Tips Against Jayce in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
I Am Goliath says “Jayce is pretty hard early game but the longer the game goes the easier this matchup gets, and since Urgot is ranged with a pretty safe kit (having an escape + shield) you should be able to survive, try not to trade with him very much early game and dodge his Q's the best you can. once you have Black cleaver + ninja tabis you should be able to win 1v1, you can also go Q max in this matchup if you're wanting to play more safe and just looking to poke him out of lane since you shouldn't be all inning or trading much early game.”
RivalOCE says “D shield start, try and abuse his long 'knock back' cooldown. His form change pre first base is 4-6seconds, this is a good window to abuse aswell. Jayce doesn't have an ultimate so at level 6 you can look to use your spike to kill.”
Anoying bro5 says “Jayce is a big lane bully and will punish you if you let him. Either parry his knock back or when he jumps on you. A lot of Jayce players hold their knockbacks which can be tricky. You mainly want to farm this lane so take corrupting potions or Dorans shield and wait the lane out. You outscale him.”
SaltCat says “You can win level 1, level 2 also, level 3 it becomes hard but if you use your W to block his damage its way easier, he will poke you out so take care”
Raen says “Very difficult match up for Jax, especially for not experienced players. Even if you will make Q on him he will just E you so try to jump when his E it's on CD. Get Doran shield, Tabi, ask your jungler for help. Don't try to get every minion if it will cost you getting huge poke from Jayce, 1 cs for - 50% hp - not worth. Also there is 1 thing when its not good Jayce its not that hard match up and its playable but if its good Jayce its nightmare for Jax.”
quinn adc says “Both you and Jayce are ranged ADs, but his attack range is 500 while yours is 525 so you have the advantage! I run fleet in this matchup because the sustain helps you against Jayce's poke.
The most important interaction is to save vault to counter Jayce's engage.
Jayce, after using his ranged-form combo, will swap to melee form and use his Q dash (To the Skies!) on you, and your vault actually cancels the damage and dash of this ability.
This is important because when jayce swaps to melee form, he cannot swap back for 6 seconds.
So, when he goes into melee and Q dashes onto you, if you can cancel this dash with vault, you now have a window of 6 seconds to bully jayce and combo him without him being able to retaliate.
Be careful though.
Jayce's E in melee form can cancel your vault, but it's actually quite difficult to do, and that's why I say only vault him when he Q dashes onto you so that he can't E you in time to cancel your vault.
Ideally, vault his Q ASAP so that he can't hit you with his E knock back.
Jayce's E range is 240, which is less than half of our auto attack range, so he can't do much at all if you cancel his Q.
In ranged form, stand behind minions so that he can't Q you, or more important, E-Q you through his Acceleration Gate.
Try to bait out his ranged Q by moving unpredictably through your wave and also away from minions.
Build ninja tabis in lane, and you just mitigate most of Jayce's Damage.
Also note that when Quinn completes 1-2 items, jayce is unable to 1v1 you for the rest of the game.
His ONLY edge is getting a lead in lane phase, but with tabis and 1-2 crit items, you can all-in jayce whenever you want and he simply cannot win.
I have yet to lose to jayce in lane ^-^ Incredibly easy matchup with practice.”
Phrxshn says “Fight him in a Hammer Stance, you can easily out trade him, but if in Mercury Cannon Stance(R) you will have to make short and quick trades. To trade with his Mercury Cannon Stance make sure you stay in between Jayce and his Acceleration Gate(E) to mitigate his Shock Blast(Q). Short trade against Mercury Cannon Stance and long trade against Hammer Stance. (Recommended Items: Plated Steelcaps, Rylai's Scepter, Thornmail, Deadman's Plate) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Singed, Jayce's Mercury Cannon Stance) (Outscaling Edge: Singed) (Fling overrides his To The Skies! Leap) (Fling must be cast before his Thundering blow to override it) (Mega Adhesive stops his To The Skies! Leap)”
Veng Shotz says “Jayce can poke you out from range, swap to melee, and jump+auto+knock you back before swapping to range with MS boost to walk away (even more so if they went phaserush)
your best bet is to rush tabis and try to time him when he decides to step up to trade with ranged autos, as he will be easier to land q's onto. The very moment you land one, e+q2 and back off. if you e'd to land q1 just back off. Most jayce players will immediately swap to melee form and jump to you, and during that time you w. IF they arent running phase rush they get pulled in for a q3 e if you havent already dashed or have it up again and win the trade. If they have phase rush they just walk out the w.
you can play this lane with either brambles tabi or rush damage and try to out damage eachother. Although i recommend going brambles+tabis as he will certainly cheese you with how his kit works otherwise. ”
Boptimus says “Not as hard as in previous seasons. Unless they play perfect you can usually get a Solo kill. Sion's R can cancel Jayce's Melee Q, so use that to outplay.”
Fryx says “Jayce does a ton of damage and can push you to the ground. But you are an armor tank so just relax and chill. Get Bramble Vest and Ninja Tabis and watch the tables turn. Stay in Exp Range, he will deny you last hits but relax and don't call for your jungler too much you will do it.”
SunFalk says “He deals a lot of damage. He can become ranged. He is confusing to deal with. - Play safe under tower or in minion wave, CS and poke your shield to poke him.”
RTO says “He will just poke you constantly, and his hammer is the scariest. Poke him down when you have mana items, and avoid his abilities. Kite him.”
FeedLaneGetCaryd says “If he has Phase Rush it's really hard to catch him. This lane is annoying but you outscale Jayce hard, so just don't eat to much poke. ”
SettVEVO says “Hellish lane, a lot like Gnar, takes the most unfair trades he can cause he can, will poke you down, until you're low enough or just dead. In hammer form he will Q you and E you away. You can ult while he E's to cancel it. Not really in your hands to win this lane if he plays well, but as long as you take D shield and Second wind it will all be okay. As long as he doesn't get fed he doesn't do much in teamfights, he can only poke so try to start it before he pokes your team down. Not really a good ult target unless he managed to get on top of your adc.”
PanthrickTV says “Survive Matchup!
(1) Stay defend and try to poke!
(2) Play smart and exploit his mistakes.
(3) Wait for your jungler, then you can engage and one-shot her.
(4) I recommend to go Teleport or Exhaust in this matchup (when your jungler is playing botside) when he is playing around you take ignite to more kill pressure.”
BoilTheOil says “Take Fleet footwork. Rush Plated Steelcaps. Once he gets Serrated dirk and Tear he gets annoying, play behind the wave so you don't get hit with his E+Q combo. If he uses melee E you can W and still hit him with it if you time it right before he hits you. If he melee Q's you, you can E it and interrupt it. Try to ult his Melee E so you don't get knocked up or else you probably can't kill him. Mid-game he will shove a side lane and roam/flank, so make sure you have TP ready to respond to his play.”
ForgottenProject says “Scary Matchup due to jayce being able to do TONS of burst damage while also having good poke/sustain damage.
Take Resolve page vs Jayce and just play safe till you see an opening. ”
Rhoku says “TL;DR - SKILL MATCHUP IN HIS FAVOR. DODGE HIS POKE. RUSH STEELCAPS. CONQUEROR IS BETTER FOR CLOSER FIGHTS/IF THE JAYCE IS GOOD. DONT FIGHT BEFORE LEVEL 3. TRY TO FIGHT AT LEVEL 6.
Jayce is not too strong in the meta at the moment but a great Jayce player can make him work anyway. Read the Ranged Matchup Playstyle I have written below for a good idea on how to play against all ranged champions. With Jayce, it is recommended to go for an early Steelcaps rush as that will completely gut him. Most Jayce players opt to go for Lethality early on in order to snowball too which would be negated by Tabis. Against Jayce, Conqueror is a must as you won't be building damage early.
Try to dodge his skillshot poke early on and get used to it. It does a LOT of damage, even if the Jayce is inting. Being poked down like that can lead to him just killing you in a single combo which is sometimes just sad as you watch yourself try to crawl to him and he knocks you back and puts you down with autos. His form change has a cooldown so you can try to play around him not having access to his melee form if possible.
The most important thing when fighting a Jayce is positioning. He is a VERY good trader and E->AA->W->Q Combo is just not going to cut it as he will just dash to you, knock you away, go ranged form, auto you 3 times and then fire his blast at you. And at a closer range like that you will not be able to dodge it which will just lead to you getting pushed out of lane. What you have to do is to just all in him every chance you get. Just drag the fight out. What you have to do is E and then just walk behind him or walk between him and a wall. It is no problem if he knocks you back before you can. Just try to make sure that you E or W him. Darius’ abilites are unstoppable so even if Jayce knocks you back, the slow/pull will still lock him in place which gives you time to catch up to him with ghost. If the E WORKS however, don’t use AA or anything. Just walk behind him and THEN do you combo. He will either A, Flash+knock you back for a disengage or B, knock you back behind him and start kiting you. Ghost will help you catch him at this point. You will probably be able to catch up to him regardless and kill him anyway. A Steelcaps rush helps in a situation like this as it prevents him from killing you before you catch him. If you need even more tankiness, buying and sitting on a Wardens Mail is great.
A Jayce matchup is somewhat oppressive early on but he really should stand no chance after level 6. Just try not to die to him.”
PH45 says “One of the tougher matchups for Jax. He will poke you a lot and if you engage on him he will melee form E you away. Build Steelcaps and try to bait his E. The best moment to engage on him is when he swaps back to cannon form as then he cant knock you away. Jayce's are usually pretty squishy so if he gets caught he should be relatively easy to kill.”
Drake6401 says “Probably won't see him until you get to higher levels because low elo can't play Jayce for this lives. You get a bit of an edge post 6 but staying even for that long is a challenge. Pick a sustain start because Jayce has early mana problems and it will cost him mana to poke you outside of auto attacks which don't do much damage early. Keep minions between you and him so he cannot poke with Q. From my experience, you do outscale this guy if you make it out of laning phase because he doesn't build many defensive stats and is mostly lethality. It will usually require catching him by surprise though because his Hammer form E knocks you away and his Cannon form E gives him moves speed.”
xPetu says “Recommended: Standard Runes & Teleport
Tips: Your W blocks his R-enhanced AA and his CannonW-AAs. Passive shield his Q and AA poke. Engage when he transform from Hammer to Cannon, because then he doesn't have access to Knockback-E during the trade.”
Sovereign Kitten says “Jayce has been one of the hardest counters, for quite a long time. He has range, gap close, CC, mobility and better wave control and better burst. Avoid getting into an extended fight with Jayce, keep your distance and use minions to body block his (E) > (Q) range combo. Never let him get behind you, he will CC into lane cutting off your only route for escape. Maxing your (Q) can help with poking him from a distance as you want to not get too close. Also be aware that good Jayce players will (Q) > (E) in fast succession making it really hard to dodge his combo. He tends to fall off in comparison to our burst unless he purchases Maw of Malmortious.
”
ForgottenProject says “Poke, Range and CC is what makes him Stupid to deal with. He also has an easy Burst-combo basically making a Ranged Pantheon.
[1]Corrupting Potion is your starting item to get through the laning phase.
[2]Don't fight him without your Jungler and keep the Wave Frozen to make Top-lane easier to gank for your Jungler.
[3]Parry his Knockback.
”
Psychopathic Top says “Level 1, Jayce can zone you out of your entire first wave. It is recommended to use ghost on 1 when he does this and force your way to the minion wave by autoing him (he takes your auto damage as well as minion aggro). It may sound troll, but by doing this it stops him from completely harassing you out of wave 1, you get your xp and get a decent trade, considering you have 4 pots. Ghost cd is 180 seconds, and it is normally never used until at least level 6, so using it early won’t set you back at all. Do not be afraid to use it for benefits early, the cdr is short and it is there to be USED a lot (it is also used to beat the enemy players flash cd, as flash cd is almost double that of ghost, so if you trade flash ghost with someone that has flash, your ghost comes up a lot faster and can be used for an all in earlier before your opponents flash comes up). Post sheen level 6, you should win every all in, and just scale into teamfights later. He doesn’t outscale nor out split push.
”
LiL Bunnie FuFuu says “Jayce does a lot of poke damage and can knock you away and kite you to death if engaged on. The plus side is he is entirely physical damage so Thresh will scale against him.
Do not try to kill him without the jungler as Jayce's all in is deceptively strong at all points of the game. He also pokes.”
Stinkee says “A good Jayce is hard to deal with as Sion but most Jayce players are not good enough to abuse you. In most situations you can just slow him with your E and Q him when he tries to go up and poke you. If he jumps on you with hammer form he will try to cancel your Q with he hammer form E. This is fine as it puts your Q on a 2 second cooldown and if you can catch up to him you should be able to win the trade.”
iZeal says “If he goes Phase Rush you will have big problems hitting your combo on him as he will try to jump onto you whenever you hit your W. He has strong early game pressure and a lot of burst but is very suscetible to ganks. Use Electrocute for stronger trading patterns and dodge his EQ combos. Try to hit him with Q1 W and then attempt to interrupt his Melee Q with Q2 E backwards for a good combo.”
A_Drunk_Carry says “The only tricky part is that he can jump out of your wall in his hammer mode. If Jayce ever goes in you just wall and ruin his day, though. ”
Dream Orbit says “More info on the matchups section. Remember this is only an estimated threat, you can always win any matchup if you're good enough (or if they're bad enough).”
P1Legend says “Jayce has been popping up more and more recently, but luckily you kind of have an easy time unless he plays in a very specific way. Jump on him and just use Q and auto him until he retaliates. Once he does, and uses his full burst combo, use W - E - W while retreating, he will be slowed and you can safetly retreat from the successful trade in your favor. Keep doing this until you can all in and kill him”
Alan234 says “Any rune is fine.
Used to be a major counter, now mostly skill matchup. Dodge the e q (play in your wave and position according to his position). Shroom the wave when he goes in with hammer Q and Q him. He sort of wins the short trades with his hammer form so you should respect him during those. If you struggle boneplating and seekers are rly nice”
The_Unf0rgiv3n says “Annoying poke, long range harass, a lot of burst melee dmg + disengage abilty... Just rush tabis and try hitting as many nados as possible. If you go in for a trade, you will most likely lose it hard.
Shieldbow rush will help you survive his burst and kill him!”
The Rock Titan says “"[Comet, Doran's Ring, Q > W] - Really easy, he hurts a bit before your first back don't die to him. After you get your first few components, he can't really kill you at all.
- [Comet Q > E] Q him when he trys to farm. E, W him if he jumps you. Like it's so easy.
- I wonder if they thought of going MR and some life steal against malphite. They know better than I do."”
DippyDan says “Lane Bully with a lot of burst. Will go Phase rush which will make it very difficult to land your Riposte. Very hard to predict his knockback and can win 1v1.
TIPS: [1] Can go Fleet to survive the early game. [2] Parry his Q to guarantee to land or E if you can predict. [3] Farm up and eventually will outscale.”
Justkb says “Laning against Jayce early is really difficult! He can disengage from your lockdown with his Hammer Form E as well as his kite ability in his gun form. In this lane, I take phase rush and try to stay healthy until level 3! At level 3 take a full E, W, Q trade and back out with phase rush. You should end up healthier than the Jayce! Try and bait the next trade with your jungle and run him down with Ghost after he uses Hammer form E. Rush Tabi's and take Dead man's third if you start to fall behind.”
LoLReal says “Jayce is difficult for us. He can poke us out and has a pretty strong early game. When we get low his all-in potential is also very strong in hammer form.
Take second wind + dorans shield and farm safely.”
Rhoku says “Jayce can potentially be annoying but is doable nonetheless. Tabi Rush along with Resolve is a must. You simply have to make sure to not take too much poke. Try to dodge his skillshot that chunks you out. You may fight him by your quick passive combo but he can knock you back and kite you to shit so be careful. You win all ins but his poke is deadly if you let him do it for free. As usual, you win super hard in ult so if all else fails, wait till 6 and then bash his head in.”
Phrxshn says “Fight him in a Hammer Stance, you can easily out trade him, but if in Mercury Cannon Stance(R) you will have to make short and quick trades. To trade with his Mercury Cannon Stance make sure you stay in between Jayce and his Acceleration Gate(E) to mitigate his Shock Blast(Q). Short trade against Mercury Cannon Stance and long trade against Hammer Stance. (Recommended Items: Plated Steelcaps, Thornmail, Deadman's Plate) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even, Jayce's Mercury Cannon Stance) (Outscaling Edge: Malphite) ”

YasTilt says “You can easily block his Gun's abilities with your W. Be careful when he's in Hammer Form. Take Anti-Heal if he starts with Vampiric Scepter.”
Sopachi says “Jayce has a lot of high burst damage potential but he cannot sustain against Kled's burst/omnivamp when rushing Hydra/Eclipse. When you all in with E make sure not to throw your Q first as Jayce's reaction will be to switch to hammer form and knock you away, use this opportunity to use your second charge of E to get back on him and latch your Q, then you just run him down with W up and win the lane for free. ”
Phrxshn says “Fight him in a Hammer Stance, you can easily out trade him, but if in Mercury Cannon Stance(R) you will have to make short and quick trades.

A_Drunk_Carry says “I think this lane is very managable. Jayce has the range and poke, but your Wither negates that. You simply have to wait out his gate, which most mid to low level Jayce players will use to E Q you. Then wither and get a Q or two in and back off. ”
Mayo Is Amayozing says “He will blast your poor little facey (and not with what you want). Dodge every Q basically. Polymorph doesn't stop his E (the electric speed field) while it's going.”
Phrxshn says “Fight him in a Hammer Stance, you can easily out trade him, but if in Mercury Cannon Stance(R) you will have to make short and quick trades.

thefeedski says “Has a lot of long distance + high damage poke with his E + Q. He will do that a couple of times then switch forms to finish you off. ”
Marwaii says “He wins in every trade and has a range advantage. Mega Gnar means nothing since he can throw you away.
Take second wind and shield. Respect his space.
Stride + Plated.”
slogdog says “This is a good matchup for Yorick if the Jayce is bad/intermediate. The reason being, he remains as an immobile ranged squishy champion that can't survive your burst effectively. Doran's shield + Second wind and stalling for level 3-5 engage is the play in this matchup.”
a1a7s45 says “Jayce is part melee part ranged. Go in if he's melee and kite him if he's ranged. He builds Eclipse so build Chempunk Chainsword to answer him.”
Ganii7 says “He can try to poke after 3 but trades before that migth end up good for you. Try the w to cancel the aa and to move for the pasive at lvl 2 and buy warmog second to endure the poke.”
Bombabo says “Urgot has the tools to beat Jayce in lane as long as you don't let him completely poke you out. His poke is stronger than yours, but you dominate him in close range combat. Try to force fights whenever you can”
DarkyTheReal says “In this matchup you're supposed to lose before level 6, you take Doran's shield + second wind in runes and try to survive. At level 6 just try to bait his E and force an all-in.”
DarkyTheReal says “You have to play safe until 3 in this matchup and only fight with W up,because you can deny his range form damage. Go corruption potion”
SethPRG says “This matchup is dependant on how well you can dodge his ranged abilities, especially his empowered Q. You'll want to start Cloth 4 HP Pots and try to all-in him level 1. You can hide behind the minion wave for a majority of his skill shots so long as you're somewhat healthy HP and he can't all-in you. If he ever gets mad and tries to Q towards you in hammer form just catch him with your E and get a free trade. Wait to back till you can get Plated Steelcaps 1st item. Past level 6 you should ult him during his hammer form E that knocks you away, and you can pretty much get a guaranteed kill. This is only an annoying lane if he goes Phase Rush. Consider building Stridebreaker to slow him if you think he'll get away denying you a kill, but realistically in this matchup, Trinity Force will melt his HP bar when he builds lethality. Go Death's Dance 2nd or 3rd item and it will be hard for him to fight you. ”
Lupus_ToplaneMain says “Easy level one, gets harder later on. His hammer q is a lot damage so try to parry it. (Its when he jumps in the air and then lands). His hammer e is too hard to parry”
Sporkintahn says “ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS!!! --- This is a Skill Matchup. --- Jayce is a glass cannon; he can dish out a lot of damage very quickly and poke you down but he is extremely fragile. --- If you can get on top and stick to him you can run him down and kill him in an all-in. --- The problem is avoiding a lot of his poke and being able to put yourself in a position to all-in him in the first place. --- Avoid his Q poke and don't take free autos. (Run Second Wind and a Dorans Shield to cut down the effectiveness of his Poke, rush Steelcaps also) --- He is very mana hungry unless he builds a tear early so try and use his mana costs to your advantage. --- Be wary of his knockback in melee form so try not to use your Apprehend (E) until after he does so. --- A good way to negate the knock back is to walk up Crippling Strike (W) him for the slow, he should then proceed to use his knockback if he switches to or is in melee form and as he's slowed get in range to Apprehend (E) him as he will not have any escapes or gap closers afterwards unless he uses Flash.”
El Leon Gnar says “Jayce is just a strong lane bully v.s. Gnar. Unlike Cam and Irelia, you'll want to play closer to the waves against him so that he can't abuse his Q+E range. Once you hit 1-2 items you should be able to trade well with him, just last until then.”
joelspaho121 says “Skill matchup.
Dshield start with sorc tree.
jayce is only hard to deal with because of his ranged form but his melee form forces him to engage on you and because he has no mobility if he doesnt engage properly you shouldnt let him slip by, punish him severely.if he has phase rush it gets a little trickier because he has mobility and slow resistance which makes it harder for you to deal with in which case you just want to fight him at any given chance because he has no damage.
steelcaps rush works well if you are struggling.”
Kaizin says “Early levels he'll try to abuse the fact that he has ranged form, auto attacking you and trying to zone you off the wave (at least he should). Use the brushes to avoid giving free auto attacks, if he ever switches to hammer form and jumps onto you, drop E on top of yourself and use Q stun as fast as you can. He'll most likely jump onto you and knock you back after a short trade. Bramble vest early is good against jayce as majority of his damage is physical, at level 6 if his knock back is on cooldown or you've got flash advantage, you can all in quite easily.”
I am so chill says “A good jayce will put a distance between you and him.Dodge his cannonball combo if he jumps on you q w him at that point he will probably use his skill to push you then e q him.”
CaptianMike says “Jayce hurts. A lot. You need to be building early ninja tabi and armour in general. During the mid game, you need to tank his Q's to protect your team.”
deathwalker7119 says “Very cancer matchup, probably take fleet or grasp into him and do your best to dodge his high damage skill-shot. If you can parry the knockback and stun him you will definitely win it, but youve gotta kill him fast. He scales really well so be careful and don't feed him early or it is GG.”
SirGRC says “Worth a Ban: No
I have no idea who this guy is. I have played against a Jayce maybe once or twice, but I have no real idea how to play against him or deal with him.
”
PK Noob says “Jayce tends to be pretty squishy so once you get your hands on him he's dead. You shouldn't be focusing him in fights though. He can knock you away and create space which would just be a waste of time. He's vulnerable when his knock back (E) is down, so engage him when you see him use it.”
TwoKingzz says “Tank + W max + baits all day. Take grasp or pta I usually pta. Focus on baiting him and dodging his E Q. Usually he tries to turret dive you so bait those with ignite. focus on not taking much poke so he fails the dive when the wave crashes.”
RealIreliaCarriesU says “Can vary largely on whether or not you get camped. If you get camped this lane can be a nightmare, however I would start E against him instead of Q like how you would against other range matchups. He will look to poke you out at level 1 and jump on you with his Q in melee form this is when you want to stun and auto him. Once it pushes under your tower you can stack your passive and when it pushes back, if you have your passive stacked and you land an E you absolutely destroy him. After level 3 try to use your W on his Q (either the empowered EQ or the melee Q) as it is a bulk of his damage and you should be fine. It gets even easier at lvl 6 because he does not get a real ultimate and opening with your ult makes it easy to hit your E on him.
”
The Real Fake says “Painful to lane against, constantly pokes you down. Consider rushing Ninja Tabi & Glaciel Shroud. You can't ever kill him pre-6 as if you try to go on him with E he can just knock you back. This also prevents you from ever stacking up Conqueror. However, if he is not fed you can fight him level 6 once you stack up your Q on minions and maybe bait out his Q. Also by taking corrupting, biscuits, and using your W on minions, you can often regen his poke in lane. Your goal in this lane is to just survive and not give kills, you are much more useful than Jayce mid to late game.”
MagicallyDelish4 says “Let him shove the wave level 1. Only go for CS if your Q and E are up. If he jumps on you in hammer form W > aa> E to safety. I don't reccomend all inning him if he is in melee form. ”
tibs2 says “Putting this at a 2 because Jayce is op right now but in most metas its a 1. You should look to trade buckler autos every time and just walk up to him with your shield and q him. If he ever melee q you just w. It is really easy to react to q if you are not a boomer/ have 100+ping. Don't even bother taking d shield you don't need it.”
SadmanV3 says “Jayce borders a major threat to Nasus, with his ability to swap to a ranged weapon, he can put Nasus at a significant disadvantage by simply harassing whenever Nasus tries to kill minions. This applies under tower as well. His swap to his hammer also allows him to deal a surprising amount of burst damage, allowing him to potentially kill Nasus, even under tower. Bide your time in this matchup, as you do in almost all matchups, and once you gain your power spikes at level 6, 12 minutes, all-in Jayce to secure a kill.”
Noodles912 says “Watch for his early damage. You need to play it safe and stay as healthy as possible. Remember to stay behind and away from minions at all times. You easily outscale. Sit under tower, because this champion has 6 damage abilities at level 3. ”
PiscesPomf says “LANE BULLY CHAMP
Jayce is not often played, i rarely see him, but when i do i remember it ! Jayce is really annoying, he can poke you easily and will deal a lot of damage at melee when you will go into him. You can't trade him during the laning phase, so you will have to farm, farm, and farm until you can go on other lanes. I maybe should have placed him in "Major", but you can just stay passive on this lane.”
teemodumbstupid says “Jayce has a strong level 1, and he might try to cheese you. Try to wait until he shows before walking up. You will win the all in at level 6 with ghost. I recommend fleet footwork for extra sustain. You can also E max with Phase Rush. ”
Laserholic says “Jayce is my personal Ban. You can't deal with his poke and knock-back. He will win every short trade and harass you forever. He will poke under tower, and you have no way to even all-in with Ghost + Ult because he easily out-runs you with Speedgate + Knockback.”
ZeruelOP says “Annoying Matchup since he is a nightmare but you can go for 3 Beads and tower hug you destroy him once you get Stride Breaker because you have an advantage when he E's you you could stride breaker back in and Q”
Tsundere Tahm says “Espera el gank, no los vas a matar solo, necesitas al menos otro cc. Juega safe y con los minioms a tu lado del mapa, de ser posible freezea.”
Kokob5 says “Usually a harder match up but with the current state of Jayce he's not particularly hard to lane against so long as you don't let him poke you freely. ”
negoZoma69 says “He can zone you lv1 from the wave and there's not much you can do about it. Just try your best to grab CS. Luckly there isn't many Jayce players in soloq let alone good ones so you may be able to win if he plays safe lv1 and his combos aren't smooth.”
Draconic56 says “Jayce can potentially be annoying but is doable nonetheless. Tabi Rush along with Resolve is a must. You simply have to make sure to not take too much poke. Try to dodge his skill shot that chunks you out. You may fight him by your quick passive combo but he can knock you back and kite you to shit so be careful. You win all-ins but his poke is deadly if you let him do it for free. As usual, you win super hard in ult so if all else fails, wait till 6 and then bash his head in.”
Hesychia says “An Extreme threat! you try to get near, he knocbacks you off, you can't all-in him, he will escape for sure. He will poke you so hard that you won't be able to reach him.
ask your jungler to gank you often or even camp you.
Ban him at all costs.”
R3mI says “ok he can full burst you and run fastly from you and he can throw with his e when he used full burst and if he buy executioner you can't not longer do something only if you get ganks by your jungler”
pioj12 says “i don't find a lot of jayces so i don't know where to put him.
The only tip i got for u is watch out for his early damage and all in.
He heavily depends on snowballing so try not to die in lane and play safe.
”
MrShykun says “MATCHUP SKILLED EN SA FAVEUR.ESQUIVEZ SON POKE. RUSH LES TABIS.PRENEZ CONQUEROR.NE LE FIGHTEZ PAS AVANT LE LEVEL 3. ESSAYER DE LE FIGHT LEVEL 6.Jayce n'est pas trop fort dans la meta pour le moment mais un bon joueur de jayce peut toujours le rendre viable. Comme tout les matchup range concéder des cs et éviter de vous faire trop poke car jayce possède un énorme burst. Rush tabis va vous permettre d'avoir plus de potentiel de kill sur lui surtout que la plupart des jayce vont rush de la létalité pour vous snowball donc prendre de l'armure aidera beaucoup. Jayce fera toujours beaucoup de dégâts même si il int et si vous vous faites trop poke il pourrais vous oneshot en 1 combo surtout qu'après vous avoir burst il va vous pousser et si il joue phase rush va s'enfuir tranquillement. En revanche son changement de forme possède un cooldown essayez de jouer autour de cela. Il peut vous trade assez bien en l'occurrence le combo E-> AA-> W->Q ne l'empêcheras pas de vous dash dessus vous poussez et ensuite vous trade avec sa forme range. Vous l'aurez compris les tardes court son perdant la seule chance et de faire un gros all in en essayant de le E et d'aller dans son dos ou entre lui et un mur pour que soi il ne puisse pas vous pousser ou bien qu'il vous pousse de son coté. Ce n'est pas un problème s'il vous repousse avant que vous ne le puissiez. Essayez simplement de vous assurer que vous pouvez le E ou W. Les capacités de Darius sont imparables, donc même si Jayce vous repousse, votre E ou Z partira si vous l'avez cast avant, ce qui vous laisse le temps de le rattraper avec un fantôme. Si le E FONCTIONNE cependant, n'utilisez pas AA ou quoi que ce soit. Il suffit de marcher derrière lui et ALORS combo. Il va soit vous flash+vous repousser pour disengage ou bien vous repousser et essayer de vous kite mais vous serez du bon coté donc vous serez capable de le kill. Vous commencerez vraiment a jouer la lane au level 6. Alors évitez juste de mourir contre lui avant cela.”
Pawn Sacrifice says “I mean, in Brazilian server, in my elo (Gold/Plat) it's super-rare to find a decent Jayce... i think that this must be a difficult matchup but until today, never find a Jayce that could face Urgot power”
Emindu123 says “Jayce can poke your from a far very well,but when he is ranged from your can 1v1 him close.When he is melee dont try to e him as he will q+e and knock you back if you use your q to engage him.”
timeinabottle says “if you can manage to dodge his Q's u are safe but becarfull don't fight him too much because he can push you out of your W's zone and outheals you with conqueror”
Rime101 says “take spellbook, rush seekers armguard first item since he rushes serrated dirk. Jayce's high poke is a huge threat for kennen since kennen has almost no sustain.
Resolve tree secondary
Try your best to all in at level 6
DO NOT TRADE WITH HIM LEVELS 1-3 he will crush you
Max Q and safe farm”
HoesBeforeBros69 says “Kids these days will brag about their new shiny toys. Jayce is one of these kids. Blinded by his own arrogance he thinks technology wins against true skill. Jayce players always laugh about other players whose weapon cannot turn into a cannon or build an static field around them before begging for their life as their head is about to be smashed in. „Puny little hammer you got there.“ - every Poppy player ever.”
Erenando says “He will be annoying with his ranged pokes and melee disengages, but at a certain point your W slows him so much, that even his disengage won't be enough to bring you down. I'd say lvl 8 is a good level to punish him. If you have a nice jungler you can also punish him earlier.”
GrGamingTeo says “A decent Jayce player with chill in and out of the brush and continuously poke you. You will have to respect a Jayce with Conqueror because he can one-shot you no matter what. So just start with Q, rush Plated Steelcaps and chill with Doran's Shield. Nine tomes out of ten every Jayxe will push you under tower so just farm under the tower, recall and you will be fine. During champion selection, if you think you can survive this matchup take teleport and that will help. If Jayce ever switches from hammer form to gun form you have a chance of taking his flash or killing him if he is pretty low. Low elo Jayce players will use Q, ult, hammer Q then E you away and when that happens you can use your E and it will cancel his E.”
Olaf Only says “This lane is really easy if you can survive until lvl 6.
If he has Phase rush, avoid all-ins and keep poking.
Olaf is better in teamfights.”
SpyDaFX says “Difficult matchup, not impossible tho. go doran's shield and rush tabbies and then tiamat, you will win all ins at level 6 if you can get behind him so he wont knock you away, dont look for trades before level 3, dont go for cs if u cant (under level 3), most of the time you should do E+W+Q+E and get out since he hurts very much in extended trades. go Conqueror”
Ravenborne says “Boring farming Lane. Will just poke you down. Best way to shut him down is Rushing Tabis into Phage. Engage with Q into W and when he knocks you back you can pull him during the knockback. Then just Ghost and run him down.”
Kil4fun says “His poke is just better than yours. You can't reach him and he will be able to Q poke you. If he all ins you lose. If he takes phase rush he will use his E last to disengage and leave while you're being knocked away so you can't fight back.”
Bear24 says “All in or nothing. be careful of his kick
usually running ghost and ignite is ideal
Easy q auto and back off at the beginning to chip at their health ”
MarkFromSingedMains says “Submit to the hammer. His E in hammer form is basically a better Singed E and his damage is bonkers. He has all the hard to fight qualities of an AD bruiser whilst also having the hard qualities of an AD ranged. You likely won't win this lane and that's alright. Jayce falls off if you keep him in lane, just weather the storm.”
wff010 says “Disgusting ranged champion that pushes you away when you get too close. Just use E Q combo until you can all in with E Q TRY TO MOVE into a position where you're against a wall so he doesn't push you very far away and you can keep hitting him.
11.3 update- Go fleet, max W, run him down with fleet + Q, E, then W immediately. The W will hit him as he pushes you away. Do this over and over till he dies.”
ChevalierArlo says “Não tem jogador de Jayce bom no low elo. Mas caso caia com um, bote pressão nele e faça ele ficar sem mana - mas evite tomar muito dano. Leve a runa Ventos Revigorantes pra qualquer escolha de build que você fizer.”
ModelitoTime says “Like other range matchups just keep distance from him until lvl 6 ish, E+Flash to secure kills and dodge his Q, you will know he is about to Q because you will see his E cast first which is the little electric line. ”
kingchas2 says “He is a lane bully and you have to play far back. If he ever gets in range to jump on you in hammer form you are going to just die. Beg for ganks and hope he is bad.”
Hippo Boi says “You should be able to beat him on the early game. Be aggressive, and always attack when he's ranged form is on cooldown, but even if it's not, you should win the trade. Just try to dodge as much skillshots as possible.”
LoLReal says “This is another hard lane early that becomes pretty easy post 6. It's a skill match up that's Jayce favored early and Morde favored later. If you can hit E on him we trade really favorably, if we miss we get punished hard. Build early tabi and just farm until 6.”
aurus666lol says “Annoying and better because he will rush Eclipse and Phase Rush. Be smart and take double healing from runes and try to not get killed on ganks.”
ineptpineapple says “Out pokes you if he can go around waves and has pretty solid engage and a speedup. Try to kite back from him once he goes in and ult him his health shouldnt be able to withstand it.”
Hyzerik says “I've haven't fought this guy much but, when I have he was dominated. The only problem is his range so just try to wait out his abilities and then go in.”
lulw says “Sigh. First time I played this matchup I went like 1/5 in lane. He does too much damage and windwalling his q isn't enough. His e slow and damage is insane. You only beat him 1v1 if he ints early. ”
JannaMainOTP800K says “Jayce is hard because he has an extreme damage output. So be sure to allways dodge his Q or else you will get smashed. Dont dodge his Q when he plays Resistance Jayce cause then you want to get smashed.
Make sure to block his Jump”
Raideru says “One of the hardest matchups for Jax also requires Grasp if u want to compete in a 1v1 against him, You trade by doing Grasp + w +q combos after he uses his e q on you. If you get a lead in early game u can 1v1 him later at 2 items.”
TioKirb says “He does a lot of damage, like, a lot. But he's vulnerable in the early game and you can punish him if he gets too close with his hammer. Even then, you can get slowed, and that's a bummer, just use your W if he jumps at you. Be vigilant with your distances.”
LeSocair says “Good Jayces are hard to play against, but they're not that common, just try not to get hit by the ball and remember to try and hit him with everything you've got when he jumps on you so that he doesn't just get a free trade.
Remember he can push you away while trading. I'm putting him as Major just in case, because nobody knows how good the enemy Jayce is until you either stomp him or he stomps you, try to see which one it will be before deciding your play-style.”
sauronkaiser says “Yorick is usually used to counter this champion. Play safe first levels, then all-in and outrade him. I havent seen him in ages anyway.”
RedNBlue says “He can blast you with his w + q combo and he will just wreck you from far range and if he gets close to you he will hammer form and smash you to atoms.”
EU_Toxicity says “Currently Jayce is extremely weak in the meta so this lane is much easier than it should be. Normally however you'd have to play very safe, rush tabis and wait to get level 6.”
bocchicken says “The ONLY time Jayce has any kill pressure on you is levels 3-5. After that you are way too tanky and have too much disengage for him to do anything other than farm under tower and look for roams. ”
KillMeMyFriend says “Dodge his Qs and especialy the E+Q one. If he fails E+Q and procced to all on you kite away from him slowly and when he starts to back off aa him as much as possible and when you feel it is enough press E so he will get more damage the lower his hp is.”
iZeal says “It is very hard to beat Jayce in the early game as he can easily disengage from you with his Hammer E and multiple movementspeed buffs as well as the ability to jump inside your Q's inner sour spot with his Hammer Q. If you can time either your W or E correctly when he E's you away there is your chance of chasing him.
RejuBeads>DShield, Ninja Tabis!, Phage into Deadman's if really needed”
NoxianBlood says “Jayce deals some amount of damage to Sion, but he won't deal enough to kill you if not fed, just try to tank up, and he won't hurt you, and he gets close and personal sometimes, he can push you away in melee form and escape with his boost electric wire, but he's squishy, so nice executed combos will kill him, just don't let him split push he can melt turrets pretty fast he can backdoor if you are not careful.”
hahadead7777 says “Jayce especially lethality Jayce will win most fights with you if you don't get a lead on him. Try to keep your distance to make it to late game if you fall behind”
byThiagus says “Si el jayce tiene phase rush se complica, Sino es facil, escudo de doran las 3 paginas de runas son viables. Trata de no comer mucho poke Y podes hacer all in a partir de nivel 3, a nivel 6 11 y 16 tenes un spike bueno para ganarle1v1, rushear tabis obligatorio, ir trinidad o rompo avances
”
Stijnzxz says “Melee and range aigen.. he can be anoying if he is ranged but u can run him quite down but be aware of hes R he can transform and knock u back or just turns the table if he is good so keep in mind.”
TristanofJugdral says “Since he brings phase rush a lot he normally kites the crap out of Tryndamere. Prepare for late game because this matchup is very slow. ”
AWierdShoe says “Jayce is one of the few champions you’ll never be able to take good trades with early few levels (1-3) even if you get onto them with several empowered Q’s, just because he’s got too many abilities early on with his 2 forms. So your goal here is to just survive early on and get as much farm as you can while staying healthy using your passive shield. Most Jayces push you into towers, and a little later on around level 7 you’ll have kill potential on him if you manage to land a taunt while he’s under tower if you’re still healthy. You’ll likely need to use Teleport to lane in this match-up, but that’s fine if you stay close to the farm since he scales poorly. If he walks up to poke you inside of your creep wave it’s possible to punish him even at level 4+ by taunting in.
”
I Am Goliath says “Going to be kind of rough early on but try to farm with your Q rather then poking with it or you will take to much damage from auto attacks, only all in him if you have minion advantage or he will win the trade. Rush ninja tabis if you're taking too much damage from his autos.”
TrinityForceYasuo says “Play defensive against him early game he has the range advantage farm with your Q till you get level 3. At level 3 you are able to do a bit more against him. Try to bait his Q when he is on cannon farm and then you should be able to go for an EQ and maybe AA. If you stay after you EQ him he will try to AA from cannon form and then swtich to hammer and then there is coming the big burst of damage which will make the trade really worth for him. So overall early game look for short trades when he has cannon form stay behind the minions and keep in mind where he is positioning so you can adjust your position too so you won't get hit by his splash damage of EQ (cannon farm). When there is a big minion wave from his side you can dash on the minions and do EQ to hit him and the minions at the same time. He will try most likely to attack you or go hammer form so try to kite and make him overextend a bit so afterwards when he uses his stuff you are able to dash on his minions and run him down for a winning trade by your side. It won't be easy in the beginning but you gotta get used to the match up and will learn it and get more comfy with it slowly but surely.”
eBrixton says “You can reduce most of Jayce's burst damage with your e and you can cancel his knockback with your q in order to stick on him. This used to be a skill matchup, but due to item changes, it's going to be a shit show of a lane. You can outplay him, but be weary during your skirmishes and all ins because he's packing a punch this season”
Saarlichenbog says “Jayce is a weird matchup because his ranged form is super oppressive at the moment but his melee form is more or less a minor threat. Kalista typically tends to win lane and then the scaling game as long as you avoid Jayce's deadly E+Q poke combo in ranged form which can deal up to 1/3 of your HP at max range at almost double your range. ”
Captain Dantems says “É dificil, mas se você jogar certinho o matará. Barril no pé, quando ele chegar para te pokear exploda o barril com auto ataque e de um tiro nele. Grasp com Chamuscar ou inspiração. Poção corrupta.”
ItsPaulygon says “One of the hardest match ups a Jax player can face. He has a lot of damage both ranged and melee form. Take Doran's shield and play safe, this match up will be a nightmare for you.”
Klappy says “- Dejalo pushear, freezea cerca de tu torre
- Esquiva su Qs
- Abusa el pequeño tiempo que hay cuando cambia de arma
- Compra guardabrazo del buscador de primer item”
Nicklstherealone says “You wont reach him and his Poke is deadly. Good Luck ask your Jungler. But if you manage to catch him he is dead one E Flash may secure a kill. ”
Buum says “With the new items such as eclipse, Jayce will bully you out of the lane. Take ghost and try and stack. Eventually, you will run him down because of his garbage scaling.”
daito Okami says “D shield fleet second wind revialatize.
Try not to get poked too much early on and just wait for 6 unless he has magic resist like hexdrinker u can just oneshot him. when going in with e try to shroud instantly so he doesn't push you away.”
Frostyfps says “Can vary largely on whether or not you get camped. If you get camped this lane can be a nightmare, however I would start E against him instead of Q like how you would against other range matchups. He will look to poke you out at level 1 and jump on you with his Q in melee form this is when you want to stun and auto him. Once it pushes under your tower you can stack your passive and when it pushes back, if you have your passive stacked and you land an E you absolutely destroy him. After level 3 try to use your W on his Q (either the empowered EQ or the melee Q) as it is a bulk of his damage and you should be fine. It gets even easier at lvl 6 because he does not get a real ultimate and opening with your ult makes it easy to hit your E on him.”
OmegaDelta000 says “I kinda forgot about Jayce when making the guide. Poke, engage, disengage, this guy has it all. He's one of the few champions that you can't fight at all.”
Defensivity1 says “Second wind Doran's shield, then rush ninja tabi and jayce's poke will be mostly healed if you don't let him auto you too much.
Further itemize in to Tri.
”
Delvoid says “Dont let him freely poke you. He will try to trade and knock you back. You can cancel the knock back with E and win the trade. A good jayce is hard to deal with”
Mordekaiserrrrrrr says “Jayce is an easy matchup, but be careful for his empowered Q, it can really chunk you if you are not careful. He can also knock you back while in hammer form, which can mess up your ultimate.”
Luceris says “Standard Grasp Runes
Build: I typically change my build based on how aggressive the Jayce is or not. If he isnt too aggressive I would go something like trinity or Black cleaver early. If he is hyper aggressive I would stack up some armor.
Not much to say about this lane due to it being different everytime I encounter it. You are basically at the mercy of the Jayce, best thing you can do is try to counter poke and dodge Q's, if you do this then you might be able to pull a cheeky root off into a kill early on. Don't count on kills in this lane ever, I personally hate it.”
s0upy says “A good jayce should shit on you, but like Aatrox nobody plays him anymore. unless you're the dodging king you shouldn't be able to outpoke”
A2Tap says “Another impossible lane, Jayce is able to poke and all in. Try to stay away from the minion wave as he can all in quite easily. But do not miss experience, Jayce falls off late game.”
YoungTact says “Repesct his level 1-3, afterwards you can look for extended trades. W his melee form Q. Apply lane harass combo and Passive + grasp him whenever you can. Rush tabis”
qasddsa says “Jayce is an oppressive lane bully, especially for Kayle who can't trade back as well. Starting at level 2, he can dish out a lot of damage to you with his empowered Q. Be careful trading with him - his usual game plan is to whittle you down with Q before going in with melee form. Even then, he'll be able to go in for a short trade with Q + E in melee to deal damage and then disengage by knocking you back. I recommend going Q max with 3 early points into W to help you get through laning phase. Rushing a Seeker's Armguard and Ninja Tabi also helps a lot in this matchup. Later on when you get some items, he'll be easier to deal with.”
ERNESTSAURUS says “FLEET FOOTWORK / GRASP (SCALING) SETUP - CLOTH ARMOR + 4 POTS =
Jayce vs Nasus matchup is all about how can you survive laning phase, Jayce has damage for ages, since he literally has 2 ability kits. Our advantage on this matchup is that he will use some of his Aoe spells if he wants to trade with us making the wave pushing towards us or he can go in range for and try to poke nasus from distance, Either ways he will try to force a trade since he doesn't scale very well and Nasus is a late game monster, you will outscale him but build some armor, Jayce build consist on building lethality and oneshotting you, While farming under tower agains Jayce, look to farm the melee minions with your Q and then the ranged ones with your E, since he will try to punish you from attempting to stack them. Once you get some armor items, Sheen and Ult, he shouldn't be able to kill you and you can force an extended fight and outsustain him with Legend Bloodline. ”
Grayified says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ghost + Flash. Cloth 4 potions start. Jayce is a matchup that you DO NOT trade with early. You purely look to farm and that is it. You will be down farm but as long as you stay even in experience you can outscale him in the 1v1. Tips to avoid damage, 1. When farming under turret while he is pressuring you, you do not have to go for every single minion. If you have taken too much damage usually you do not want to go for the ranged minions because they are closer to the Jayce that is pressuring you and Jayce can deal a lot more damage to you going for ranged minions then he can while you are hitting the melees. Post 6 when you have a good amount of fury and hp if he overextends in the lane against you, you can run him down with your ghost + flash and win in a single all in. You do not want to take short trades against Jayce you only want to all in and thats it. Every allin you take against Jayce have your ghost up or you can get bursted and kited. In the mid-late game you will win allins vs Jayce in the 1v1 even when diving as long as you have ghost up and he doesnt have flash advantage on you.”
I Am Goliath says “Very hard matchup in my expierence since you're both ranged but he just feels stronger to me and if he ever hits and E-Q then you just lose the trade hard, try to just farm up in this one and don't let him snowball, you should be stronger then him in teamfights if he is not massively fed somehow.”
Nabura says “Take fleet + resolve. Borderline impossible if the Jayce knows what he's doing. The new phase rush setup will make you burn your ult with no room to punish him. Goes without saying that laning phase will be a pain as he has the potential to XP zone you at level 1. Luckily these crazy good Jayce players are only in extremely high elo so have fun dodging his Qs.”
STIERNACKENTYP says “Hard matchup since his early damage is much bigger than urs and he can always all in u. Corruption Potion / Ninja tabis to go. Farm and play passive.”
EntxRecoil says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ghost + Flash. Cloth 4 potions start. Jayce is a matchup that you DO NOT trade with early. You purely look to farm and that is it.

ZergDood says “Treat this matchup like you would against an ADC. Before 6, he's a really srong lane bully. He'll probably push the wave, try yout best to farm against him and avoid his skillshots (try to practice before encountering him in ranked!). Build tabis, and if you were the better CSer, you won the lane. Your hammering is way better than his, so take trades happily whenever he decides to go melee. Your w stops his 'dash'.”
Ayanleh says “Has become an easy matchup now. Jayce's auto range is lower than your pull range so you can pull him all the time in laning phase and burst him.”
HIGH TEST TOP88 says “Go cloth 4 or dshield and rush tabis and then he loses. If he ever jumps on you, just stun Q AA AA then w before he E's you.
Super easy when you get lvl 6.
Take armor.”
Amar4Amke1 says “One of the toughest matchups for Jax. He can poke you for free with his Mercury Hammer. I recommend going Biscuit Delivery against him. If you try to all in him he will just E you out of your stun range if you jump on him and even if you don't you dont necessarily have the time to jump on him.”
xXkillercrackXx says “Hard but not impossible. A good jayce will stand infront of the wave and poke you if you try to come up for cs. Let him push in and try to farm safely. giving up farm is fine earlier in the game until you can afford sheen. You win this lane by out pressuring the map with your ultimate.”
Steven on Jax says “Hard to win the match up since he can just push u away when u all in him with Q E combo so its better to get items for sustain and just farm till 6”
wallobear53 says “Always make sure that you dodge Jayce’s charged up poke as it can deal a lot of damage depending on his build. Once his Q is on Cooldown, you can easily try to trade with him as he won’t be able to burst you down easily.
Don’t waste a lot of time chasing Jayce as his E and W allow him to disengage quite easily. Only try to all-in him when his W is down as Jayce won’t be able to get you off of him easily and you can do whatever you want to him for a while.
Jayce’s E provides him with a lot of utility and buffs his abilities as well as his team. Try to avoid skirmishing with him while it is up as his team will be able to catch up to you quickly and Jayce will be able to blow the squishies in your team with his Q.
”
Fiora Pogjet says “Jayce has much poke with his ranged form and can also outtrade you in his melee form. Go with corrupting potion and try to not go for trades. If he trades in his melee form try to prarry his knockback.”
Teemain says “He is such a c*** to deal with as Garen. When you get too close, he pushes you away with his hammer.
When he's far away, he pokes you with his Gun Q...
Play safe until you have 1-2 decent items. Force out a 1v1 fight against him by split pushing Top. Kill Jayce and then try to GTFO with Deadman's Plate movement bonus. Good Luck Soldier.”

NullPC says “Dont eat too much of his poke and only all in if you feel confident in your damage overal its jace they buffed him for like 7 patches in a row and then thought that was good.”
xSealed says “Long-range attack is probably one of the most disadvantage for every melee but as long as you can keep your distance and keep behind your ally minions to block them or just simply dodge them if you can.”
ModxLoL says “Hard to rate this one because this matchup is like a 3 in most ranks until you get to D1+ where it becomes a 4-5. Look to all in him as soon as he switches to ranged form because he has a cooldown before he can switch back to melee form and knock you away.”
Gangplank_Main1 says “Runes: Grasp, Demolish, Second Wind, Overgrowth, Biscuits, Time Warp Tonic, Double Adaptive, Armor.
Start of lane passive auto minion for grasp, don’t leash.
What to get on first back: Doran's blade ( or double dorans blade )
Gangplank wins this matchup really hard up until jayce gets his first back. This matchup does depend jayce's rune, if he has phase rush then it’s easy for gangplank since you can trade a lot. But if jayce were to go conqueror then try your best to make short trades. So to begin with you have more sustain than jayce with biscuits and corrupting potion. Everytime you interact with jayce, q him and if he uses range q then melee q, you spam a click to get passive auto and follow it with a q. Be hyper aggressive to him, spam that q button and out sustain him, if he tries to back try your best to stop him and force him to lane. Once jayce gets his first back and it’s not a vamperc septer or serrated dirk, you can continue to harass him ( but if he has these items you just lose for the time being). You start to beat jayce once you have two items depending what he has, if jayce has bork and black cleaver, you can still beat him but once he gets edge of night then he just dominates the split. Look to team fight and end the game as quick as possible.
”
9690 says “D-Shield or D-Blade. He's pretty scary, has a lot of poke which will be annoying. He also has his melee form where he can still end your life. His abilities make it so hard for you to all in. Look to just farm with Q and call for ganks. Take Conq.”
gsaeyx says “Build full AD to decimate his ass and make sure to safe farm pre 6. Pre charge your q if you think he's going to jump on you and after 6 just e into r.”
E_IS_POWER says “Poke, Range and CC is what makes him Stupid to deal with. He also has an easy Burst-combo basically making a Ranged Pantheon. [1]Corrupting Potion is your starting item to get through the laning phase. [2]Don't fight him without your Jungler and keep the Wave Frozen to make Top-lane easier to gank for your Jungler. [3]Parry his Knockback.”
Kingarthur720 says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ghost + Flash. Cloth 4 potions start. Jayce is a matchup that you DO NOT trade with early. You purely look to farm and that is it. You will be down farm but as long as you stay even in experience you can outscale him in the 1v1. Tips to avoid damage, 1. When farming under turret while he is pressuring you, you do not have to go for every single minion. If you have taken too much damage usually you do not want to go for the ranged minions because they are closer to the Jayce that is pressuring you and Jayce can deal a lot more damage to you going for ranged minions then he can while you are hitting the melees. Post 6 when you have a good amount of fury and hp if he overextends in the lane against you, you can run him down with your ghost + flash and win in a single all in. You do not want to take short trades against Jayce you only want to all in and thats it. Every allin you take against Jayce have your ghost up or you can get bursted and kited. In the mid-late game you will win allins vs Jayce in the 1v1 even when diving as long as you have ghost up and he doesnt have flash advantage on you.”
BloodyDream81 says “Match up pas évident pour un nouveau joueur de Darius mais cela reste jouable. Ne l'affronte pas avant ton niveau 3, tu perdrais trop de vie pour rien, joue avec rush phasique, et prend en absolue premier item les tabi ninjas, essaie de figth une fois niveau 6 car c'est le point faible de jayce il ne possède par de sort ultime.
Le mieux à faire et d'endurer jusqu'au niveau 6 en évitant au maximum son poke, et une fois 6 tu le all in à l'aide du fantôme et du rush phasique tu devrais le tuer facilement si il est trop avancer !
Astuce : Lorsque Jayce passe en forme marteau, il va chercher à te repousser à l'aide de son E pour t'éloigner, si tu arrives à trouver le bon timing pour E au même moment tu peux l'attirer avec toi et ainsi annulé son sort, ce qui te garantie quasiment le kill !”
Dantheman81 says “Jayce is a farily difficult lane. He can poke you down can kill your ghouls easily. Whenever he switches to melee form that's when you want to go in with your ghouls as he will have a tough time dealing enough damage to you. Just play safe and make sure you have graves piled up.”
Xplor says “The only part where Jayce can be a threat is that he has ridiculous range and he can take you down if you are not careful.
Play defensive and wait for your jungle to help you if he becomes a struggle.”
Hunter Frenzy says “1v1: E & Res |
vs Burst JG: E & Res |
vs MS JG: PR & Dom |
Boots: Beserker's / Ninja Tabi |
1st Core Item: Nashor's Tooth |
Optional Item: Armguard”
Darrkescru says “Outro bicho chato pra caraio parecido com o shen ele vai te pokear te dar all in e quando você tentar revidar ele vai te empurrar para traz, minha melhor sugestão e comprar algo de armor como tabi ninja pokear ao maximo, quando ele te dar all in coloca um cogumelo no chão faz ele tomar slow e caita ele ”
iTzToniOP says “Against ranged champions always try to get sustain, don't hesitate to use your E for the shield and W for the HP so you can be able to farm.”
Nyx Adachi says “Mucho pockeo, te tira para atras luego de usar tu e, lo dejas atrás a lvl 6 en cuanto utilidad si, trata de bloquear el basico potenciado de la pasiva de su r, compra sustain si el pockeo te hace la vida imposible ”
ForOrion says “In ranged, you can easily punish for missed skillshots. His melee gives him more kick, but usually pyke can burst him low enough to execute in most fights. His lethality path is harder to deal with, since one missed e and he can burst you down in a good trade or if he is ahead, kill you quite quickly.”
darksage1234 says “Even to major threat. Seen in mid lane nowadays, but can pop out in top lane. Good Jayce players are patient and will try to chip you off until they can combo you out of lane. Be careful of his poke early on and his 3rd skill that could push you off. ”
JuarezLOL says “its a hard match up if jayce knows how to use bushes and minion aggro with his auto attack but you have the element of surprise which is when he pushed you back with his melee E you can use flash asap and kill him with ruined king slow in mid game ”
Sq_09 says “Pretty hard bc he can match your poke and engage you. He can't really stick onto you tho and if he knocks you away, you are at AA range again. Also his harass is not as strong earlyer or if there are minions to cover you. ”
Beatport Expo says “Slightly hard fight, he can changes from Melee to Range in quickly after attacking you. If you try to engage him in Melee form, expect you to be knock backed”
SabinX says “Your passive helps you a lot in this, so don't let him poke you and you will destroy him. Consider using E and directly W if he is used to push you away as you enter on him.”
Kingarthur720 says “this champion is a difficult matchup since few people know how to play him very well, meaning only a few people will pick him making your odds of winning this matchup a little lower. He has 6 abilities level 3 since he doesnt have an actual ultimate. Dont feed him kills early since he snowballs very hard and is difficult to stop. I recommend grasp or fleet since these are the safest options. take other options only if you feel completely confident in your ability to try and outscale him.”
yAssasinn says “Jayce, he will make a LOT of poke with you at first, try to farm a lot and always ask if your jg can go gank if he starts to get more offensive”
ShaharKarisi says “Hammer stance isn't nearly as scary as cannon stance, so try to push when he's in the hammer stance, you out-damage him in close range.”
Discord Rengar Mains says “Annoying champion who can beat the shit out of you if you don't respect his damage, plus he has a good amount of engage and disengage tools. The problem with Jayce however is that his mana costs are HUGE early and if someone can either withstand his damage or dodge everything he can throw at him, he becomes a sitting duck very very fast. Always play around bushes with jayce, if you try laning normally he will poke the shit out of you and kill you in ways you didn't even think were possible. Whittle him down little by little, don't go for an all-in too early because he will inmediately use his entire combo and come out winning since his E knocks you back and doesn't allow for retaliation. You can also fake an all-in with 3 stacks, wait for him to blow his combo on you, and then use double W to heal most of it back, while he will have lost mana and thus his aggression potential. His damage can get crazy with enough items but he doesn't have an ult per se, so you can kind of deal with him if he isn't ahead.
Either ignite or TP works fine, while HoB or conqueror can both work to ensure the early aggression.”
Itreallyhim says “Skill matchup, Hes hard to stick onto because of his Melee E.
Other than that he shouldnt be too much of a threat.
Play smart, go for all the trades you want.”
Circas says “Easy, because he is ranged and SPOILER ALERT Irelia does well into ranged.
Here is how the match up goes:
Jayce shoves you in, you build stacks, you land Flawless Duet (E) and Bladesurge (Q) to him, he knocks you back, you Bladesurge (Q) back because of the reset, and he eventually dies or flashes away as you just auto him to death.
At 6 this is the easiest match up to all in because when Jayce hits level 6 he doesn't get an ultimate ability since he technically already has it at level 1.
So if somehow you are struggling early against him just wait to all in him at 6.
Respect him early if he plays aggro and just wait till you are level 3.”
Anyerlaw says “Te gana exclusivamente si se dedica a pokearte. Pero en el modo martillo le destrozas cn tu pasiva, además puedes parkearle su e en modo martillo.”
hephephepeEPEPE says “Jayce is very hard to deal with if you think you can kill him with the help of your jungler take ghost+flash if you want more defensive lane go for ghost/flash with tp”
AkenoSenpai says “just like any other squishie, this match up should be fairly easy. Dont eat to much of his poke, and all in him by Q'ing to a minion near him and stunning him, to keep ur Q resets for his push and eventual flash. ”
lugzinho says “Ranged, 10000MS and that annoying push makes Jayce really annoying to fight against.
Time your second E right since if you don't he'll just push you away and run at 9000mph so you wont catch him.”
dinole says “One of the toughest matchups for Jax. He will poke you out of lane in the early levels of the game and if you try to all in him he will just E you out of your stun range if you jump on him and even if you don't you dont necessarily have the time to jump on him. Build tabis and ask your jungler for ganks if you think you can kill him. Farm as much as you can as this is a lane that is very difficult to win until later points of the game”
Thr3shPrinc3 says “You shouldn't play against Jayce often enough that I would consider him a serious threat. He can poke you out of lane if you don't position behind your minions so play the lane smart. Try and punish him for trying to get mana back with his hammer and try to out sustain him with MANA. Jayce without mana is useless and you can easily kill him while he doesn't have mana. Jayce scales well into mid game so be careful, but he doesn't scale late so you should be able to kill him quite easily late game.”
ForgottenProject says “Jayce is a poking lane bully who can burst you if you don’t play it right, so be careful
Personally, I parry when he jumps on me with Hammer Form because Jayce Players in High Elo will not let you parry his knockback
Start with Corrupting Potion and Farm what you can
Early game is a shitshow, but you outscale him very hard
Dodge his Ranged Form E+Q since that is his main form of damage
”
Braddik says “Dodge, otherwise its the same thing as Gnar. He pokes you forever, he'll push you away when you Q him. If you can find an opportunity to leap while his knockback is doing you'll win the all in. Impossible matchup if they play it right, but you will outscale if you can survive”
Trial_By_Barrel says “Now I personally have never went against a Jayce in lane more than three times. But if I had to guess it's not a easy match up since he has a good engage and can poke you with his ranged Q's. He also has a knock back that you can't orange from meaning he can knock you away from tower or into his own tower.”
Pedrokis says “Normalmente não vejo esse champion muitas vezes, mas você ganha a maioria das trocas. / Cuidado pra não morrer de bobo, por que você só perde troca se ele tiver a vantagem - se isso acontecer chama seu jungler e faz um 2v1 cauteloso.”
The Lost Drawing says “Tienes mejor TF que el.
Es muy escaso ver uno bueno.
Si te mata una vez estas j0d¡d0 ya que tiene mucho 'snowball'
Le cancelas el salto cuando se pone a pelear cuerpo a cuerpo”
Joaking says “Fight him when he uses his R to change into ranged mode. He won't be able to kill you and he won't be able to kick you out.
Still being a little bit hard because of his range, so, use runes against ranged champs.”
Valorkyrie Quinn says “Jayce is a bit annoying with his EQ harass in lane, but if you can dodge it, it will be fine for you.
Bringing Fleet Footwork will be better for sustain if you're struggling in this matchup.
Tip: Interrupt his Q forward dash by your E. Blind him when he's in cannon form so he cannot land autos.”
BeautifulWinter says “Dodge the game? They buffed him too. Haven't come across any jayce's since his buff so I don't know how strong he is right now.
I know he was able to kite and make your life hell previously and I know that the general consensus between illaoi players is hatred for jayce I don't have much recommendation.”
Big Belly Bop says “Watch out for his E - Q combo and all ins in hammer form. Use your range advantage and poke him. If he jumps on you, E out and W him to get some free autos off. Flash + TP, Doran's Shield + 1 HP, Sustain rune page.”
ExfIamed says “If you don't blow your brains out before getting ninja tabi's you win this, you run up to him and E him first, he pushes you away and THEN you q cause if he pushes you away after you q'd him you cant touch him ever again.”
9690 says “This is another hard lane early that becomes pretty easy post 6. It's a skill match up that's Jayce favored early and Morde favored later. If you can hit E on him we trade really favorably, if we miss we get punished hard. Build early tabi and just farm until 6.”
Verdehile says “You can just take fleet runes to survive and beat his ass later or take lethal with second win to do the same. If you feel that you dont need fleet or second wind, take the standard runes and go cloth armor first with 4 pots. ”
ApWuKong says “He and all ranged top laner are bad for you, you just dont deal the dmg to quite one shot them and you are not tanky to take a lot of shots, even tho jayce can be baitet into bad plays with the hammer form.”
ENX Kai says “Nasty melee-ranged top, can poke and burst you down pre 6, ask for gank and try not to die. A trick to chase Jayce is to predict his hammer swing with your E so you can pull him back and chase him. You can also E him while he's leaping to you midair.”
Defensivity1 says “Has a lot of poke before level 6, if you need to base finding yourselve under 30% hp at level 4 or 5 feel free to do so and buy yourselve some cloth armors, however once you hit 6 and cage him up with the maiden he really is easy to kill against jayce the conqueror page is recommanded.”
ProgettoYorick says “jayce is modestly feasible, it is true it can escape from your W, but going to Ninja Tabbi Jayce's damage will be nothing compared to the damage you will cause them with the ghouls and your Q.
Advice from OTP:
Try not to take too much damage from Jayce's energy ball. Engage when you see that it wastes the leap by closing it with the W.”
ThisIsJustSad says “1. Freeze the wave.
2. Take any fight.
3. Q behind him so that if he uses his knock back, you can still chase.
4. When he finally passes you, use w and you might stun him or slow him, either way, you won the trade.
5. To beat Jayce, you need to not get hit by too many Qs, and to W his knock back or his Q in melee form.”
Karnan says “Pretty weak as a toplaner, if he wants to auto you, answer with Q. Build alot of AD and show him who is the real poker here. Stay behind creep waves to avoid his Shockblast. Don't get overconfident, if you go aggressive he can kite you. ”
DerpzGG says “I personally hate this match up. Just take tanky or cheesy runes, 3 Rejus and you should be just fine to go even or win the lin if he makes some mistakes.”
Melloe says “I am copy pasting this to the other 3 orange-threat levels, since it's just a ranged matchup so you will be poked a lot but you are unstoppable once you have your titanic hydra.”
yetusek says “Lethal Tempo. Ghost + Flash. Rejuv bead start. Jayce is a matchup that you DO NOT trade with early. You purely look to farm and that is it. You will be down farm but as long as you stay even in experience you can outscale him in the 1v1. Tips to avoid damage, 1. When farming under turret while he is pressuring you, you do not have to go for every single minion.

You do not want to take short trades against Jayce you only want to all in and thats it. Every allin you take against Jayce have your ghost up or you can get bursted and kited. In the mid-late game you will win allins vs Jayce in the 1v1 even when diving as long as you have ghost up and he doesnt have flash advantage on you.”
Ze mentira says “Max Q. Rune: Comet Page.
start corrupt potion and back with dark seal and doran's ring to a good poke.
//just poke and back. Iceborn Gauntlet is a good item to fight him.”
Hamstertamer says “Very annoying poke and kiting, but not much else, he doesn't deal well with champions that stack armor. Ghost and/or righteous glory can get you kills on him.”
AsomeSonic says “he might poke you, don't see jayce often, but a sheen and bamis can do a lot in an early duel or trade, you can w his hammer jump thing”
Chromuro says “**** this guy: an engage, a disengage, a long range poke, aoe damage, can chase you to hell and return and builds as half (in the best case, normally he goes full) assassin. You can do nothing to this guy. Oh you are winning lane? Too bad, half of your health goes away because he closed his first item. Maybe I have a personal grudge against jayce mains, I don't know. My standard ban.”
HKRV says “Rare. Poke and all-in. Really annoying, but managable. Watch for his Q spam and play passively. W into first Q is a good start to catch him off guard. ”
-ALR- says “like gnar , but he changes he s hammer , not his size, and all champs ranged on top are ,,even'' or major'' at how much sion gets counter from , but gnar and jayce are the best exemple”
Aizo says “Ranged matchup makes it quite difficult for the earlygame. But if the jayce is foolish enough (which many are) to build lethality instead of a black cleaver vs you then building tabis and bramble should be enough for you to stat check all in him at 100% hp.”
SoulHero says “Go dorans shield second wind, hes gonna poke, you outscale , fight him by engaging with q, walking up, and w. If he goes into melee, he will q,w ,then knock u back right? So cancel that knockback with your e and u destroy him. You don't win early until u get lvl 6. You can win with lvl 1 e trade if you are good.”
Petethebossch says “Don't. Just Don't. Once you get Tri-force its over but until then your his bitch in the 1v1. Very susceptible to strong gankers but make sure he doesn't turn it into a double kill if you are low health.”
jmothemtgahole says “Not a threat in the slightest. you could give Jayce a 500 gold lead, and you'd still make him your baby back b*$%h every time he shows his face in your lane.”
HarryCao says “Jayce is probably one of your hardest matchups. When you jump in, he will switch to hammer form and knock you away and burst you while you're walking away. Build armor and health and ask your jungler for assistance. Your best bet is roaming and forcing a teamfight at a objective so you won't be the main target for jayce.”
Magrin Goixtoso says “Contra Jayce é o seguinte, você tomará pressão antes do lvl 3 isso é certeza, tente ficar recuado e evite trocas contra ele, quando pegar lvl 3, pode ir para cima ele não ganhará em 70% das vezes.”
homxr says “Jayce has that advantage where he can poke you out of lane from a great distance at no risk, he's fairly squishy but can disengage fairly easily. Get some items and your R before trying to go in for a kill.”
Lynboe says “Jayce est très difficile à combattre pour Darius s'il ne fait pas d'erreur, il est conseillé de prendre Phase Rush et Second Wind ainsi qu'un Doran's Shield.
Vous ne devriez pas essayer de le combattre avant d'avoir des Tabi Ninja ainsi qu'un Phage.”
Jnewbringspain says “Jayce is very hard because he can disengage, range, and burst. You will need a gank in this matchup. If possible, keep Leap Strike available until he pushes you back, then you can jump on him and attack freely.”
messketchup says “Jayce can kite, poke, cc, and has a gap closer therefore he is a major counter to Darius. Bring Doran's shield and if he gets close enough so you can E or W, just all in him.”
Angela du Seithr says “Dès qu'il essaiera de venir au corps à corps, il sera facile de l'intercepter. Jayce n'a pas réellement de moyen de disengage Pantheon si vous conservez votre Z et il n'a pas d'escape si ce n'est un bonus de vitesse de déplacement.”
Devitt45 says “This is a horrible match up for Crit Master Garen, because of the range Jayce has. Pray to whoever or whatever you believe in that you don't get him in your lane, but if you do, stay under tower. With the 9.14 patch Jayce was nerfed, but still be careful, he has range!”
Zestysquid says “Obnoxious lane because of his range. Try to get him to jump onto you with his Q when he's in melee form. You can dodge his ranged form Q's with ult or Q. If he engages on you with his Q and misses, you can occasionally turn on him depending on your box setup. ”
Prince Afghan says “Jayce may be a strong lane bully, but past level 6 he simply can't stop us. All in him at Level 6 when he overextends and the lane will be over.”
M2 Jizu says “Te va a pokear mucho, no es muy difícil jugarle, bloqueale su Q en forma de martillo con tu W, también puedes bloquearle los Ataques Potenciados cuando usa su R con tu W. necesitarás sutain.”
Yisuo says “If the jayce is good, would be gg, he can poke you, dive, siege take objectives better than you can in the first 20 mins, play safe start d shield and e only trade if hes in hammer form”
Bombabo says “Aatrox can deal with both forms of Jayce fairly easily. You should be able to kill him easily at level 6 since he does not have a powerspike due to his lack of an ult”
JosEffigy says “It is highly important to keep your bone plating up, and to shield his initial melee attack and/or his electrocute proc if he doesnt go aery. never waste your mobility as he is able to just disengage by knocking you back.”
RainbowNova says “Jayce is annoying in the early game, but once you get some armor he'll deal way less. You can blind his aa's if he goes all-out on you and you can poke him down while he tries to back off.”
Lil Tidepod says “Jayce does a lot of damage with his acceleration gate and Q early game. He can kite you in his ranged form, and if he switches to hammer, he can do a lot of damage to you as well. His hammer form E ability can cancel your Q. Once you get first tank item, he probably won't be able to kill you alone. But take care, as the mid game is his strongest point. He'll seem to drain a quarter of your health bar with one accelerated Q. Be careful of him shooting out of bushes or too far from your vision to see it coming. ”
zygiux says “If Jayce changed name his name it would be Pokeyce. Try to dash to a diffrent side from his Q. His melee stance has little bit lower damage, but he has knockback so don't dive as he just E's you to his tower.”
ImpossibleLogic says “Who Doesn't Love a Ranged Top Lane Bully? You find yourself against the god of poke Jayce you have two options when facing Jayce you can either try and go even with him in laning phase or you give up lane but then try to carry in team fights. Just sit behind your minion wave in laning phase there's nothing you can accomplish by going out of your way to pressure him just wait till he messes up and punish.”
Scuz Rat says “Take a defensive setup and farm it out, the only harass you can get is passive autos. If he wastes his melee form cooldowns on the wave you can search for combos but survive until you have enough armor to run him down”
Brentard says “He's gonna shoot ya. And that's ok. I tend to roam early from this lane and come back to catch up on cs. If you can manage get a head by stealing enemy jng. ”
0mega best says “Stay under tower, farm and wait for ganks, there really isnt much you can do against him, just dodge his abilitys and or else attack him IF you can and feel like you can, but never, never 1v1 a good Jayce, he will simply knock you up with his hammer and kill you.”
mlgn4ever says “Outdamages you at every level i feel like, there's a slight chance you can kill him at level 6 with your ignite/ dark harvest but very risky because he can burst you really quick.”
DrMoneybags says “This matchup is incredibly unfun if the Jayce knows how to play the lane. His poke will easily knock you off of skaarl and his melee form with ignite will crush you when you dismount. Plus he's surprisingly tanky for a ranged character. Like kennen, if he mispositions early with low mana you can get onto him with E and Q to kill him with ignite and W. Otherwise, you can possibly beat him once you get some items.”
Big Boy Matty D says “Pretty rough early levels, start Doran's shield. If he all-ins at similar health you can usually come out on top. Post 6 gap-close with Q and don't use your ultimate until he knocks you away.
If he snowballs try to get as much farm as you can and roam using ult, be wary of his tower-taking potential though!”
The_CuItivator says “Man will poke your eyes out and when you're low will all in with that massive hammer. Don't try to engage before 6 unless he makes a mistake.”
OnionMilkshake says “WhO DoSeNt LoVe a RaNGeD Top LaNE BuLly? you find yourself against the god of poke Jayce you have two options when facing Jayce you can either try and go even with him in laning phase by using Arcane comet to poke him back.
or you can go with Conq and give up lane but then try to carry in team fights
just sit behind your minion wave in laning phase there's nothing you can accomplish by going out of your way to pressure him just wait till he messes up and punish
(Recommended: Comet)”
TheNinjaRoid says “Pokey lane. You'll win as long as you avoid his long range Q, that's where his poke comes from. Get a Frozen Heart and Sheen. You'll win late game if you can farm.”
BakedBeef says “Will be hard to play against as he has a very good poke and can sustain damage, just do not try to feed him as he gets very good lately fed.”
Khazem says “The threat level here definitely depends on how familiar the Jayce player is with his champion, but generally it should be a very difficult lane for Rumble. Do your best to avoid his big empowered ranged Qs and try to punish him when he misses. Save your shield for when you think you're about to get hit, or for when he engages on you in his melee form. If he fails to all-in you in melee form, pump out as much damage as you possibly can to punish him.”
ninjashmon2 says “One of the hardest matchups for Teemo as Jayce has both burst, mobility, and CC while also having Range and Melee but mostly his range due to it being hard sometimes to sidestep. In short he is a very hard counter if you are incapable of dodging. Going into a bone plating and overgrowth build is your best choice.”
Carlosm04 says “Jayce cautera muito no Ealy game , ele atacar de longe, o Seu E joga o jax pra longe, ele pokear muito, farma oq vc puder, seu Mid game pode solar ele”
ElleryTheViking says “This one's a bit of a tilter. It's pretty hard pre 6, you have to be careful. If he's even remotely good at Jayce he's not going to get in range for you to Q E him. If you do, he'll likely just Q you away. Post 6 is your best bet, if you Q him, you can run him down with ghost and ult. He wont be able to knock you away. If you survive till then you should be able to snowball. ”
BlackguardRaven says “This is a man that needs a nerf. Although he is was nerfed, he is still terrible to deal with. I hope that he will be nerfed soon, and real fast”
SynergyXO says “Jayce is hard due to his movement speed and his movement speed reduction for trynd. as well as burst dmg.. Save your spin to get back on him after he knocks you away, and just beat him up.”
Samas says “Has long range to poke you, dont jump onto him while he is on hammer form - he will knock you away, switch to cannon and give you some beating. Farm and engage when you are sure that you can stick on him for a whole all in.”
E61K says “This only applies to Jayce players who absolutely know what they are doing. Players without experience on this champion are free. Jayce is basically another one of those obnoxious poke champions. Start Doran's Shield 1 pot and play passive until 6 unless you get a jungle gank. Luckily most Jayce players tend to get really cocky when laning against Darius, opening them up for a nice gank. Cheese him by buying Tabis first and make sure you deny him a snowball since he is reliant on it to be really effective. He falls off harder than you do. Jayce becomes useless if he gets shut down early. Taking Phase Rush can work really well into him. I would strongly recommend taking TP instead of Ghost against Jayce though since you don't want to get poked out of lane and walk all the way back, losing a lot of EXP and CS. Use your E to pull him out of his leap mid-air.”
SwiftOblivion says “Strengths: Ranged & Melee, Burst Damage, Mobility. Weaknesses: Extremely weak if behind, no sustain, squishy. If played right Jayce doesn't have to be that much of a problem. If you proc some vitals and dodge his Q's whenever he goes into ranged form. Whenever he goes into Melee form, you have a decent chance at fighting him especially if you Riposte when he tries to jump onto you because this negates some of his upfront damage. Ninja tabi’s are a great purchase in this matchup as he’s going to try and keep you off CS and that is fine. Corrupting Potion would be a good start for this matchup if you don’t feel comfortable with Doran’s blade. Lastly, It is better to give up some CS in lane than to die for a few. CS is king, but a kill is worth multiple waves of CS, so the less you die, the less of a lead he has. You out-scale him anyway, so your main objective is to not fall behind as much as the Jayce is trying to make you.”
Miracle Matter says “This ranking might be too high. Jayce is an interesting matchup, in the sense that he's almost worse than Irelia early (you cannot face him, and you aren't even safe to farm from afar due to his powerful poke) BUT if he ever attempts teamfighting, you completely wipe the floor with him.
Thus, go the tanky alternative build (Iceborne Gauntlet after Archangel's Staff) and force him to come teamfight against you instead of splitpushing if possible. Any time he engages, simply slow and stun him while your team kills him.
If he is sticking to teamfighting anyway, you might just prefer to backdoor his base while he's distracted. This is fine too - just avoid having to 1v1 him.”
NOH giel says “He can freely poke you from a pretty big distance, you are to slow to dodge everything. Also when he jumps in he can just do damage, knock you away and run off. Your best chance against a Jayce is an all-in.”
Saiyan02 says “Quite annoying matchup because he can kite you down and if you try and all in him he will most likely switch to hammer stance and E you away”
Daniloooo says “Hard to dodge Range attack so if you cant dodge well then go Bone plating and overgrowth. He has everything range / CC / Melee. He counters you so Good luck :( <3”
Sion says “Generally annoying poke. If you dodge his Qs you should be fine, don't use your Q unless his E is down. Wait for jungler and let him shove you in. Then start roaming post 6”
Vincheelo says “He hurts a lot and can disengage you with his Thundering Blow. Super annoying early on. Build armor and you can kill him easily later in game. Don't feed him.”
SkullNatoR says “you will find this matchup only hard if you are vs good jayce, cuz he will not let you farm due to his bully kit
get doran shield and play safe, you may all in him at 6 since he doesn't have a proper ultimate
you might need ninja tabi in this matchup”
Proxxecube says “Jayce is a meanie; but only in early game. His range makes it annoying to play the game at all; but don't get discouraged. If you can avoid dying and just farm under tower, he won't be able to do anything.”
VdeathSpartan says “Insane poke early game, keep moving and get used to the way he pokes. Some Jayce players will spam poke and others will wait for you to farm, find out what kind he is and play accordingly. You can actually out damage him early if you haven't taken any damage from his poke.”
Xywiser says “Jayce will be hard to win in lane because he can basically do everything, he can come brawl you in melee form or poke you from distance, ban him or be very cautious in lane.”
Melloe says “Ranged is deadly for volibear, getting poked in lane is such a death threat fror him. Jayce's knockback hammer slam also completely ruins your engage as he knocks you back before you can q him. unless you have enough movement speed (righteous flory active).”
Nichao says “Jayce tem muita vantagem quando você está sem a skaarl pelo fato dele ganhar muita velocidade com as trocas de Ult e com o ''E'' no canhão, Fique um pouco mais perto ao jogar o ''Q'' para que ele não consiga escapar e não tente usar a Ult para cancelar o ''E'' na forma martelo não funciona.”
Adclain says “If its a good Jayce he will fuck you up. No matter what he can kite you and even if you manage to catch him he just kicks you off. Stay under tower and wait for your jungler.”
Bakiraka says “Considering it's Jayce, not too too bad. The easiest way to be done with this lane is don't let him get kills and lose tower early. That might sound weird, but it makes getting ganks a whole lot easier and makes farming even easier. Don't fight him, play safe, and you should be fine.”
Trixelkour says “Takes you out with ease if you're not careful with your position. Take Dark Harvest if you wanna quickly end the fight or Phase Rush to play around his Hammer form. Go tanky would generally result in you losing a 1V1. Go for HP AP Hybrid if you want to win a duel against him.
”
Swagus says “This guy would i recommend aftershock agains't. He have easy to outrade and can handle your champ really easy, so be careful and trade with caution.”
lunarstaff says “Don't see him played alot anymore, but he's easy to deal with, since he is a bursty champion. Early on you want to trade with a double W, but as you get more damage you can just combo him down.”
heyitsRainex says “Jayce is one of the strongest in the early game. In order to beat him, either hold your lane until mid game by stacking armor and health or wait until Jayce runs out of mana.”
SirDeRp25 says “Hard lane, he outrades Teemo at essentially all stages of the lane phase, a good Jayce will freeze the wave and crush you. Start Doran Shield and coordinate a gank with jungler.”
E61K says “Start DShield and play passive pre-6. Jayce has one of the most powerful pre-6 out of all champions. The reason he is on 6 is because he is a stupidly powerful lane bully and there isn't much you can do about it, other than to wait until you hit 6 or for him to misplay horribly. Jayce has no level 6 powerspike unlike most champions. If you try to jump on him he will just hammer you away and will blast you afterwards. Jayce is reliant on snowballing because he falls off. If you deny him the snowball you are already doing well. Look to fight around 6 if you're confident or wait until you get your Tabis + PD. Also Jayce isn't exactly the easiest champion to play well so you got that going for you.”
undeadsoldiers says “Jayce - Conqueror
Early items (in order) - Tabi (Doran’s shield first if he's ahead), Tiamat, Phage (Bramble if he’s ahead)
- Take the second wind rune
- NO all in lvl 1-2 (even if passive stacked; he has two abilities lvl 1)
- Play very safe in lane
- He pushes the wave naturally (ask for a gank)
- You can get good trades if you land E stun and his abilities are on cooldown
- DON’T all in alone until Trinity
- Evade his empowered shot by standing well behind your minions or by Qing to a minion (careful of the aoe damage)
- Always wait until he uses his knock back before Qing him
- Be ready with your W to mitigate his entire (very quick) combo
- Ult cooldown: n/a

matuush21 says “[SK:] Hranie proti Jayceovi je peklo. Jednak keď pritiahnete, odhodí vás. Odstreluje vás z diaľky atď.
[EN:] Playing vs Jayce is rly hell for you. When you E him, he will throw away you. He is shooting you from distance and etc.”
ReformedLavahit says “If you dont know the matchup good you WILL get destroyed. Ask for ganks early because you will be able to beat him after a gank or two. Get Dorans shield and play def”
Zachlikespizza says “He will consistently out range you and bully you. I suggest getting some anti-poke items and try to do short trades with him. You can sustain back up where as he can't.”
ninja8135 says “He is a poke champ and can knock you away from him. Use your windwall at level 3 and all in him then. Try to all in him whenever you have windwall up and a favorable position in lane. This constant pressure is the advantage you have. Playing safe is difficult due to his long range so try not to get behind.”
Mouadyam says “bad lane, he has powerful short trades which are not good for you, try to punish him if he comes too close and build a dorans shield to absorb his poke, with some early armor”
Mr Dunk Your Girl says “Jayce is a pain in the ass. Play safe stay behind minions if you ever get a grab on him. Grab him with E and walk in front of him so he cant knock you away towards your turret and into the direction to his turret. W him and procced to Q him. Open ghost and auto him until you have 5 stacks and then R him to kill him. I Suggest rushing Tabi's.”
DreamDaddy says “He has alot of range with his e+q combo which does alot of damage that you cannot answer and ruins your early game. Lane with caution. you scale alot harder/”
iam colorblind says “He can trade u alot!
He can also throw u away like Vayne.
So time your E perfectly and run Ninjatabis.
Play safe and try to roam!”
Skullsunderer says “Jayce is hard to deal with as any champion with his poke and hard engage. However if he ever decides to engage with his melee Q, you need to do everything you can to stop him from running away and poking you to death. Use flash, E, Ghost, whatever it maybe, just keep him in melee range.”
joelblack says “I don't think people play Jayce anymore, but I'll do him anyway. His kit is pretty good against you, but he lacks stats. He'll be squishy all game and his damage is pretty bad early game. As long as you dodge his little shit balls (hide behind minions) then you'll out poke him. When going all him, be really quick about it. If you delay your combo or are just out-positioned, he'll just wack you away.”
CaioOP1985 says “Jayce has lots of poke and overall damage early, so do not engage with him at all. Use your minions as shields against his poke and stack up before facing him.”
Ashnard says “Jayce is a strong laner with a lot of poke and burst trades, but you can easily combo him down if he oversteps. You can both outtade and outsustain him as long as he doesnt get a free lead and is useless if behind.”
GOTG Ment135 says “Urgot tiene las herramientas necesarias para ganarle en linea mientras que no te dejes pokear fácilmente. Su pokeo es mas fuerte que el tuyo, pero lo dominas en peleas a corto rango. Haz que gaste su pokeo y fuerza peleas cuando puedas.”
galvapheonix says “ Jayce is a farily difficult lane. He can poke you down can kill your ghouls easily. Whenever he switches to melee form that's when you want to go in with your ghouls as he will have a tough time dealing enough damage to you. Just play safe and make sure you have graves piled up.”
thedunkening111 says “Since you have lock down, jayce ain't all that bad, especially since zenith blade puts you behind him. That's awkward for the guy since he wants to knock you away. Look for a good moment to all in him.
Take Aftershock
”
TrashIreliaxd says “A good Jayce will know how to poke and kite away from Irelia. Learn to abuse when his E (Hammer form) is on cooldown and that's when you all in him.”

Tips Against Jayce in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Avucado says “Low pick rate mid so I don't have a ton of info for this champ. Don't engage with E. Look for hooks and try to poke him out until you can all in. He's not too tanky but he does take lethality and can easily kill you. Make trades short and save E to get out. Stay behind minions so you don't get hit by his Q. Ganks make him easy to kill.”
PH45 says “Jayce is another lane bully case, who naturally does well against melees with gap closers. You'll want to bait out his melee E before going for an all-in. Early lane phase will probably be in his favor, but you'll outscale him if you don't fall behind too much. Early tabi's will help and generally once you get some damage under your belt you can start pressuring him more. Make sure to avoid his ranged EQ combos to your best ability since the lower he gets you the more of a chance there is he will just all in you with his burst damage.”
Ambitieux says “Jayce is a trickier matchup because of his ability with cannon form. But he is quite squishy. Hide behind minions and push him into turret to look for early game pressure with ur jungle to get an easy gank off. It is not needed to be 6 to have him ganked. Save charm for hammer form. Once he has his hexdrinker try to mostly look for ganks or roaming. If not you can almost always all in him and kill if you have ignite. ”
Coldsong says “Jayce is super annoying to fight due to him having 6 abilities and strong poke. Do not get hit by his accelerated Q, as it deals around 1/4 of your health if you're not careful. Wait for him to use his knockback before going all in.”
eiensiei says “He won't be able to land his Q if I stay behind my creeps, so I'll go for E-AA trades; if he tries to trade back with E, that puts him in melee range and it's fairly easy to land a Q into another passive proc. He can't out-trade Lux, especially not through her shield. The fact that I buy Seeker's Armguard/Ninja Tabi (or both) gives him just as much of a rough time as his Hexdrinker gives me.”
WayOfTheTempesst says “Very annoying early but the bright side is that most Jayce players do not play him to the fullest. Def take fleet 2nd wind into this lane bc he will poke you super hard early. Go on him when he uses his Q and try to E back once he goes into hammer form to dodge his melee Q.”
Katawina52 says “Go Dshield and second wind here, Seekers rush is really good aswell. You can go for trades, but make sure you're healthy enough and that you're not fighting in a wave. Make sure to always E out after a trade to prevent his melee trades. You should be able to trigger your abilities before him, so minimizing the time he has to use his after yours is the best approach to the lane, dont bother trading if he has hexdrinker.”
Dr Eggmund says “Being a Jayce player myself Vladimir can be a real steamroll for Jayce. Don't allow him to get the upper hand early game and out scale him late game. His all in's do ridiculous amounts of damage so don't stand too close until your 6 as Jayce doesn't get an ultimate at this level and you can punish him for it”
RezoneVerified says “Care his Hexdrinker rush. Laning phase will be hard but try to land a grenade when he engages with his Hammer + Q. Without MR he is quite squishy. Pre level 6 you should win the lane.”
Sylvan Lore says “Jayce is very strong early game and will most likely win any 1v1 fight you have with him unless you enter at a strong health or mana advantage. I usually just push him under turret since he has weak wave clear. Building a seeker's armguard is an absolute necessity and will provide incredible value for its price. Zhonyas and HP are really important against him. His midgame is quite strong with long range poke and a lethal all-in. So long as you complete your zhonya's and keep good vision of his shots, you will be stronger than him on equal footing in the late game.”
Yasukeh says “ He's someone who can hard poke you out, then if you try to get on top of him, he can disengage very easily. Try to CS as much as possible without getting poked out pre 6. Phase Rush allows you to chase him down despite all of his disengage. ”
Polarshift says “Don't get hit by his projectiles when he shoots them out of vision. Getting tabi's/seekers armguard will make him less of a threat to you. Definitely Jayce favoured, but given you don't die you will outscale him, since he falls of really hard if he can't get ahead.”
WayOfTheTempesst says “Skill matchup, is a lot harder mid than it is top due to shorter lane. Try not to get poked down lvl 1 and you can go on him lvl 2 when he is in ranged form, try to get in his face so he can't EQ for massive damage on you. Try to evade his melee Q by dashing out at the right time. Snowbally matchup so if you get a lead on him you can steamroll the lane fairly easily. Build double dorans into early cloth.”
Aegox says “Jayce's early game is extremely strong, stay behind minions and CS as much as you can. you can probably start destroying him really late game.”
LunarVortex says “He hurts. Try to not miss your Q (duh). If you do, he will run you down. Play safe while it is on cooldown. Thankfully, nobody plays this guy. Buy an early Seeker's Armguard if necessary.”
A55AILANT says “Don't get hit by his projectiles when he shoots them out of vision.
Jayce favoured matchup, but if he can't get a lead, he'll fall off really hard.”
TheDuskWalker says “Any summs. Electrocute. Conqueror and Summon Aery is a possible choice.
Q spamming simulator. Respect his early all in damage potential but otherwise just play safe and outscale him. ”
Curt Mcbeltpants says “Jayce is an even matchup, second wind with seekers and tabs and you should be good to go, just watch out his early combos hurt more than it looks.”
Little Planet says “Jayce doesn't have the durability to take trades with you after lvl 4 and can no longer do anything after lvl 6, you just kill him whenever he walks up.
Just be prepared for all the jungle pressure you'll get, Jayce always has to be strongside.”
Joseph Evanss says “He wins all ins early on so go for short trades. Once you get Berserkers + Zeal its pretty free. Try to hold q until after he pushes you away so you can get back on top of him. Go Second Wind, Revitalize + D Shield or D Blade”
angeLoon says “Conq Dblade in resolve Conditioning Or Domination Secondary.
he has range advantage and deals too much damage,if you're mid you better take exhaust”
ahspaghetti says “go d shield and second wind, rush seekers. try to always have your e up to dash away from his melee trades. try to go for quick trades as you can use your abilities faster than he can and always try to get out before he switches form to use more of his combos. generally play safer and wait for jungle to gank.”
kindo says “Jayce is extremely hard mostly because he can freely farm because of your low range. If you get in range, he can jump on you and knock/phase rush away at any point.
Your mediocre range also allows him to get into range at almost any time - so he can pretty easily combo you if you try to trade.
Not much to say other than try to farm without falling far behind. He'll scale better in sidelane but you will do much better in teamfights. It's hard to gank since your only CC is a slow (which phase rush negates).”
mc_jojo3 says “Jayce has a lot of Poke potential and has hight burst damage so avoid his shots at all costs and make sure you know what mode he is in (R) ”
Noodles912 says “Rare but brutal. You want to give up a lot of cs early, or he will kill you fast. Play safe till you hit level 6. Then you will win. HE WILL DESTROY YOU TILL LEVEL 5. Use E to dodge his empowered ranged Q, or his hammer form Q.”
nZk01 says “(Top) very hard matchup as he can match your range and has very good all in and Poke, try to dodge his ranged Q and cancel his melee Q with your E, only thing you have to really care about is him Q'ing the minions and the AOE slowing you so he has all in potential, otherwise ok matchup to play, would recommend Ignite/exhaust.
(Mid) way easier than top because he doesnt have that much range to play around with which makes it easier to deal with, just do the same as on top.”
Coldsong says “Jayce is similar to Orianna in the sense to where his main goal is to out range you by a mile with his Mercury Cannon form. Dodge his Q + E combo and do not get close when he is in hammer form. An early Seeker's will be useful into him.”
nZk01 says “(Top) very hard matchup as he can match your range and has very good all in and Poke, try to dodge his ranged Q and cancel his melee Q with your E, only thing you have to really care about is him Q'ing the minions and the AOE slowing you so he has all in potential, otherwise ok matchup to play, would recommend Ignite/exhaust.
(Mid) way easier than top because he doesnt have that much range to play around with which makes it easier to deal with, just do the same as on top.”
KawaiiSpecter says “You're gonna want to build DShield here. Jayce can continue to push you away and has lots of movement speed. You can go for trades but make sure you're healthy enough and that you're not fighting in the enemy wave. Always E out of a trade to avoid his melee trades. You should be able to trigger your abilities before him, so minimizing the time he has to use his after your is the best approach. Don't bother trading if he has Hexdrinker. Play it safe and wait for jungler gank opportunities. ”
Hiimkata says “(always go Conqueror vs Galio) If he E's in and you're healthy at (mostly) all levels you can all him after he procs aftershock (you should have conq in this matchup). Being healthy when fighting is key! If you are both at equal health you will most likely lose the trade. If you can dodge his E with yours, go in after and you shouldn't lose (mostly killable pre first back). Lane gets EXTREME hard to kill once he has some component item and some levels, but you should still be able to kill it depending on his spell usage. Galio can set up ganks very well so keep an eye on the enemy jungler and how he is pathing. Follow his ult roam and try to move already when he is going to move so you're there way earlier. Mercs good vs Galio if they have more CCs”
Elite500 says “Trade with Q, if he jumps on you with hammer then pool it while he's mid air to take no damage, always E in pool to outtrade him, if he doesn't rush MR it's a free lane”
Yamikaze says “There is not much to do against a skilled jayce. Taking dorans shield and [[resolve]] secondary is good here. He has ranged poke to make sure your shield is always down. He will E you in hammer form to stop your dash onto him and follow up with his burst. You are looking to safely farm with Q and take as little poke as possible. Try have your jungler helping, and play passive until you outscale, or he makes a mistake you can capitalize on.”
rajsovsky says “Who plays Jayce mid nowadays? But yeah he's annyoing, has a lot of damage and potential to kill you. Respect him. Rush seekers, take wraiths and you should be good. ”
invalidd says “He beats you in trades early on for the most part but can't actually kill you, abuse your sustain vs him to get the best results, can cancel
your hook channel with his knockback so keep that in mind, you should be more useful than him in skirmishes and teamfights so don't worry about the
lane too much.”
lkycch says “There's not many AD poke champions out there (off the top of my head maybe Varus and Senna). He will bully you hard in lane and is the perfect counter to Zilean. If your team is all squishy, I suggest dodging in champ select. He has insane poke and is one of the best lane bullies out there, making your life hell. Luckily, he has no escapes so if you GLP him, your Q+W+Q combo is guaranteed. Remember: Summoner's Rift is a 5V5, not a 1v1. You don't have to stay in lane and suffer a losing matchup!”
Aikairi says “He's annoying with his knockback, but save your W for when he knocks you back so you can still hit your dagger. Don't let him poke you with his Q's either. Just play safe and farm and wait for an opportunity to go in on him, but don't force it.”
lkycch says “There's not many AD poke champions out there (off the top of my head maybe Varus and Senna). He will bully you hard in lane and is the perfect counter to Zilean.

Chili Dog says “Trade with Q, if he jumps on you with hammer then pool it while he's mid air to take no damage, always E in pool to outtrade him, if he doesn't rush MR it's a free lane. Electrocute is recommended.”
Xiphire says “He can poke you from far away but he can also engage on you with his hammer form dealing you tons of damage so make sure you dodge his Q.”
OxiteoMyst says “Ah yes, your former colleague. Havent met in awhile huh? Practice dodging his energy orb since you're going to be doing that out in this lane. Try to poke him down at such a distance that he cant Q onto you, if he does manage to you need to trigger phase rush and get out of there, he is going to follow up with his empowered energy orb and blast you with damage. You do outscale him but he still is an assassin type champion so beware.”
WolfRider01 says “Jayce is a lane bully. He has strong early game all in potential, along with strong poke. Once fed he can carry any game if he's good enough. Ask for ganks, play around his mistakes. Be careful of his damage.”
Magical Rock says “Jayce is very annoying to play against mid lane, mostly because he can do damage and has a lot of health. Luckily you will barely see him at all these days. Beware when he goes gun mode, as his big ball o' energy does a significant chunk of your health bar.”
TheCatOfCheshire says “It's not trendy atm, don't know why. It'll be back in the meta soon enough in my point of view. He got a really strong burst pre-6 so be aware of that. Usualy, if you land a charm you get a free kill. Wait for him to use his mana before engaging, that big boy is kind of a mana devourer. In roam, you're clearly better than him so use it.”
Yeager says “A good jayce is difficult to deal with in the laning phase, especially because they have ignite midlane. Rush early seekers armguard so you have some defensive stats against his lethality build. Always stay behind minions so you don't get chunked by his Q poke. It's AOE, so keep your distance from the minions.
If he doesn't have cleanse, then call for your jungler and set him up. Jayce players have a good laning phase, so they have to play aggressive. ”
xAsuta says “Skill matchup. All in him after he uses his knockback. With a full combo you should be able to kill or make him low. A good Jayce will freeze the lane or kite you out.”
BloooodTV says “D-Shield or D-Blade. He's pretty scary, has a lot of poke which will be annoying. He also has his melee form where he can still end your life. His abilities make it so hard for you to all in. Look to just farm with Q and call for ganks. Take Conq.”
Godzillababy says “It really depends how good the Jayce is but a good Jayce will poke you, and make sure you cant stay on him too long. Ask for jungle ganks”
Yuki H. says “AD marksmen are all a tough matchup, since their AA pokes hurt much more than AP ranged champions. His hammer form gives him good mana sustain, allowing him to use mana fairly freely. Additionally, he gains armor and mr when he is in his hammer form, which makes trading harder. He has insane burst and all in potential as well as disengage with his knockback and acceleration gate.”
fwii says “Avoid his Q poke and Auto Attacks. Look for Trade Combos whenever possible or wait for ganks if pressured. Do not die in this matchup and just farm with Corrupting Potion. ”
Proma says “Dshield
He has good poke and will outscale you damage wise. He's hard to engage on due to his knockback.
If you are even or behind in lane with Jayce you're losing. Looking for early kills and get help from your jg.
”
Veralion says “HoB/beads. Okay, so I've played against Jayce a few times since his nerfs, and I gotta say, they hit him HARD. His Q deals so much less damage than it used to and staying in lane isn't much of an issue anymore. Just a little bit of respectful play and smart farming is enough to go close to even against him. He still has full control of the lane early, but I haven't even really felt pressured to build Seeker's anymore and have been just skipping it half the time. It takes an absolute master to make this champion good now, and I do still think someone who knows how to do his ridiculously complicated combo properly and quickly would be an extremely high threat (which is why
I still have him as major), but almost nobody is that good at Jayce. Even D1 level players aren't good enough to make him shine from my experience. Just play back early, hide behind creeps while he's in ranged form, trade back if he jumps on you in hammer form, then look to squish him at 6. He's quite vulnerable to being 100-0'd; I've been shocked by how much damage he takes.”
Qibi says “Beware of AD Champions. They are the real threat to Galio. Jayce is no exception. His range and burst gives Galio no room to breath or roam. Try to survive laning phase with Seeker's Armguard and a dorans ring.”
K3y5 says “You have to lane swap against him. He will poke you down, he does more damage than you, and he can mess up your combo by displacing you away from your W dagger.”
Zoe Sparklepop says “High Minor
He can't out poke you as long as you stay far enough behind minions, run away with E whenever he pulls out his mallet, he's no Eustace Bagge.”
The PaIe King says “Anti-Assassin

Defensivity1 says “Stronger early and stronger mid game, advised to rush seekers and tabi, he is a very strong duelist and a stronger skirmisher especially early to mid game and has the ability to solo kill you at level 3-4 in lane.”
1256 says “one of the worst kassadin matchups, has good poke allin even abit of mixed dmg, rush seekers and try to outscale, beg for ganks or youre doomed in lane, maybe hes bad maybe hes not just dodge that
fleet+dom, electro if confident (gl)”
Lil Tidepod says “Jayce mid isn't something you'll encounter often, but his two forms can be a problem for you. He doesn't out range you in either one, but in hammer form he does a lot of damage, and he'll just try and poke you with his acceleration gate Q combo. If you don't time abilities well, he'll actually deal a lot of damage. Try and poke him down and then all-in him.”
JacWilly says “Jayce is in a great spot, he can poke you out and 2v1 early game, try to survive and 1 shot when you get items, atleast try to go even and splitpush.”
Malmortious says “He does a lot damage, but you have the ability to burst him very fast early, and even late to be honest, just don't feed him or he will be able to 2-3 shot you or snipe you for half of your health.”
kujosrevenge says “Horrible matchup for top lane Irelia as well. Your W feels completely useless during his burst as he just does so much damage. Even if you hit your E on him you will not be able to kill him faster than he gets unstunned and one-shots you. Recommended to dodge this matchup but if you cannot dodge it, build seeker's armguard and tabis after cutlass and you can duel him a bit better.”
theboywhodominatedaplat says “he can destroy you he can out range you and out damage you early try to play safe and get jungler assisatance and bait his empowered Q when he all ins you W back then E Q to proc electrocute and succesfuly trade”
HeziEune says “At no point in the game do you beat him. If he somehow loses this lane 1v1, it’s due to his mistakes. He has higher dmg output, and he can always go to hammer form and e q you out of any combo you try. The only time you can maybe kill him is if he has no knockback, but he’ll always have it in lane unless he used it on you when you engaged on him. Play passive and ask for jungler help.”
LONERlSM says “His all in burst is huge play safe into ur minions if you dont allow him to get anykills you will out scale and most likly will be against a full ad team. Go rylias build.”
DravensBukkake says “Barrier/TP
Jayce beats everyone early, I mean its fucking Jayce.
If he's smart, he'll always be in ranged form and AFK farm it out, since he can't really do much to Azir. Stand next to/a bit away from minions so his empowered Q big balls don't smear your face. Hard to setup shuffles, he can knock you guys away, and burst you good. But its possible. If he's ever in melee form though, harass the shit out of him.”
Braddik says “start cloth armor and farm whatever you can, you outscale but he'll poke you like crazy and push you away if you try to jump onto him. when he leaves lane shove the wave and try to roam or take plating”
Garybaldo says “He's a joke of a champion in his current state, stay kinda safe early game, once you hit six you can kill him very easily, buy early armor to counter his lethality, he does nothing mid to late game”
Euphoric Toaster says “Before 6 its a pretty easy lane, and he can never really all-in you in melee form since you can stun him and burst him or simply disengage. Once he gets Mercury Treads + Hexdrinker, the matchup gets a lot harder to deal with because you might not be able to burst him down anymore before he kills you. Eventually though, you just outscale him and have a bigger teamfight presence than him, so you just have to survive the midgame and late earlygame.”
Big Shawn says “1v1ing him is quite awful, as you do not have much damage early game. Meaning that sliding around with your E Ability will not occur often if you wish to avoid Damage.”
Yeager says “One of the strongest early game lanebullies, but he's really easy to gank since most people below master don't know how to play him properly.
If jayce pushes the wave level 1 while taking aggro it means he's bad. You can ask the jungler for help and set him up for an easy gank. Even if it only ends up in him losing flash, it's perfect because he will be forced to play more passive the next 5 minutes.
- If he slow pushes, pulls the wave or lets it freeze, then it's a good player and you have to respect it. In that case, you can max W first for A LOT of sustain. Only go for CS that won't result in you losing half your HP bar.
- Losing CS early is fine against tough match ups. What matters is that you stay healthy and get all the exp.
- If you ever find yourself low on health, base immediately and teleport back or you might risk getting dove by him and the enemy jungler.
- Always keep an allied minion between you and him, as his charged cannon will chunk you for a lot of HP. If you get hit by 2-3 of those, your lane is over.
- You can crush him from level 11 but until that your job is to stay safe and not give any kills. If jayce can't snowball, he will slowly fall behind and become useless.

Vispectra says “Ouch... don't pick Kassadin into this if you can help it. You won't have a fun time. You outscale him but his lane dominance and mid-game burst potential is off the charts against you. You won't be able to CS and will probably die under tower even.”
Boy0Champ says “There is not much to do against a skilled jayce. Taking dorans shield and [[resolve]] secondary is good here. He has ranged poke to make sure your shield is always down. He will E you in hammer form to stop your dash onto him and follow up with his burst. You are looking to safely farm with Q and take as little poke as possible. Try have your jungler helping, and play passive until you outscale, or he makes a mistake you can capitalize on.”
IceCreamPaintJob says “a good jayce will just zone you off of the wave level 1 completely. give up last hits to avoid taking free damage. stay as healthy as possible and outscale, let the wave push to you and setup ganks against him”
SmokeyEggs says “Jayce can disengage against Ekko pretty easily and poke him from a safe distance. I recommend pushing and roaming more against him since Ekko's wave clear is better than Jayce.”
Shaawn says “Start with dorans shield you are looking to safely farm with Q and take as little poke as possible. Try have your jungler helping, and play passive until you outscale, or he makes a mistake you can capitalize on.”
Jazzmonkey says “A good Jayce will fuck you pretty hard. Just avoid trades farm if needed under tower. Go dorans shield + second wind vs jayce. Do rly short combos vs him.”
Yasuo Comunica says “Jayce is one of the worst enemies of yasuo because of his exesivo pockeo his Q and his E are a total chaos with those 2 skills of jayce you can get to delete.”
moutenn says “He will often have Exhaust, and he does a lot more damage, unless you play it correctly. You can beat him, mostly by using R to juke his Q (engage). Then juke his blaster Q, and hit all you got. ”
Felispo says “Ele te mata muito fácil, mas não segura seu push, então empurra a lane e vaza pra dar roaming. Se não desviar do Q, vc provavelmente já tá morto, pois ele vai pular em vc e te burstar.”
rimzaki says “Hes early game powerfull than u also he has 6 ability but u have sustain but he hasnt trade him If u sure kill him do ur ultimate nuke (R E Q)”
Sozzoh says “A Jayce mid is pretty rare, but if you do come across one, be wary of his early kill potential. Since you don't have any means of escape before level 3, (except flash) don't have extended trades with him, and try to dodge his Q + E combo in cannon form. If Jayce is hitting most of his Q's, get boots before Nashor's so you can dodge them a bit easier. Jayce is good early game, but because he doesn't have a true ultimate ability, and no means of mobility other than his gate, Shurima Shuffling him under your turret will most likely give you a free kill. His E in hammer form can interrupt your shuffle, so be careful if he's in his hammer form. If you're low and under turret, either recall or try and dodge his Q, because Jayce can Q + E you from a far enough distance where you can't see it and won't have enough time to react, leading to your death. A good counter against this is warding up your lane and warding your blind spots. Late game, Jayce will be a 1v1 god, and he can absolutely demolish squishies. I would suggest getting either Zhonya's or Guardian's Angel and peeling for your ADC in teamfights.”
undeadsoldiers says “Jayce is a really big lane bully. You can't really 1v1 all-in him, he will kill you. Play safe and take his mistakes to your advantage.”
Ribbit says “I find his range to be extra hard for Jax. He can knock you off of him (Jax has 1 engage), and he can use long range spells instead of autos. His lane pressure is unbeatable sometimes.”
LFS_aXent says “I never found Jayce an actual problem when I was matched agaisnt him. He's very predictable, and easy to dodge with your movement. Considering you'll be a little tanky, dont let it go to your head, he can combo and kill since he builds lethality.”
KingZogu says “its a tossup when ganking him, depending on his positioning he might be able to hold his ground without having to run to his turret as his E can cause major problems for karthus either slowing you to a slog to maneuver around it or poking you so hard you'll cry
Another scenario is that he's over extending and you can either sandwich him with your laner or catch him before he can fully orient himself with his e and close the gap slightly.”
triger34 says “Jayce is hard champion to play against with jax.He has big range,If you try to engage him he can punch with his melee abilities.Try to farm and call you jungler to help you.”
TheFalco62 says “There is not much to do against a skilled jayce. Taking dorans shield and [[resolve]] secondary is good here. He has ranged poke to make sure your shield is always down. He will E you in hammer form to stop your dash onto him and follow up with his burst. You are looking to safely farm with Q and take as little poke as possible. Try have your jungler helping, and play passive until you outscale, or he makes a mistake you can capitalize on.”
WiskeyANDGin says “early game u cant really beat him , only if he is out of mana, in middle or late game try and ult him to get closer to him. The most important thing is not letting him kite or escape”
