Jax is not broken. He can be beaten very easily. Here's how.

Just played Jax into Teemo and discovered that Teemo completely shuts down Jax. He can't kill him, he can't even farm. If you think Jax is broken, just lock in Teemo and proceed to auto-win the lane. You can thank me later.

You guys will defend your cancer to the death won't you. Sorry Jax is broken and has no counterplay. If Jax can time his jump+stun combo properly there's no counterplay to it. When you play against Jax it's pretty much up to him to mess up. You can't actually outplay him since none of his abilities are skillshots. As long as he actually uses his abilities correctly he wins 1 v 1 in most matchups.

-watches jax go ap vs ap teemos and ad vs grasp teemos and get fed-

Jax is strong, but not immortal you are right. However, trying to say "oh yeah this person always wins vs this champ" makes people choose that champ and then lose hard.

umm

no dude, teemo just pisses jax off for like 6 minutes after minions spawn, and then he stuns teemo and kills him

No, it's the same situation as Teemo v. Nasus. Teemo bullies him until a certain point, after which Nasus will outscale him or out-splitpush his entire team.

Edit: Also doesn't solve the problem of Jax scaling very well. One item or some decent farm is all it takes to make him a monster of a splitpusher.

I can beat Jax pretty easily with Akali. Well, all the ones I faced I never had issues with him. I just have to wait out that stun is all.

I'm a Jax main since S2, and since S3 I have been in plat/diamond.

Teemo is one of the strongest counters to Jax. A good teemo will always have mushrooms on his way back to tower so if he does get jumped on, his shrooms will open the gap. Couple this with his blind and Jax has no real damage. Denying Jax farm is the biggest counter to Jax.

When I'm top lane, if someone has the sheer audacity to pick Jax, I take Teemo. I very rarely lose the matchup.

HOWEVER, there are ways for Jax to win. item 2033 item 1054 > item 3211 is usually enough to allow him to farm through early levels. Another way is simply item 3148 rush, this sustains through teemo's poke and gives him a way to kill Teemo too, as the active is a good slow and chunks a good portion of teemo's damage.

In Short - Jax is strong now mainly because of Conqueror and titanic. There are still lots of ways to shut Jax down, it's just harder than it has been for the past few seasons.

All of them are good picks into Jax.

So you want me to play one of the champion who has close to no teamfight presence since Teemo can be bursted & CC down easily, just to annoy a Jax?

Jeez...
