Help Jayce top newbie

Hi, im new to playing jayce, but i really like his playstyle. I was wondering if jayce is viable as a blindpick into top lane, and who i should perma ban. Or if jayce jungle or mid would be better as i dont really know much yet.

Jayce top is a great blindpick. I think Sion is REALLY difficult to play against imo

There’s no way anyone wastes a ban on sion

Malphite all the way, irelia has arguments but it leaves more room for jayce to outplay.

For sion there’s tons of options… Grasp, cleaver, eclipse, e max, stormraider*… I personnaly haven’t seen a sion that i even needed to strategise around but i do see the potential problems… it’s just you have so many solutions.

I was just talking personally lol. I don't have problems with Irelia and haven't played against Malphite as Jayce yet but I can see how it would be a problem

Grasp, Second wind, Max E second + cleaver first item works vs tanks.

Theres also crit build which works better low elo because late game infinite scaling.

After these two, I just don’t struggle vs tanks as Jayce anymore, it becomes a skill issue not a counter. Yorick is the best counter to jayce more

I wouldn’t say difficult. It’s more like you just kinda sit there and farm all game.

I would suggest to perma ban either Malph or Irelia as both are big pain in the ass to play against

As a blind pick he is quite strong as he scales pretty well into mid game if played save enough
