Jayce could need some help

UkeNeverSeme··4 votes·542 views

Essence Reaver sounded super hype for Jayce here in the preseason, and i tried playing it and failed miserably. It just seemed like i was doing nothing, as well as having no wave clear to stall until later when Jayce undeniably will be strong. Now I'm watching Godbro (one of the highest ELO players on EUW) streaming, and he tried out the same thing, and had the same exact reaction.

Wondering if something could be dont? Maybe give him some passive Apen in some form or another (i mean he could smash armour with that hammer xD), cause it just seems like the current items force him into a lot of mediocre choices if he wants Apen. Which, let's face it he needs to function.

Giving armor penetration to his QE combo could work, he definitely needs some love atm.

He doesn't need a buff just item compensation for the lw nerf which I posted a link for.

Jayce is trash tier atm but bronzies can't play against poke champions so he can't get buffs.

jayce is borderline broken he doesnt need more buffs lmfao hes one of the highest damaging Adcs right now

Just because you don't know how to build a champ doesn't mean hes bad

  1. He is not ADC. No, deft playing him doesnt make him ADC
  2. Classic build doesnt work. ER/IE neither (also confirmed by Bjergsen). The only other thing i could think of is all Arpen items, but i doubt it. How do u suggest the build?
  3. His winrate is 44%. He IS broken, just in the wrong direction :( do u have a game where he seemed OP?

Adc and marksman are not the same thing yi is a adc but not a marksman

The new way to build jayce is to build him as a assassin manamune crit ad armor pen

Hes underplayed not underpowered

he is the strongest non marksman adc right now the only people who can beat him are graves and a yasuo who gets lucky with windwall

he was balanced before they massively buffed him Now all of his abilitys deal massive amounts of damage instead of only his w which still deals high amounts of damage

W+manamura+crit will delete squishys and shred tanks and he has very strong poke and all in

He is the best laning adc atm yasuo will lose fights 100% of the time without windwall or having starting the fight with his ult

yea he just needs 5 million items before he spikes? he has a huge 3 item power spike. Guess what, most games are over by then.

Several High tier players (Bjergsen and Godbro are two of the best mechanical midlaners ever to come out of the EU region) have both said they think jayce is bad atm ? Sorry but I'll take their words, and my own experience over your unfounded statement.

He needs armor pen (% base ar pen?) on his acc shockblast. Maybe give Q almost the same dmg as live QE, and let E make the Q ignore 30% armor? Also make his Hyper Charge deal 70/80/90/100/110/120% AD instead of the awkward numbers now

Also, please fix Full Metal Jayce's voice - its the original jayce voice since 5.22 :(

reading this thread was kind of painful

maybe you just shouldn't build essence reaver on him. my friend builds tear --> ghostblade most games and he hasn't had trouble succeeding
