Introduction
Welcome to my Jayce guide. In case you didn't read the title, this is a solo top build for Jayce. This guide is unique in some ways from most Jayce guides, but it is also has some elements that are quite similar to other guides. Please refrain from downvoting me without reading my whole guide, but don't be afraid to explain your reasoning for your distaste for my guide. I would like to hear constructive criticism.
I don't want to waste too much of your time with a boring intro because you will have an in depth guide to read along with plenty of games to play after you finish reading this guide. I hope you find my guide insightful and enlightening.

Primary Runes
- greater mark of desolation: Although Jayce has armor pen built into his ult, he still needs more armor pen than the amount he has in his ult already. These runes should help you if the opponent has an armor based build and the marks will help you late game against opponents with a large amount of armor.
Greater Seal of Armor: Flat armor for early game which is very effective for most solo top champions. The seals provide more protection to help deal with being squishy early game. The boost in armor could be the difference between life or death in the early stages of the game.
Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist: These runes are helpful late game considering that you don't have an item that has a high amount of magic resist such as
Banshee's Veil or
Force of Nature. The glyphs tend to be considered a viable option for most champions and most games regardless of your item choices.
Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage: The quintessences are a nice choice for extra damage early game. They will help you farm and they will add bonus attack damage to your spells late game. These runes also have synergy with the armor pen runes you have.
Alternative Runes
Greater Mark of Attack Damage: A good rune choice if you chose to have your quintessences be doing the armor pen. I do not recommend having both the mark slots and the quintessence slots filled with flat attack damage, but if you already have those types of runes and you don't feel like buying more, it's not a bad option.
Greater Glyph of Magic Resist: Magic resist runes are a must in this build because this build doesn't give you a lot of magic resist through items. I prefer the
Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist over the glyph of warding because the magic resist is not as essential early game like armor is. The glyph of warding is not that bad of an alternative if you already purchased this glyph instead of the shielding glyphs.
Greater Quintessence of Health: I wouldn't choose this type of quintessence unless my main purpose was to tank because of a squishy team. Armor pen or attack damage are more important than adding more health with runes if you already have a good tank/support.
- greater quintessence of desolation: Similar to what I said about the
Greater Mark of Attack Damage, you should be shooting for both armor pen and flat damage. I would not recommend, however, to have armor pen on both of your marks and quintessences.
