How Do You Guys Deal with Jayce?

not a QQ thread I play top lane for my team. Currently, Jayce dominates the top lane meta, and I've actually been unable to find a single good answer to him. Irelia gets straight up outdamaged and killed (and knocked away if she does start a favorable trade), Rumble and Kennen get annihilated by the efficiency of Maw rush, Gnar has to play the lane on a knife's edge to avoid getting all-inned (and if he falls behind he's dunzo), and Trundle just loses trades left and right and is too easily knocked away when all-inning. The closest thing to an answer that I've found is Poppy, but even she can't stop Jayce, she just scales into a tank while he scales into an insane damage dealer. Am I misunderstanding one of these lanes? Is there a laner I'm not thinking of? Other than banning him, how do you guys deal with Jayce?

Acknowledge that Jayce will always have, and be, a bigger dick than you.
Suffer
Lose

If you've watched Worlds at all, you'd know the answer.

You ban him.

repeated bursts of damage. Force him to disengage and sustain, rinse repeat

people misplay all the time look for those moments anmd make them pay

a jayce who falls behind is easily the most useless champ in the game

Okay... so many noobs here. Let me help you out. Jayce doesn't have a counter pick. So all this talk about pick this champion or that champion is all trash talk. But he does have weak points.

He needs to transform. You can fight him when he has it on cooldown.
He doesn't have an ultimate. In other words, he doesn't have a power spike like other champions at level 6. Fight him at 6.
He builds tear. So he's weak when he builds it as it doesn't give him burst. It gives him sustained harass and late game scaling.
Now, a bunch of you kids cry "Jayce these days don't build tear." Faker builds it. I build it. Everyone who knows how to play this game properly builds it. If Jayce doesn't build tear, then it's just the opposite. Trade with him 2 times or more frequently. He'll be out of mana. You can do this by building tanky.
You can dodge Jayce Q hammer with flash or big dashes.
He has no dash other than Q that he can only use on an enemy.
Let me add one more tip: before he E you away, if you place yourself behind him, VOILA SUDDENLY HE'S IN A BAD SPOT.

I just listed 7 of his weaknesses. Go nuts.

I'd advise Swain.

Preferably another ranged champ or melee with lots of ranged capabilities( Gangplank

If you're a melee with bad options just play the passive farm game and rush item 3512 item 3075 one of these.

Zz'rot will stall him out giving you breathing room with the regen and some ms to weave in and out. Some people have complained that thornmail is trash now but its ratio flat damage is extremely potent early/mid game before anyone has MR this often will change the enemy in trying to avoid contact as they would rather not hurt them-self while poking. In the case of jayce his w just hurts himself more than you'd take damage.

These aren't counters but effective methods I've used to deal with Jayce

You pick aatrox, trade as much as possible, don't let him all in, waste his mana, take tower, ggez

Baby Ghoul10/24/2016, 12:40:19 AM1 votes

Ban him or ask for a teammate to ban him.

Every once in a while it is necessary to ban a certain champ until they are balanced. I don't think many people will deny your request this patch.
