Newb Jayce, PLZ HELP! No advice is too dumb.

Greetings Fellow Summoners,

I'm brand spanking new to Jayce. I would like to have a more reliable top lane or mid lane pick. I was wondering if there were any things about Jayce. I'm not quite sure if there are any combos to be aware of besides gate + shock blast. What pros to watch for tips? Any build paths that work better than others?

From the few games I've played he seems like a fun champion, and as we all know he's a force to reckon with. Thank you in advance for any advice or help that you might provide. Good luck in solo queue!

Here's some tips:

  1. Instead of E then Q'ing, try Q THEN E'ing. Most of the time, your opponent will not be able to react fast enough to dodge it.
  2. Before pressing W, auto attack right before. So it should give you 4 auto attacks at max speed (press W the second you auto).
  3. Jayce can poke decently during the laning phase, but don't go out of your way to poke unless you can inflict good damage to your opponent. If you're not sure what to do, just farm up for the mid or late game.
  4. I normally go: item 3070 > item 3134 >item 3004 > boots of choice ( i like item 3158 ) > item 3035 > item 3142 item 3072 last item either item 3071 /item 3026 . You can switch the order after boots according to your preference.

Kind of old but still applies. Also there are alot of different builds you can go for. I personally like to get a high amount of early cooldown reduction and mana regen on jayce when I play him so I go item 3070 >item 1001 >item 3134 item 3004 item 3158 item 3142 And I think that is pretty standard. after that you can try a few different things, I sometimes like to go item 3031 afterwards because of the synergy between item 3031 and item 3142 but you can try out anything. It's all preference and the best way to get better at jayce would just be to practice

If you're playing mid, due to the nature of the meta, your opponents will be a lot squishier (pre-6) compared to toplane. So remember that you deal a ton of damage with your combos and most people aren't used to Jayce in general, so you can surprise and destroy your opponent quite frequently. Being aggressive* on Jayce in the midlane is the way to go, while you need to be a lot more defensive and farm-oriented* in toplane.

  • Still depends on the lane match-up.
