Tips Against Jax in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

rippytide09 says “Whenever he jumps on you, use your W and Q and walk away. Try to avoid extended combat, but you are able to beat him in short trades. Do note that if he has 8 stacks on his passive, which grants him attack speed, it's best to wait a little bit before engaging. This is a free lane to scale, but don't get too cocky since if he snowballs, the lane goes from minor to major difficulty.”
Sekirooo says “♡ Lamp this champ is straight torture it's mostly a jax favored but to know how to deal with him is knowing when to use your abilites don't waste your W on his E there is a way to stop his E is if you use your E then get out out of it range so he waste it then you can go for a short trade or go all in”

claubertonious says “you absolutely destroy jax in lane, if he jumps on you then you can use w or e to just take no damage and win, you can W (NOT EMPOWERED) his E to stun him and make sure he doesn't get his stun off. Once he gets trinity force don't disrespect him though because he will kill you insanely fast if you make a mistake.”

doomfallover says “Jax E stops auto attacks but your main dmg is your E so you pretty much win against him use W when he jumps on you with E”

Igorbolinha Guides says “One of the easiest lanes you will get, You mitigate 90% of his E+R damage by pressing W, you can ignore his E by just pressing your E and if you catch him by surprise he has no way of outrunning you alone.”

POCHOSAURUS12 says “Jax is good early levels but become easier to kill lvl 6, trade to take small trades to make him low hp or at least 50% hp, 100% hp all ins are not really that good. Use your W for his E stun, and save your Q to disengage after you use you E Dont autoattack when he has E active because that give more damage to his ability. Trying to kite him is a good way to play this matchup use your E when he is in his e and go away with Q or stridebreaker after you use your E damage.”

Glenn Silver says “This is basically the definition of a skill matchup, you win lane slightly, but he outscales. Harder in low elo, but manageable in high elo. If he engages with Q + E, use E to deny his counter strike end reengage with the slow.”
The ultimate Darius guide by Glenn Silver | Darius Player
TheMild1 says “Play around his stun. Use your Q and E to kite away from him while he is using it. Winning versus Jax will depend on if he can all in you, or if you can slowly poke him down.”

Dragonlord1022 says “Fleet Footwork Bone Plating D Blade → Swifties → Tri Force - Fighting for prio early is very important in this lane. If Jax has shove you will lose trades, if you have shove you can look for poke. Play disciplined and you will most likely win. - Be mindful of Jax passive and Jax Q - Jax's Q cd is lower than your E - Level 1 you can win prio no matter what Jax has - Don't face check any of the bushes before wave - Walk with first wave - If Jax jumps on you, you'll win with Bone Plating and wave - Be ready to ward first bush if he jumps on you then tried to drop minion aggro in it quickly - After 6, be mindful of Jax R passive 3rd attack, he may try to initiate fights by jumping on you with it”

MiniBlue says “Careful with his great duel gamestyle, take the advantage on team fights and hostigate Jax.”
giloocore says “Not that hard of a match up but can be pretty anoying. You have to stun him while he is casting his e and try to one shoot him before he even has time to cast his ultimate. He outscales u.”

Nakersen says “Playing against jax is tricky, mostly if you dodge his E you can win, but if he uses it wisely you are most likely going to lose”

L0ganJG says “Jax can be very tough if they are GOOD. But 99% of them are not good vs Briar. If he uses E > Q onto you, Buffer your E immediately. Put him into the wall then damage check him with WQ. If you're late with the E or he has flash he will just dodge it and beat you. Times like this look to ward hop or W over a big wall / flash away then reset the situation. Ulting him after his E is a free win”
Amothertruckingunicorn says “This is for top jax, your e is very consistent into him. I would say jungle jax is much harder from jungle pet move speed so would be major if it was picked more often.”

heybeyoo says “Jax is countering rengar but you can outplay him and it works almost all the time. 1. Get 4 stacks before ulting. 2. Ult him and jump when he is close to bush you can reach. 3. While jumping use Empowered E and run to bush (Congratz he used his E and he is completely unarmed) 4. When you back to bush jump again and use empowered E again (He will be surprised and he wants to run away with ward + Q but you gonna block that) and thats how u win 1v1s with jax. ”

Hazardist says “[[jax]] outscales you and does better inside the [[realm of death]] than he would in an open fight. So unless you're clearly ahead, don't prioritize ulting him over his carries, especially if you're being outnumbered.”
MiniBlue says “Careful with his great duel gamestyle, take the advantage on team fights and hostigate Jax.”
