Who Wins
- You lose early trades pre-6 due to Jayce's superior range and poke damage, but can start winning all-ins post-6 with R if you land E and have stacked passive.
- The level 2-3 window is crucial - if Jayce gets level 2 first, he can zone you completely with Q-E combo.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to stack passive on minions, then look for E-Q-W-Q combos when Jayce wastes abilities or steps too close.
- Never trade without passive stacks as your damage output will be insufficient against his burst.
Wave Control
- You want to freeze the wave near your tower early to avoid his poke, then look to crash waves post-6 when you can threaten all-ins.
- Avoid pushing early as it exposes you to his Q-E poke and jungle ganks in the long lane.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use Q to farm without passive stacks or escape plan, as it's your only gap closer and mobility tool.
- Getting caught in melee form without Q available against Jayce's kiting potential is often fatal.
