Guide to Countering Jax as Morgana

Tips for Playing as Morgana against Jax

Tormented Shadow is an excellent farming tool if you're by yourself in a lane.

Shrewd use of Black Shield can determine the outcome of team fights.

Items that provide survivability allow Morgana to become extremely difficult to kill in conjunction with Black Shield and Soul Shackles.

Advice to Win Against Jax

Try to engage him in short bursts instead of going toe-to-toe with him. Preventing him from attacking consecutively drastically lowers his damage output.

Jax can dodge all incoming attacks for a very short amount of time and stuns enemies in melee range when it ends. Wait to strike him until after his dodge is finished.
