How to play it

✓

Dodge his E stun

The whole lane runs on his E (Counter Strike) cooldown: dodge the stun with Q when you can, and drop W to blunt the burst when you can't.

✓

Trade when E is down

He's only killable once his E is on cooldown: bait it out, force the all-in, then W his stun to swing the trade your way.

✓

Never auto under E

Don't auto-attack him while his E is up: every hit you land just charges a bigger stun.

✕

Never sit in a long 1v1 with a fed Jax: he hard-outscales you; play for teamfights, where you stay far more relevant.
