I've been playing Jax for a week now and I always have a terrible early game. My overall weakness is pokes from the enemy team because I can't do anything about that. Even when I'm turret hugging, the enemy team tries to kill me.
I always lose my farm because of this because all my attacks are melee and if I charge straight up to the minions, the other team kills me. Either that or the turret steals my kills.
What should I do early-game? Everyone literally counters me.
Well it depends on your play style. If you're getting countered alot then you need more practice to get used to the champion and also figure out your lane oppenents champion. It's hard to counter champions you don't know at all. Also most top laners are pretty much meele so everyone should also be in your position where you don't know whether you should farm near the enemy. In most cases, in higher elos, they just farm creeps even though it's literally next to the enemy and they won't bother attacking because early game poking isn't that very strong until you hit 3 or 6 so they won't bother wasting time attacking you. But usually if you're a Jax you should just poke your enemys by the time you hit 3. Pop your E then Q if their out of range. Then your w and keep auto attacking. This combo is extremely easy to pull off and drops their health pretty nicely aswell. If you're afraid that your going to get poked down hard you can get a cloth armour or even a flask for even better sustain.
actually, learn E first. And when they engage on you, or if they hit u, directly turn the E on and hit them with your basic attack. They will either backoff or engage. If they run away, keep scaring them, but dont engage again until your E comesback. IF they engage, because of the passive, your attack speed will amplify everytime u hit. stick right to them so they can't see their health bar. Keep engaging, and if ur health goes half or lower due to their poking, drink your health potion. ALWAYS HALF, no less than that. The only champion you should avoid is Rumble and Renekton in top. The Combo for Jax in pregame is QE first with W on, and if they engage, give them a ignite and hit them with your passive. And for more aggressive playing, stack up your passive first before diving on them. That way, u can hit them more and deal more damage. And if there is one tip i can give you, Jax is a combo champ, not a poking champ. Once u go in, u never backoff unless their jungler came. For escaping, Q on your minions
dont die
