban.

MrShykun says “MATCHUP SKILLED FAITE ATTENTION AU STACKS DE SON PASSIF IL PEUT FACILEMENT ESQUIVER VOTRE Q AVEC LE SIEN, SI IL VOUS SAUTE DESSSUS ET E TOUT DE SUITE, UTILISEZ VOTRE E ET RECULER POUR METTRE UN Q (RAPPELONS QUE SI VOUS FAITE E+Q ASSEZ RAPIDEMENT L'ENNEMIS EST TOUJOURS CC AU MOMENT OU LE Q LE HIT) NE PRENEZ PAS DE MAUVAIS TRADES N'HESITER PAS A LE FREEZE CONQUEROR EST BIEN JAX EST TRES VULNERABLE AU POKE TANT QU'iL NA PAS LA BOTRK ESSAYER D'ABUSER DE CELA.

OnslaughtOfPwnys says “His 3rd abillity is no fun for an Aatrox player. Try dodging his stun (E) and then try on taking him. I suggest you to buy Thornmail.
"A worthy vessel! Come, Jax!"”
Iczere says “Can block your Q with his E, can close the gap between you and him, not that great of a matchup. try to get him to waste his E, then try to do as much damage as possible to him before his E comes back. Make sure to blind when he attacks.”
SemPelo says “You can easily block his combo with your E if you have more or less the same movement speed.
Armor boots are a great choice against him.”
Prezibogen says “It is a skill matchup.
Be aware of his Level 2 Jump.
Rush Steelcaps because most of his damage comes from Auto-Attacks.
Use E when he is about to Stun you with his E to push him away.
If possible use R after he Ults to get his bonus Resistances (but don't wait too long).”
KillMeKillMe says “Don't go in on him when he's doing his spinning counter thing and try to poke him down. Other than that it's a pretty normal matchup.”
GlaDyOfficial says “You cant stun him, you cant escape him you cant really ult him.
Personally a really hard Match-up, ban him if you are not confident in your Skarner skills.”
Bombabo says “Jax and Urgot both have the tools to beat the other, so it entirely depends on how the matchup is played. A smart Jax will force quick trades with a Q/W, saving his E for when you activate purge. If jax does use his E early, you can use your own E to negate it and likely win the trade”
Vandenelis says “generally stronger than you in the early game. when you get q he shouldnt be able to use his stun on you, because if you q under yourself he will either get knocked up, and you can run out of his e range, or he will have to dodge your q, letting you run away from him before he can recast the spell. His trades are stronger than yours in the early levels, but you are stronger than him when you get level 6, but he hasn't goten divine sunderer yet. After he gets the item you are weaker than him, unless you are ahead.”
DarkyTheReal says “It's playable if you freeze under your tower because you can poke through his E. But you get outscaled late game. Go corruption (If their jglr is ap otherwise go cloth armor)”
XtheZ115 says “All Jax really has against you is his stun, but oh what a disadvantage it gives you. If you can tilt him into chasing, congrats, but don't expect to win lane by fighting him. Proxy and you should be fine. ”
apkibum says “vs Jax is a true display of which one of you guys are higher skill. A good jax can tear you apart, but a bad jax is passive and easy to kill. He doesn't have much range and will jump ontop of you. as long as you are ahead you can win this matchup pretty easy as long as the enemy is not jacked. ”
Lupus_ToplaneMain says “Same as always, only easy because low elo. parry his e and you can kill him. Dont towerdive if his e is up, you will most likely die. Play safe.”
SettVEVO says “Some people might think Jax counters Sett and it might be true if the Jax is a god, but this matchup is pretty easy if you know the enemy well enough.
Jax will want to E your Q so don't Q reset or start trades with it. He will take one of two trades, a short one where he Qs on top of you with E and runs as soon as he stuns you, the way you counter this is by E stunning into W before his counterstrike stun goes through. He will take a long trade if you're low or he has ult. DO NOT FIGHT HIM DURING HIS ULT. Unless he is low enough to get killed by your W he has insane resistances during it. Just walk away when he uses it, he can't stick to you if he used his Q and E to engage. You can also ult when his E stun is about to land to deny it. You can win level 1 if he starts E by leveling up W as soon as you see him use it and using W before he stuns you. With Jax it's all about being smarter then him. He has his tools you have yours. Mid to Late game you won't win against him cause he was literally designed to be the best 1v1 champion ever. You are better at teamfights so he will probably splitpush, apply the same trading tips against him in his splitpush. Black Cleaver is good
in mid game against him.”
Engel8844 says “If u dont have flash and miss to cancel his Q with E ur probably dead. His E denies so much of ur damage. If u dont feel like it, dont fight him. Poke, Farm, Scale.”
Byku2506 says “Slow push him and dont get poke too much from aa W. Always when he is jumping or active E use E then immidietly Q for 1st stack. After mini rework Jax is really good vs Darius.”
Fryx says “A good Jax can make your early game hard and if he gets Blade of the ruined king or Divine sunderer he will do real damage so keep that in mind. He can't do much against you if you use your q and run away to get your passive back. And your e is very effective on him. Take care of his all ins, his e will block your w and this can hurt a lot. Put him down early and keep your foot on the gas, ignore botlane.”
LoLReal says “Jax has a lot of trouble against Mordekaiser. He can't block any of our damage and we steal his ult stats in our ult. We out trade him at all points except level 1 with counterstrike. Don't overcommit level 1 and this lane is a breeze.”
qosmox says “You need to punish Jax super hard early on to keep him from scaling. Similarly to the irelia.matchup a a key thing is to force trades before he’s fully stacked up his passive. Just drag the Q through him and start going at him, and the moment he presses E you want to stand inside him and taunt backwards so he doesn’t get the stun off on you. That way he gets 0 value out of his E and you can just keep trading. And without his E jax is basically useless early on which is why this is such a free matchup.”
SanLourdes says “Jax isn't too much of a threat during the laning phase since he has to walk up to you to do damage. Your Q can stop his and stun him. The only ability you have to worry about is his E. Do not let him use it when you are charging your Q. Do not feed him as he scales extremely fast. Once you build armor he should be much less of a threat. Frozen Heart is a good idea in this matchup.”
CucumberSandwich says “Skill matchup that usually is decided in the early game. You can still damage him with your W and E when he is using his E. This means you can engage with Q > E > W, he will use his E. Then stay in his E for a bit so he thinks you will tank the stun, and try to walk out at the last second. This will guarantee a good trade.”
JustForVix says “I only mention Jax as he is my perma ban, but literally every champ that can easily jump on you and has some hard CC (Ex. Renekton, Camille) is an hard counter. So I recommend to use this pick as a counter pick and not a first pick.”
Viego99 says “hard match up you need to kite him yournge is 225 jax have 125 .you need dodge e to win duel in early game .after 6 or late game you never win 1v1 because e have low cooldown.but yourteamfight is better.”
Lost Chapter says “I honestly just.... I don't know what to tell you with this champion. Spam ping your jungler so he comes when he is pushed in. Try to farm and when he jumps in use your Q + E behind so you get out of his stun or any other damage incoming. At lvl 6 you lose because of his ult. It's definitely stronger than yours in this build.”
calbino says “Jax is pretty annoying. He either rushes Bork or Sunderer, and still has innate tankiness due to his R, and he takes a % less damage from your Qs in his E. He'll constantly try to initate on you with Q or poke you with W. Fight him when those are down.”
Jaori says “The only way Jax can beat Trundle is by standing under his tower for the first 15 minutes of the game. I'm not joking. If enemy Jax knows how to play and hugs his turret, try to freeze the wave. He will be forced to fight and eventually get killed.”
RareParrot says “he outtrades with just Q+E because you cant auto him you dont win most scenarios unless jax misplays, build tabi and play extremely safe”
PlasmaFox1 says “Jax has counterstrike which can block your autos. He is also very strong at 1v1 and late game. If he buys armor, you might have a hard time beating him. You should bait out his leap/counterstrike to then run him down with ghost.”
ForgottenProject says “Skill matchup.
[1]you can fight him level 6 but I like to bait out his Ult so I dont have to damage through the insane amount of armor he gets from it.
[2]Play around your Conqueror.
[3]Try to parry his Counterstrike, if you're able to do it you will win the trade. *Some Jax will vary the timing at which they stun you so you're gonna have to learn to predict that*”
ForgottenProject says “Scary matchup if vs a decent Jax.
E away from him when he Q jumps on you. You will NOT escape his Counterstrike Stun range BUT you can get away from him while Counterstrike is active so he wont auto you for free!
YOUR W Armor/Magic Resist buff is VERY strong vs him due to Jax being Mixed Damage!”
epic blitz top says “ACTIVE: Jax enters Evasion, a defensive stance, for 2 seconds, causing all non-turret basic attacks against him to be dodged. Jax also takes 25% reduced damage from all champion area of effect abilities. Counter Strike can be recast after 1 second.
At the end of the duration, Jax stuns all nearby enemies for 1 second and deals physical damage to them, increased by 20% for each attack dodged, up to a 100% increase.
Minimum Physical Damage: 55 / 80 / 105 / 130 / 155 (+ 50% bonus AD) Maximum Physical Damage: 110 / 160 / 210 / 260 / 310 (+ 100% bonus AD)
To win this matchup, Steelcaps early, look for short trades where you E avoiding his E. If you land a hook where his helicopter is off, he is still able to block your E UNLESS you W before.”
dissociate says “Pretty annoying to fight, as he can easily bait you into bad engages by just using his E at the best timing. I'd recommend using the poke build if you want to have a good landing phase, but it's still possible to survive with the regular build as long as you don't fork over early kills.
I would ban Jax though.”
turtlehamstercroc says “Don't waste your e when he is using his own e, just wait for it to end, with conqueror, last stand, w attack speed steroid, ult and passive shield you win more prolonged trades early on, after he gets some items you will start losing hard, so after lasing phase is over group up with your team to get picks with q instead of trying to duel him”
SavagePridestalker says “Jax on lane is very easy to beat, especially with Grasp and W max. You shouldn't have a problem with him until he gets 2-3 items and level 11, but most Rengar builds lose to a level 11 Jax.”
a1a7s45 says “You have the advantage early game but late game, Jax becomes a split pushing monster. Try to match his split pushing by going Tri Force. Jax has an easily dodgable stun. Also punish him for jumping on you if he ever does it with a fuck ton of damage because he used his escape to engage you. Yeah.”
oogoogerson says “Before level 6 he is pretty bad against you. Try and get in a kill or two before he gets his R. Once he hits level 6 you should not try and engage yourself, wait for him to engage and then try and avoid his E and his R passive. Take Ignite to farm early kills or take Teleport just to be safe.”
Safolet says “I really like fighting Jax being Gnar, because you can stop the stun of his E just by jumping, and if for some reason you are close before and Jax has not spent his Q to get close to you, try to find some way to jump double or a wall to escape and then continue to make farming difficult with Q and basic attacks. In case you are in MegaGnar, you will have everything to just throw your two stuns with him with the combo and then go out with the E.”
RedNBlue says “Jax can't really duel you to level 3 but once he is level 3 and has his E counter strike he can turn the tides on you early and get some gold off of you.”
AlanVenator says “His E can deny the whole damage from your W. Late game he can get pretty scary. You should abuse him early, try to outplay his counterstrike. (Fling him when his counterstrike is about to stun you)”
Breadcrumbs says “Jax outscales you fairly quickly and can block all your autos (which in turn makes him deal more damage) - start E to play it safe early and avoid his stun, and then try to poke him down before all inning him.”
SethPRG says “With his recent AD buffs fighting Jax has become a lot harder. To have any chance of victory in this matchup, you'll want to start with W, as he will most likely learn Counterstrike first. You can bully him a little bit in the early levels by E stunning him into Q AA AA before he can counterstrike. If he still uses it and tries to hit you, you still have your W to hit him with so long as he can’t get away with his Q. Past level 6 you will want to use the full 2 seconds of being unstoppable from your ult for when you think his E stun will proc, this only works though if it reaches its max cooldown, as he can’t cast the stun early during your ult. As such you are at a disadvantage, but if you can do it you’ll have more than enough damage to kill him. Later in the game though, it’s best for you to stop his Q hop with your ult to catch him out. If you want to fight him 1v1 late game, Trinity Force is best here because of his insane scaling, and so long as you can get some Q AA and a good W in, you can win, this is because most of his core old items are nerfed (Blade of the Ruined King, Wit's End, etc). If you want to play for your team fight and catching him out, go Stridebreaker. He will most likely try to dive your backline and stun them, so slowing him and peeling him away from your team would ensure their survival. Start Doran’s Shield, take Bramble early, and get Plated Steelcaps after. Go Resolve Secondary, and take Bone Plating.”
El Leon Gnar says “Jax is only a major threat because of his ability to snowball. Save E for when he jumps onto you, when he puts up his parry hit him with a Q and try to trade back when he runs back to the wave. Try not to fight too much until mid-game.”
doozy99 says “Bad match up if Jax knows what he's doing. His E blocks your basic attacks and Q. When he's trying to jump on you with his E wait for it to be over, try to time your E right before his E goes off. Usual rune page, take Shield Bash and Unflinching secondary. He scales way better than you do, so you have no chance of winning against him if you're even at any point of the game.”
joelspaho121 says “Skill matchup but slightly jax favored.
Dshield start with sorc tree.
Tabi rush.
Jax is excellent at all stages of the game and therefore it's no surprise that he can easy win the game if he gets a lead so like just like in irelia lane, mistakes are not allowed. Look to fight jax only during the time his q is on cd.if he greeds to E you by over extending walk behind him, wait the stun out, pop ghost and run him down. Dont cast Q if you know he has Q up because that way he can easily outtrade you.he spikes really hard at 6 so if lane goes even for that long it might become really hard for you. Look to set up a freeze during early levels so you can build a steady advantage over jax.also do not look to fight him while he has passive stacks up because it can make a huge difference in trading.like I said earlier, be super careful and no room for mistakes.”
Xarmat says “When his damage output is high, he can hit you down. Use Traps where you are standing and poke him down. Only use E when he activate his Stun, his cooldown is higher then yours, he will try to bait it out from you.”
Kindredgarten says “He can just jump on you and right click you to death. Very hard to duel even if kiting because of his jump but it can maybe be winnable early if you snowball. Scales as much or more than you. Luckily, Jax jungle is not that common.”
Kaizin says “I'd suggest starting E into jax that way when he starts spinning you can place E on top of yourself. It's either going to mitigate damage and damage jax, or you're going to take some damage and jax will too. Your W doesn't go through his spin at all, so don't waste the cooldown, same as your Q. You can take short trades against Jax but but even at least 6 he wins a straight 1v1 if played correctly. Try to take short trades early and get jungle assistance. Otherwise try to farm and use your power in teamfights, late game he'll be stronger than you so avoid the 1v1. ”
Tulho says “CANCELA SEU AUTOS-ATAQUES COM SEU E(CONTRA-ATAQUE), MAS TEM UM TIME QUE VOCÊ CONSEGUE STUNAR QUANDO ELE ACABAR SEU E.
VOCÊ TOMA OUTSCALE CUIDADO.
RECOMENDO SER CAMPADO PELO JG PARA ATRASAR O GAME DO JAX.
”
I am so chill says “this guy is insane against you his lvl1 is even with urs but dont try to cheese him at bush keep poking him if he jumps on you use ur e to fall back and w q him he is stronger than you after midgame and you must respect his burst damage.”
AlexFL7000 says “If he's smart, he will play on top of you and dodge your W very easily. He will use his counter-strike to block your autos, try not to auto-attack his counter-strike. He outscales you after getting a couple of items. Very good ban!”
UlisesFRN says “Dont Q into his E. Try to block his W basic with your own W and you are good. You should win all 1v1 until he gets Trinity/Botrk. Even then,if played well, you should be able to deal with him. He is far stronger than you past 30 minutes”
CaptianMike says “Jax isn't that much of a problem. Fight him when his counter strike is down and hit your skill shots. His ult does nothing against your ult because your damage is TRUE”
SirGRC says “Worth a Ban: Yes
His E is better than your E. Jax does not need very much to snowball and get a lead. His stun is annoying but not unbearable. The real trouble comes in once he gets his ultimate. Another problem with Jax is that even if you do well against him, he is just going to spend all game split-pushing. Do not be afraid to build an hourglass. Also, remember it is better to be down 20-30 CS than to be up 2-3 deaths.”
ApollonATH says “Jax counters your kit . His E doesnt let you Q or W him so you cant out sustain him in fights. Fight ONLY when he has no E and you must do anything you can to land your E R . If the jax is bad enough you can predict his E and one shot him with Nashort tooth pouwer spike ”
deathwalker7119 says “Probably one of the most balanced matchups in the game, but late game jax can shit on you if you dont parry his E and if he has heal cut. You need to be trying to parry E at all stages of the game, this is what makes the matchup simply so hard, he has the advantage there because he can hold it for a very long time to try and bait parry. You have to study how the Jax player uses his E, whether or not he pops it instantly or if he likes to hold onto it for a while. You CAN Q vitals during E, just not auto. Look to ult him right when you stun him with parry on his own E.”
Humitaxx says “The only thing you need to be careful of against Jax, is to not get stunned by his counterattack, he can stack tons of damage and attack speed if the fight gets prolonged, so try and abuse him as much as you can so he can't get that much ahead of you, try and trade with him but as soon as he is doing his counterattack, stun him with your E and walk away, then trade again.”
top is high impact XD says “if the jax is a one trick you'll have a hard time try to bait him into missing his stun if you can do that you should be fine, start w and freeze the wave if you can, pushing into jax gets you nothing”
JeanMichelBambi says “Jax's clear isn't that great in the jungle but he can beat you in a duel at all stages of the game, he is to be avoided but can be dealt with if your teammates are sentient”
UlisesFRN says “You can destroy him for the first 25 minutes of the game. Just dont mess it up, you have pick advantage here but if you make mistakes he will punish you hard. Dont W into his E, thats the key of the matchup. Jax is squishy early game so you should poke him down with Q as much as you can. Dodging his E with your E is not worth it since your cooldown is higher, instead try to bait it out and walk away. if he jumps on you, you can turn around and kill him. Your sustain is great, he has mana issues early on so you can force him out of lane.”
Snow Day Zoe says “Hard matchup if the jax is good.
He can block your autos and stun to insta pop you before the W happens.
Play safe and play undertower, wait for ganks.”
Nekosett says “Most bruiser top laners are even with sett but jax outduels you late and is really annoying after 6 buy plated and also play for the team you will outclass him as in teamfights if hes not fed you will be more effective play around his e in lane and abuse his early levels bait his r and look to set him behind ”
Excuruseh says “Aside from his E, you can easily kill a Jax if he Leap Strikes to the wrong person. If he burns his E on your clone or uses it on wave, all in him.”
Excuruseh says “Jax has an ability that blocks auto attacks, and with your Q and W being auto attacks, this can be a problematic matchup. If he wastes his E, punish it.”
TwoKingzz says “He is a very strong champion if you give him kills. Otherwise get a sunfire and Max E and get ionian boots. Baiting Jax into ganks is extremely easy since he must hard commit. Pretty easy overall.”
RealIreliaCarriesU says “He beats you level 1 unless you have minions set up for passive, but usually its better to start with e. Don’t be afraid to auto him because if he presses e then you can just simply stun him and run away. This will screw up the wave and it will push to you and you can keep going for sneaky autos because your auto range is a lot longer but if you just go for farm its also fine. You can use this to get level advantages which are pretty big early on. Try to keep your passive at 5 stacks and auto attacking him whenever he is in range, if he is close enough you go for an e and if you land your e don’t be afraid to q on him and auto. After lvl 6 It gets easier but it also gets very punishing if you make any mistakes after this point. At level 6 jax gets a lot of extra damage from his R passive every third auto and is really tanky with his ult. You have to start with a full passive in every fight and you also have to make sure that his passive is not stacked, if it is his full passive is stronger than yours. This is generally how the lane plays out until level 11. If you have not gotten ahead of him after lvl 11 do not try to 1v1 him unless you have help on the way. His ult passive does too much damage and his E cooldown will be very short but if you are ahead the same concept from above applies.
”
Womsky says “Conqueror/grasp set up, long sword/doran's blade start, jax match up can be played in different ways, there is the grasp build, which relays on abusing grasp early and getting as much of a lead as possible early by trading with him in using ur grasp to win trades, this kind of set up starts doran's blade into a tiamat but there is a problem, grasp falls off big time and doesn't scale, you play to win lane only, and get as much of a lead as possible cause of jax E, he will out scale you anyways if the game goes long enough, and there is the conqueror build with ravenous hydra rush, l really feel much more comfortable while playing it, let me tell you why, l'm not forced to do pull out plays on jax early/kills or get giant leads, l can also take nimbus for extra over all speed in 1v1 or teamfights, and l have conqueror which scales heavily better than grasp, extra damages and all, but there is some downsides for sure which is:
This lane is EXTREMELY sensetive early, you do not want to take ANY bad trades into jax, he will chug on his posions and get back full hp and pressure you and make you loss farm, so be very careful early and dont force trades, full focus on farm and getting your tiamat as quickly as possible, once you get tiamat you will be in amazing position to start hurting the jax, take trades carefully and don't walk next to him without fury to AA trade if he has E up or he has an item/lvl/hp lead, he will win, just get agro when you hit tiamat spike and try to get a kill, a very good jax will go very even with you in lane if you don't play it perfectly, care for level 2 rush and counter strike leap combo on you, it can doom your lane in two minutes in the game, if you reach the hydra point while having a kill and cs lead, if the jax doesn't have tabies, he is doomed, you can do AA tiamat spin away twice into a dive if he gets around 40% hp, if you get a huge lead on jax or take herald, DO NOT take his turret down earlier than 13+ minutes, keep him under pressure, keep him away from farming, kill him and repeat killing him, don't let him free farm cause he will outscale, so try to set him behind as much as possible so he can't come back...
If the jax gets a lead/kills on you, try to farm as safely as possible, and relay on your team to carry, if your team is lossing then just Alt + F4, ignite is highly recommanded, second option is teleport.”
tibs2 says “Bramble rush. Kite with your q and w his q. Unlosable if you can react to his q but even if you don't and you have bramble ur chillin tbh.”
shinsuky says “You can easily beating him, but warning to the stun and his dmg in late game. If you are in difficulties, just try to freeze lane against him and wait his engage for punishing him. But if you are beating him, just roll him in his own cinder.”
SadmanV3 says “Similiar to Fiora, Jax has the potential to heavily harass you in lane, with his jump, stun and block.
*Tips for laning Jax
1. Good wave management
2. knock off his shield with a basic attack before hitting with Q
3. withering when he jumps in.”
Warwick do Brasilzaun says “Ele com sua Habilidade E, consegue desviar seus Auto Ataques e suas habilidades Q e R. Você pode ganhar dele facilmente no Early Game, pois a Habilidade E dele tem o Tempo de Recarga maior, e ele fica mais vuneravel.”
Ponkstronk says “Max W. You have to punish him early. He will outscale you at 2 items. His helicopter counters you hard. Try to stun him before he stuns you.”
DeleDulux says “the best he can do is doing Q and E so after that he can only do AA
fight him 1 vs 1 at level 3 when he's at level 6 can kill you so if u fed is easy if he's with 1 item more than you try not fight him”
CertifiedTrundle says “Op laner even in early game
His e stuns u and he can q away
Try to bait his e and/or his q
He's a easy to kill Easy to get killed hero”
god of bronx says “1-doran
2-w a la e
3-q pa fuera cuando inicia
4-que se te tire , no te tires pa salvo que lo verges
5-early y mid tuyos , late peleao”
Noodles912 says “Just afk farm. You and jax scale evenly, but you do more damage in late game team fights. If he does a Q+E or E+Q engage, wait till 2 seconds after his E, then use W. This is because Jax cannot recast E for 2 seconds after the 1st cast. Late game, blow his team up so no one can help him.”
PiscesPomf says “SKILL MATCH-UP, DEPENDS ON THE JAX PLAYER
For some Fiora players, Jax is a hard match-up, and for others it's an easy match-up. The fact is that it depends of the Jax player. His E can be activated when he want so try to adapt to his style : some Jax players wait until the end so they will make you use your parry before their E, some other players will try to E before you parry, and some others, the most annoying, are doing both.
Try to analyse how he launches E and then counter him. If you parry him you win the trade, if not you loose it. Good luck !”
Raizins says “Jax is quite straightforward to deal with by knocking him away with W. But it's important to note that his E dodge prevents you from stunning him with Alistar E.”
teemodumbstupid says “Early game he will perma jump on you, so try to stay out of range. He blocks your Q damage with his E, so I max E instead of Q and go Phase Rush. You can poke him to a point where he can't jump on you without dying.”
Urgodzilla says “His E counters your W, which is your main ability, try to use your E to cancel his stun. This matchup has become even harder since BoTRK was buffed for melees. Ban him or Fiora.”
Oskarl3 says “in laning phase he isn't much of a problem, you can cancel his leap strike with your q and slow him so he cant ever all in you, but he will outscale you and shred you and your carries late game.”
Tsundere Tahm says “Justo antes de que te stunee, lanza tu q, así lo alcanzaras aunque el lance q para escapar, en este match gana el que haga mejores trades.”
jmp_01_ says “Strong and well-scaling champion. He can press E - Counter Strike and dodge all your auto-attacks (including Q - Knuckle Down. He can also dodge your W - Haymaker with his Q - Leap Strike. His Level 6 is strong with its passive that deals extra magic damage on every 3rd auto-attack. Try your best to not let him scale.”
negoZoma69 says “Very skill dependent, you'll need to be able to W just before he stuns you so you can negate his dmg and retaliate after. Becomes difficult as game passes so you may need to build everfrost and peel for your team.”
Draconic56 says “Try not to get stunned by his E because he will damage you and Q out try to E him back when he tries to stun you. If he jumps on you, you will win longer trades. When you get your ult you can destroy him in the death realm try to save your E for when he tries to Q away. He will outscale you HARD. If he gets 2 items and is the same level as you he will be able to kill you. But you are more helpful in team fights. Just try to get ahead of him and he is free food for you.”
SanLourdes says “You counter Jax really well. The only thing to keep in mind is to not let him stack his passive before you go all in. Your ult steals the some of the stats he gains from his ult, so you don't have to worry about that either. Since he has to stay close to you to deal damage, your passive will completely melt him. Your E allows you to disengage from his Q or engage if you need to. Try not to let him land his E, as it will slow your passive activation. The only other thing to note is that he is also a hyper-scaling champion. If you die to him a few times you will more often than not find the lane unwinnable. Build your regular items.”
Kokob5 says “Will depend on how good the Jax is, if he's good he'll poke you with Q and W and then activate E while walking away until you're low enough for him to all in. It's best to wait his E out and then E him back in and trade that way or try to combo him to proc passive before he can activate his E. If he rushes bork you need to respect when he gets it even if you're ahead.”
SeptikYT says “You cannot really 1v1 Jax as he gets E first, meaning that he can just proc it so that you cannot trade with him well as your passive gives you 2 auto attacks, but his E dodges it, thus your level 1 trades are worsened, and don't forget, he outscales you hard and his Q jump range is longer than your W range. Best you ban him.”
Zaloufi says “Jax is a very strong champion and can be tricky to beat for a newer Darius. You really do not want to die to Jax in this lane. If he gets fed he will be too strong to match on a splitpush and will easily be able to 1v2. Bork rush also makes Jax insanely hard to 1v1 that's why bramble / steelcap rush is very good against him. When your both level 1, start with your Q beause he'll probably takes his E. A good Jax will most likely jump into you with Q if you try to Q him so try to bait his Q or wait for an opportunity. If he jumps with his E, you have to grab him and then Q him, you'll win the trade by healing and doing some free damage. You can't beat him if his passive is stacked up, you have to think about him like a DPS toplaner. When his E is up, don't use your W instantly, hit him with it just as the stun goes off because even if you are stunned, the animation for the W will continue playing and it will actually hit him. Remember that you have a better power spike at lvl 6 than him.”
KingFershid says “Meh I don't know how to feel about this matchup, it can go either way: you outlane Jax or Jax outlanes you. So try to play safe and engage him only if he doesn't have E.”
Docoda says “A well timed W and movement negates his attempts to stun you, but one mistake could get you killed. Your goal is to poke him down in the first few levels and keep him from getting farm.”
Dorom says “Early game you win hard, but once he gets BotRK... you can just ff. Since he has a free dash + stun it means you basically cannot trade him once he gets an item.”
kduudsz says “Jax é um matchup muito facil por ela ter o dash que da a possibilidade dela sair do e dele, eu joguei apenas uma vez contra e n tive nenhum dificuldade. Usei pezinho mas sinto que não é necessario, Conqueror é a melhor opção.”
SpartanDumpster says “Incredibly strong trades, has to be in your W range to stun you, and he can just Q to a minion or a ward he places near you instead of onto you directly.”
TwistedDemon says “Play properly early game - pay attention to his stun's range and how many stacks he has on the passive. Jax has very long cooldowns, you can abuse him very well early game. Don't expect to keep winning once this guy has Botrk or Trinity, or any completed item, really - if you didn't get any advantage and just farmed equally. Your exhaust helps a lot with his engages and you can bait him with it.”
gladiatorrr4 says “Safe your E against Jax! Go for some poke when he is trying to cs. If he jumpes on you, try to E away. You should be fine once his E is down.”
raede says “Jax can be a strong champion if fed but against Volibear if you play well around his E the lane can easily be you killing him 5 times. The best move really is just to bait him to Q in and use his E. You just place your E and after he combos you what is he going to do? In this case try to W twice and disengage as he gets his abilities back. If he goes in AGAIN ult during his E as it will deal damage and stop you from being CCed, after just W again and he should be dead especially if you have bramble vest Jax cannot compete with the healing and tankiness.”
jpaul2077 says “Early levels you should have no problems dueling Jax. He can't block your Q with his counter-strike and Jax has a very weak laning phase as well. However, Jax outscales Hecarim very hard. After trinity force and Shojin its near impossible to kill him 1v1. Look to group with your team and force objectives/roam constantly to punish Jax's early game.”
Nerux113 says “Insuportável se o cara jogar bem não tem oque fazer você e totalmente cancelado eu aconselho banir ele sempre ou caso você não queira a sua única opção e esperar o E dele acabar pra tentar bater nele.”
Pawn Sacrifice says “Jax is another skill matchup because of his E. If you can dodge or null his E (with your E + Q), you can make this happen... if the trades are favoring him, just rush gauntlet and wait for your junglers gank - don't forget to juke him - and perma W - at lvl 9 -. Be carefull when you're ahead, don't let he farm alone... Jax is a champion that can outscale you... he just need time and farm.”
Rime101 says “Max Q.
Use your E the second he jumps on you
Combo for instastun is Q> W> E. use this to stun and run/ reposition
Make sure he’s 40% HP before you all in.
Don’t underestimate his E reducing all your aoe damage by 25% + the resists he gets from his ult”
Alekra says “Not very scary although i do not know the matchup with the new items. Take E lvl 1 to counter a possible lv 1 engage with his E. You win if you are able to play around his E with your Q.”
Erenando says “He will be annoying in the early game since he blocks all your Q's with his E, but if you manage to play save like in most of your matchups he'll be a free kill in mid - lategame”
lulw says “Who wants a piece of the champ? Well, sett does. Sett vs jax pretty even matchup. If he e's onto you, try to stun him, and pull him in so you can chase him with Q afterwards. Hes pretty strong. At 6 try to ult through his E so you cancel his E. First back plated steelcaps. Jax is a pretty strong duelist so don't under estimate him. Abuse your early game power to get a lead on him. ”
GrGamingTeo says “Jax will try to activate his Q to dodge the blade of your Q and his E to dodge your W and all incoming AA. You need to bait his Q before you use yours. If he decides to Q on to you, you just have to E, ghost away to dodge his stun and run straight at him and you win 100%. If you get a 1-2 kill lead the lane is over.”
SeptikYT says “His E dodges your Q, meaning that you cannot really damage him when he procs E, just get away whenever he presses it, then do your combo.”
Olaf Only says “Don't fight him if he has his passive stacked up.
Don't Auto attack through his E as you will take more damage.
All fights will be close, so you have to try and poke him down before you all-in.
Olaf is better in teamfights but Jax outscales HARD.”
lolkayleee says “[Grasp + Trinity/Divine]
[Start W.]
level 1, try to bait out his E by walking up to him and pretending to auto him. Hopefully you didn't walk into him too much and idealy you just get hit by his E and maybe just 1 auto attack. Auto him back if he's in range after his stun goes off but usually they just walk away. W him to get your health back and auto him with a grasp proc + shield bash. Try to rush level 2. If he's good he'll try to rush level 2 as well. If he gets level 2 first you just have to back off and wait for the wave to come in. Never hookshot onto him if your HP bars are even. He has Lethal Tempo. You want to look for short trades with your Q + grasp procs. If you stand close to walls while his E is in the air you can stun him and walk away from his stun. Look to short trade while his E is on CD. In an all in, try to dodge his E stun with your R (you have to predict it, but usually they will try to extend their E for as long as they can). TBH you could just ban Jax if you're set on picking Camille. He beats Camille throughout all stages of the game, unlike some of her other counter picks which she can outscale and split push against. Camille can't split push vs Jax and can lose lane.”
DarkAuraLOL says “jax defenitely be annoying sometimes, but you can always outclear him by two levels, as usual invade him , try cheese on raptors into red, dont fight him on same health and lvls, get advantage, more items, then u can fight him, also after blue form you can one shot him and ult him on his e, easy matchup overall”
SpyDaFX says “Skill matchup. if you wait until his helicopter is down (E) you can W him, if you don't wait and u use ur W when he has helicopter up, you're probably dead, you can bait it out when E'ing in, waiting a little bit, then E'ing out. he might Q you when you E out so be ready. go go Conqueror.”
Ravenborne says “Start Lane with Q and heal up when he E's. Get E level 2 and when he Q E's onto you cancel the stun with your E and get some free Damage in. You will be stronger than him until he is Full Items Late Game.”
Mr.Kovacic says “Possibly Nasuss 2nd most lethal counter. He can leap on you, stun you and hit you with his W and keeps hitting you until you back off. If you try to ult and end his life. He will also ult and negate half of your Q damage. By the time his ult is over you will be dead or backed off the fight”
Kil4fun says “I would put this guy in extreme but depends on how he is built. If he rushes a heartbound axe, stay away from him at all costs. If he gets an auto off he will run you down with his E and timewarp tonic. Seriously bad news.
If he goes for BoRK first you can compete with him but he's still a huge pain.”
BigManYam says “Jax will harass you early from level 1 with his E to make your empowered Q worthless to trade against him. Just wait till mid game and you'll win with trades, but a good Jax will know not to fight you so don't bother chasing him and just be careful of ganks. ”
MarkFromSingedMains says “Whenever Jax says "Imagine if I had a real weapon" I think "Imagine if I played a real champion" because Jax slaps fast and hard. Bramble is good here, your W cancels his Q and in most cases your passive lets you outrun the range of his E, especially if you run at him, get the move speed, fling him and walk out.”
Whobick says “Jax is decent pre 6, and then easy 6-12, and then GG 12-18. A good Jax will farm up and get items early so he can get fed, or wait until late game. Your ult wrecks his stun so there goes most of his time for damage output. Just play safe and do not feed him!!!”
kingchas2 says “Skill matchup. Once he uses his Q on to you, try and Q him in mid-air. If you do this properly you can W and dodge his stun. If this situation happens you can then start beating on him with autos. Watch out for his passive early. The attack speed steroid for him makes him much stronger. ”
ModelitoTime says “Jax is not really difficult for Urgot at all, just poke him down and if he activates his counterstrike just wait around 1 second or a little less then E him, as a result of both of you being stunned. After that you have an extreme advantage over him because your ult is more effective than his so let him have it”
ChevalierArlo says “No low elo é raro achar um Jax bom, mas isso não significa que um mais ou menos deixa de ser perigoso. Faça poucas trocas, lance ghouls e tente fazer ele usar o atordoamento pra dar seu dano em seguida. Build 2 pra ele.”
xxskipskipxx says “Start with E and use it whenever Jax walks up to you with his E activated !!!
take W 2nd and deny his E Q engage with your EW!
You see him using E and walking to you and using Q right before he lands press EW instantly this will stun him and get you out of his E range and also deny his QW dmg !
Go for Short trades !! Q AA W Q E !”
Vielia says “When he E+Q you W to the closest way to get of his E range this will get you out of it, then fight him, things gets worse when he reaches late, you cant kill him”
SQU1DW4RD2 says “Easily outplayable, wait for his leap strike (Q) to go on cooldown and immediately start trading so he isnt able to use his gap closer after you fling (E) him away when he uses counter strike (E).”
Dannala says “Top: Early on you can easily out sustain and poke him down. It's easy to disengage from his all ins with HE and SE and avoid his only form of AoE until he builds hydra which makes it easy to snowball if he makes mistakes.
Late: Late game, however, he becomes a menace, can out split you, AoE your spiderlings with Hydra, stay on you with low cooldown gap closers and wins any 1v1.”
ineptpineapple says “This is a pretty even match up, if the jax is good he can mess you up pretty bad if not you can destroy him. Generally you beat him but 1 slip up or if you root him too late you will get wrecked.”
Heckin says “Eh, just play the game pasively until lvl 3, don't push your wave cuz he can all in you, so try to stay uner turret, but he is VERY easy to poke, don't let him E to you or else all your trades will go to a waste.”
Otp Fiora Sorry says “É skill match up mas é mais fácil pó jax te ganhar do que tu adivinhares quando ele vai parar o E e lhe dares stun por isso tenta jogar com a team e não deixar ele crescer em cima de ti”
Defensivity1 says “Outscales you hard but you can trade against him pre 6 by W-ing him when he counter-strikes then wait for the counter strike to run out and all in him if you have 4 ghouls/graves.”
Hyzerik says “Don't find in his bubble, either wait it out or run away. Once it is down its go time to do damage. You can waste your entire combo in his bubble and then you are useless so watch out.”
NoFriendsPlayLoL says “Extremely abusable in lane. Try to win early and deny him his item spikes. Try to stack passive and eat or stun him when he uses E to not lose trades due to being stunned. Rush bramble and steel plate boots.”
TioKirb says “Really easy matchup, if you can be faster than him, his E will be useless and you will be able to punish him hard for getting out of his tower. In late game, it becomes hard to kill him, but you can circumvent this by poking him with your E until you're comfortable with going all-in.”
LeSocair says “Very easy. Kegs are REALLY strong against Jax. He will be very reliant on his jungle to win against you.
Don't be too precocious with your W, he can activate his E whenever he wants, wait until he does, otherwise it's a big F up.
His W does crazy damage, take care.
After his 6 he will be pretty strong, avoid fighting him to death if you didn't poke him down before.”
sauronkaiser says “One of the biggest yorick counters.
pray for him to not get picked.
His E counters your autos, your Q and all your pets autos, he doesnt care about your wall thanks to his Q. My recomendation is to get garsp and q him all the time; when he wastes his E, raise ghouls and E him, and dont use wall until he wastes his jump. In late game you are fucked, anyway.”
FoxyGrill says “He is literaly better version of you, he is a lane bully but he outscales you as well, I recommend dodging the game or ask jungler for help.”
AmericanNut says “He can block your attacks, this will disable your ability to proc your passive, in the meantime, you can escape its stun range with Tongue Lash, then when his E is over, lick him up and down into fountain.”
Ramixx says “Rammus can beat jax pre6 but once jax gets his ultimate its mostly jax sided. If you managed to get some kills then its over for jax unless hes done the same. Make sure you play around his E early game or he can snowball. Cause jax can beat rammus early also if played correctly.”
bocchicken says “Poke with Q, save your E to escape, and your W to dodge his stun and you should be fine. Similar to fiora in that Jax wants to scale and sit in a sidelane. So play for objectives and teamfights.”
EU_Toxicity says “Start Q level 1 because his E will dodge your W. When trading, wait for him to use E and jump then pull him and walk back a little to dodge the stun, since he can't reactivate his E during your pull. Get ninja tabis into black cleaver and you should be stronger mid game. Keep in mind that he will outscale you if the game goes late enough.”
doorknobber69 says “Really annoying match up, you basically gotta bait out his E or if it gets bad just double w out. He wins extended trades and if he brings ignite this match up is really hard. ”
Lectiica says “Jax is a huge threat to you in the beginning stages, because of his ability to ignore auto attacks. Since our Trundle is built around healing through his auto attacks, the main focus to counter Jax is to avoid him when you're alone, and if you are 2v1ing him, to make sure you have other means of healing. Countering Jax relies heavily on Chomp, and the Heal summoner spell.”
lordoftheyuumitopmidadc says “even with a good knowing of this champ he is still a major threat because if you are hit from his stun he always wins the trade and his Q can let him jump onto you for combo's and you cant do much about it when fighting this match up you will need boots if you dont have boot you will mostly lose this match up unless they are very bad at jax”
iZeal says “Get the lane on your side just in front of your tower and you can start chunking Jax with Q and he won't be able to jump at you without risking towershots. Playing around his E is mandatory as it denies you bleedstacks from your auto attacks and your E is the only way to disengage from it while having a longer cooldown than Jax' counterstrike. Try to abuse your 175 auto attack range to force his Q, if needed use E for Q setup.
Blade of the Ruined King makes him squishy, but it's also impossible for you to escape from him since he can steal your movement speed.
DBlade, Ninja Tabis!, Phage”
bocchicken says “You bully him early. you can Q him mid jump to interrupt it, or look to W to him when he is charging his counter-strike to dodge the stun. he will shred you late game.”
DarkNavarre says “See Irelia and Gnar. He's a bit more potent that the two of them with the reliability of his stun, but the general method of handling him is the same. Don't try to win the lane. Instead, allow him to lose the lane.”
bocchicken says “if he jumps on you, you win the trade. Poke him out with Q, and use your E when his stun is about to go off to negate most of it's duration. he will destroy you early. Consider Thornmail/Frozen heart.”
Timesoul977 says “I usually win against Jax. Jaxes E gets countered by Pantheons E and the rest of Pantheons set. Pantheon Relies on Ability damage which is bad to Jax. he is a good ganker so be careful when hes jungler.”
hahadead7777 says “Jax is a common counter for AD champs. Your E will be essential for preventing his stun which is when he gets a lot of free dmg off”
UnMaskedDeity says “Jax is always a scary character to go against but you just need to remember your strengths and weaknesses. If you go in to fight him make sure you can either get the kill or have a guaranteed escape. Play smart.”
byThiagus says “Segunda pagina de runas fantasmal y espada de doran. Skil match. Si darius pega q en early gana sino se puede complicar. Extende la pelea siempre. Si el jax usa e q en vos podes usar tu e cuando se acaba su e y popeas fantasmal y lo matas. El jax te puede ganar early Si te dejas hacer trades cortos y no le pegas las q, este champ outscala a todo el juego NO LO FEDEES PORFAVOR QUE ES UNA MAQUINA ESTE PJ”
Stijnzxz says “Jax is fucking useless early game so take advantage of it :) but if u fuck up ur ruining the game.. be aware of hes cd and counterstrike cuz thats hes whole kit actually.”
TheSIanko says “It depends on how good is jax player. This matchup is really annoying for you, becouse he can dash to you easily and make a tons of damage.”
AWierdShoe says “You need to punish him super hard early on to keep him from scaling. Similarly to the Irelia match-up a key thing is to force trades before he’s fully stacked up his passive. Just drag the Q through him and start going at him, and the moment he presses E you want to stand inside him and taunt backwards so he doesn’t get the stun off on you. That way he gets 0 value out of his E and you can just keep trading. And without his E, Jax is basically useless early on which is why this is such a free match-up.
”
TrinityForceYasuo says “Let the wave push to you -> Freeze 2nd/3rd wave. Thin out the 2nd wave if possible. Look for poke Q's level 1 when he goes up for cs. You need to space PROPERLY so you will not get hit by his stun. Level 2 play it safe. Level 3 still play it safe. You can not be walking up at all that is why we need to get freezes most of the lane so we get the poke with Q's and small trades. Eventually he gets low enough and you can all-in him. If you are confident enough you can fight him in the waves so once he casts his Q on you, you immediately dash and wait out his E, kite and go to fight him. His R makes him VERY tanky so do not get fooled when he is low but you are low as well and you try to go for the kill.”
viktoreeu says “Ban the fucker
He is not hard to beat in the early game, but his counterstrike ability will negate your existence mid-late game.
You should win the early game AA+E early trades, your E is on a shorter cooldown than his E, you simply win early fights if you don't grief too hard.
Try to not let him get ahead by getting free kills. Run down his team with your lead
Unskilled champion. Wait what?
tempo ignite”
NickCola Tesla says “This matchup is more annoying than the actual difficulty, but it's still a skill matchup in your favor early.
Jax becomes a lategame monster when he purchases Blade of the Ruined King and other tank shredding items, but until then, you can give him a rough time in lane. Keep an eye on his passive stacks, as if it's up, he can take a very favorable trade without you being able to match his damage!
Keep in mind that if he hops on you, he essentially has to go all-in, as he has no real means of escape. This means that Plated Steelcaps and Bramble Vest are amazing purchases into him!
Be weary if the game goes on for an extended period of time. While you are still useful late game, you will be unable to match Jax's split push.”
StrikeX114 says “Jax's greatest threat to you is Counter-Strike (E), as it blocks both basic attacks and provides a stun. Heal just before he can stun you, and kite away from him if possible, as successful stuns almost guarantee gank setups.”
Saarlichenbog says “Jax almost always outscales you post level-6 no matter how the lane played out. His E allows him to stall out until this point and has a great in-built gap closer with his Q later into the game making it extremely hard to get him off you. This matchup is definitely a tightrope.”
Chessylex says “You can't duel him until Level 11 surprisingly. If you manage to somehow dodge his E and he wastes his Q engaging on you, you can turn it around as he has no mobility or CC. Just keep his cooldowns in mind and don't underestimate his Q range. ”
TheMightyNinja says “Do not trade from level 1 as will usually be your Q against his E ( wich denies auto attacks and stuns you after a short time ) and passive wich makes him attack faster over time.
Starting from level 2 take short trades, try to bully him when he gets close to farm. There are 2 ways to counter his E. You can stand very close to him when he casts his E and taunt away through him, this way he can't follow up with his Q and will miss his stun, you can also follow that play with q+empowered attack. The other way would be to stay near your blade and press your W just before he stuns you resulting in him getting no value out of his stun. Remember, always try to proc grasp on him and retreat, he wins long trades, specially after level 6.”
Klappy says “- Ganas a lvl 1 si gasta su E (Camina cerca de el luego de usar tu Q para baitear su E)
- Siempre guarda tu E para su E+Q combo
- Respeta su ulti, ya que lo transforma en un tanque
”
gamjatangisgood says “You can use a 60 BPM Metronome to help parry his counterstrike. You will feel like a monk as you perfectly time his short window of 1 - 1.25 seconds.”
open_48 says “
a good jax can dodge your Q with his Q, dodge your W with his E. Try to abuse him at the start where he's much weaker than you. rush ninja tabi”
llametekudasai says “no cambia la manera de jugar contra el, asegúrate de esquivar su e, con tu propia e, y deberías ganarle la linea fácilmente, en el caso que te mueras contra el lvl 1 puedes volver a intentarlo al lvl 6, no dan sus cds como para matarte en el 1vs 1, aunque esto es para ser mas seguros, puedes intentar matarlo antes si ves la oportunidad ”
aiSky says “His E counters Kled a lot, being hard to hit your W. Some times you can outplay him, but to get a lead its better to roam to other lanes with your ulti.”
Whackguy says “Winning against Jax ultimately comes down to mechanic confidence. Engage when Jax's E is on cooldown. It is perfectly ok to E away from his Q-E combo. ”
GLP1 says “Kled can be considered a counter for Jax to some extent but you have to keep in mind that when he overscalees you won't have any chance against him, try looking for guides on youtube how to beat Jax with Kled”
MrGasYourGirl says “Below Gold one of the easiest match ups. Anything higher and he diddles you hard and beats you down till you call him daddy via lamppost technique. But easy to beat by just throwing W while he spins- according to Ignite Garen toplane...
”
wolfclaw3812 says “Save your Q for when Jax activates E. Jax's E cooldown is much longer than your Q's, so you should always have it for when he jumps on you. AP. On-hit and tank will not save you. ”
Nicklstherealone says “His Shorttrades can low you to a critical level where you cant best him but once he used E you need to All-In you Burst him away although his Ult makes him tanky. And in Lategame dont 1v1 him he will Pop-Off with his Items (if he isnt totally behind). ”
pedrohnasc says “Don't get behind Jax in the early, he will spank you the entire game. I don't remember having any dificulties vs Jax. Be careful against his lvl 2. ”
White Cr0w says “Jax is strong early, mid and lategame. You can kill him on his jungle if you see him using his E to farm or to avoid damage.
Make sure he doesn't get kills early. Countergank him and push lanes a lot to get as much gold advantage as possible. ”
Pyroen says “Be quick to run away from his stun, as if you get caught it could likely end in your death, but you will soon out range him. He scales heavily into late game just like you, so late game will likely depend on teamwork as either of you could win the game for your respective teams.”
Randombeastmode says “Whoever pushes wins
Start Dblade.
Focus on spinning out of his counter strike and look for an all in.
If he jumps on you the jump distance is SET so you can spin through him and orb walk him to turret.
In this matchup look to build tank”
OffmetaPancake says “If you don't misplay into his counterstrike this matchup is easy. He naturally outscales you hard, but Rek'Sai can snowball to the point he never reaches late game.”
Gwoky says “Try to poke him out with E at level 1. He can't do much to you at this point. At level 2, give him space but continue to E minions. At level 6, you should counter him hard due to your ult dealing true damage and his ult only giving him armor and MR. Both Cho'gath and Jax have good scaling, so both Cho'gath and Jax should be able to do things in the later game. If Jax wins lane, he will be able to win, but if he loses lane, he will struggle to be a carry and you will stay a valuable tank. This is a minor match-up instead of an even match-up because you have a slight edge in side lanes and in laning phase even if Jax has a slight gold advantage over you.”
daito Okami says “ at lvl 1 be careful and check if he has started with q or e if with q just poke him down but don't go for basic aa because will lose the trade. When he uses q on you use your e and wait out his e to finish to go in your passive has a long use so u can always wait out his es to finish.”
Frostyfps says “He beats you level 1 unless you have minions set up for passive, but usually its better to start with e. Don’t be afraid to auto him because if he presses e then you can just simply stun him and run away. This will screw up the wave and it will push to you and you can keep going for sneaky autos because your auto range is a lot longer but if you just go for farm its also fine. You can use this to get level advantages which are pretty big early on. Try to keep your passive at 5 stacks and auto attacking him whenever he is in range, if he is close enough you go for an e and if you land your e don’t be afraid to q on him and auto. After lvl 6 It gets easier but it also gets very punishing if you make any mistakes after this point. At level 6 jax gets a lot of extra damage from his R passive every third auto and is really tanky with his ult. You have to start with a full passive in every fight and you also have to make sure that his passive is not stacked, if it is his full passive is stronger than yours. This is generally how the lane plays out until level 11. If you have not gotten ahead of him after lvl 11 do not try to 1v1 him unless you have help on the way. His ult passive does too much damage and his E cooldown will be very short but if you are ahead the same concept from above applies.”
Time1Save says “Poke, Poke, Poke, Poke, Poke. You win any trade as long as you block his W and E. After 6 try to survive his R and only then fight. But as long as you play with an advantage, you have to give your team an advantage as well .”
OmegaDelta000 says “His E is a problem, even if you have a lot of armor he can still shred you, so watch out for that. Try to end the game as soon as possible.”
Defensivity1 says “W him right after he used the counterstrike, if he already used his Q leap he is very squishy, if you have some ghouls you can kill him at this point, but be carefull as he does scale very well and outscales.”
Colbasz says “This matchup is relatively easy early, if you manage to not get stunned. Q him and then use your W if he uses counterstrike to get away. As the match goes on, this matchup will get harder, so try to poke him down after you get lvl 6 so he has to engage at a disadvantage. Play safe.”
NaCLBait says “Don't give him space to run you down. Try to q him before he can q and if you know he is going to all in wait for his e q before using abilities.”
Manzey says “Very easy to kite early in the game! Is strong on paper, not in-game! Really weak early game and in late game you've already won all the lanes for Jax to be useless.”
OmegaDelta000 says “Jax is just Jax really, do not fight him at all. If you want to fight him get as much armor and damage as possible, plus Grievous Wounds.”
Mordekaiserrrrrrr says “Jax is not too hard to fight early game, but if you let him scale he will get insanely strong. He depends on mana, so try to get him to waste abilities, even if you have to sacrifice a little hp, as long as he loses some too.”
Luceris says “Standard Grasp Runes + Bone Plating & Unflinching
Build: Have yet to find optimal build. I suggest getting Plated Steelcaps early on, maybe Bramble vest. This is a very hard lane if you are vs a competent Jax. His jump strike is 700 range, meaning he can jump on you while you cannot even auto him. Best thing you can do is use your W in response to his jump to root him. Even with this Jax can get a lot of damage off on you. He does not hard win these trades unless his counter strike is up, so you have about a 14 second time frame to get as many grasp procs off before he can hard engage on you again. I suggest letting him push the lane to you and play super passive and get wraiths when it is safe to.”
skunzila says “Bait his stun then use your w for movement speed and back, slow with q. After his jump and stun there is nothing he can do, just poke him with same combo 2-3 times then you can all in him with your R. Use your R when he tries to stun you, yes if you are full hp.”
clarenote says “A good jax player will try to cheese you early on with his Q to gain lane prio. But with sufficient counter will grant you lane dominance easily since illaoi has more wave clear ability. ”
Plasticpear says “Jax, too, leaps on to you and stuns you. On top of that, you won´t do demage to him while he is using his E (so don´t accidentally waste 4th shot on that). Overall try to avoid Jax.”
A2Tap says “This is an impossible matchup. Jax will be able to jump on you for free. He can jump on you and take short trades and walk out. Or he can all in and utilizing his E, stops your mobility as well as auto attack damage. Try to play safe until level 6.”
Rekanze1 says “His E "counter strike" can deny all your damage so try to surprise the Jax with an instant Q then your combo or fight when his e is down, other wise he wins every fight. ”
YoungTact says “Abuse Lane Harass Combo and avoid his melee Range E's. Take W 2nd and always W his Q. Long range Q's are easy to W short ranged ones are a bit harder. ”
qasddsa says “Max Q and whenever he jumps on you, Q immediately and W away to disengage. It will be very hard to miss Q if you just press on him as he jumps in a straight line at you. This is more of a skill matchup nowEarly on, the matchup is relatively easy as long as you don't get stunned by counterstrike. When he gets a few items, the matchup starts to get harder.”
PH45 says “Jax can beat you later on but early on just Q him away when he Q's on to you or tries to engage on you with his E. Tabis and Warden's mail helps in this matchup”
ERNESTSAURUS says “GRASP (SCALING) / SPELLBOOK SETUP - CLOTH ARMOR + 4 POTS =
Jax matchup is somewhat similar to the Irelia matchup. Jax used to struggle a lot because he lacked of sustain before BORK became a core item to his build since now he can get lifesteal early on because BORK has Lifesteal on it. Now the matchup becomes really hard since he can outsustain Nasus short trade potential. In laning phase he is sort of weak early on, he will beat you if you try to fight him, but if he decides to all in you in the middle of the wave with his E on cooldown (It's a 14 seconds cooldown lvl1), you can kill him but its sort of difficult since his E stuns for longer per attacks dodge so you'll have to use summoners and potions. Once he gets lvl 6, Jax looks to do short trades with Q + Autoattack + W to get her R passive AP damage off, so if he decides to do that whenever his E is down, you can look to do a short trade or if he is low, you can all in him. I recommend swapping Trinity Force to Iceborn Guantlet for extra Armor. Jax later on to the game can match you in the split push since he is the best scaling bruiser by far, so look to do teamfights where he will not be as usefull as you. Be careful, even when you are full build, he can still kill you 1v1 so look to do some short trades into an all in, and in case he commits with his ult just back off and use your W to disengage, after his R runned out look to splitpush since without his R, he loses a lot of resistances that will help him in the 1v1 against Nasus. I consider it as an Extreme matchup, since he has such a good scaling, he is really snowbally and his cooldowns are really low even without CDR.”
PH45 says “Save your E for disengage when he uses his E and Q. Poke with your Q and setup a gank for your jungler. You can actually bully him early with your poke and healing combined with Aftershock.”
aiker95 says “Average level of threat. Problema for us in his jump, camp and Ult. To avoid the camp with a jump, you can use our ult. Ultimate Jax for us is not a particular problem, but if not ibezhat mill, it is likely that 1 vs 1, you lose.”
Rank_1_Idiot says “Jax becomes a major issue at level 6 as your all-in does not do much to him, if he uses Counter-Strike & His ultimate to gain resistances, and he severely out-damages you with BOTRK and his Ultimate passive. Focus on CSing and hitting him with short bursts and as many boomerangs as possible.”
SubHuman Filth says “Jax can be hard.
Get electrocute. It goes thru his counterstrike. Get 3 points in q. When he jumps you just q him and run back. Poke him when he turns around, else just run.”
Grayified says “Grasp Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Dorans blade start. Jax is a matchup that you MUST get an advantage on early game if you want to have good impact on the splitpush. The reason we take grasp is to help us get an advantage early. Grasp does not scale into jax it is purely for early game power. The reason why grasp is so good into this matchup is that you can get VERY good short trades and have a huge amount of sustain. Its hard to take extended trades against Jax because of his counterstrike stopping the allin. But if you do want to set up an allin for a kill this is how you do it. Build up your grasp by attacking minions, attack jax with the grasp proc, he will counterstrike. Walk up into his body and spin away so that you deal the spin damage on the way out. Now you have some time for a really good trade on jax while he has no counterstrike. Tryndamere's spin is a 12 second cooldown, meanwhile jax's counterstrike cooldown is 14 seconds level 1. You want to get an early level 2 in this matchup so make sure that you force a small trade early to burn jax's counterstrike before he stacks up his attack speed on his passive and then shove for level 2. Usually the player who gets level 2 first in this matchup will win the early game. When diving jax, try to burn his counter strike cooldown by auto attacking him under turret until he uses it then spin out of turret range. Then look to reengage the dive while his counterstrike is on cooldown. In the mid-late game splitpush you win if you have a lead, but lose if you don't have a lead. If you are losing the splitpush, look to force jax to come to you in the sidelane and look to make a rotation towards your team.

Pyroen says “If he jumps on you, place your W at your feet and hope it gets him to back off, after he has used his jump>stun combo, he is pretty vulnerable and you can try to hit him with an E as he backs away. Avoid prolonged fights though because his passive makes him attack faster the longer the fight goes on.”
GodMulti says “As with most melee based champions jax is going to counter you pretty hard. I suggest banning him. If you end up in lane against him try to bait out his E (The helicopter Thing) and pull him in with your E [[Facebreaker]] as soon as he is going to stun you. Giving you the chance to reduce the time he is able to damage you for free. You can also try to pull him back in when he is going to jump. Making his escape ability nearly useless if done correctly. In team fights if you see him jumping on your Adc, Ult him away.”
I Am Goliath says “Pretty easy matchup in lane you can just kite him and he has no sustain so your poke is huge in this matchup, hit as many Q's and autos as you can on him, if he ever jumps on you simply jump away and keep kiting him. Late game might be rough if he splits because it's hard to answer a jax splitpush with a ton of items but if you zoned and pressured him enough in lane you should be ok.”
Reason97 says “This come's down to who know's the matchup better and who's farther ahead. At first he can seem oppressive with his leap and stun, but honestly they arent all that bad. Let him leap to you, then drop a stun right in his face to punish him for it. While a fed jax can leap in and kill you quick, you can turn the fight around on him if he isn't too far ahead. ”
Nabura says “My personal perma ban for if I play Kayle top. His E dodges all your damage and they will usually all-in you as you try to crash big waves into his tower. Bork makes him very sticky too. Your only chances are after if you manage to bait his E out. Poke him down with Q too. Mid game you probably won't be able to 1v1 him so try for team fights or sit under tower in side lanes and pick up farm.”
STIERNACKENTYP says “Jax counters you hard. Pre 6 u are stronger and can harass him since he doesnt have heals or anything. After 6 ur life is over since he can always all in and fck u. The problem is, it will be like this the whole game since he is stronger in splitpushing and can always dive u. Get Conditioning in runes, the extra armor/mr will help alot vs his hybrid damage.”
I Am Goliath says “This is the hardest matchup for Yorick in my opinion because his counterstrike blocks your Q and your ghouls attacks, the biggest problem of all is that he can actually match your splitpush late game as well. It is possible to win lane against him and win up until he buys spear of shojin but it's very hard, the biggest tips I can give vs jax are to try to bait out his counterstrike you can do this by walking up to him sometimes and he will use it early thinking you're going for a trade, sometimes you'll have to auto them once and then walk away.
My other tip for going against Jax is to never really engage on him unless you're way ahead, but you never want a fight where he is winning it and still has his jump up to gapclose you so just be very careful about the battles you pick and play around his E and Q.
Also once he buys spear of shojin you're just screwed in terms of dueling him.”
MrMad2000 says “Don't pick Quinn into Jax, please... You can bully an autofilled Jax and win the lane but any competent Jax player will absolutely demolish you.”

CensoredMercy says “The lower elo you are the worse this match up is, and the more you should avoid playing it. The Short version is that Irelia or Jax can win early, with it being Jax usually it low elo, and Irelia more often in higher elo, though this matchup puts Irelia on a timer before Jax repeat dives her.”
Darrkescru says “Runas : Grasp, Aery
Não atacar durante o E dele usar seu Q quando ele for dar o 3° hit da passiva da ult ou usar o W
Rushar : Liandry”
Adolfie says “Dont even try to fight him when he has his E ready at the early levels, since his E blocks your Q, you cant do a shit to him. So similiar to camille, just stay back and stack freely, if you get your sheen + some cdr, you can probably fight him.”
ZergDood says “If he's the jungler, he'l rarely pull off a succesful gank against you. If he's top however, your main goal in the match is to stop him from scaling. This master duelist needs to be shutdown, and you have the kit, but maybe not the cooldowns. Take W first and prioritize it over your E. Never take extended trades unless he's being dumb. Get out of his counter with an E to a minion or walking out with W. If he gets problematic in a teamfight or while you duel him, R him away. He scales and hits hard, he snowballs everytime, but you can build tabis before he gets trinity and bully him. Respect his 1v1 potential, your W can stop his dash.”
qazx1427 says “I don't think I have to explain this one, but I will anyway. He outduels you, his E blocks and kills your ghouls, he can Q out of your W, and he outscales everyone on your team. Not fun.”
HIGH TEST TOP88 says “W lvl 1 and boneplating is really important, if you fall behind it becomes very hard, save your E for W in an allin.
Take bone plating.
Take armor.”
Twist21 says “Skill matchup , I would go Grasp since you only want to take short trades in lane vs him.This matchup is all about timing when he uses E so you will have to practice it a bit.You can also go LT with Resolve second if you think you can win 2v2 with your jg.”
Pikkachu Loiro says “The one who loses the first fight loses the lane heavily, he can destroy you easily under tower if needed. Be safe, but get prepared to all in him!”
Mrobby says “Jax isn't really a great jungler, but he can get ahead and carry nonetheless, he is jokingly easy to deal with if the player is bad, but he is kind of a difficult match up if the player is good and knows what to do. this is a major threat if in the top lane but even in jungle”
Wizbe says “Laning phase isn't THAT bad anymore with the grasp rune page however he outscales you hard and Camille's strong point is split pushing. I'd recommend banning this champion”
Dreadscythe95 says “There is no time in the game that Jax is behind you except from lvl 16+ but by then he can get ahead far more easily. His scallling is massive and he is far stronger mid game which can allow him to create leads. His ability to jump on you all the time and also avoid aauto-attacks is very strong against Kayle.”
make alistar great again says “Don't mess up early and you will have a very easy lane.
Tip: Let him go in with his E, cast E before he stuns you, then after his stun fades you can stun him and then knock him under your turret.”
Shumair says “This is another matchup that used to be winnable but due to BORK and recent buffs to Jax, it's just not winnable after a certain point. If he gets first blood, you're out of the game but if you get first blood he can still maul you. Despite his early game being buffed, I suggest you try to find an advantage early if you want to win. You can backwards E his E but be wary that his has a lower CD. Jax outscales hard and roams better as well as having better team fighting. Just keep your head up and look for opportunities if he wastes abilities like Q or E.”
wallobear53 says “Jax will try to scale into late game and split push for most of the mid game. Try to pick up fights with his team during that time in order to get an advantage over him and win the game easily.
If you see Jax charging up his E, back off and wait for it to run out. It is his most powerful basic spell and he can use that in combination with his Q to CC you and then kill you easily due to how his Passive works.
Jax is vulnerable to CC and can be killed easily if you manage to chain CC on him. His Auto-Attacks are his main power and CC counters that. Killing him while he is split pushing will allow you to have a number advantage on his team and you will also be able to secure Objectives quite easily.
”
laoshin3v3 says “Litterly almost unwinnable matchup for kayle. Just try to farm up and don't fight him. If Jax is smart he will max Q and jump on you all the time. ”
Appl313245 says “His entire kit counters you. There is simply nothing you can do unless the jax is bad. If in this match up try to play far from walls and if he starts to e you want to e out. If you manage to dodge his e and he used jump and is in range of your e2 you can re engage.”
ClanBlade says “Just annoying as he is pretty mobile and able to jump onto you so it hard to land you Q knockup and his counters your passive. Just don't auto him if he E's you to save your passive and rush Tabi's for his W.”
s3L_ says “incase ur playing lane wrong (to win), let him push lvl 1/2, freeze level 3/4, and look to slow push lvl 5 and see if you can force an all in where you hit lvl 6 first. this is your window to kill him. be careful of jax passive, it is stronger than yours. dont fight him if he has passive stacked. also look to waste the time his E is up by kiting to minions and hitting your E on him. also pre-6 you can look to harass a little by abusing your auto attack range. once he gets items you just lose xdxxdxdxdxdxdxdxd”
M.P.C says “Once you've played as or against a Jax before he is very easy to deal with, when he's planning to stun you back away and wait for it to time out and harass him with your Q + E.”
Fiora Pogjet says “The lane is hard. He will go for q w trades and then just press e to not get damage from you. It is also hard to prarry his e but thatsthe way you will win those fights.”
NullPC says “his counter strike blocks your autos and can stun you after you E to stop your burst, you can cuck him hard late with your ulti as he tries to 1v9 at low health just to be executed by 25% true damage.”
XxDoctorDonnaxX says “Same as Teemo, but he's pretty weak early and his E has a reasonable cooldown as well as a lot more counterplay.Ban him if someone else banned/hovered Teemo.”
Teemain says “Jax is a pain in the a**. This lil' beach will make your life hell once he hits lvl 6. Do NOT overestimate your R damage when you're fighting him under tower(dive)!!! His ultimate will COMPLETELY negate an insta-kill chance, so make SURE you can jebait out his E AND his R before going in. PLEASE...”

CptTeemoOnDuty says “Later on he will win against you, as jax hyperscales in late. Early on you have a fighting chance, use your W to avoid his empowered strike and if unsure just make small trades until he is out of the lane, utilizing your shield advantage. ”
ModxLoL says “You have to do short trades with Jax and get him lower first. If you manage your cooldowns correctly, he can't outplay you. The best and safest way to trade vs. Jax is to stagger your Q, knock him up with 3rd Q as he walks up to a minion, Auto, then W. If he tries to jump on you after, you can just E Q away from him. Rinse and repeat.”
Stiwy says “Strong, ninja tabis early are mandatory here.
He can dodge your W shots by using his E.
He has better splitpushing and overall is a bigger late game threat than you.
Try to stay with the team and as long as you have some CC you should be able to take him down.
”
CptTeemoOnDuty says “This matchup can be either super easy or really difficult, early on you beat him of course but if he knows when he can all in you then you might have a bad time. try and avoid letting him jump you with his e but at the same time don't let him take control over the lane. Check more info below. ”
Doktora says “Jax have a very stong combo but have big weak when he use combo on you and try to go back you go for dmg and you are strong at level 1 and 2 use that to make more dmg on him then he will not try to attack when is low hp. :) ”
gsaeyx says “What build you go doesn't matter you lose anyways. Disgusting braindead champ, when he tries to e, charge your q, and make sure you're out of his e range. If he tries to q to you, release last second. If he doesn't, he wastes e and you can trade with him. ”
Hypnosa says “Try poking him and never forget every jax player immediatly activate counterstrike and play face after you hit him several times. Be smart save your W and E to the right moment.”

Gnarcisist says “You win early but he will beat you in the mid to late game with his high damage output and E. Look to gain a lead early to power you through the laning phase”
Space69420 says “Should be able to deal with most Jax players but you should be aware that you only win the first 10-15 minutes of lane after you lose to him. This should be enough time to develop a lead”
BloodyDream81 says “Le match up Jax/Darius, est un match up normalement à l'avantage de Darius mais pour cela il te faut connaître à la fois Darius et Jax par coeur, dans ton cas je le placerais plutôt à un niveau 4 de menace, et je vais te donner les outils pour mieux t'en sortir !
Plusieurs choses à savoir, Jax peut éviter la partie de ton A qui soigne, en utilisant son propre A pour te sauter dessus, attend donc qu'il utilise se sort avant de faire ton A. SI jax utilise son E, qui lui permet d'éviter toutes les auto attacks, ne cherche pas a le frapper, utilise ton Grab pour le ralentir et en reculant fais ton A pour être sur de le toucher, si il continue de te suivre tu peux te retourner une fois son E terminer tu seras sur de gagner.
Ensuite le passif de jax, à chaque fois qu'il tape une unité, il gagne de l'atk speed cumulable 6 fois, et les stacks partent au bout d'un moment si il est hors combat, affronte le toujours à 0 stack, la différence est énorme ! Enfin, une fois niveau 6, fais un all in, si , et seulement si il n'as plus son E de disponible, sinon tu es sur de mourir, si il ne l'a pas tu es sur de gagner du moment que tu touche ton A !
Astuce : Prendre conquérant est obligatoire, tabi ninja également, et savoir freeze une lane est très recommandé, car jax est très mauvais face aux freeze qui ne lui permette pas de stacker son passif avant de te trade. ”
rawDrigo says “Also 50/50, but he scales better into late game. When you engage, make sure he doesn't have any stacks or you lose. You probably want to engage with autos and stack. Most Jax's will use their hop to get in on you with their stun. Wait out his spin for .5s then E-Q-Ghost. This should confirm either a kill or atleast their flash.”
Dantheman81 says “Jax can block your Q and ghoul damage with his E, and kill them as well if they're close enough to him. If you see Jax use his counter, that's when you want to E him as soon as you can. He can also jump out of your trap, so this may turn into a passive lane. Do not try to 1v1 him after level 11 when he gets a second point into his ult. Take thornmail in this matchup.”
Xplor says “Oh, dear Jax.
I am writing you this letter to apologize for the fact that I may beat you so hard on the lane.
Kind regards,
Yorick.
Now for real. He can stun you, he can block your attacks if you go all-in, but he cannot win the fight late game. At least not if you know what you are doing and how to play against him.
The idea I put here Jax with even threat when on other guides and on very high ELO Jax can be a threat is that if you are PLAYING DEFENSIVE until level 6 and POKE as much as you can with your ghouls, Jax represent nearly no threat to you. Not unless you are playing a GrandMaster Jax”
Hunter Frenzy says “1v1: E & Res |
vs Burst JG: E & Res |

Darrkescru says “Jax as vezes e um problema pois assim como você ele countera auto atack, Sempre tente usar sua cegueira abtes de ele te stunar e nunca bate nele quando seu E estiver ativo pois quanto mais tapa você der mais dano ele vai dar na hora do Stun, A estrategia e fazer ele pular em você pisar em um cogumelo e assim facilmente caitar ele ate a morte (Se quiser pode maximar o Q nesta lane mas prefiro o E)”
Lintaar says “Jax is a problem. If he lands a stun on you it will be very difficult for you to escape. CC destroys your ability to kite champs like Jax. If he has his ult, always flash away AFTER he stuns you”
SpedIsOn says “Buffer his e stun with ur e. Do not auto him when he e's and run away so he cannot auto. That way his e does no damage and he cannot damage you. If he Q you, you can fight him. If you can run away when he e, do that rather than wasting your e. If he e, q, aa, w you, fight him when you can stun him with your e. Aa aa e aa aa q aa aa, W. W whenever you are around 20%. ”
Omega Zero says “Jax is that one guy with the one ability you MUST avoid, and it's his Counter Strike. If you are somehow skilled/lucky enough to time your Alpha to dodge his Stun, you're in the clear (not guaranteed win but way better chances). On the other hand if you don't then you're FOCKED, you're better off avoiding a fight with Jax. You're a master, and he's a Grandmaster.
”
bakk0n says “Another counter. Jax's mobility and high damage in the early game makes him a hellish laner. Avoid getting caught in his stun and avoid trying to poke him when he has it active. Try to land your Qs and don't pull him all that much.”
Saturnyourube says “dont fight him level 1.
start fighting lvl 3
poke him enough to make him use his E. dodge it with your shield.
you will most likely win early game
But always get destroyed in late.”
Angela du Seithr says “Jax est fort mais pas assez pour riposter contre vos harcèlements de sorts en début de partie, mais au fil du temps il vous dominera petit à petit et vous n'aurez pas vraiment votre mot à dire.”
iTzToniOP says “Since the W now works as an autoattack, this matchup has became stupidly hard. Anyway, you have many tools to disengage if he tries to go in so hold your lane and try to be more useful later.”
Nyx Adachi says “LVL 6 NO FREE KILL, saca la mayor ventaja antes de lvl 6, rushea tabis, vigila su e y ten en cuenta de que los basicos que tires durante su (potenciados por tu q) no se gastan además que bloqueas los de el con tu w”
darksage1234 says “His counter strike is way too good. He also has empower which makes his AA so good. Most likely than not he will proc his Conqueror first in trades and will easily kill you. Play defensively and ask for a gank.”
ForOrion says “Even though Jax is a AA king, his early game is so weak that you can steamroll him out of commission. A level 1 all in is usually a bad idea, so waiting till 2 to pull a Q, AA, E, AA, Ignite usually gets a first blood. He is predictable and baitable, so wait for his jump to E away and setup a successful hook.”
JuarezLOL says “do not trade with jax without W just save your W for his E to dodge it
and you are extremely strong at lvl 6 compare to jax lvl 6 force a fight with him”
Walnut25 says “He is probably Irelia's biggest nightmare. You can't 1v1 him at any point in the game. When playing against him, try and dodge his stun and abuse it when on cooldown. The only upside to this matchup is that you have a far better teamfight.
”
JuarezLOL says “same thing over and over again do not let jax to Q you on full health just put barrel down and try to blow your barrel when he is using E after that use W and continue trading if you have barrels up”
ACE4291 says “You beat him early but thats it really.... this champ is broken. he can stun you with his E so try to dodge it. you can cancel his speed increase with a Swallow but Late game 1v1 he can wipe the floor with you... unless you shut him down early. ”
Rodo Jan says “You can beat him but it's hard match up u need to wait him use Q then you use W and full combo him if you bully him early u can win but he outscales you like most botrk champions.”
DirtyDishSoap says “Another really bad matchup, buuuut not as unwinnable as Fiora. If he's constantly jumping on you to trade, use that oppurtunity to wall him and have your minions start smacking him.
The big problem with him, however, is that his counterattack, coupled with his stacking attack speed, makes it really hard for any trading to happen, effectively making you pretty useless.
Again though, it's not unwinnable, but it's stupidly hard to do anything.”
CourtesyD0Prata says “Just don't take his E and everything is Fine. You won't be able to trade against a good Jax with Randuin's / Só não tome o seu E e você estará bem. Você não será capaz de trocar contra um bom Jax de Randuin's.”
report singed ty says “Don't run from his stun in a fight since he can proc it anyways once he jumps to you. Instead, run up ahead of him to eat the stun and still stick onto him closing off his escape route. ”
WatchersGrim says “Jax Will always be a trouble for Tryndamere. The best thing to do is just stay away from him and focus down the rest of the squishies so your team can collapse on jax.”
Beatport Expo says “Punish him when he uses his Q to leap at you and STOP attacking for a moment when he actives his E and then throw your Q once he finish his E”
Kingarthur720 says “his E denies all of your major damage, he will just leap to you if you dash away and his damage output is much greater than graves at most stages of the game. Same thing with sett. Play safe farm, poke and wait for a gank, never go for all ins unless you can guarantee it”
TentiTiger11 says “He is great for 1v1, especially late game. He can block your Q so try to engage with your E early on. He is a scaling beast with life steal. Try to end as quickly as possible. Get a mortal reminder if he build a hella lot of life steal.”
longcus says “Really depend on Jax's skill. He can wreck you hard in early mid game but there're still ways for you to out sustain him but if he uses all his abilities to punish you then all in”
VIP Titan says “Harass Harass Harass. Get your Q in early. Baits his E out and please remember! Do not aa him when he got his E because he gets more damage of you later. Try to baits his E also when there's no minion. So that his E damages will be much lower than you expected!
Remember we are MAXING E so no melee is a problem in general! ”
gabriel5ben9 says “He will probably outdamage you. Don't autoattack or use your Q if he uses E, an when he does, use your W to tank and deal damage. Remember, if your W deals damage to a champion, the bonus resistances go from 3s to 6s.”
ShaharKarisi says “Try to bait his Q + E combo and then use your W's movement speed to run away from the stun. When he has this combo down, punish him hard.”
SirDrPotato says “His stun is very hard to riposte. He has the upper hand, he is the one who decides when he wants to stun and his stun when activated doesn't give you the chance to react. This makes riposting it a matter of luck. However, short trading and going for vitals and back off should be fairly easy. Also, your riposte reduces his attack speed and that's insane against jax.”
Subject3 says “jax is one of my most hated champs, along with tryndamere.
it doesnt matter if you killed him a lot early game somehow he will find himself still useful during mid to late game, split pushing and even team fights.
but early game you can still win against him hard prior to lvl 6. so punish him a lot before mid to late game.”
LloydOrchid says “This lamp post can mow you down. Poke him with Q and don't let his stun hit you. When he's gonna jump at you, E away and Q him so he can't catch up to you.”
KayleMachine says “Jax sounds like a good counter at first, but in reality he does not have the damage to burst you through your entire healthbar. He has a strong lvl 1 and lvl 2, but you are able to kite out his E by slowing him and speeding yourself up.
You outscale him extremly hard and the key to winning this lane is basically just do not die early on.
If he uses his Q to commit on you your pta+attackspeed boots will make you win every all in.”
Vodka4Gaben says “Really easy to beat, after his Counter Strike (E) you will just be able to insta kill him, he will probably use R to get the extra armor to help him but it will be no match for the power of your tentacles.”
Destroya777 says “His W can block your auto-attack making it more difficult to proc brittle. But a well timed W can prevent his E from stunning you. Your auto-attack brittle proc can cancel his jump mid air.”
Discord Rengar Mains says “Snowball lane which is rigged in his favor to a degree, he can easily screw over your attempts to engage him at level one because of E and his early is stronger than it used to be. That's not to say it can't be dealt with; if you manage to snowball he will do jackshit for at least 20 minutes.
The key to beating Jax is playing around his E and baiting his aggression. To do this, what you want to do is jump NEAR him when you have 3 to 4 stacks (like, say, a minion) to spook him into using E, fleeing so he Qs you, then Ebola him if you can get outside his range quickly enough or just using W + Emp W to get away from the burst, which will leave him a sitting duck for at least 8 seconds. Don't try to jump directly to him when his E is up unless you have 3-4 stacks since a decent Jax will inmediately use it, block it, and then stun you and AA you for a bit, leaving you half dead. The problem with Jax is that he can play it very safe if he wants to and as soon as he gets his core items he will beat the absolute crap out of you for the entire game, since you are AA oriented and he is one of the best duelists in the game against that kind of champions. So in other words, the moment you fall behind you are screwed. Respect his gank setup potential and don't overchase, it will just get you killed. If you get a good enough lead just push to his tower hard and roam to win early.
Ignite is great since it will give you kill pressure on him from very early on. As for runes, either conqueror or fleet work (the second one allows you to kite away from his E much faster) but do note there will be a point in the game where you just can't duel him anymore.”
CounterBlad3 says “His counterstrike is hard to play around, but with practice your hook can allow you to perfectly escape the stun. His auto attacks do large amounts of damage so you need to rush ninja tabi ”
Itreallyhim says “Skill matchup but i would Dodge.
Jax is really strong if he gets ahead, he doesnt care much if you pull him in, After 6 he will annihilate you, Hes much more mobile and has high scalings.
I would dodge but if you take on the challenge, do short E, Q Auto trades.”
Circas says “I perma ban Jax personally.
His scaling and kit is a direct counter to you because of Counter Strike (E). It just cancels all of your damage since a ton of Irelia's damage is loaded into her auto attacks.
If you for whatever reason decide to not ban him as an Irelia main well just think of this lane as a ticking time bomb. Once you get a lead you need to keep it because you can never give him a foot hold to come back into the game because he will obliterate you later. If you are even in items he wins just buy existing because he does not have skill shots.
Just ban him please. I beg of you. This champ is broken and has barely changed since season 1 when I started playing.
I hate Jax. fk u jax.”
Rivenetto says “Jax is another easy early game matchup. Bait his E and all in him. He outscales you at level 11 so make sure hes behind if u want to win the game.”
classicnoob says “E counters your Q this matchup is fairly Easy Play passive early. Get 6 start doing trades and start fighting him cuz he doesnt have high execution damage.”
googlemops says “early levels are where you need to be most agressive as TK. Jax is able to shut down that agression with his E, wait for it to be on cd before you take a fight”
Asoreth says “Jax is similar to Tryndamere, but he can be even easier to play against. Just do your standard short trades, If he stands too close to you with his E up, remember to press W before he strikes you with it, so he can't deal any damage while you are stunned.”
Anyerlaw says “Jax és un campeón al que te va a costar parkearle la e ya que él decide si hacer la e de duración más larga o más corta. Así que prioriza pokearle con tú pasiva y echarte para atrás. En el caso de que se lanze con su e y q tírale la w y si lo estuneas intentalo matar.”
SuperPopo7 says “fight early around his e, make sure not to save your W too much and don't use it too much. This match up is almost a mind game with your W and his E”
ShinyEmo says “Most people see Jax as a huge threat to Master Yi because of his E. But actually he is not. If he uses his E, then just press W for 1-1,5 seconds and press Q. You will dodge his E than you can burst him unless he is fed. ”
Loki029 says “There are good Jax and there are normal Jax. Unluckily a Jax cannot perform bad if he reaches Late Game, it´s like Master Yi, when this 2 hit the Late Game Full Fullbuild Timer, then it is Kind of over,just never loose him out of Sight and always. ALWAYS ping where he is and what he is doing. ”
AkenoSenpai says “This match up is always been a pretty hard one for Irelia, even the non reworked one. Its not unwinnable, but surely jax has an adventage here. Early on he is fairly beatable as long as ur able to bait out his E and all in him after. In order to bait it out just keep hitting him with ur AA whenever he is going for a lasthit, your range is longer then his so he will have to Q on you in order to get in range, if he does so use E to stun him. If he hasnt casted his E yet you can Q him into Auto. At that Point Jax is propably running up to you with his E up, if so try to either jump away to a minion which is out of range of his E (one that can give you a reset to re-engage) or just charge ur W to block damage. Even if you beat jax early he outscales you later on so keep that in mind.”
Bourbon says “The good news is you can farm agaist this guy when you are under tower. But dont try to fight him 1v1 after lvl 6 and dont trade with his E up.”
Jays_v says “Its đepen how you play the champion, if you use your E before his E, GG NEXT. But if you can timing his E, everythings will be really easy. Take Grasp and Ignite”
miniRAGE says “Jax is more of a pest than a threat since his E will stun you at the end of it. However, if you manage to get his stun out before using your abilities, you'll be fine fighting a Jax.”
Average Ahri says “He simply can't beat you. You can block his jump. You can slow him while he channels his dodge. You are too tanky for him to kill but he will eventually out scale you so be careful.”
TrollingSmurfGr says “Despite the dodge of his E, he's not particularly threatening. Watch out for him holding onto his third autoattack (post level 6), as he can do significant burst to outtrade you with careful management of his abilities. The main reason he's so easy is because he only has one gap closer and no movement speed. Flaying the jump will keep him off you, though he may still be able to land the stun. If he does prematurely E as he leaps, use your Q instead for the same reasons as the Fiora matchup, the stun will NOT interrupt your Q animation, so you'll minimise his advantage. From there you can hit him back before flaying him away for distance, and kite to outtrade. When his Q is on cooldown, he is extremely vulnerable to poke and bullying. You'll be more worried about pushing too far and getting ganked, so don't let your guard down.”
Thr3shPrinc3 says “This is a hard lane to play in, but once you get used to flaying Jax out of his Q you should win this lane everytime. Jax only has one gap closer and being able to flay him out of it means you can just kite him while auto attacking him. If you think you are about to get stunned by Jax then quickly cast your Q. His stun won't cancel out your startup animation and you will be able to mitigate the amount of damage he does to you while you are stunned. Jax remains a threat though and late game you are probably not going to be able to fight him anymore so just stick to your team in late game.”
ForgottenProject says “Remember only C H A D S like Hashinshin (Super Top) play Jax, so be careful ;)
Don’t try to Q poke him at Level 1, he will have E and win every 1v1
After Level 2, you can start to Q pooke Jax, and if he fights you, you can parry his E
Always Parry at the end of Counterstrike
Even if he stuns early, you will still have Parry to stun an AA after counterstrike
If you Parry before his E ends, you get mega fucked
”
Blakespeare says “Jax much like shen has auto blocking with e making your w engage useless. He also like teemo has gap closing ability which makes disengaging as your fat self very hard. To deal with this match up you want to auto poke pre 2 and when his q is on cool down engaging when they blow his e. level 6 opens opportunities for a complete all in once he procs last part of e. DORAN BLADE”
Gunford says “A good Jax can stomp you hard if you dont pay attention. Never ever trade with him when he has stacks. He will jump on you with his Q and Ult Passive for short trades. You can dash away his E but the short trades does enough dmg that you will lose this trade.”
Speez says “VERY VERY SKILL DEPENDENT MATCH UP, if he gets ahead its game over for you, but if you get ahead its light work, be careful with every trade you take and also w off his stun if possible”
superacewolf says “Try to freeze the wave on your side. Don't walk up or he will jump on you. Try to only stack safely. Keep healthy or you will get dove by enemy jungler. Grasp may be good against him since early game you don't want long trades. W max is pretty good against him as well.”
SirVermillion says “Skilled based matchup. You win some, you lose some. Try to minimize your laning mistakes and watch your placement. His stuns are annoying and if he gets ahead he usually stays ahead. ”
Pedrokis says “Só bate bastante nele. / Se ele pular com o E, tenta sair dele com o seu dash e inicia uma troca boa, tu vai stackar Conqueror rápido e ele não vai ter pulo pra escapar do seu W, te garantindo alguns Qs. / Você pega 2 kills nele e sua lane ta praticamente ganha, só toma cuidado com o JG inimigo.”
Trash Collector says “Jax has high trading power and E is a AOE cc which can block auto attacks and reflect the damage back and with his R his damage increase and he became harder to kill”
enderare says “his counterstrike counters you but just save ur e for when he leaps, early he doesnt have enough damage to just waste his counterstrike on the stun. ”
Trial_By_Barrel says “A very easy match up overall since you can orange from his stun and you can poke him out of lane with Sheen. On top of that it's easy to land barrels on him and he can't dive you for kills unless you run out of mana.”
The Lost Drawing says “En fase de lienas 1 vs 1 es un 50-50 de quien ganara.
Le cancelas su iniciacion y le puedes meter daño con tu 'Q' de gratis.
Si tira su 'R' retirate pero cuidado la tiene aprox. cada minuto, si tienes ventaja le ganas aunque tenga su 'R' ya que pegas por vida maxima, siempre cuando hagan su 1 vs 1 PvP PEGATE a la PARED sera mas facil meterle la 'E'”
Joaking says “Skilled matchup.
Use your EW when he uses his Q.
You can poke him with your Q and bait his E+Q. If he does it, go back with your EW + your remaining Qs.
Avoid fighting him when he has passive stacked or his 3rd attack.”
Pickle Pick says “He can be a pain to deal with if he is fed, so play safe. If his counterstrike is down you can go in on him and win the trade. Watch out for his counterstrike when you're trying to auto him after Wing.”
Daedralus says “This guy can wreck you up if you time anything bad. Your Q and Ult are useless while he has his E up, and will hurt you very bad if either are blocked as you lose a half of your come-back healing kit. Overall, the problem with this guy really comes down to his E. If you manage to go around it, you win. If you don't, he will laugh and spam his mastery 7 on your corpse. When he uses his E, use yours. Try to dodge his stun too of course, but at least you won't take that much damage in the time period, and will stun him back when you are out to easily heal the damage back. ”
TheBiskoppen says “Like Fiora a good Jax will hold his counterstrike for your w, so bait it out, remember he has long CD on q early and you have 2 dashes.”
Split King says “You should not start with q like usual. He will just dodge it and return all the damage to your face. Start e instead so that when he tries to stun you, you simply dash away.”
Split King says “He can dodge auto attacks, you can blind auto attacks. Pretty even, he is, however, a lot more tanky, but he is also melee. Never go near him if your blind is on cooldown, and do not push the lane too far.”
Valorkyrie Quinn says “Some may say Jax is an easy matchup when you can abuse your range advantage, but in fact it all depends on player skills.
A clever Jax seizes opportunities to all-in you all the time. He knows that your E cooldown is longer than his Q. You may stop his first jump, but you are unable to stop the second. And then he beats you to death, especially when he already has Trinity Force with the CDR.
I usually bring Phase Rush to run away from him quickly when he looks for all-ins.
Tip: In the early game, avoid trading with him when your E is on cooldown. He has crazy late game potential, so deny his CS as much as possible.
”
BeautifulWinter says “Standard Prior to 6 passive. Post 6 agro when ult is up.
When He uses his E just shoot your E on him. When he is using it during your ult W the spirit not him as the Tentacles will not slam.”
Devcon says “Jax will absolutely stomp you in an early all-in, so focus on stacking grasp and winning trades. Dash out of his stun and you shouldn't have any issues.”
feederfromelohell says “Can't kill you if you dont fight 1v1 and easy to gank. His relatively good late game doesn't matter in team fights if you cc him.”
IvaoManeirao says “Counters you really hard and since you're pretty big he can kill you easily. The most you can do is play safe by poking and abusing your range.”
Big Belly Bop says “He can all in you any part of the game and be able to get away with it since his Q is on such a low CD and his E blocks autos. You will need to be careful when going up to CS and poking him, if he jumps on you will lose 1/4 - 1/2 of your HP. E away and W him if he jumps on you. Coordinate ganks and lose CS rather than walking up to lose 1/2 your HP. EXP is valuable! MY PERMABAN. Flash + TP, Doran's Shield + 1 HP, Survivability rune page.”
ExfIamed says “This could go either way, as long as you're E'ing him while hes getting ready to stun you you're good but if you're able to W the stun and Q him in time before he jumps away then you win cause that Jax sucks, otherwise you lose every single trade and need to wait and buy some items, or just wait and slowly poke him down. He runs out of mana eventually and has terrible regen.”
KitsyMamori says “If you are able of dodging his Q and you aren't doing all too bad in the game, you should be able to burst him down. Otherwise avoid 1 on 1 fights with him!”
Gamerlaci3 says “If he has his E or R you can't go all in, because helicopter will make you miss at least half of your AAs.
If you can fall back until he pops his E, you will win the 1v1 trade.”
ElementalZyrus says “When I first faced Jax and Quinn, I thought I'd get cleaned, but she actually does quite well against him. You can E away from his Counter Strike and get a lot of damage off, though if he does get the stun, you are in for a bit of trouble”
Verdehile says “Skilled match up. You need to win early in this one because going even wont cut it. Its not too hard to chunk him down. A good jax uses his e only to walk up to you rather than q's you with e. Play around his e with your ign. Late game even with him getting 2 kills and 5 deaths can cause you trouble. ”
9690 says “Jax has a lot of trouble against Mordekaiser. He can't block any of our damage and we steal his ult stats in our ult. We out trade him at all points except level 1 with counterstrike. Don't overcommit level 1 and this lane is a breeze.”
Loevely says “You beat this guy at almost all points of lane phase. He will outscale eventually, but you can bully him really hard in lane. Grasp/Fleet/HoB are all solid into Jax. Only thing to watch out for is his E which has a 16 second CD lv 1. ”
ENX Kai says “disgusting champion. Hybrid damage. very tanky and still can deal crazy damage mid-late game. Very mobile, can kill you when you don't pay attention. His counter strike is a nightmare for every Darius player. I usually ban him. Get bramble early.”
numpadddd says “Annying stun, but if he does so, instaly E so you will be able do deal damage even dough youre CCd. Watch out for his ult, rest is pretty simple”
Katlotus says “hard to match against top, but not impossible. HE WILL ENGAGE YOU, dont get in his e range and jump away as soon as he jumps on you, play around him and use your wave”
LuxIsMyCrush says “I recommand same strategy as with Darius. Q him to death.
if he e-q you you should q him mid-air, i will not get rid of stun, be he wil not damage you so much while stunned, try to bait his E and go back, then poke him as much as you can.”
Defensivity1 says “Against jax you are forced to go with the grasp page, avoid getting in to his E stun and whenever he jumps on you throw down your w and disengage so he cant stun you, ask your jungeler or other teammates for help to collapse on him, you could potentially ban him as he outscales you by a lot.”
Luthy2278 says “Jax is a strong pick against YI both late and early game , especially early. Use your W while he is in his E and then run away from his stun. He is just a pain in the ass for YI and hope he is trash or you have a bit of luck, for only then will you be able to kill him.”
Quezel says “Skill matchup weighted towards Jax you have to use your q to poke him as often as you can and use your e to toss him off you during fights to deny him his stun as you cant stack your passive with autos while he is using it after you do that you can turn on him and very easily win the fight but he outscales you quite hard and his short trades are MUCH better so he can be a hassle.”
Ends says “can use his e to dodge setts main source of consistent damage being his auto attacks, and can use his jump to get away from the w or engage when w is on cd”
mightydylan101 says “Pretty easy to play against just dont give him kills as this champ can snowball hard. Since he is AD your Q blocks his auto attacks. Beware as his jump stun combo is deadly if he hits it mid game so play far enough back and CS.”
ProgettoYorick says “Jax is strong, but not unbeatable. Wait for him to use his jump and then apply the E-W-Q combo. During the initial phase of the first 3 levels, try not to get hit too much or you will end up staying with 3 hp, being unable to farm anymore. During level 6 you will be stronger to try an engage. OTP tip: prioritize ninja tabbi, his E blocks your Q, be careful.”
Greekamol says “Your w vs jax is a pure coinflip as he can hold it for 2 seconds while your w cast time is .75 seconds long. A late parry is better than an early parry as you can still parry one of his autos and reduce his attack speed rather than missing your w and being forced to recall. Try to dodge his e with q if you can q onto a minion so you can go back in. You will beat him in fights in mid-late game.”
ThisIsJustSad says “1. When he uses E, do not auto attack him.
2. When he uses E, W him. It does not matter if you stun him and block the E. All you have to do is him him with the W slow and you will win the fight.
3. If you're fighting Jax in the mid-game, try to use your Q to kite around and wait for your vitals to spawn. Jax benefits from autoattacking consistently, while Fiora benefits from waiting slightly for vitals to spawn.”
Fyurex says “Jax completely destroys you with his E. Also he is very slippery with his Q. Try to look for counter ganks and go in when he has committed with his Q and try to behind by that.”
Xelaadryth says “Skill matchup. You have a huge advantage on Jax at level 1, but after a few levels his jump and empowered auto chunk you very very hard. Maintain a stack on him to be able to stun for disengage when you need to, but most of the time you're pretty safe to auto. Don't try to 1v1 duel him in his own melee range though.”
Skarner Main says “Its a skill matchup when he es you just back off and then you counter attack him back after hes e is over with your e stun etc then walk out dont let him get free trades on you
”
Karnan says “A strong counter to Urgot yet there is outplay potential. If you time your E in return to his E you will evade most of his damage and you are free to damage him back. That's the reason I won't place Jax on extreme, but still be careful he has strong damage. With the removal of Shojin it's an easier matchup.”
AlienMV says “Watch Q range. Kite him out if he dives on you.
Early game you can generally kite him out with a point blank Q and W away when he jumps on you.
Later in the game, he will be impossible to duel as his E will deny a good portion of your damage.”
Mr. Nyahr says “Keep away from him while he has Counterstrike up, and reengage when it ends. Abusing short trades and his lack of power before level 6 will get you ahead.”
Generally Break says “Take glacial. Vault if he jumps on your face, and stay out of jump range if your vault is down. The only threat is once he gets shojin he gets crazy jump cooldown; you might build your own to help vault match.”
Asothin says “He has a very limited jump radius and will most often ready his Counter Strike before jumping on you so wait for him to use it and then E>Q>Q>Q, if he still jumps then W>AA>Q”
yetusek says “Grasp Runes. Ignite + Flash. Dorans blade start. Jax is a matchup that you MUST get an advantage on early game if you want to have good impact on the splitpush. The reason we take grasp is to help us get an advantage early. Grasp does not scale into jax it is purely for early game power. The reason why grasp is so good into this matchup is that you can get VERY good short trades and have a huge amount of sustain. Its hard to take extended trades against Jax because of his counterstrike stopping the allin. But if you do want to set up an allin for a kill this is how you do it. Build up your grasp by attacking minions, attack jax with the grasp proc, he will counterstrike. Walk up into his body and spin away so that you deal the spin damage on the way out. Now you have some time for a really good trade on jax while he has no counterstrike. Tryndamere's spin is a 12 second cooldown, meanwhile jax's counterstrike cooldown is 16 seconds level 1. You want to get an early level 2 in this matchup so make sure that you force a small trade early to burn jax's counterstrike before he stacks up his attack speed on his passive and then shove for level 2. Usually the player who gets level 2 first in this matchup will win the early game. When diving jax, try to burn his counter strike cooldown by auto attacking him under turret until he uses it then spin out of turret range. Then look to reengage the dive while his counterstrike is on cooldown. In the mid-late game splitpush you win if you have a lead, but lose if you don't have a lead. If you are losing the splitpush, look to force jax to come to you in the sidelane and look to make a rotation towards your team”
OneMustFall says “If the Jax is decent, he's just gonna farm up and outscale anything you do. He's got too much range/damage for you to deal with. Play it safe and try to get jungle ganks. IBG will let you kite but it'll be hard to kill him once he gets 6. ”
Kalrex says “Stupid champ, thank god they're removing shojin. He beats you in all trades pre-6 unless he misses his gigantic counter-strike on your even larger hitbox. Level 6, call for a gank and you can easily kill him. After he builds shojin, you won't be able to kill him. I like to play cull into this matchup”
Nightblue33 says “There really isn't a point in the game where you will out trade him, however if you can bait out his E, then you should be able to out trade him. If you waste your W on his E, then he can probably kill you.
”
Tep11 says “Jax can be a pain in the ass no kidding but once his stun is in cd you can pretty much run him over. Just, please, don't let him farm alone in lane or he will ruin your game”
T_ired says “Use o Q quando ele pular em você, isso pode te ajudar a recuar, use o W pois ele também te da Velocidade de Movimento, não deixe ele chegar perto de você, pode ser bem chato até o nível 6, a partir dai fique pokando ele e só troque se ele estiver low ou com ajuda do Jungler”
TerryTheWolf says “The way to beat this guy in lane is to make sure to always have 4 or 3 graves dug up and keep your W to the time where he decides to jump on you and doing his counter strike and when he does, you have to trap him in your W and wait till he finishes off and then hit E on him, summon your ghouls and try to do an AA+Q then retreat. he won't dare to do this again unless if he wants to die!”
Ze mentira says “Max Q. Rune: Comet or Grasp Page.
start corrupt potion and back with dark seal.
//Frozen heart is a good item to slow his attack speed and bramble vest to cut your healing from conqueror.”
DanteAyagawe says “Jax E can be a little fishy against my Build, but Mordekaiser can out run jax via Mordekaiser's Passive that provides additional movement speed when active. Just out smart him.”
Hamstertamer says “Don't play aggressive, stay at a distance from him so he can't ever fight you without jumping on you. If he activates his parry before jumping you, sit in your minion wave and turn on him when he does. If he jumps you before activating his parry, kite his stun with W.”
ineptpineapple says “Against a jax in lane its fairly easy just be careful and make sure you are well away or in shroud when he does his weird stun thing. Against a jax in jungle its more difficult and you should be more safe.”
Atlascrower says “Jax E can block your AA-Passive and your Q, but has a high-CD. Your barrels can hold him in place. He can engage/disengage easy. Dont try to duel him, play safe. ”
ExtremeExplosiveTeemo says “Don t blind him until he jumps on you and uses his e. He ll try to catch you all the time, but you ll win most trades. Remember that all he (and Kled) want is to jump and stun you, he thinks like a degenerate.”
AsomeSonic says “i don't see many jax players anymore, but when he ws considered op i never lost to him hard if he winds up his stun he might leap, your q is better than his autos in short trades”
Jezzzir says “Jax is normally an extremely easy matchup. The one difficult playstyle are Jaxes with corrupting pot that all-in you constantly starting at level 1-2. Kite, wait out his spin move, and punish his cooldowns. Champions that play as aggressively as Jax needs to are extremely easy for your Jungler to gank. If he gets ahead, do not ever try to fight him and instead just trade back when he dives you under tower.”
JohnRaged24 says “You have to be carefull with Jax. He is a strong champ and can kill you especially in the early game. Go with the "Damage" Rune Page, When he
Q-->E you, you go straight for E and press W when you think he will press E for the stun. After his E stun you can attack back with AAs until you can Q him again, After you Q him you just leave. He loses the trade and then you can play aggresive, When he tries to go for another trade do the same thing.”
DVL CHALLNGR says “His E can dodge your Passive and his Q can dodge your 1st 2 Q's. Try to have your R casted when you have Q3 because if he Q's you you it will be like he did no damage. Keep W and use it when he doesn't have Q because he can easily escape it”
blunderr says “Your Q is really good against Jax, Jax cant do any damage against you except for his E damage if you've blinded him. Don't use your Q to poke just use your auto attacks to poke, save your Q for when he jumps onto you. He is going to jump onto you and use his E which so your auto attacks and q wont do any damage but your Q will still blind him which should prevent a lot of damage. ”
Essela says “If you are playing against jax you have to win early game! Or eventually he will outscale you.You have to play with the grasp build to make the early laning phase easier.Look for short trades early and dodge his E with your E and then you can win the trades with grasp+crit shot.”
EpicDan01 says “Early on he has more kill pressure, but after Sunfire you can start to win fights. You should win most fights until he has TriForce + Shojin, in which case trades are fairly even, but you have better sustain.”
Rhinoface says “Pretty rough. Somewhat of a skill matchup, but definitely Jax favored. You can E him away if he jumps on you with his E primed, and ult him after he ults. If he rushes wits end, rush morello.”
HKRV says “The only real problem is his E. When he stuns you he can win early fights easily, but also mana costy. Skill matchup. You can outplay him, worth to know his kit. ”
Poppu says “Auto reliant champ, out trade with abilities and build tank and he becomes easy. However peel him from the backline, he becomes strong late game.”
Aizo says “Jax is a matchup where if you two have a bash off, jax is going to win every time so you have to be smarter with your play. All you have to do to survive his earlygame is to keep your Q up to block his engage leapstrike, walk back and wait for your Q to come back up again and keep doing it over and over. If you play this matchup right it should be quite easy”
MeliMeliDH says “Unless you majorly screw up this lane, you should have a pretty easy time. If he starts channeling his stun, use your shield to run away until it's on cooldown. Your only threath here is getting stunned by his E (he can then move into a better position to follow you across the lane), or getting ganked by their jungler.
Jax has a lot of damage for short trades, especially if he gets sheen early on, so you should avoid trading when his E is up, and mantra Q him when he jumps at you, then simply aa him while you run him down with root.”
Filepo says “Um bom Jax não deixa você clicar,ele vai pular em você,bater em você e no barril por causa do reset de auto,stunar você. E quando fechar tiamat vai cleanar mais rápido que vc.
FIQUE atento quando for dar Q nele,ele pode dar EQ em vc”
SoulHero says “Hah, urgot mains be losing this matchup( I use to lose during my first 500 or so games of urgot, finally developed a unbreakable counter strat to beat him). READ THIS CAREFULLY, ONE MISTAKE AND YOU MIGHT BE DOOMED: BUY DORANS BLADE,UPGRADE E FIRST, CS NORMALLY, DONT GET MINION AGGRO ON YOU. He's gonna walk up, auto, you trade autos, if he counterstrikes, wait a moment, .23 sec before he stuns, you flip, THE SHIELD WILL NEGATE HIS STUN DMG, YOU START BLASTING HIM TO DEATH, you kite, make sure you get as many shotgun knees off, make sure U KITE HIM. IF YOU DONT LAND FLIP WHILE HE STUNS, YOU'RE DEAD. I promise, you will outdmg every single jax player in the game if you do this correctly lvl 1. Later on, you win by doing this every time, YOU FLIP AS HE STUNS THEN OPEN W, if you're < lvl 9, FLIP HIM, DONT FLIP AWAY. Now here comes elaboration: if he adapts to your playstyle like some jax players do and doesn't counterstrike, he will prob out dmg you, in this case, open w and he will counterstrike, advise you to walk away if he learns you playstyle until you hit lvl 9 powerspike. LVL 9 YOU SHOULD HAVE MAX W FOR INFINITE PEWPEW. Anticipate his jump, q yourself when he lands, TOGGLE W, he countstrike, do the flip trick, and mow him to death. This is a delicate matchup, if he gets a head just a bit too much, you lose. You win midgame, lategame should be even, but he most likely can outdmg you late based on drake and what he builds. ”
litboijustinx says “This is an interesting matchup as it could go either way. In the early game, Jayce has the advantage but make sure that you save your abilities for after he uses his counter strike. Jayce shines in the midgame but will inevitably get outscaled by the Jax if you don't get any strong leads.”
smurferrefrums1 says “Jax is not particularly easy. Your Q can stack a nado through his counter-strike *hashinshin intensifies* but it doesnt deal damage and you can still lose the trade if he times it correctly and stuns you before it actually procs. Play this lane really careful or you risk getting destroyed throught the entire game. If you see him buy sheen as a first item, just wait for the minions to come under the tower , farm and wait for him to do a mistake.
”
DrNaara says “If he jumps on you, place your W at your feet and hope it gets him to back off, after he has used his jump>stun combo, he is pretty vulnerable and you can try to hit him with an E as he backs away. Avoid prolonged fights though because his passive makes him attack faster the longer the fight goes on.”
Petethebossch says “Skill Matchup. If you ever get ahead in the 1v1 then there is no coming back for jax. You cannot fight well levels 2-5 but 1 and 6+ are good especially after Tri-force. Try to predict the counterstrike by dodging out of a q at the last second and w him to not get stunned.”
Haota says “You can survive this lane.
Jax dmg come from the autos, so your W can counter it.
When he comes to stun you, you just turn back and taunt in the direction of your tower, with the taunt he can't follow up you and just lose stun, rarely use your e agressive in this lane.
”
Dorwu says “Once he gets Triforce you dont really have a chance to beat him in 1v1 situations. Better poke him early ,make him lose as much cs as possible.”
empoleonz0 says “Jax is a perfect champion to perma ban. He outscales you and is a better split pusher than you are, his laning isn't so weak that you can shut him down, he's also quite a common pick as well.”
TiuHiikou says “Not a hard matchup. I need to avoid his E... If he start Q and E on you, E and wait, when his counterattack is off, go in. He's pretty much dead after that.”
homxr says “This match-up should definitely be in your favor, but you need to make sure you land your Q and he doesn't counter-strike it, or he doesn't stun you and gets to throw in some autos while you do nothing, because it will do some serious damage. Work around his kit.”
Necrops says “Put your E when he E so he will not damage you if you can't retreat. Try to activate it a bit later cause his E last longer. Beware, he can jump in your back. Your damage output is bigger early.”
messketchup says “You can dominate Jax early game by zoning with your Q and with all-ins at level 2, punish when he tries to farm. He'll eventually outscale you but you have the early game advantage so roam more and build offense first (Hydra + Triforce) build tanky after.”
Sonny2o9 says “Jax becomes a major problem after 6. Best thing to do is punish him when he has 0 stacks on his passive and to buffer his counter strike with E-Q. You win by going even in CS. ”
Angela du Seithr says “Jax a toujours eu du mal face à Pantheon durant l'early game, mais maintenant que le champion scale avec le late game et peut dominer le grand duelliste grâce à son E, il est facile de devenir le plus grand ennemi de ce dernier. Toujours faire attention à son E et essayer de bait son ultime pour qu'il ne profite pas des résistances bonus.”
Sukay says “Make sure you don't trade any Q's into him while he is dodging (helicopter). The best way to dodge his stun would be to root him with empE, or you can also empW the stun, but then you will also take the damage. A very nice trick is to slow him immediately, and then run to a bush, so he cant jump on you. You can easily win trade if you negate his stun.
If not, you're a dead cat. ”
The Jhin Cena says “Grab a Thornmail as your 2nd item if they have no AP, otherwise as your 5th or 6th item. It's pretty hard to avoid his E as Nasus, but unless he's fed it shouldn't be too threatening.”
PandaSenpai101 says “This is one of many skill matchups. Jax can be very tricky when using his E. Remember that his E timer is longer than your W. This means that if he doesn't use his E instantly, you should be able to parry it easily. His E also cancels your Q damage, but doesn't put it on cooldown. Look to bait out his ultimate, and go all in when it's down.”
12inchpvpness says “If he pops E you can W him and walk away to not get stunned. If he pops E and is about to Q onto you just W and you will switch places rendering him unable to stun you.”
Zestysquid says “His dodge/stun applies to boxes for some reason. This means he can engage on you inside your box setup, dodge all the attacks, and then stun you and your turrets all with one ability. If he activates the dodge, let him hop onto you if you have turrets around you and immediately Q away. You can re-engage after the stun triggers and sometimes get a kill. Be careful about roaming too much since he will be able to take your tower super easily.”
PogLord says “ULTIMATE STEAL SCORE: 1/5
Eventho you'd think you can E away from his E, you are very wrong. He will keep his Q only for that very moment. You try to poke? He might E-Q you real fast. Get very good reflexes to dodge him, if he stunned you don't trade, W him. Thanks to his passive, he will win any trades. Play passive, if you feel tired and not energetic, don't pick Sylas.”
TheWils says “Jax ist that big off a deal because he is always trying to get a up in your face poke, meaning you can stack your passive faster and making him a easy target.”
Dr.G Killa says “He wins you If he knows how to trade and play against Darius, he outscales you, but you can crush him even late game, just need to play smart and GG.”
Rikimarox2 says “Not that much of a problem tbh, after you get ult and sheen, it's gonna be easy. Beware though, he scales quite hard into the late game.”
Jnewbringspain says “In theory you counter Jax a lot with your W. The problem is, Jax has low cooldown and exceptional sustained damage while your W cooldown is very long. Also, his E will dodge your Q basics, so it's pretty even. Go for short engages and back off.”
The_Unf0rgiv3n says “Against a good jax, you won't hit your Q many times on this lane. But a good way of making him use his E is to start spinning onto him and while you're spinning, press Q so right after you come out of it, you will do a lot of damage and he will most probably not block it.”
Prince Afghan says “I personally struggle with Jax quite a bit. His early is quite strong as his E can block both your Q and your ghouls autos. Early game Jax is quite strong despite being a typical late game champion. Late game you will have to fight Jax quite a bit as he will constantly follow you to stop your splitpush. Don't engage him without Maiden as he will likely be able to kill you easily. Drop your W only after hes used his Q and you should be fine in the 1 v 1.”
zuiop21 says “His E can block Kled's W if timed well.
Try to bait it out by E Q-ing on him and no basic attacking. Jax players usually use it instantly after an E Q combo from Kled. After that your W doesn't go to waste”
M2 Jizu says “Trata de esquivar su E, si no puedes esquivarla entonces usa tu W antes de que su E te stunee, normalmente los Jax's usan su W cuando estas stuneado.”
Ryako the Exile says “Skill matchup but jax has a weak early game. Everytime he jumps on you with E, just do E+W and wait until you will get your spells back. Basicly play arround his E and better get him early out of game, his late is very strong”
Yisuo says “Easy if you have experience in his trading pattern, insta lost if u don't, e,w when he all ins with counter strike and re-engage with autos and qs, ”
ColonelDukeMayo says “Jax is a massive threat if you don't manage him early game. If he gets the jump on you he can deal huge damage and can ultimately steal the lane from you. Keep your distance and try to rupture him further out if possible. ”
HAMMERSLAYER says “Avoid all combat with him unless he wasted his E, he is one of the rare picks that can have an easy time against Xin, try to make ganks to lanes when you are sure that he is not nearby.”
The Jhin Cena says “He's only scary if your E is down or if he's fed. Try and land a fully charged R on him and then Q > W. Wait until he uses his E and then use yours. However don't drop down early, you want his E to go off while you're on your troll-pole and so then you can safely drop down and kill him. The slow from the fully charged E is a nice kill-secure.”
RainbowNova says “Jax is very much so screwed if he goes against you. You'll not only tank his damage, but you can blind him the moment you see him use his dodge ability.”
Lil Tidepod says “Jax is an overall annoyance. Counter strike is an irritating ability, and on top of that he can do a lot of damage. His ultimate will make him really, really tanky. If he pops counter strike at the right time he'll stun you and cancel your Q. On top of that, he has some decent mobility with his jump. Take care against him and call for jungle help. Don't 1v1 him unless you're two levels ahead and have a decent item lead, maybe a full item or 3/4 of a full item.”
Tior123 says “If he uses his E on you just retaliate by using your E and pushing him away, the slow and knock back is just enough to prevent him from stunning you.”
zygiux says “Hard matchup, when fighting directly try to predict when his E end so you can E from him, and don't try to fight him with no minions near.”
Dr.Chrishock says “Presses E you cant attack him so ur W is useless
you can counter him if you do Q when u see him pressing E and
then you E back and then auto after he has no Q E and he is slowed by ur Q”
xYoshidax says “Jax is an extremely annoying yet dangerous match-up. He scales really fast due to his passive and his stun+jump+Q can one shot if fed. Be very careful, I suggest banning him in all instances.”
ImpossibleLogic says “You out trade him hard early game. As long as you abuse him early with Q poke and combo's, you will absolutely destroy him. When he has around second item like Spear of Shojin he will start to kill you unless your fed.”
Killerbarrett says “As much as anyone can deal with him his counter attack makes Auto attack based moves not go through, plus at the end of the counter he also stuns you for a short duration not fun. You can get out with your bear stance speed but do be weary.”
Hunterlogic says “Easier to kill between levels 1-10, as soon as he gets 2 items, you will start to lose unless you are ahead.
His E really messes you up, even more so if you don't get an auto off at all to proc your passive. If he misses his counterstrike then you can probably smash him.”
LighterDay says “While your Q may be countered by Jax's E, maxing Garen's E will make it impossible for Jax to properly engage. Even if Jax lands his stun, Garen's W will shorten it and you can go back to attacking him in lane.”
CAPTCHAFAMILY says “That's an aggressive baller. Be aware of his stun and jumps toward you. After he stuns or jumps, attack him starting from your grab (E)”
EvilOranges says “Jax is fine as long as you dodge his jump stun with your Q and slow him with E. Keep kiting and look to countergank when possible. Don't let him get fed, and ask for laners help if that happens.”
Scuz Rat says “When he jumps on you W, throw a Q and run away, trades can be won if he wastes Counter Strike but mostly focus on chip harass and a farm advantage”
GrGamingTeo says “This lane is all about outplaying his e. Most Jax players will be able to press e before you q them so max e first and ait for jax to use his e and after he uses it startto spin, press your q and you will win all of the trades.”
GrGamingTeo says “Pretty easy matchup for Darius. Really easy way to counter his e is to pull him before it end or when he's using it after he leaps asit both stuns you and it allows you to win the trade.”
DrMoneybags says “One of the worst matchups next to Fiora. His counter-strike completely negates your W, and he just smashes your face in if you get dismounted. If you can bait out his counter-strike a few times early, you can possibly kill him with ignite. But if he gets ahead at all, your lane is going to be a living nightmare. Push and Roam to get gold for Cleaver+Spear of Shojin and you can maybe out-duel him midgame.”
Big Boy Matty D says “Your E is really good against him, consider maxing first. You'll have to get a feel for when he uses his counter-strike, if he uses it at the start of a trade don't active your W until he stuns you. Then chase him down with Q and claps while he is defenseless.”
Qubert64 says “Jax will get destroyed early game. If he makes it to late game he will out scale. Try to avoid late game 1v1's unless you are way ahead.”
The_CuItivator says “Big daddy will always beat you late game. Must be clever to dodge that E and hit every Q. You can certainly beat him in laning phase and mid game. But after that if you can't end game early. It's over.”
Speedy the dart says “Start doran's blade and go aftershock. Matchup is difficult due to his Q and his E, but focus on hooking him to displace him when he jumps on you. Save Q for when he jumps. Go ghost.”
AceTheCroc says “Don't be looking for trades, even you want to E out he will stun you, however if you bait out his E, then you should be able to out trade him. If you waste your W on his E, then he can kill you.”
Shroom101 says “Jax can easily dodge your attacks wait for his counter strike to timeout while running back then blind if he will reactivate it or it will timeout so he can deal damage to you while you're stunned and like fiora stalling time can make you win against jax”
OnionMilkshake says “you out trade him hard early game so as long as you abuse him early with Q poke and combo's you will absolutely destroy him, when he has around second item like spear of shojin he will start to kill you unless your fed
(Recommended: Conq)”
bluejaypig says “He is really strong vs you because of his counter strike. Just meditate when he counter strikes and late game you can almost definitely win against him.”
TheNinjaRoid says “Can bully you out of lane if you let him. Avoid his W at all costs in a duel. Look to go in on him when this is on cooldown. Do not fight him until at least level 6, he will win every time. Get a Sheen and you'll win lane if you're able to farm. Not a big threat if you play the lane right.”
DeadlyReaper says “Threat notes are unfinished.
I will go into detail about all of the threats and why they are ranked the way that they are, in a later version of this guide.”
Dr.Chrishock says “Just play Def and farm ,try to bait him and E when he doesnt have E he usually E before you E so that he wont take any damage and stun you so bait him”
Jettboy says “Can destroy you but if you play smart you can win 1v1 against him. ult can counter a lot of his dmg, Q can slow him so he has trouble stunning you. If he gets ahead there's nothing you can do about him.”
Khazem says “As with most bruiser matchups, their threat levels are low early on but increase as they gain levels and get tankier. Look to abuse them hard early on and build a lead to avoid getting snowballed on.”
qtANG says “Jax is seen frequently in top lane. just E>AA>Q then he will open his [[Counter Strike]]. when he activate this, just w [[Decoy]] and walk to a safe distance from his stun. After that, just AA>AA>E>AA>Q then ignite.”
GUAGUAMA says “Not as much as ranged, but it is hard to get klepto procs on him. Hold your W until he E+Qs to you, disengage with it and auto him as he walks back. Same goes for Camille or any other champion with a dash.”
LosAngeloser says “He outdamages you, blocks your Q, has good mobility and greatly outscales you. Go comet and try to support other lanes. You probably also need Exhaust to prevent him from killing you.”
ApexDresden says “Strong champion, a lot of trading potential and denies your AA's, however bait out his Q (hop), then disengage, then reengage. He'll most likely use counter-strike when he attempts to fight you so make sure you don't AA him, use your Q and W. ”
Tokor says “En early, il vous laissera un peu tranquille si son jungler ne vient pas l'aider. Vers le mid game en revanche ça se complique. Il va vous faire très mal sans que vous puissez vraiment répondre. Pendant les teamfights, essayez de le laisser go in sur un allié et aider le ensuite avec votre ulti. Après ça vous pourrez normalement le DPS assez sereinement.”
The Lost Drawing says “Facil al comienzo, en late es un monstruo ya que aprovecha de manera demasiado eficiente sus objetos.
Solo cuidate de su 'E'. Normalmente la usan para cancelarte tu pasiva, así que has que la gaste”
ElleryTheViking says “When his counter-strike is down he's useless. If he leaps on you to counterstrike, you chase him down with Q and E spam, there's nothing he can do but run. Post 6 it's over. The second he leaps on you with counterstrike, you ult and spam E and Q, it goes right through his counterstrike. He's as good as dead with no escape. ”
WorseAverage says “MAX E.
An actual nightmare to face in the top lane.
Out damages, an obnoxious hard cc that he can abuse on you even if you buffer it, and an extremely simple escape from your engage.
It's winnable, but only if the Jax is bad.”
godv4r says “One of the hardest and the most frequently match up. You can't beat him mid or late game 1v1. If you lose lane, you will have to team fight in order to win. NEVER engage first, when he uses his Q and E to engage you, wait for the E go off and you can have a free kill with Ghost.”
kingkang2 says “Jax is one of the hardest matchups if the Jax knows what he's doing. He can jump out of the rape cage, block your Q damage and the goon squad damage with his E. Always ban this champion if your team doesn't.”
SynergyXO says “when he uses counter strike, you can walk into him and spin out to get the spin dmg off, dont step up if you dont have spin and he has counter strike.
”
E61K says “This matchup entirely revolves around Jax's E and Q. Watch out for level 1-2 as he beats you at those stages. Always skill E 2nd so you can disengage if he should engage on you at level 2 with his Q+E. Post-3 Bait out his E by walking up to him and AA him, backing off and then reengaging. Smart usage of your E to deny him his
Q+E is the key to winning this matchup. If he jumps on you while having his E active pull him mid air to deny him and gain some distance so he can't stun you. Then fight him. The reason why your E helps you against his E is because it's a slow and a displacement at the same time and enables you to counter his Q+E. A good Jax will save his Q to dodge your Q at which point he then will use his E to deny you stacks for your passive, putting you in a very bad spot to be in. Therefore don't use your E aggressively unless you have a big wave backing you up or you know his E is down or you're so far ahead that it doesn't matter anyways. Lanes snowballs heavy from both sides but Jax snowballs harder than you because he is more mobile. Once he gets Essence Reaver you cannot afford to slip up against him. If you get hit by his E you're gonna lose unless you're ahead. Tabis, Adaptive Helm and something that provides and AS cripple like Randuin's Omen are the best items you can build against him.
”
SwiftOblivion says “Strengths: Auto attack damage, CC, Dueling potential. Weaknesses: Auto attack reliant, weak early. The main thing you should worry about this matchup is his Counter-Strike. Our Riposte only lasts 0.75 seconds to be hit with CC to reflect it back. Jax’s Counterstrike lasts a total of 2 seconds. 1 second of channel time and another second to activate the stun. With that being said, you should always wait at least 1 second after he starts up his Counter-Strike before using your Riposte on him. This almost guarantees that if he uses the Counter-Strike near you, he’s going to get stunned. If he uses it before you can riposte, just use the riposte for his enhanced auto attack or leap since most Jax players do both at about the same time. Similar to how you want to block an auto and apply the slow in the Trynadamere matchup. The golden rule to Fiora Riposte in my opinion at least, is “Better Riposte later and block another threat rather than Riposte early and block nothing.” Other than that, Jax is not that hard of a matchup because you have the damage to outduel him early. The only threat Jax poses is once he gets to his 3-4+ Item stage of the game where his dueling potential is monstrous. Try to shut him down early to delay his Tri-force power spike as much as possible.”
Miracle Matter says “This champ used to hard-counter Splitpush Zilean, until I switched to Resolve and incorporated Zz'Rot portal. Now he simply cannot burst you down, so if he *ever* jumps on you, you simply stun him, step away, then slow him while pelting him with auto-attacks for a few seconds. You can win most trades this way, but even so, always respect his early jump+THWACK harass. The burst can be astounding. Don't let him close enough to attack you unless you have your cooldowns read to stun him and disengage as soon as he does.
Try to shove him in as much as possible once you have Tear+Lost Chapter. Then you can harass him under tower. Keep the river warded!”
Suthafru says “Jax - While early game jax doesn't have the tankiness and you might be able to poke him down enough to discourage him from going all in, in most cases, jax can jump onto you and kill you. his e makes you almost entirely useless while active, and his jump closes the gap you create while poking”
Saiyan02 says “A hard counter to Xin Zhao. Because Xin is an all in champion and Jax can just E your all in. Don´t fight him unless he waist his E then you can go in”
Hootsman says “Jax v Warwick is somewhat of an even match up. But if Jax or you get a lead, the lane is pretty much over. His counter-strike is a deadly ability, play around his CD.”
xafemode says “blocks autoes and gets his biggest power spikes before you. Also counterstrike reduces aoe damage, so your q, e, and crit magic damage waves(before 16) will do less to him”
drunken hunter says “Jax usually is Rengar's hardest counter - thats what i thought til i understood what to do.
You have to wait for his (E) with this ability he dodges your auto hits and your (Q), while he dodges he can hit you with auto hits or his (W) that does hard magical dmg! When hes i done with the dodging, he stuns you.
But this is the only ability from jax that counters you. If he activated his (E) and is about to jump on you, run in bush and jump on a minion, so that you are out of his range to jump.
After that you can trade him. The lvl 2/3 engage works aswell if you wait for his (E), you make him use it or if he simply doesnt have his (E) in lvl 1.
(Buy Merkury's Treads against Jax!!)”
kkiskk says “His kit counters AA champions. I don't know why his early game is crappy now. First, dont combo him when he has his E up. Second, you have 50 more AA range than him, use this at your advantage. Third, be smart and back off if he has more than 5 stacks of passive. Fourth, watch out for the Q+W+third R proc combo, count his AAs. I guess they nerfed him hard, I win all the match up with Jax after the reworked conqueror.”
SubSequence says “More mobility than you and the ability to dodge all of your damage make him annoying, but as long as you avoid him early game and wait for him to go in and pop his E. ”
Lemondads says “Jax Counterstrike makes it difficult for you to win trades as a Melee champion. It is typically better to try and CS in this match up and roam with your Ultimate to gain advantages in other lanes.”
Sion says “AIDS lategame.
If you snowball off of him early, abandonship and start going to other lanes and snowballing them. Once he has two items it's gameover as he can simply 1v3 everyone and I mean everyone.
YOU HAVE TO CLOSE THE GAME EARLY.”
TSA_Exotic says “Ahhhh, my favorite matchup for top lane. Why? Because Jax is absolutely defenseless when he can't even get him auto range of you. Wait for Jax to activate his E, that will be your warning sign to get ready to Condemn him away when he tries to jump on you. Once you do that and his E goes away with no success then you just chase him down and poke him as much as you can, constantly forcing him out of lane. If you do that you should always walk away winning lane and greatly ahead of the Jax, allowing you to snowball your team to victory.”
Vincheelo says “Apprehend him when he is in his Counter Strike. He can avoid your Decimate with his Leap Strike, so be careful about that. Snowballs pretty hard so don't feed him.”
TheNecromancerr says “One of that hardest matchups, but very winnable if you play smart. Like versus any other champion trade with him so you can dodge his E with Q on a minion, once he wasted it he is very vulnerable. Make sure you also win 1 or 2 shorter trades, then all in him, since Jax is a monster in long trades. Makes sure to stomp him in lane since he outscales you a lot.”
SkullNatoR says “your hope is in early game and get fed before he gets tri force+spear cuz of his early game long cooldowns
after he gets those items don't think of 1v1 him unless u r super ahead
get mallet if you went PD, or sterakk's if you buy shiv
you might need ninja tabi in this matchup”
The Tentacle Lady says “One of the few champs who can all in you even if you get a successful e. When you get his soul, back off a bit to make sure he can't jump on you and hopefully he blows his spinny staff thing.”
Proxxecube says “Like Irelia, Jax is a late game hyper carry. But, you have a significantly stronger laner than him: use that. Not to mention that even if you miss your parry, you still have the auto attack debuff that can make it significantly harder for him to win. Late game, so long as you won lane, you will have no problems fighting Jax.”
VdeathSpartan says “Jax is surprisingly easy despite what most Yi players will tell you, predict his stun based on his habits, also W through his dodges duration to avoid his DPS.”
Strg Kaosz says “si te toca contra el, guarda tu últi en las tf, lo mas probable es que entre por atrás directo a ti y tu últi sera tu medio de escape”
mellemonsterr says “olaf is much about auto attacks and jax block every auto attack with his E therefor i put him as a threat but if you can bait out his E its much easeir to kill him ”
mcasterix123 says “Jax at the moment is pretty terrifying. Due to his mixed damage of all three types, you should avoid fighting on his terms. Try to E as his is just about to end so you can scoot away during the stun. The timing is tricky and is somewhat luck dependent, but it can be a real help.”
lollmao says “after he buys an item he deals tons of damage. in early is ok but after one item he can beat you in almost any case. play defense, use defensive runes and items and ask for some ganks to take him down”
yingwaiwastaken says “Jax is not a huge problem, as you outtrade him early game. Whenever he jumps onto you, cast Infernal Chains on him, and dodge his stun using Umbral Dash, if successful he generally won't win fights on you without blowing flash. However, late game Jax will generally beat you in a 1v1 so avoid fighting then.”
Ghostwalker562 says “Uhhh just becareful this dude can wack you pretty hard, if you win early you win the game but if you lose you should work with the team more.”
Zahkar00 says “Either would work.
If you have Grasp, just AA him whenever its up and back off into minions, if he jumps into you stun him right before he stuns you than just wack him. If you have Glacial than you can engage, here is how it usually goes. You engage. you AA him he tried to stun, you stun pop pot and run out of his stun range than go back in.”
Bakiraka says “This lane is super easy if you play level 1 right. Bully him with Q whenever it's up and you'll basically win the lane. Don't go for full trades.”
Trixelkour says “Prolonged fights are what makes Jax THEE greatest dueller. But against you... meh. E him after his Q, but make sure that you have enough space for your stun to come back to hit Jax. Don't take long trades and you're fine. Take Aftershock or Phase Rush for extra duel potential. Get Liandry's into Gargoyle and you have yourself a failure of a Grandmaster of Arms to roast about.”
Jiben says “a good jax is almost impossible to trade with thanks to his e while he can't recklessly jump on you normally if he gets the slightest lead its over. Not to mention that he outscales you late aswell so unless you get a gank or two he might be stronger than you at every stage of the game”
Swagus says “Most people would ask about this one "But it's jax toplane with counter strike! shouldn't he be on extreme threat?" Not at all, he's easy to handle if you know what you're doing and you can counter his jump and counter strike with your knockup which leaves him open. besides you have true damage on your bite which he cannot counter.”
heyitsRainex says “A rather easy matchup for Renekton since Jax isn't strong pre-6. As long as you don't trade when Jax is channeling his E, you win the lane.”
lunarstaff says “Nightmare. Kill him early to get the stack, then avoid him for the rest of the game. Thanks to his build, he will be semi tanky but will deal alot of damage.”
go6unatora says “You can not beat him because even when striking with E or R he will dodge it with his E and then leap on you. You can not take him down due to his tankiness provided from his ultimate. ”
WhispeRCZ says “try to bait out his helicopter and then fight him or just q when he spins and he wont even stun you because he will try to dodge it, so unles he is very fast thinker he will miss the stun”
E61K says “Jax generally does well into auto-attack based champions. More so if they are melee. Yasuo is one of those types of champions. His E will prevent Yasuo from dealing damage to him with auto-attacks but it WON'T prevent your Q from dealing damage to him IF he isn't the first target getting hit by the Q otherwise the Q will also get blocked by his E. Jax usually tries to stack his passive on minions and then jump on you to trade. Rush Tabis against him. Jax is a godlike duelist late game, so don't expect to win against him without any effort. Since Jax stacks a lot of items which grant him health buying a BORK becomes necessary. Bait out his E and try to avoid the stun by dashing onto minions, then reengage with your ult. Also remember that Jax's E is super buggy in terms of interaction with Yasuo's Q. Falling behind in this lane will result in a very rough time for you.”
undeadsoldiers says “Jax - Conqueror
Early items (in order) - Phage, Tabi, Sheen
- All in lvl 1 (passive stacked AND if he doesn't start with his counter; if he starts counter, bait it early and only all in if he misses his stun)
- No all in lvl 2 unless you're already ahead and can escape his stun by Qing a minion
- Play safe in lane (let him engage, saving W for his initial burst)
- DON’T all in alone until Trinity and his E and ult on cooldown
- Bait his counter with short trades if there's a minion to Q out to
- Save W for his Q W empowered auto combo after he's lvl 6
- Ult cooldown: 80
”
Omega best says “It all depends on skills, if you attack him while he stuns you you are dead, but if he uses his stun and you e and w him in your minion wave you will win, play safe and build armor and call for ganks if possible ”
nanosako says “Jax is also one of the best top lane duellist and can avoid your damage with his E making it hard for you to do anything. You can't beat him late game, but you might get a few opportunities after level 6. Don't try before that”
TehGuides says “Start dorans blade.trade with him as much as you can in the early game.Wen he uses his helicopter just E away and dont auto attack him cause he will deal more damage with his E”
Zachlikespizza says “His hop and counter strike make him hell to fight against. He'll first hop onto you while you're on your first q then he'll use counterstrike to negate your passive damage while finally disengaging with the stun. Overall it's a skill match up and what you need to do is use your e to escape his e range.”
ninja8135 says “This matchup is difficult because of Jax's dodge and stun ability. Force the [[Jax]] to jump onto you and pop his e. When he does, use your dashes to get away as soon as possible. Then go back and finish him off when it expires.”
Demon Lord AC0 says “As long as you don't let him stun you or free hit you, he can't kill you. Just make sure you don't ult into a E'd Jax to get insta-stunned after you ult.
He is one of the few who can outdamage you in the Late game. Sterak is a good idea against him.
Start Doran's blade and rush Tabi then Bork for sustain”
Shinumo says “Jax, ah Jax. His Q and E combo counters you if you try to spin away, his E blocks your auto attacks. Damage is high, good duelist. Not much you can do to Jax throughout the course of the game unless you can take him out early.”
TakeLPlease says “Jax's dodge can block your brush hops and ultimates. You can wait it out with your ultimate and brush hops, but if he doesn't use his dodge while you're using your ultimate, it won't be worth using your ultimate on him due to the fact that it will be dodged anyway, ending up with you dead. The way to counter this is to wait for his dodge to end or for someone else to waste it.”
Eagled says “-----------MY PERSONAL PERMABAN-----------
You can definitely beat Jax in the early game, but once he hits 2 Items (or even just completes Triforce) you can't win a single duel against him anymore. He'll hostage you to sidelane against him, making you completely useless for your team. You won't be even able to survive his dives later on.
Regarding how often he is picked currently, I'd suggest permabanning him as Irelia.
if you still decide to leave him open, try to dodge his E by Q'ing to minions. If it's inevitable, press W close before he casts his E a second time. When his E is down, that is the perfect oppurtunity to all in him.”
Coelinha says “Cuidado com o stun dele//Nos niveis iniciais dê o maximo de dano que conseguir nele//É uma matchup de detalhes, o melhor player vai ganhar ”
Pfzoz says “This bad boi have a build that gives him an absurd amount of cooldown, he's literally you with a few more armor/magic resistance and a stun. If you somehow evade his stun, eliminate him as fast as possible.”
upalter says “This means danger, avoid to get a duel because is a garanted defeat, the main reason is beacuse is one of the best duelists on the entire game.
Try to silence him on your position if he jumps in you and always keep an eye on the enemy jungler.”
HunterFreddy says “Jax can jump and stun you. If you stand close or if he jumps in before his stun pops you can fling him away. Alot of Jax's know this and will try to play with their stun popping the second they jump in. Or use the jump after you flinged them.”
Trixelkour says “May be your worst match-up yet. Take Sunfire into Wit's End to have a small chance to out duel him. Exhaust and PTA is your best bet.”
FlakNShrapnel says “Messes up your autos and can outdamage you. You might be able to get a cheeky kill here and there but for the most part just farm then look to roam with your ult.”
joelblack says “Jax is a mean boi. He will jump your ass and start his E to counter you. Even if you jump away, he still gets away with damage. Play the early game safe af until you get Cleaver and then once he jumps you, jump/flash away and chase his ass down. If he gets a powerful engage, you will prob die. But if you can jump away correctly and tail his ass, you can kill him. This is a true test of mechanics. ”
CaioOP1985 says “Another auto-attack based champion, Jax suffers greatly from your Wither. If he tries to jump and stun you, use WIther and Spirit Fire and get away from him. Try to ignore him and just farm, rush Frozen Heart and you should be good to go.”
Ashnard says “Jax is really strong right now and can easily punish you if you're not careful. You can poke him down and kite him in lane, but you cant really win all ins due to his counterstrike and ult making him extremely tanky. If you're not experienced with aatrox or the matchup, I would recommend banning him.”
DERPFISHrejects says “Incredibly good at juking in and out of your threat range. You need to harass him and try to punish his last hits. Jax is a monster late-game, so you have to slow his pace so he doesn't get there in time.”
JefferXpr3ss says “Jax is a very tough opponent to deal with for anyone really, but especially for Ornn. He has very high damage with a stun, meaning if it's early on and he catches you with his stun and you're not under tower, you are basically dead. He's just an all around rough matchup.”
Dacnomaniak says “A pretty easy match up early game. His late game scaling is where you need to be worried. Avoid extended fights and use your W to block his jump stun.”
galvapheonix says “ Jax can block your Q and ghoul damage with his E, and kill them as well if they're close enough to him. If you see Jax use his counter, that's when you want to E him as soon as you can. He can also jump out of your trap, so this may turn into a passive lane. Do not try to 1v1 him after level 11 when he gets a second point into his ult. Take thornmail in this matchup.”
thedunkening111 says “You gotta be careful. Try to bait out his stun level 1. Once that's done, start taking trades with him. You really don't want to fight him with stun up, that's really it.
He gets a pretty big power spike with his ultimate steroids at level six, so be very careful.
Take Conqueror”
OmegaTeemo says “While he might seem an easy champ to play against, a good jax will be a pain in the ass. Try to zone and bully him, abuse your early advantage and be careful after he has Trinity Force.”
Castcade says “Jax is by far the most annoying thing to deal with well his mobility counter striking and also auto based makes him almost impossible to kite i recommend playing safe and to not venture alone in his jungle or atkeast with out anyone nearbye”
Bananaman710 says “Jax is Probably your biggest counter other than their entire teams CC because he will negate your damage with his E Counter Strike which means unless you can dodge with your E when the stun comes on or just wait it out you will lose.”
planouze says “Early game is pretty fine. Post 6 becomes hard. Play safe and you should be fine, but remember that he will punish you every time you will make a wrong step.”
L0ganJG says “If he EVER E > Q's you, that should be a free WALL BANG with your E. Then W and Q to trade. Unfortunately you cannot just W towards him or he will smoke you, BUT if you do accidentally hit W towards him, try to wait for him to Q then go for an E into the wall.
If he plays it perfectly, you do not get many chances to win.”
Haxorr says “Jax with Grasp is a really hard opponent to face because he is able to get prio with his E and he just has so much healing and damage. I play both champs and I much prefer to be on the Jax side of the matchup these days, though in the past I thought it was Fiora favored. Take Conqueror with Bone Plating and Doran's Blade in this matchup and give prio early, looking for baby qs that he cannot react to with his e. As for parry usage, you can use his to stun off his e but a good Jax will mix up his e usage so it can be really hard to do it correctly, and if you fail and still get stunned you're cooked (this is how I beat most Fioras as Jax). Parrying his W is often better than anything else as that's where his main damage comes from. Against a bad Jax, using movement to bait his E can work very well, I don't recommend doing long Qs to vitals as if he reacts with his E you're cooked. You outscale eventually and after 6 if he overextends too hard you win all-ins, but if he just plays for short trades it's really hard to beat Jax. You have better wave clear than him so throughout the game look to win with tempo, always pressuring side waves and moving fast on the map.”
AdeptDrax says “bait out his jump and E it then he has no way to stun you with his counter cause you can easly get out of it's range with Q, quiet hard to manage cause his ult will always win him the 1v1 so watch out for that.”
CactEyez says “Pretty easy, don't auto his E (dodge) it will not apply stacks and will increase his damage. Once the E is down you can just walk at him.
