Jax Counters

So who actually counters Jax now? I mean besides Olaf.... cause Olaf....

Pantheon used to, doesn't anymore, Jax just jumps him and wails away and the poor Spartan was no way of actually avoiding it if Jax simply waits to stun until Panth stuns since he WILL have to. Garen was a great counter, but now as soon as Jax gets a Rageblade, which does not take long AT ALL, he'll just sit in Garen's E auto attacking, which does far more damage and sustains him. Darius is still kind of a counter, but once Jax gets his Rageblade Darius can't straight up fight him and then about 3 items in Darius can fight him again cause he can have itemized against both magic and physical damage cause fucking Jax.

It's like all of his counters only actually counter him pre-6/pre-Rageblade and then he can 1v1 almost anything in the entire game, so just have a jungler come up and at least delay his opponents aggressions and he's basically gonna be perfectly fine. Will insta gib nearly anything that comes into his lane and insta gib any tower he's allowed to get onto.

So yeah, only reason I've beaten a Jax the past couple times is just cause I managed to get off some good roams and at least traded a tower for my own and had someone go save the second one cause he would have demolished it in seconds as well. But that just seems fucking stupid, the only way to truly beat him in lane as 99% of his counters is to not lane against him and roam as though you weren't actually a counter.....

Any true counters aside from Olaf? Cause Olaf just kind of naturally pushes lanes cause of his Q which means constant jungler presence if they're even half decent, and I personally just don't like teamfighting with him when playing with a bunch of randoms in soloQ.

Nasus. Withering with 40 percent CDR makes Jax want to uninstall.

Every single champ beats him in lane. After he gets Rageblade he tends to turn around most matchups.
