if im against a tanky team and im top do i buy dusk blade, or settle for black cleaver

Tanky teams are pretty rare at the moment. Usually people get fairly beefy from Tabi/Resolve/Health and are bruisers instead of tanks. In that case you still go DB second.

Against proper tanky players (with a full armour item at the least) then yes you'll go cleaver second and instead get duskblade third.

thanks, also what are some of his worst counters?

Innately tanky champions who can survive or return his level of poke.

Lissandra and Urgot probably stand out as the biggest 2 problems.

Lissandra forces Jayce to buy magic resistance and maybe a QSS whilst also going aftershock to become really hard to kill. In lane she's ranged as well so isn't as susceptible to poke like other matchups.

Urgot just has so much presence in lane and can have both TP and Ignite (thanks to spellbook) making it very difficult to shut him down and all in him.

Do you think Dark Harvest is viable in Jayce? Great guide btw.

It's ok, but Aery/Electrocute are better.

When it got reworked initally it was much better because and would proc it, making it very easy to proc on Jayce. However with the removal of that, the nerfs to damage and general power shift Aery/Electrocute are better.

Hey, how come that even tough dorans blade is his starter item you never recommend that against any of his matchups?

(57) |

It's a one size fits all starting item. I without a doubt should add it to the text portion of the guide and i'll be doing so next patch.

The matchups section has all the specific best starting options, but DBlade is good into everyone but isn't often the best into anyone.

is he mechanically hard?

(57) |

In my opinion, yes. He's not the hardest (Draven/Azir/GP/Yasuo are harder when balanced) but he's for sure up there.

I'd rate him a 8/10 if 1/10 is sona, 5/10 is Lucian, 10/10 is Azir.

The guide is great. Unfortunately in silver this is only good for winning laning fase, I can't manage to carry any game as Jayce (probably my fault).

Very helpful guide thanks for helping me

What do you think of BOTRK on Jayce? Would you build it and in the case that you would buy it in which matchups?

When do you build Tear ?

(57) |

Personally? Very rarely. I think proper mana management from W and just not spamming spells 24/7 makes tear less useful.

However I do buy it in games where I'm the only teams waveclear AND im against a tank top. (So I'm vs a Maokai and my team has a fizz mid, ADC Draven and jungle rek'sai for example) so I'm our teams poke and wave clear, then the mana is needed to perm spam Q E.

Excelente guia, acredito que o Jayce ainda é um campeão que vai além da minha capacidade, por eu ser um jogador inexperiente ainda tenho certo dificuldade para pegar as mecânicas dos campeões, ou seja, se um jogador normal pega a mecânica do Ekko em 20 partidas eu precisaria de 50 para começar a entender o campeão, levando isso em conta acredito que irei ter muita dificuldade com o Jayce. Lá vai a pergunta:
1- De 0 a 10 qual o nivel de dificuldade do Jayce? entre o Jayce e o Ekko qual o mais difícil de aprender a jogar de maneira geral?

(57) |

I don't speak portuguese, but if google translate is somewhat accurate I get most of what you're saying.

Thanks for the kind words about the guide, I appreciate it. is indeed a fairly difficult champion to pick up, with the way his kit intertwines with itself it basically means you need to learn a highly mechanical champion with a second kit (so 1.5x harder than usual). It's totally normal to take 40+ games to actually get a good basis for Jayce. It took me 20 normals in a row before I took him to ranked, then I played him only on my smurf for 50-60 games until I started to win lane then once I did that I would play him on any account. So that's at least 70 games to learn him.

From 1-10, I'd say he's a 7 or 8. With the depth of his forms and different ways to use his kit he's not easy to pick up, but with basic understanding of auto spacing you can abuse his range to win toplane without much skill.

Compared to Ekko (whom I also play a lot of) they're probably as difficult as each other to master, but Jayce is harder to pick up and learn. Ekko has the benefit of when all is said and done, he can buy cheap items and has a reset button on his ult. Of course, a good Ekko will use his ult for damage but it's still good safety. Jayce has the power of his lane to lean back on, but that's harder to abuse than Ekko.

I'd say Jayce is harder than Ekko, but Ekko isn't easy either.

Obrigado mais uma vez, você ensina muito bem, as minhas duvidas foram tiradas, assim que eu comprar o Jayce o seu guia vai ser a minha base para aprender com ele, por enquanto minhas únicas duvidas foram essa, mas tenha certeza que assim que eu começar a jogar com ele venho aqui tirar as inúmeras duvidas que vou ter. Mais uma vez obrigado pelo guia, tava precisando de um guia que explicasse com perfeição os pontos fortes e fracos do Jayce para que eu pudesse jogar contra ele com mais facilidade. Graças a você a minha fase de rotas contra um Jayce ficou bem mais fácil e sobre controle.
