Any tips against a jax? I mainly play Darius, Renekton, and Garen.

I just feel that jax counters darius really well and can't find a way to kill/trade with him successfully.

Jax main here-

A good Jax is going to save his E when you use apprehend, and will Q in on you after you decimate. You’ll need to play around his counter strike if he misuses it.

I’d suggest back away from trading and focus on farming. Focus on landing your decimates to build bleed stacks. Jax can’t dodge bleeds. Do not use apprehend until you know his E is down, and if you do pull him in, remember he can just Q away from you afterwards.

Build ninja tabis asap to reduce his AA by 12% and ping for ganks. It’s gonna be rough and Jax doesn’t use lube. Get a giants mallet to catch up Jax if a trade goes in your favor and he tries to disengage.

When you hit 6, you’ll have the advantage if you can catch him and build your 5 stack bleed before he shreds you to grey scale.

All in after he use his e. Try to use heavy cc for blocking his q

Bait out the counterstrike and, if for whatever reason he uses it needlessly, make an all in then as its his primary mode of trading.

Just auto - W - auto him and get him to use counterstrike, then back off while he's snared.

When he Q's to you apprehend him, the animation and snare due to the animation actually lets you casually walk out of melee range. If he used counterstrike stun after his Q, well, Q him back and enjoy your trade win.

Matchup is only hard if you try and lead with Q or E.

For Garen, level spin for this matchup. Since he's counting on counterstrike value to win his trades, load more damage into the skills he can't avoid. W his counterstrike stun, time it well and you'll get a huge trade win.

Those three are probably the best 3 champs for denying Jax early, as he doesn't spike until he completes Trinity Force. Generally you want to avoid using champs that do most of their damage through auto-attacks.
