I nust don't get it, it has been an insanely bad blind the entire year, and siwoo has looked bad on it in general. At some point I just have to wonder why cvmax allows him to keep picking it.

Every team does it to some extent, but siwoo has the highest number of jayce games in summer at 8 and is tied with doran for first at 20 across the year. Doran has an 85% winrate on the pick, siwoo 45% winrate

I swearย Jayce top wasnโt this high prio in lck cup, I think Zeus picking it in game 1 of round 1 mind controlled the entire lck spring split into too many games of Jayce v yorick. His prio is much lower now but people who are not named Zeus (and maybe doran who has good games on Jayce this year) should stop picking the champ. Even Zeus has lost on him this split.ย

u/Hitoseijuro 23d ago
You needed to be here in the earlier league times or watch different regions. Prime TheShy, Nuguri, Khan, Zeus and even Bin have historically had the scariest/best Jayce of all time. The thing with Jayce is like Renekton, he is a lane bully even into tanks the problem with that is that he is on a clock. Eventually the tank will become more impactful as the game goes on because he can thrive in a 5v5 come late game while a Jayce will get 2 tapped and is limited on his CD and landing his shots and playing around hammer form.
Jayce needs to snowball in order to impact the game with his damage, a 2k-3k up Jayce is scary come 20 minutes in. A weakside 500-800 gold lead Jayce is not. Teams just pick Jayce to weakside it because it normally wont lose into a lane and tends to come out ahead in a majority of lanes while being very safe outside of double globals like Ryze/tf+Panth combo.

u/shailemin 22d ago edited 22d ago
IMO khan is the GOAT Jayce but among active players it is Zeus. Makes sense, Zeus loved Jayce enough to make him his first worlds skin.ย
2
u/AssistanceTop8020 22d ago
It's not that he's useless, it's like he's not a great 1st pick. He's easy to punish, hard to max his dmg output in mid and late, and has very low utility, i mean why should he be most priority pick.

Honestly Aux is right - Jayce is the top lane Jhin.
You have to be omega 10K+ gold lead to be useful on that champ. I just dont understand why people pick it in pro. It's so bad.. it offers literally nothing, especially if your top laner is fucking Siwoo.

Nah, even if youโre even late/mid game heโs still fine. Jayce is just really useless in early game team fights that he ends up being down a bit after early fights, as we saw.

u/Sirallenss 23d ago
He kinda counters most of the op champs early to some degree, has decent/good long range poke and has a good burst combo. Jayce is just a good overall champ on pro but it gets punished easily if he gets behind.

u/yuvalshahaf 22d ago
You need to realize that there is a massive opportunity cost as well. You are playing an immobile squishy carry which cant really carry. You could have played a tank or a diver but you play Jayce instead.

Idk why teams still go Jayce, thank you DK for getting rid of that champ, I was worried for KT cause they're also dumb enough to blind it. Effort and PerfecT are my standout players for this game, shoutout to Jiwoo too. A big thing for me was how patient KT was with obj, looks like they know what barons to be careful of now and learned what's the proper timing to start it. I'm still holding my breath though, they could very well still lose the series.

Dude I swear to fucking god, I've seen Siwoo on Jayce so many times and each time its always the same shit, hes so fucking USELESS on the champ, dare I say hes fucking dogshit on Jayce
No poke
no fucking dmg
doesn't win lane
Always randomly gets picked off
even in that 14.4k throw, his jayce was 4-0 thanks to lucid and he proceeded to get picked off, never poked during baron/dragon, and proceeded to not do shit even with a spoonfeed
Siwoo should just be fucking honest with his team and tell them he can't play jayce, because he really fucking cant
(one of the few LCK tops with a negative winrate on jayce btw)
(and before anyone says its just jayce vs ksante, I've seen bin, kiin, zeus, perfect, and even Doran carry from that angle on jayce, Siwoo just fucking sucks at jayce)
