As I saw elsewhere (Trundle wiki page by LewdPrune):

"Still, I hope I never see Jax nerfs. In spite of how annoying a good Jax player is, it fits PERFECTLY with his lore. He should be a monster, he should be a terror, and his ban rate should be 70% of all ranked games. He deserves that kind of respect. A Jax should not be let through lightly."

I agree with this idea here. His kit is built for him to be terrifying. He's meant to be a nuisance. You may shut him down, but his power spike at 6 is enough that no matter how much he's shut down he can overwhelm most champions. You will most likely need help from the jungler, or you need to push the wave and roam. The least amount of kills Jax gets, the better.

If you have trouble fighting Jax, try using Malphite. Malphite is one of the easier counters to play against Jax. Max his E and Jax's passive goes bye bye. Get Frozen Heart, Randiuns, Iceborn Gauntlet, or Sunfire and watch him squirm. If he tries engaging, just E him after stunned and Q him. W if he's stupid enough to stick around. If he plays safe (and once you've gathered a few items) then Q him, and E as soon as your in range.

The other two counters can be Jayce and Nasus.

A good Jayce can just knock him back when he leaps in and continue his ranged harass.

An average Nasus with 6 items will lose unless his farm is high enough. If Nasus doesn't have 600 farm by 40 minutes, he will lose. He needs his Q damage if he builds primarily tank. If he doesn't build primarily tanky, he won't fair too well anyway. However that being said, his W does a number on Jax's passive and his E helps shred any armor he may have gotten from his ult (at max 40 shredded off). All the while, Nasus is standing on top of him pounding Q's on him, ult cooldown or not. Also, most got Nasus players run Ghost and have Randiuns (atleast I'd hope so). I also run Iceborn Gauntlet, so Jax won't get away from me. Wither is up after 6 seconds of it wearing off. If Jax has Tenacity (which I hope he would vs Nasus) Make that about 8 seconds (meaning it lasts 3 seconds vs 5 seconds). However it Nasus has decent CDR (roughly 35~40%. I have 38% from Spirit Visage, Iceborn Gauntlet, and masteries. Though 40% is easily gained with Frozen Heart) will have a 6 second cooldown, with the duration lasting 3-5 seconds. That would make it INCREDIBLY favorable for Nasus.
