Track: Jax's E — Counter Strike (17–9s cooldown). Dodges autos + stuns. Keep moving.
Read from Singed's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Jax.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Singed | Jax has no stun at level 1 — immediately proxy his wave under his tower before he can establish lane presence. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Counter Strike is baitable, and Mega Adhesive grounds — in the glue Leap Strike will not cast, so the chase ends where you choose. |
| Level 3 | Jax | Counter Strike stuns you mid-Fling and negates your chase pattern; Jax wins any trade where you plant your feet at level 3. |
| Levels 4-5 | Jax | Jax's damage scaling and short Counter Strike cooldown dominate direct duels through levels 4 and 5 — proxy and ghost rather than fight. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Insanity Potion's MR blunts Grandmaster-at-Arms, whose armour is an active on a 110s cooldown — neither of you kills the other without a big mistake. |
| First item | Even / skill | Rylai's slow is not yet online but neither is his full item power — both sides are spiking simultaneously and the lane is decided by who makes the first positional error. |
| Two+ items | Singed | Rylai's plus Liandry's rot him through the armour Grandmaster-at-Arms grants on cast, faster than he can burst you before your team collapses on him. |
At level 1 Jax has no stun and his Q-leap alone is not enough to trade cleanly, so immediately go under his tower or behind his wave and start poisoning his minions — proxy this wave before he can establish any presence. Once he puts a point in Counter Strike (17s at rank 1), which is the entire danger of this lane: it dodges basic attacks but not Poison Trail — the stun is the threat, so the moment you see him start its animation, break off the chase and kite away. At level 3 your full kit is live but his Counter Strike stun wins any trade where you stand still — keep running and use Mega Adhesive to root him if he overextends chasing you, then re-engage only after the stun window expires.
