Just don't fight him when he's got E up lol.

Alternatively play a champion that doesn't rely on autoattacks. It's only after lane phase when he gets 2 or 3 items is when he's actually a problem.

I don't understand the "don't fight him when he's got E up" thing people always say. Jax players don't fight early levels without E--if it's not up, they stay back--and later his E just becomes a 'better with it, doesn't matter without it' type of thing because he smashes you in 2 or 3 shots.

If he's sitting back and not fighting you, freeze the wave outside your tower and zone him from xp/gold. The longer it takes him to get items, the more time you have to win the game before he becomes unstoppable.

Even in the late game, a well-peeled ADC can deal with Jax no problem. You just have to play against him like you would any other assassin: get good vision down so he can't flank you, turn on him as soon as he jumps in, and cc him while his E is up so the stun doesn't hit anyone.

He's still farming--not sitting under tower like a rock... and Jax isn't a bloody minion even pre-6 levels. He can hold his own against most champions and if the going gets rough, he just Qs out.

Late game is when it's worse. I'm not even joking when I say that guy can pull off a 1V5--he's basically Irelia. A tanky, extremely mobile, slippery champion that can ignore autos for a few seconds and dash you to pieces in the meantime. If everyone starts attacking Jax, he's still doing his job because the focus comes off his team's carries and then it's either him or them that win the fight. He's too big, too safe, too strong--I don't know why you are defending him.
