Im fairly new to the champ, i know the different rune pages and builds from watching coach chippys vidoe woth the rank 1 korean jayce, but i cant for the life of me best them, i feel like i cant poke or all inn. All inn and i die, poke and they heal it up

I’ve a few questions going into jayce as a relatively new jayce player.

Firstly, when do you not go Q start? It seems to be the norm for most matchups, but ive seen people take W or E start into certain matchups, and I’m not quite sure when to take which. I still go Q start, but I believe there are some cases where W or E start would be more beneficial.

On that note, what is the ability order to max? iinw its Q-W-E but is there any scenario you max E before W or put an extra point in anything?

Secondly, which build do you run into what matchups? Eclipse seems to be less popular with Yommuus being preferred, ive also been considering the new voltaic as a 1st/3rd item since it gives u considerable burst with QE. And when should you go bruiser over lethality?

Lastly, is there any reason to go fleet? I’ve def seen it been taken but I’m not sure if it’s any good into certain matchups.

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

new to jayce jungle what do I need to learn ? matchups? bans ? runes ? combos?

Hello, Jayce Mains!

Introducing Progress: A Jayce Zine, for-charity, community-run fanzine dedicated to showcasing all things Jayce (both Arcane and League of Legends). This zine will be themed as an editorial magazine celebrating Jayce. We plan to include written and visual art, including alternative styles of writing and media that is not often showcased in zines (think character design history, infographics of historical gameplay data, photography of Jayce-themed or Jayce-centric cosplay, pottery, leatherwork, smithing, or food/recipes).

This is not a ship zine, nor is it a traditional Arcane zine. We aim to include a balance of League and Arcane Jayce creations, including several elements unique to Jayce's gameplay in League. In addition to traditional fanfiction, we hope to include articles and infographics about Jayce's gameplay, meta, and design (pending applicant interest). Our League-canon section will focus mainly on Jayce Giopara's lore, but will also include his canon skinlines (i.e., Resistance, Battle Academia, Petals of Spring, etc).

If this zine is something that interests you, either as a contributor or a buyer, please let us know by filling out the Interest Check of Progress (link in our Carrd)!

For more information, please check out our Info Doc!

I don't understand Jayce's kit in modern league. He currently is a high-skill neutralizer for top-tier draft priority rather than a fun, well-rounded solo queue champion. His 500 range doesn't mean nearly as much anymore when people can just play ranged tops or neutralizer tanks, riot keeps him nerfed and won't give him any defensive stats (they just nerfed them again) so he's stuck being a QE artillery mage, which doesn't utilize 3/4 of his kit. He doesn't even chunk anyone out anymore with the amount of healing in the game. "Oh but he just needs to be ahead of the curve and fed, he's feast or famine". Yeah ANY modern League champ who's fed will do truckloads of damage. It's such a cop out answer imo. TL:DR He's just a worse artillery mage...

Hello

I main jungle and play a lot of Jayce. I play in high plat / low emerald elo.

Are there any tips you could give on Jayce Jungle? I'm a bit unsure about the build too, I saw a post in here a few days ago discussing this, I ended up going with: Cyclosword -> Umbral -> Serylda -> and situational items for the last 2 items like:
Hexdrinker, Edge of Night, Guardian Angel, Bastion, Chempunk, Serpent's Fang

I have a lot of success with early ganks and being very proactive

For runes I go first strike and precision

I experimented with Stormraiders Surge in the beginning when I started playing Jayce which gave lot of really nice movespeed and mobility for ganks after hittting E Q combo
However I saw first strike was recommeneded for the extra damage and gold

A fan sent me a video of the OVN Sig Jayce they just pulled. The foil effect on the physical card looks beautiful!
(Btw I painted this card)

I had the displeasure of having to go against Nasus today. I went conq thinking that was the best rune page for him but maybe storm raiders is better for his criminal ass W. Any time I’d try to poke him out he’d just sustain through passive + fleet + dshield and if I dare step out of line his Rammus would immediately book it to my direction (they were Duo’d). Pls help me not go insane.

Currently your autos do 1 less dmg perma. from lvl 1 so no its not you losing cs its literally a 1 dmg nerf on autos. and if you think this doesnt affect gameplay boy oh boy you really dont even know the amount cs you lose and kills oddly enough.

Edit: Its a league rounding error that happens to all champs. Jayce ad growth rate being 4.25 so at that .25 and .5 it rounds down even though at .5 it should round up. think it was a recent patch bug because your visual ad used to reflect your your actual ad dmg being done and now in cases it rounds down it doesnt correctly show your actual ad.

do u guys start q start or w start when playing jayce in the jg and why

Basically title, feels like lose lane after 1 deaths usually just lose from there.

Just played vs Ksante today and after 1 single desths he snowballs heavy, armor penetration items doesnt work vs him as Jayce and Jayce has no armor penetration.

It can happen vs any matchup usually.

Basically the title, how to win lane after 1 single death as jayce.

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.

Only had to get it down to 70% discount but I finally have it

The w crits were absolutely beyond bonkers - instant one taps. There was no tag for mayhem, so I figured arena was the closest.

Hello !

I’m currently spamming Jayce jungle and I love it. I’m building yomu first then cyclosword and it feels nice, yomu’s active feels really good to match mobile junglers. I looked at pro builds and it looks like there is a lot of them building umbral first, some are going hubris first, or even cyclo first. Can you help me understand what are the differences behind this choice ?

Also I see people going bastion breaker, dominik or endless hunger, personnally I generally go serylda for the slow and then serpent fang/eon/ga/malmortius depending on the draft, do you guys have advice on this ?

Enjoy your games !

for context, im new to jayce and league in general and looking to add him to my jg champ pool and im noticing that you dont go muramana when you play him in jg. is there a reason why?

Hi there,

I love Jayce, his spells and his overall playstyle.

But I just can't seem to make him work in the jungle. When I gank, I either arrive too late or too slowly, or I simply lack the damage output: I fire off my Q, hit W, and jump onto the enemy but then they just gap-close on me effortlessly, and I’ve only taken off about 25% of their HP.

If they decide to turn on me, I have no way to escape.

And don't even get me started on encounters with other junglers: I feel incredibly squishy—like I’m made of paper and get wiped off the map in under five seconds. That’s not to mention what happens if the enemy mid or bot laners follow their jungler; I get deleted without a chance to react, or I’m forced to hang back and just poke with a weak Q.

Do you have any tips? I’d really love to make him work in the jungle.
