Who this champion beats in lane, and who beats it.Who counters Jax and who Jax beats
Jax is a monster in a fair fight, but the whole package is built around getting his hands on you and winning a long brawl, so the way to beat him is to refuse him that fight. He has only one gap closer in Leap Strike, and it needs a target nearby to reach far, so a champion who can stay out of range or who out trades him early gives him real trouble. His Counter Strike eats auto attacks, which means leaning on abilities and damage over time instead of raw autos blunts his best defensive tool. He is also weak before his items come online, so an early bully can put him so far behind that his famous scaling never arrives. When you pick Jax, you are betting on reaching the mid to late game, so respect anything that out sustains you, out ranges you, or simply wins the lane before you spike.
