Jax excels at 1v1s involving auto attacking champions.
Akali
Skill matchup. But be ready for Akali's burst.
Camille
Wait for her to engage on you before fighting, since she can escape if you initiate.
Darius
Darius is very hard to play against. Do not feed him an early kill or else you will not be able to farm ever.
Dr. Mundo
Jax, as always, beats him early. However, it might take some difficulty later on because of Mundo's kit.
Fiora
Skill matchup. Try baiting out her parry and make sure to dodge her crit.
Galio
Galio may be able to stall long enough for his jungler to come.
Gangplank
If you get an early lead on Gangplank, you will be able to destroy him. However, if he gets an early lead, it will be difficult to come back.
Garen
His Q is dodgeable and save your stun for when his Q and E run out.
Gnar
You can be easily pushed out of lane with his ranged autos and you will not be able to reliably stun him without him stunning you.
Heimerdinger
Try to CS as much as possible and do not fight him without another team mate around.
Illaoi
Skill matchup.
Irelia
You will be able to out damage her in all stages of the game. Just don't get baited into diving and getting stunned under turret.
Jayce
Only fight during his cooldowns.
Kayle
Skill matchup more favored towards Jax.
Kennen
Same as Gnar.
Kled
Skill matchup more favored towards Kled.
Malphite
Early game you will be able to out trade him when played well enough. However, because of Sunfire Cape and his E ruining your attack speed, Malphite will always be a hard counter to Jax.
Mordekaiser
Long cooldowns and dodge his empowered autos.
Nasus
Same as Malphite except he will be a bit easier to face. You cannot dodge Nasus' Q's.
Pantheon
Same as Kennen and Gnar but with Pantheon's Q's. However it is simpler to face him.
Poppy
Same as Galio.
Quinn
Skill matchup.
Renekton
Skill matchup. Dodge his fury empowered W and you will be fine.
Riven
Riven, personally, is a very easy matchup. Your E gives damage reduction will prevent her from doing much damage. Your Fervor of Battle stacks give you bonus Attack Damage, so you will be able to trade and harass her better. Watch your mana pool though.
Rumble
Matter of who does more damage faster.
Shen
Deadeven skill matchup. If he has Sunfire and Tiamat it'll be a slightly harder matchup.
Singed
Don't ever chase.
Sion
Dodge his Ult.
Swain
Engage on his cooldowns.
Trundle
Skill.
Tryndamere
You will be able to beat him early game, however he outscales you due to crit. My advice is to only hold your E if you are about to die against him, or when you hear him ult.
Urgot
Long trades with Urgot is not a good idea.
Wukong
Try to trap him into fighting long trades.
Yasuo
Jax has an easier time vs Yasuo but don't underestimate him.
