I main Jayce, and I have tried different builds against Yi, but he still just does too much damage.
I have tried these builds and theyve all failed.
I had a bit of success with the first one, but he still did 90% of my health before i killed him. And that was under tower.

GeminiRune1 votesNot gonna lie. Probably the funniest comment I've read for a question I wondered myself.

If it's late game this isn't possible. There is not a single scenario where Jayce can beat Master Yi 1v1 when both are full build, which is what OP seems to be implying. Jayce could have three infernals, baron, and elder dragon, and the fight could be under Jayce's turret. Master Yi would still probably win.
The champions just scale differently. Yi scales considerably better, especially as a duelist.

Why would you be 1v1ing?
PermabannedGaren1 votesWhy would you be 1v1ing?
Why are you asking me? Ask the OP. Though frankly Yi is also stronger in team fights. Jayce is a bad joke late game.
ItsOrval1 votesCant, he ults, Q's on you (making you unable to target him of course), then 3 hits im at 10% health
EndlessSorcerer3 votesDon't duel a duelist; you are just playing to his strengths.
Group up, lock him down as a team and kill him whenever he tries to contribute.
Sky of Smiles2 votesYi will kill Jayce when he's in Highlander mode which lasts for 7 seconds.
If Yi shows up and Alpha Strikes a minion wave with you nearby, you have anywhere from 14-5 seconds to abuse your range on him cause that is his primary gap closer.
You'll need to use Acceleration Gate to keep your distance from him especially if he uses Highlander to gap close. If he does get close to you with either Highlander speed or Alpha Strike, you need to be in Hammer form and use Thundering Blow to keep your distance from him.
- this doesn't help you vs Master Yi
- same as above
- this is the best item you can get on Jayce vs Master Yi. Do not use the active until after Master Yi's Highlander mode ends.
Assuming he burns Alpha on a minion wave and then tries to get close to you with his Highlander ulti, you have like 2seconds before he can Alpha towards you. You need to pop Accel Gate during the Alpha animation (if he does manage to Alpha towards you because you didn't Gate away fast enough) and then Hammer form to use Thundering Blows on him (this will do a small chunk of damage to him). This will give you another 2 seconds.
Switch modes whenever you can as that will also boost your speed a little. The key to this fight is to stall out his Highlander ulti by keeping your distance. Since you're buying in each of your builds, I assume that's like your core as opposed to having 
which means you'll have a speed active to help in this strat.
At most, you will basically have to deal with two Alphas. If he is all-in'ing you to chase you with everything he has, then like vs Riven (although bigger windows), you retaliate when all his shit is burned. Your final mode after surviving Yi with this approach should be Cannon form. Orb walk with or without W, EQ his face and chase him down, Hammer his face in, whatever. If you bought Randuins + Ninja Tabi, you can kill him if he couldn't do much vs you when he was in Highlander mode.
tl;dr: Abuse CDs, speed ups/downs, and range.

As I said, you essentially don't. You can not beat Master Yi by yourself late game as Jayce, or as most champions, and you are not meant to be able to itemize against Yi's damage. He has, bar none, the best DPS in the game.

Captain obvious here, want more advice? Work with your jungler and invade/ward him early game. As a jayce you shouldnt be letting the game go to late either. Anymore obvious stuff we need to tell them

I don't need any advice friend. I'm a Yi main, I don't play Jayce.
KVbqbFsC8e1 votesAs far as lategame goes, you don't. Yi will easily 1v1 any champion who doesn't have hard CC.

I'm reasonably sure that Tryndamere can beat Yi late game. Yi's might if he can kite Tryndamere's ult out with his MS boost, but I honestly doubt it can be done against a competently built Tryndamere.
The Sword Saint1 votesI'm pretty sure it was demonstrated a while ago that yi wins all of these full build 1v1s between lategame carries like trynd, jax, fiora, yi when you have two master+ players. For trynd he would just burst down trynd and disengage with his ult until trynds ult ran off, then come back and kill him since yi cant be slowed by trynds shout when ulting. He also has the option of meditate tanking some of trynds damage. It turns out that the mathchup isn't even remotely close if trynd doesn't come to the fight with rage fully stacked, and even then if yi and trynd both took combat summoners trynd gets fucked by exhaust which doesn't work on yi.

Where? And what did they build?
For trynd he would just burst down trynd
Tryndamere bursts harder unless Yi goes for a crit build, and if Yi goes for a crit build he's going to be killed in two or three auto attacks by Tryndamere.
and disengage with his ult until trynds ult ran off, then come back and kill him since yi cant be slowed by trynds shout when ulting.
Tryndamere's E with 40% CDR has a 5 second cooldown, which means that, against melee opponents, the cooldown is effectively zero since Yi can't escape Tryndamere before it's up again, and combined with phage if he goes black cleaver he should be able to stick on Yi IMO. Though I haven't played in a while and cleaver might not be so hot on Tryndamere anymore.
He also has the option of meditate tanking some of trynds damage.
This much is true.
It turns out that the mathchup isn't even remotely close if trynd doesn't come to the fight with rage fully stacked,
Tryndamere at full build has 85% crit right off the bat. He needs less than half of his fury bar to be full. He is not likely to miss a crit.
By contrast, Yi actually does need to stack his guinsoo's rageblade for maximum effectiveness.
and even then if yi and trynd both took combat summoners trynd gets fucked by exhaust which doesn't work on yi.
No, but ignite does, given his relatively low health and his reliance on drain-tanking. Yi would also be deprived of flash, unless you're saying that Yi is going to forgo smite and deprive himself of bloodrazor and red smite?
The Sword Saint1 votesIt was a forum thread from a while ago that also linked some example youtube videos of people attempting the matchup. I'd link it if I had it off hand.
Mechanics aside however it sounds like it's pointless to even discuss this without an agreed upon optimal current meta build for the fight for each of the champions.

Sure is. I would not be surprised if this video was from before CDR Tryndamere became a thing.

Nah, Yi well built destroys Trynd. Just meditate through Trynd's ult. + 70% damage reduction is enough to survive a full crit Trynd with 
. And Trynd has no interest in building tanky as Yi is the best tankmelter in the game
Yi can go

and cross your fingers that your team comes to the rescue.
Papa Andrei1 votesWell honestly, you can't our dps him without full crit w max. Bursting him only works if he went full as crit squishy.
So basically to fight him 1v1 you need Siege mode Jayce and to find him first. Poke jim down and Q hammer run away. If you can't kill him with Siege mode, you are cucked
The Sword Saint1 votesIf you're both at 6 items you have already lost and there's no point trying to 1v1 him.
ItsOrval1 votesEven early game I lose against him when he gets . He dove my tower and killed me, and the tower doesnt target him when he presses Q.
Guyy Fieri1 votesThornmail?? Or even Randuin Omen. Sure it's not ideal on Jayce but if you need to be able to solo kill a yi late game, that's your answer
Commando Yi1 voteswhy are you trying to 1v1 a melee duelist as a ranged burst/poke champion?
ItsOrval1 votesNot trying to 1v1 him. I will be under my tower and a wild Yi comes in with an ult, Qs me, then killds me in 4 hits with only 2 items.

if you thought you were safe as a lone squishy under tower during the late game then you don't quite understand how the game works yet
there is a very very large list of champions who will kill you much quicker than yi for a mistake like that during the late game and there is nothing you can do about it once you've put yourself in that position

Its not late game.
