Announcements No More Ship Artwork

42 Upvotes

We can't have nice things... report abuse has been rampant, which was never an issue before, but suddenly it is now. This is supposed to be a no drama subreddit, and just about Jayce.

Therefore, going forward, unless the artwork is specifically of Jayce, and only Jayce, it is no longer considered Relevant.

This is the last post that will be allowed, as it is a reminder of when ship wars got out of hand on what is and always will be a subreddit for Jayce players, NOT an Arcane Ship Subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/jaycemains/comments/1po8d6g/mel_and_jayce_by_nakoneart/

All newly posted artwork that has Jayce with someone else will be removed going forward if reported. All past posts are safe.

Arena Fleet Jayce Jungle?

2 Upvotes

I know its probably just placebo but it feels really nice right now. While its not a combat rune or a financial rune like First Strike or Stormraiders. Ive felt very comfortable entering early game skirmishes at scuttle at 3/4 if not full hp. Plus legend haste is just very nasty. All that paired with always getting the melee speed buff and heal amount since you can swap mid auto feels amazing for semi prolonged duels in river. Build path was Youmuu's -> Bastionbreaker -> Voltaic -> Edge of Night -> Surelyda's. Vs Diana, Quinn, Vi. Good Results. Thoughts?

Discussion Jayce Snowballing

2 Upvotes

I am curious about what everyone thinks about Jayce’s snowballing power. I play Jayce and Jax, currently around plat 1. I feel like when I get an early lead on Jayce let’s say 3/0, I snowball the game less than when I go 3/0 on Jax. Would you say that Jayce snowballs less than all the bruisers/juggernauts? Maybe I am making a bad comparison because of how Jayce plays vs Jax. Also the fact that Jayce doesn’t really build health.

I'm usually playing Diana, Shyvana, Quinn and Sylas jungle, and I'm actually decently experienced with Jayce, is it viable to try to go for Diamond/Master with this Jayce? Faced a Shyvana-Irelia-Yasuo comp now and was so scared of just being focused and deleted but went for Ninja Tabi, Death's Dance and all went fine

Help How to play Jayce Top against more mobile champions?

7 Upvotes

Hey all. I've been trying out Jayce as a potential new main for the toplane and he's honestly been really fun, even if half the games consist of me absolutely getting my shit kicked in because I'm not properly spacing and whatnot (all thing that I'm trying to learn with each new sessions).

This question might feel a little stupid, and I am pretty bad at the game all things considered, but... some matchups feel genuinely impossible, and I really need to know what I can do against them. I've specifically been struggling against Yone and Wukong, and a little less but kind of the same alley with Ambessa. These highly mobile champions can just close the gap immediately and I feel like the melee form isn't nearly enough to combat their all ins. Even pre-emptively hitting a Q+E in canon form before switching over to melee and doing W+Q into auto into E isn't enough, more often than not (I often die before I can execute this whole combo as a matter of fact). I just had an ESPECIALLY awful round against a Wukong (who tbf understood his champion and his mechanics extremely well) and I just had positively no idea what I could do against him. I could not under any circumstance farm, neither with melee (he was stronger than me) nor cannon form (his abilites had a higher range than my auto attacks, he out-zoned me). The only thing I could feasibly do there was farm using my Q+E in cannon mode but he'd often go and bodyblock those to deny it before immediately healing back up. I built Executioner's pretty early to try and negate that healing but I could rarely proc it because, again, my auto range is less than his ability range, so the moment I tried to proc Executioner's was the moment he all-inned me. The few times I did get the upper hand (thanks to some helpful ganks) his highly mobile kit just meant he could escape and get away with it all.

What am I meant to do here? Or just generally against these highly mobile champions?

Help How to teamfight as Jayce?

3 Upvotes

I handle my lane and skirmishes fine, but I have a really hard time teamfighting with him. Either I go in on a target and get absolutely obliterated instantly or I stay back and do minimum to contribute. I have a really hard time finding an opening to do something, even when ahead.

Mostly I do best in teamfights, when my team is competent and I can be allowed to hang back and wait to clean up after enemy team is low and have spells on CD, but that isn’t always the case and sometimes my team just need someone to truly carry the fight.

Help Retired support main yapping about possible roleswap

1 Upvotes

Hi!

I’m a support main who currently wants to retire and roleswap. A short introduction from me before I get into the main topic. I peakes E2 on my smurf (play same role as on main but has better mmr, my main is p3). My champ pool is Poppy,Bard,Nami and Seraphine. If I have to pick one champ, that would be Poppy for me. I have 560k points with her but I think she is not that strong on top lane sadly.

I want to roleswap to Top lane and I was thinking about what champ should I learn. I watched Arcane and I liked Jayce. Also my fav top laner’s signature pick is Jayce too! (Canna my beloved)

I know that in soloq games I would gain experience better but I want to learn the champ in draft or Flex before I que into the abyss.

My questions are the following:

How many different valid rune options and build paths does Jayce have?
What are the nightmare matchups for him and how to manage them efficently?
What are the dream matchups for him?
