Aatrox is extremely difficult to kill. Also bursty in a strange way, but also insane amounts of sustain. He literally doesnt die.
Ahri
You can't engage on her without getting charmed for a billion years, and you just get true-damaged to death.
Akali
Busted champ, and she can even zone you. You cant farm by walking up with E either, since she can just spam Q at you. Not good. At level 6, she STILL out-damages you, so she gets the kill. Just dont engage on her, and wait for your jungle.
Anivia
Doesnt deal much damage, but it stacks up VERY fast. DONT ENGAGE! EVER! Just have an assassin deal with her.
Annie
Won't kill you very easily, but also difficult to kill because...you know, stuns.
Ashe
Its very hard for her to kill you, since she is an auto-attack based ADC, but she can be fairly difficult to kill due to massive slows.
Aurelion Sol
Unless you can stay out of range of every single start constantly, you will die 100% of the time. You need to wait for someone else to engage.
Azir
This is an odd matchup. If ganking Azir, you win. If LANING against him, its a little more tough.
Bard
Obnoxious roams, which is his job. Just obnoxious. Cant outplay him, and likely you cant kill him either. Not much to do about it.
Blitzcrank
YOINK!
Brand
Massive burst, and strong cc. Not easy to deal with, for both ganking and laneing.
Caitlyn
Can E out of yours, after Leapstrike. Kind of a mess...
Camille
She literally cant kill you before you kill her. BOTH jungle and lane are won.
Cassiopeia
Decent range, and massive DPS. Consider not trading with her.
Cho'Gath
Gets REALLY tanky, REALLY fast, and has HUGE cc (slows and a massive knockup) oh well :l
Corki
Has lots of poke, but still fairly auto-attack oriented.
Darius
Its a bit of a skill matchup. His ult and passive counters your ult however....
Diana
Can easily shield your entire frontal burst. Oofers.
Dr. Mundo
You simply cant kill him once he gets 6.
Draven
Can E you off of him after your Q, then proceed to delete your health.
Ekko
He can heal back almost all of his health, while taking out most of yours.
Elise
Her burst is strong, but if you ult before she can finish it you will survive and do Jax things. Yea.
Evelynn
Once she gets 6, its really hard to kill her. Her burst is too strong. However, without her ult, you kill her.
Ezreal
Cant kill him, but he cant kill you. Oh well.
Fiddlesticks
He slurps your health bar into his. And then fears you out of stunning him. Then silences you. Then leaves.
Fiora
Massive skill matchup. If Fiora has ANY kind of lead, including skill lead, you will int to her unless you just leave top and act as a second jungler. Then you proceed to lose the game because she is taking your turrets.
Fizz
He just deals so much damage!
Galio
While he can be dangerous, he can also kill himself by taunting you. You also are stronger, and get tankier quicker.
Gangplank
He can poke you incredibly hard. And deals very hard poke. Not easy to deal with. Also crit. Ouch.
Garen
His E just deals so much damage. Try not to play Jax into this guy. Ever. Its extremely difficult.
Gnar
Similar to GP, but also really tanky and fast. And many jumps. Etc.
Gragas
His burst can be easily mitigated by your ultimate, and pre-6 his damage is quite low.
Graves
Annoying, but also easily countered with your E.
Hecarim
He may be strong, but YOU are stronger.
Heimerdinger
Its Heimerdinger. What can I say?
Illaoi
Heals loads right now, and also is Illaoi. So that sucks. You lose, gg.
Irelia
Another skill matchup, but a lot easier than Fiora, however equally dangerous.
Ivern
Bruh. Seriously? You actually WANTED to know this? Just TRY playing him! HE SUCKS!
Janna
cant kill you, but your also permastunned. Another oh well/
Jarvan IV
He doesnt deal that much damage, but is similarly tanky.
Jax
Jax is a Jax counter. Who couldve guessed? This is a matchup in 1v1s and Blind Pick only.
Jayce
He can poke you down very easily. Post-6 however you can kill him every time you have ult. Which is every minute or so. Oof.
Jhin
VERY fast boi. You cant kill him unless you stun him, which will be very hard if he has any amount of brain cell.
Jinx
Same thing as Jhin, but also gets kinda difficult to fight because of cc. Jhin's just isnt as good.
Kai'Sa
Of all the adcs, she is the most dangerous. Massive shield, a jump, 2 invisibilities, and HUGE dps.
Kalista
She the big bad.
Karma
She can lock you down, and her carry can easily delete you.
Karthus
Ow. That ult hurt. Oh wow. Did i have health?
Kassadin
Bruh. Kassadin. just...Bruh.
Katarina
You can stun her, then she dies.
Kayle
You are literally her hardest counter. lol.
Kayn
If he takes Rhaast, you will lose to him 100% of the time. If he stays as Kayn, hes an absolute idiot and should never play Kayn again.
Kennen
Its Kennen. Hard CC and very big dps. Ouch.
Kha'Zix
If you have experienced reaction time, his burst stops existing. Then hes stunned. And you kill him.
Kindred
For the same reason that you are good against adcs is why this adc is good against you. She is just designed to counter bruiser types.
Kled
NO PRISONERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRS!
Kog'Maw
Literally does nothing but autoattack. Q with ur e and he ded.
LeBlanc
Insane mobility, which easily counters your mobility, then you get broken ankles because outplayz mlg leblanc pro
Lee Sin
Hes very strong atm, and has big boi shield.
Leona
You literally cant move lol
Lissandra
She counters mobility, but also doesnt really have the damage to kill you for most of the game. Finish the round early and she wont be very useful.
Lucian
Literally so hard countered by Jax. That passive of his? Worthless compared to the strength of....COUNTERSTRIKE!
Lulu
Yup! You taste purple! God i hate this champ...
Lux
She wont be able to kill you effectively, but its also quite hard for you to kill her. So...just dw about it.
Malphite
If he goes tank you cant kill him. If he goes AP he just kills you. There really isnt a middle ground here where you can win.
So hard to kill, and such low cooldowns...good grief.
Master Yi
You are his greatest counter. Yi is literally worthless against Jax.
Miss Fortune
That ult HURTS! And she moves fast.
Mordekaiser
Destiny
Domination
Deceit
I will level 1 1v1 you and you will die because I know how to walk
Morgana
Nope. You arent allowed to move. Nope.

Neeko
She hurts so baaaaaaaaaaaaaad!

Olaf
Olaf is ANOTHER big hurt champ.
Orianna
She can poke you down literally infinitely.
Ornn
The biggest tank. You cant kill him.
Pantheon
You gotta make ur way behind him, which is a waste of ur passive.
Poppy
hurts big AND is a massive tank. wow.
Pyke
He really doesnt deal much damage to you. But you also cant really kill him very easily either.
Qiyana
She can poke, is an assassin, and also builds fairly tanky.
Quinn
Pokes and bursts you down, and you cant see.
Rakan
Hes not the greatest support, and doesnt have much to deal with you.
Rammus
You literally kill yourself. Bruh.
Rek'Sai
She hurts, but you also block her nasty autos.
Renekton
You can block the damage of the stun, but he also becomes the bigger boi. Pretty much a skill matchup,
Rengar
Same thing as Kha'Zix.
Riven
Believe it or not, you counter a lot of her damage.
Rumble
He hurts bad and has an area of denial for extremely close-range champs like Jax.
Ryze
CC, strong sustained damage, and an escape.
Sejuani
Its very hard to kill her, and for a tank she is surprisingly killy.

She can only hurt you with the boomerang, then you proceed to smack her very hard.
Skarner
Tanky and hurts surprisingly bad. And is a very fast boi.
Sona
Doesnt hurt much, and is very squishy.
Soraka
One of the most annoying supports ever.
Swain
He heals for a lot. A LOT. And has very strong cc.
Sylas
Can be just as tanky as you, has better sustain, and is overall just a better champ. Or at least used to be. Hes still dangerous tho...
Syndra
EAT BALLS! ALL OF THEM! then die. thats syndra in a nutshell.
Tahm Kench
He shields constantly. And has strong CC. And yea...
Taliyah
Can hurt you quite badly. Its kinda her job. But she also has long cooldowns.
Talon
Its Talon. Whats the big deal? Wait...whered he go? *dies*
Taric
really doesnt do much to counter you
Teemo
he counters you, and you counter him. its a weird relationship.
Thresh
Naturally hurts, and has insane cc.
Tristana
Better mobility than you, bigger damages, etc.
Trundle
Whoever gets to 6 faster wins. Then waste his ult and you win forever more.
Tryndamere
His ult lasts longer than yours and the stun. Rip.
Twisted Fate
Another two-way counter? huh.
Twitch
He hurts bad and moves fast and is slippery and is a rat and is gross and has nasty cheese...
Udyr
You win everything as long as you take PTA. Conqueror and you die.
Urgot
He gets tankier than you by nature, and hurts just as bad.
Varus
Very strong burst. Your primary counter is strong burst and kiting.

Ching. Ching. *your team starts flaming you* VAYNE IS OP DONT FIGHT HER
5v1 her then proceed to do Jax things to everyone else.
Veigar
Hahahahahahha!
Vel'Koz
He counters hard engage champs. Like Jax.

Another hard counter to engage. Just like Vel, but stronger.

His kit requires the use of autos, which is something you counter.

Annoying, but there are worse.
Xayah
Her cc too strong.
Xerath
Stun, zap, and splash. Then comet. And ur basically dead.
Xin Zhao
You counter him quite well.
Yasuo
I actually win against him every time, but for someone new to Jax hes probably a nightmare. I honestly dont know tho. Jax Mid is literally my Yasuo counter-pick.
Yorick
The maiden and his Q combined make him unkillable and very damaging.
Yuumi
literally worthless champ

Too hard to kill.

5000+ Damage Full Burst. Wow.

Hi, summoner! Welcome to Loggit's Guide to Jax. I'm Loggit, and I'm a Jax enthusiast. I've been playing him for a long time, and love playing him. He's very strong, incredibly versatile, and can be played literally anywhere. Sit back, and read.
About Jax
Jax, very simply, is a Bruiser. Bruisers are no longer viable, but Jax is not any normal kind of Bruiser--he's a health stacker. By stacking health and damage, he becomes viable because hes not actually focusing on any form of defense--he can be purely offensive. This makes him very special, and in the same category as Renekton. They can even build similarly. Jax has everything that you want to climb--mobility, survivability, damage, and carry capacity. Jax is a bruiser, duelist, split-push carry. Pretty straight-forward.
Strengths/Weaknesses
Strengths: Weaknesses:
- highly mobile - no outplay potential
- strong ganks/roams - can't dodge turret or ability damage
- high DPS - terrible wave/camp clear
- auto-attack reset -
- high survivability with R

- very strong level 6 powerspike
