Who Wins

  • You lose pre-6 to Jayce's range and poke but can win all-ins at levels 1-2 if you land E pull.
  • Post-6 you gain kill pressure through R execute, but still struggle with his mobility and range advantage.

How to Trade

  • Your best trading requires landing E pull into W auto-reset, then Q outer ring for maximum damage and heal.
  • Only commit to extended trades when you have 3+ passive stacks or when Jayce wastes his hammer E.

Wave Control

  • You need to freeze the wave near your tower to force Jayce into dangerous positions for CS.
  • Accept some early CS losses to maintain wave control - getting pulled into bad recalls gives Jayce permanent priority.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't chase Jayce through his acceleration gate as the speed boost makes him uncatchable.
  • Never use Q for waveclear when Jayce is in range to punish - save it for all-in attempts or sustain.
