You say "armor penetration Jayce" like that's not been his build path for every season he's been around.

But to answer your question, Jayce is a lane bully. Play safe, perhaps play a tank that can provide utility for your team to counter his damage.

Alternatively, play another fighter if you're comfortable with it and shut him down in lane.

He used to use manamune stacking a tear early. Now it's always black cleaver into ghostblade.

I personally think that's just a flavor build. Manamune still scales better into the late game.

Armor pen in general is annoying to play against. Doesn't matter if its an assassin,adc, or whatever jayce is considered. I hope riot looks at their items before they start gutting champs. Not saying jayce doesn't need to be toned down (haven't seen him much myself) but I would hate for another sej incident to happen.

Stay behind you minions and purchase boots early to avoid his skill shots. He has massive AD burst, but it drains his mana early. He gains additional power shortly after switching weapons; so, engage some seconds after he changes out and has used one or two of his abilities.

Are you melee?

Then you don't get to actually play the game, sorry

That's not true in the slightest. You don't have to kill him to play the game.

You could just pick malphite and trump him for utility in later game team fights for instance.

lmao. am guessing the response your gonna get "umm don't fight him in lane"

basically every meta champion atm dominates lane and is unbeatable in an interactive way

Armor Pen Jayce? Does he have another build? Jayce is a lane bully, he's very strong early game thanks to him having double your abilities and having strong poke, start with Doran shield, play safe, don't try to trade early levels, don't understimate his damage in melee form.
