Jax Counters

The best picks outside of lane to counter Jax include Kalista, Kai'Sa, and Zeri. These champions are all great at countering Jax with win rates over 55%. Even if these Jax counter picks are not taken in the same position as you, it's not a good idea to choose him into one of these matchups. They will very likely destroy Jax.

Yet, if the other team picks either Lillia or Teemo, you should seriously think about choosing him, as he easily beats these champs with win rates over 54% against each ofthem.

Jax is particularly strong in late-game scenarios, which means it's critical to pressure him early. He is vulnerable in the early game and can be kept in check with aggressive play before he acquires his core items.

He has a distinct weakness against champions who can kite him out of his attack range and those who are ranged. Use these champions to poke him until he's low on health, and then aim for an all-in assault.

His passive allows him to split push, making him a threat when his team is behind. To counter this, pay attention to his positioning and react accordingly by sending someone to prevent him from doing so, or capitalize on his absence by securing team fights or objectives.

Single target crowd control (CC) is effective against Jax. During team fights, if he's subjected to multiple CC attacks in succession, he will be eliminated before making a significant impact.

Jax often relies on his Counter Strike (E) for mitigation against AoE abilities in team fights, and as a solid initiation tool. Watch for its usage and strike when it's on cooldown or out of range.

Maintaining the minion wave closer to your side of the map can pressure Jax, especially during the laning phase. If he's constantly pushing, he will find the laning phase challenging to survive.

If Jax starts to get ahead and becomes dangerous, a proper strategy would be to group up, focus on objectives and avoid 1v1 encounters with him, as he excels in duels thanks to his scaling.
