Hey,this isn't going to be a "OMG NERF PLEASE!!!" topic. Please do not take it as one.

Hi there,i've been playing this game for two years now and i think it's safe to say that i have at the least minimal knowledge about the game. I will not say i am a good player,definetly not. But,every single time i seem to play against jax,we lose.Ofcourse,i know, "ban him!!!" That'd be easy,but there's quite a few champions that i find that easily counterjungle me whenever i'm forced on jungle,so i ban the most obnoxious ones(Shaco,lee sin,...). I am not trying to complain,i'm simply trying to get better so i can still be useful to my team when i get put jungle. I was doing really well as warwick.I got the first dragon at lvl 4,counterjungled jax at his blue and even killed him,went 4/0/0 earlygame. Jax fell behind by 2 levels and everything was going great.I took riftherald and helped push toplane,but that's where it went wrong. Jax ganked while we were pushing (i am aware that this is my mistake) and got a kill on me.When i came back in my jungle,he had took everything on both sides in the 30 seconds that i was dead.He dissapeared for a while,so i went to help push lanes and ward their jungle in an attempt to locate him. He eventually attacked me,only 15 farm ahead and going 2/1/0 he OBLITERATED me despite me having spirit visage complete and a few ad items as well as tiamat. He then continued to absolutely obliterate my entire team in two hits every single time,stunning them with seemingly no cooldown. That's where i have a few questions about jungling,please understand that i am just wanting to learn:

1.How do i counter a jax once he gets a kill or two?

2.How do i prevent counterjungling if my team is unwilling to cooperate by warding?

3.What can i do if my teammates refuse to help me when i gank a lane because they're inconfident since i just died,even if it is 2v1?Should i just attempt to farm?

Jax DESTROYS Warwick. Jesus I main WW and that match up is horrible. Not only does Jax's E dodge autos (most of ww damage) it also blocks his Q AND Ult.

Jax has a very explicit advantage over Warwick, who you were playing in your example - His E allows him to dodge all of Warwicks ult, and his Q's as well if timed right.

He needs to be locked down, and peeled off of people, or bursted down in teamfights. -Teamfights-, not skirmishes, skirmishes are where Jax is insanely strong.

As for preventing counterjungling the best thing you can do is set up vision in your jungle and hope your team will help, otherwise you need to see "Oh the enemy is on my chickens, I guess i'll go farm my wolves, or the enemys krugs", etc. It's not ideal but you to adjust.

And if your team is too scared to help a gank chances are you are forcing the gank in a situation which isn't ideal (Such as ganking a lane who is capable of 1v2'ing while ahead, such as Darius or Akali), or they are basically trolling / have given up on the game.

Pick Master Yi. Yi counters Jax. Or is it the other way around? I forget.

pick a tank. cc him in team fights. profit.

if your team has 2-3 stuns. you win. they just need to stun and exahust him. that is all. its easy as hell.

don't play any melee carry into him and you're good. some master yi's can win because they can be more reliable in team fights.
