Personally I'd just straight up avoid picking Jax into a Nunu or Malphite. You're very dependent on your attack speed to do damage and they can just neuter your damage output to nil. At least when you play a ranged AD you can kite them. With Jax you're right in their faces so it's ridiculously easy for them to shut down your dps.

Having an argument with a friend over who wins the Olaf v Jax match up.

From my PoV, you play defensively until at least level 3. Then, once he reckless swings, surely with aa's w, q and e you will actually out-trade the reckless swing damage?

Just wondering if someone with a lot of experience playing that matchup can explain more eloquently than I can, how Jax beats an Olaf.

Its probably not his reckless swings that kill you its the as bonus he gets from being low and the sustain he gets from his w. his q damage is probably pretty wicked as well.

Double tap minions in lane and then jump wand then wait until hes low until you start your counterstrike before either running away or finishing him off.

jax > olaf

better lategame than olaf
better/easier escape from ganks than olaf
wins trades post 6, easy to farm pre-6

olaf can land Q but the slow is insignificant since you are okay with trading blows. his reckless swing does damage to himself which is good for your all-in. his additional AS when low is partly mitigated by your ability to dodge / disengage in unfavourable situations. overall i'd say jax has a lot more control over how he wants the lane to play out

All things held equal, Jax will beat olaf in lane eventually(just a byproduct of jax outscaling, and being able to disengage in bad situations far more easily than olaf). However because both sides can snowball ridiculously hard in lane, jungle pressure is probably going to decide the matchup far more than individual skill. If Olaf gets ahead enough he's going to zone jax, and vice versa. Happens because both are melee's with very punishing burst against people who are behind.

Its kind of matchup dependent IMO but the main items you're looking for on Jax are Trinity Force and Hextech Gunblade.

Generally want want the core of triforce+Gunbade+GA but in 3s because of the itemization that happens, you may need to get a hexdrinker if they have double AP, wriggles if you need to farm the jungle to stay relevant, early chainvest if there's triple AD on the other team etc.

Jax wins against Nunu, I feel. It's not the most terrible lane.... at least not as bad as Jayce or Malphite.

It’s very much a toss up in my experience. If Jax manages his R passive well for burst and saves his stun, he can win trades very easily. But if you use your stun when Nunu has a minion nearby post 6, he’ll just consume -> ult and crush you. Jax can win trades with R passive + Empowered Leap Strike harass, especially once he has a Vamp, but if he just lets Nunu spam Ice Blast, he’s screwed. It’s kind of a “push him out before he pushes you out” situation.

However, in the event of a farm lane situation, Jax should be more useful unless Nunu has a Vayne or Kog to peel/BB for.

Jax beats Nunu in a 1v1 lane if he gets some early sustain -- I'd be tempted to go gunblade instead of triforce vs nunu -- but nunu combined with jungle ganks feels scarier to me than jax with ganks (if the gank comes just after you do an offensive leapstrike you're probably dead to double blood boil + slows). nm, ask for early ganks I guess

I don't have that much TT experience, but to add to this, remember that teamfights for dragon/liz control in TT can happen pretty early and at low gold amounts, so mid-game items can be put to use immediately. If your teammates are low on damage early on, but high on utility (e.g. Alistar, Blitz, Singed) strongly consider rageblade, as it has the best gold-DPS ratio out of all Jax items.
Since the components of GB/Triforce are all midgame items as well, just pay more attention to the order you get them in and when you get into teamfights. For instance, you'd want phage + cutlass over phage+vamp+sheen if you know a fight's coming up, even if it delays completing your first T3 item.

How does Jax handle a lane bully who doesn't rely on autoattacks and wrecks his AS? I don't see how Jax is able to even CS properly before level 6 while eating snowballs and having to blow QW just to respond. Stun isn't a response to a single snowball because you take two more for free while your stun is on cooldown. Nunu crushes Jax for exactly the same reasons Malphite does, while sustaining harder than Malph.

nunu definitely crushes jax. jax is an AS champ and nunu is an anti-AS champ. and he can't keep up with nunu's sustain

i think jax can beat rengar. i had some luck going armor red/yellow, hp/5 quint, mr blue. came to lane with about 48/50 armor/mr with real good regen. since rengar doesn't really have a stun, you just have to be a man and fight back when he fights you. eventually you wear him down and EQWignite for the kill. felt like a pretty solid lane.

Ive beaten an AP rengar with Jax, the great thing about that matchup is that W is an aoe so that counterstrike blocks 25% of it. Definitely scary to see him take a chunk of your HP and get a big heal all at once tho. AD rengar seems more straightforward, I think i'd go 9/21/0 and ninja tabi since afaik the 10% damage reduction applies to rengar Q. Even if enemy team has a lot of CC it's probably still worth getting the tabi for laning phase (and selling em later).

Also regarding nunu top, I'll accept anything smashgizmo says over my own experience -- I doubt any of my previous opponents built/played nunu as well as he does tho.

...ok, but I'm saying if nunu's playing the lane well without getting camped, he wins very easily.

I'm not very good.

But. I play a lot of Jax. When I'm against Darius I play it just like Riven. Play super safe until I've got a Lantern and/or Tabi and then dunk on him. Trading with Darius is all about smart use of your E. If you keep your passive charged, you can out trade him.
