Jax has SOOOO much counterplay!

Said no one ever. He just puts up his 'e' and basically becomes invincible, and then when it ends he gets to cc your entire team. Riot must've been smoking some really strong sh*t when they created his kit. More loaded than Yasuo and Lee Sin combined.

But hey, he's the perfect champ for noobs I guess, cuz literally all you have to do is 'e' and auto attack everything to death. So much depth to this champ!

He can still be hit by everything except auto attacks. Any magic damage goes right through and even AD spells. Just not autoattacks.

If your entire team got caught by a jax stun, damn that is impressive from him. Its fairly small and requires him to not get displaced and have everyone standing in nearly the same place.

The counterplay is mobility spells, and to have your AP threats burst him. Or, you could abuse his bad early game and snowball the lead.

You left out how he takes reduced aoe damage. Yea good luck bursting him with your AOE when he does counter strike lol.

It doesn't have to be AOE spells that take him down. Single target works just as well. Or have someone CC or knock him away so he doesn't stun you, which also has the additonal benefit of him being outside AA range. Jax has zero way to hurt you outside of auto range. Poke him down and don't take a straight up fight.

So a champ even more cancerous than Jax counters him. Good to know. Doesn't change the fact that his 'e' is an unhealthy ability.

No no, look, here's the entire list of what counters Jax, from my experience when I played him.

Ahri Fizz Rumble Malphite Teemo Veigar Nasus Syndra Poppy Cassiopeia Akali

The E doesn't have a big radius, if you clump togetherAmumu Malphite Zac Sejuani Leona NautilusVeigar Orianna Chogath Kennen can make your team regret it more than Jax.

More loaded than Yasuo and Lee Sin combined.

How exactly?

Your complain is just typically his E and that's it. Lee Sin in the meantime has access to 7 different abilities, while Yasuo is a little more overloaded than Jax due to him having two passives in his kit.

Yeah and Jax is easily shut down by item 3075 + item 3139, his stun won't hold, and you backlash him for even hitting you.

And the fact that Jax does not have %HP damage or Bonus Armor Penetration in his kit.

You can't dodge any of his abilities though.

So? You can't dodge Akali Trundle or Annie abilities (or at least almost never able to)

Same goes for Yi, but you have 0 complains about that.

You can definitely dodge the E with any kind of movement ability or baiting it out then running out of range of his leap.
