Shyvana has no CC nor any kind of high bursty damage at level 6. Jax does. Garen does not synergise with items particularly strongly either.

And yes, it's OP. Just try it. Go on any top lane against someone who's not a hard counter to Jax. Allow yourself to get denied creeps, but not experience. Put 1 point in counter-strike, and alternate between empower and leap strike. Now wait for level 6, recall to buy whatever you can and commit to a fight, empower->leap strike->ult+counter-strike their abilities->keep AAing and using your spells when you can. I guarantee you will win the duel.
