Years ago I was watching a streamer called LS, one time he was briefly talking about Jayce and he mentioned something like how Jayce can only do certain combos at like 0 -10 ping basically. most likely he may have been exaggerating. but now a days I still wondering exactly what he was talking about because it seems like he was referring to something so vague.

Does anyone know what he may have been referring to?

Such a huge improvement over phase rush honestly, SOOOO useful

Hello Jayce players, I’ve come to this subreddit to ask one simple question:

How/where do I even get started on learning this champ?

So, for some context and background, I’m asking this question because I’ve got a bit bored of pyke/bard and want to switch it up.

Anyways, what exactly should I focus more on? Because I’ve already started doing my research on the champion, watching some videos on his combos, how a game is played, etc etc etc.
I’ve played a few games yesterday trying to apply all the knowledge acquired from the videos and guides that I watched, did ok~ish in a couple games but I could really tell my performance was probably absolutely horrible and won just cause I am better than opponent (im leveling my alt in normals and getting paired against new players/pisslow).

TL;DR: what things should I do to get better at Jayce macro/micro

I've taken a liking to bruiser top jayce running barrier, with core build path: Trinity -> manamune -> mortal reminder -> whatever

I'm wondering am I crazy?

I find trading easy as pressing abilities after autoing in ranged form procs sheen, and jack of all trades is easily stacked, and tank stats help conqueror in staying in the fight for longer.

Im in mid-low emerald at the moment, and this has been my main style of play. Wondering on peoples thoughts? Is just straight dmg a lot better? Is there better bruiser type builds?

Well which champions do you personally find the worst to play against as Jayce in the toplane and easily ban worthy? Personally i absolutely despise playing against Mundo and Sion and i genuinely despise anything tanky especially as Jayce

Low emerald elo.

I feel like in this matchup, its so hard for me to play because GP just puts down a barrel in the wave and if i try to walk up he can just q me and since hes in the wave i cant hit q so I always lose. I also cant really q into a gp when hes sitting on his barrel.

Also I feel like his barrel range is so long, if i ever try to break the one in the wave he just puts a barrel on my head.

Help would be nice bc I heard that this matchup is pretty even.

Been playing ok and off for a long time, always jungle, it’s my comfort zone I don’t intend to change the role.

I recently discovered Jayce and I love the kit and the playstyle. I’ve got about 50 games on him now and I think I’m doing okay - but I struggle to translate my personal decent play in to winning situations for the team.

I feel like I’m very dependent on having a decent teamcomp and as soon as there is no frontline or follow up damage I can’t really do much in teamfights other than EQ from distance. Often everyone on the team sort of seems to expect me to facetank and run up front for objectives as I’m the strongest on the team.. But that just doesn’t work.

So.. If you have any tips on how to manage teamfights or how to effectively help team get ahead once Jayce is ahead.. I’m all ears. I guess it constantly feels like playing catch up even though you’re actually doing good cd wise and kda wise (compared to rest of team).

I think it’s especially hard if there’s no frontline in the team (range toplaners etc).

Any generic advise is also welcome

I know ignite is good against most assassins where you want to get early kills and snowball, but when do you take tp, against most mages or into melee champs like sylas or yasuo/yone do you take tp or ignite?

TLDR: Is there a fool-proof build or strategy against a good Yasuo?

I think I haven't laned against Yasuo mid for like several months but I decided to lock in Jayce as if I am still comfortable with the matchup. Result? I lost the lane SO HARD.

I was told that Cyclosword or Serpent's rush is good against him, so I did rush Cyclo while running Stormraider. I was imagining like, ideally, one cannon QE into hammer QE combo should proc the stormraider and I should have an easy time trading. But then I forgot that I NEED TO DO DAMAGE to proc the friggin stormraider!

One of the problems was that this Yasuo wasn't the typical 0/10 Yasuo who uses wind walls for my hammer attacks or turret shots. This guy was determined to crush me by running Exhaust, going E at level 1, and always saving wind walls for the cannon. I couldn't trade. I couldn't utilize the advice at all.

I believe there was nothing wrong with a Challenger's advice at all. I'm actually so sure that my 30 sth year old fingers just couldn't keep up with whatever I was supposed to do with the advised build. I used to get away with the trades by running Phase Rush (RIP) + Eclipse, but now because I can't do that anymore, the matchup feels way more punishing than before.

Sure, my jungle Fizz decided to run it down from level 1 till the end, but I knew that I contributed to the loss as much, since I made an already hard lane even harder by roaming and letting him level up and get turret golds.

So question is, is there any build or strategy that I can use against a good Yasuo when I am not mechanically on point? Runes? First item? Summs? Strategies?

Or is the full lethality the only way, and I just have to practice hard, rebuild my muscle memories, and git gud?

Well i bet such subject have been brought up already but im new there so, when i do rush each of the following items:

Youmuu

Voltaic

Eclipse

After the nerfs is it still playeble?
