You want to know the secret to beating Jax

Here it is. PLAY MALPHITE. This champ screws Jax up so much it’s not funny. I main Jax and used to main malphite so I know what I’m taking about. Take grasp of the undying and max e->w->q and go full armor. Jax will be useless all game. Your e cuts his aa speed in half and does over 400 damage if you build a lot of armor. Your ult knocks him up so your team can burst him, and your q steals his move speed so he can’t getaway. Also thornmail is a must buy on malphite so that will make Jax want to go afk. Malphite is the best counter to Jax, plus he is never banned so even more bounses

You know that Conquerer exists? Have fun with your Armor stacking against Trinity, ER, BotrK Jax (rest of Build doesn't matter).

EDIT:

. Your ult knocks him up so your team can burst him

Jax grouped. Of course it is a easy win if he is mentally handicapped.

Ok I have played against numerous jades with conquer. I think I lost one time as malphite to a Jax with conquer all the rest were wins. Your point is invalid

Yes, my point is invalid because a Bronze-Silver Jax lost to a Malphite. It was obv. the Malphite Pick which resulted in the win, not that the Jax had no clue how to play.

Surely all of these conversations are around players of equal skill?

Therefore bit of an invalid point - although it's interesting that some champions, even with simple kits, are more successful in higher ELO. For example - Jax is better as Jungler in lower elo (because he doesn't get pushed early and is allowed to scale), and better as a laner in higher elo (because the Jax players accept he is poor early game so just survive the laning before scaling).

I'm a Jax OTP - and I wouldn't even say Malphite is his biggest counter anymore. Malphite is his classic counter - and has been since like season 2. However, with conqueror now, and the free access to tenacity (the legend rune), Jax can get 20% true damage and 50% tenacity, which really brings this matchup closer than it used to be.

The inital laning goes 1 of two ways, depending on the Malphite player - he will either run a mana crystal or flask and look to Q poke (with comet). Jax needs to sustain best he can and accept he will lose early trades. But malphite will give up some tankiness to do this and will be easier to fight in the mid game. OR, malphite goes Grasp and looks to be a tank (usually starting shield), and in this situation Jax can look for early trades (trying to bait out malphites E) - but mid-game will be rough if Jax can't get a small lead or go even.

Either way, Jax has a chance now. Whereas, for example, in season 4 or 5, this was so one-sided for Malphite it wasn't even funny. It still is a good matchup for Malphite but just not as good as it used to be. These are good against Jax too:

Teemo If someone takes my Jax, I take teemo. So, so easy with teemo. Bully, harass, push under tower, pressure, deny cs and kill. Sit on shrooms so he can't jump on you and put a couple of levels into blind. Easy. Hardest counter IMO. Akali Cassiopeia Jayce Poppy Quinn Swain Nasus (Tricky one - but IF nasus gets a lead, he can absolutely destroy Jax with his stupidly buffed ult Q)

how do you beat jax as teemo (build wise?) do you go tankish or just go classic DOT ap build torment and stuff.

SexualNutsFeb 4, 20191 votes

I wouldn't go tankish outside of Liandry's to be honest - because as long as you have your T2 boots you will be able to escape Jax's all-ins as long as you have your shrooms down. He can't take your HP if he can't hit you.

First and second items - Liandry's and Nashors. You choose the order. I would put 2 levels into Q at level 4 for the bit of extra duration and then max E.

xDogMeatxFeb 4, 20191 votes

when you say tier 2 boots? you mean merc treads or swifties? then so you need unflinching or precision tree (tenacity rune)

SexualNutsFeb 4, 20191 votes

Teemo should be buying Sorcs, and against Jax I just go Aery with precision as secondary runes, nothing mad really.

item 1056 item 2061 > item 2031 > item 3020 > item 3151 > item 3115

Simples!

cool ill try it but what about the instant QW thing vs teemo its practically a insta leap double hit. thats what always gets me.

SexualNutsFeb 4, 20191 votes

Don't waste your blind. If Jax is low and you use it to poke, then back off and wait for it to come back up or Jax can all-in you (especially early levels).

That way if you see him pop his e, or if he just leaps at you, you can just blind and auto, run over a shroom. If he chases you, you kite as he is slowed. If he doesnt, you get another 1 or 2 autos as he runs away.

xDogMeatxFeb 4, 20191 votes

thats nice so pretty much his e is the point to press q on teemo. what if he ults and delays his e till a second later (due to increased resists) i had jaxes do that. when do i blind him then.

SexualNutsFeb 4, 20191 votes

Depends on the circumstances but again - don't underestimate how important your shrooms and move speed are. If you blind him when he uses E, basically all he will get is 50 damage onto you (instead of the 2 or 3 follow up autos and W/ult proc). Then you can pop move speed to run away over your shrooms and you can kite him out. If he ults, it's prob best to keep running until it wears off. He can't catch you if he goes on a shroom :)
