The best way to counter Jax is to avoid attacking when he uses Counter Strike (E). He is weak before he reaches level 6 so try to beat him during the early stages of laning. Jax’s ultimate and passive ability allows him to get the upper hand in long trades. The safest route is to do short trades (poke and retreat).
Does Jax Counter Garen?
Garen is able to counter Jax in lane because of his ability to punish Jax every time he leap strikes (Q). Garen wins the early and mid-game phase. Jax’s Counter Strike (E) is useless against Garen. The majority of Garen’s damage comes from his abilities, which Jax can’t dodge.
Does Jax Counter Riven?
Jax does not counter Riven. Riven is a good counter to Jax. Once Riven avoids his Counter Strike (E) she can play aggressive. As Riven, you cannot allow Jax to dodge her auto attacks which procs her passive procs. Jax struggles against Riven’s early game, but if he can lane till level 6 without giving her a kill, he can beat her.
