Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 to Jayce's superior range and mobility, struggling to match his poke damage despite your passive sustain.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R execute, but Jayce still controls the lane tempo and can disengage from your all-in attempts.
How to Trade
- Your best trading occurs when Jayce enters hammer form - immediately Q to interrupt his combo and follow with W-E for maximum damage.
- Focus on short, decisive trades rather than extended poke wars where his range advantage becomes overwhelming.
Wave Control
- You should focus on farming safely and using Q to secure minions from range when poked low.
- Let Jayce push into you where possible, as you farm well under tower and become less vulnerable to his poke while gaining gank setup potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on minions when Jayce is in position to trade, as this removes your only reliable engage and interrupt tool.
- Avoid chasing extended trades in open lane where Jayce can kite you with ranged form and hammer E, as you'll take more damage than you deal.
