In one of the matches I just played I was booty blasted by a Jax. I was playing Garen and do what I normally do. I rush tabi and build a bramble. He had conqueror so the bramble should have helped me win trades but we was 100-0'ing me. I maxed e so that I could maintain the fight while I couldn't auto attack him. It got to the point where I couldn't even farm because he would just 100-0 me with one stun. I was rushing armor. I am at a lose of what do.
Deliberate Inter1 votesJax is 2/3rds magic damage, half and half if he goes trinity
Deliberate Inter1 votesBtw, just practice trading in lane, a really good garen can give jax some problems but if you don't play it well, and give him a free hand, jax becomes annoying, especially if he's much better than you. Jax is known for being a "Weak" laner, and having some exploitable problems (that good players can try to cope with or solve) but that goes out the window when he gets to play bumper cars and come out on top
Hilsun1 votesYeah, as has already been stated, Jax does a lot of magic damage so going straight armor isn't going to save you. Better to build HP and rely on Garen's W passive and active effects for reduction.
For that matchup specifically, you need to choose your moments to trade: NEVER trade when Jax has his Counter Strike available. Bait it out, then go on. If Jax doesn't avoid damage from your auto's + q using Counter Strike, he will likely lose trades, especially if you fight after you've built up a large minion wave on your side.
Hope that helps!
ContDeCaterinca11 votesIf he forced trades in your minion wave and you lost, it smells fishy.
You probably took a bad trade, fell behind and got killed again and again(since he outscales you).
Something I have learned about Garen by playing him or facing him, his Q dictates trades. Someone is silenced, they can't fight back(unless they are right click champions).
Garen beats Olaf, Yasuo or Darius, some of the champions that outdamage him with smart trades, if you go brainlessly all-in with Q-E you lose.
Baron Von Garen1 votesGaren does not beat a Darius that can utilize at least 5% of his brainpower.
He just doesn't
Olaf is kinda iffy along with yasuo, but Garen should never beat a Darius in a 1v1 scenario
And the silence is 1.5 seconds, most people can use their abilities by the time Garen reaches them, and can easily counter the trade by just waiting the 1.5 seconds before using the rest of their abilities.
Garen's level 1 is pretty good, but 2-10 is just bleh
PlsBuffMyMain1 votesGaren wins that matchup, you should be looking to Q off cooldown, it has a shorter cooldown than Jax's E, also his E doesn't block your E damage (only reduces it), you have more sustain and more damage early.
strelizia jax1 votes"garen wins that matchup"
nah ur just completely wrong
