Laning Against Jayce

Jayce excels at poking down melee champions with his ranged attacks. During laning phase, prioritize XP over CS when necessary to avoid heavy harass. Take advantage of his high mana costs by engaging when his resources are low, as this significantly reduces his combo potential.

Always position yourself behind minions to block his Q damage, but avoid standing directly behind them due to the AOE effect.
