Play Quinn or Vayne in top to beat him in lane. Quinn can cancel Jax's Leap Strike on cooldown with her dash, which also slows, as long as you practice timings. Vayne can do the same and easily turn the fight with her E. Gnar is a good counter as he can harrass from range in lane and then out team fight him late game with Mega Gnar. Extreme lane bullies (Pantheon, Kennen, Malphite Etc.) are able to push him out of lane and have constant kill pressure on him throughout lane phase, this will massively delay the TriForce power spike. Jayce can out trade him at any point in lane and through all of mid game, before falling off in the late. Heimer is able to force a Jax away from a minion wave and set up a perma freeze for most of the lane, this leaves him open to ganks and lets you free farm while he has to expose himself just to cs. And certain mages (Lissandra and Viktor specifically) are able to completely dominate a Jax in pretty much every aspect of the game. And, of course, the coup de grace to Jax... Just become a RIven one-trick... or you know, ban him every game. If that isn't what you wanted to hear then here are some tips:

1. Don't pick skill matchups as Jax is easier to get to high levels than most bruisers a skill matchup would be slightly in his favour. (Unless you are a Riven one-trick)

2. Avoid 'flashy' multi-dash 'outplay' champs (Irelia, Yasuo Etc.) as Jax is very good at punishing that kind of thing (Unless you are a Riven one-trick)

3. Avoid Juggernauts (Illaoi, Yorick Etc.) as they may beat Jax in lane but he out scales them and they aren't as good at teamfighting as most tanks so they would lose in that aspect too.

All in all, Jax is easy to learn but if you want to target a champ that is easy to learn and even more difficult to shut down. Then please remember Riven exists. Riven one-tricks have, after all, never failed to reach challenger no matter the meta.
