A drop like this usually traces back to direct nerfs, item changes, or a meta shift toward unfavorable matchups, so respect the counter picks more than you did last patch. At D tier, Jayce is a mains-only pick this patch: expect to out-knowledge opponents rather than out-stat them.

Champion select decides a lot of Jayce Top games. The hardest matchups this patch are Irelia (45.0% win rate for Jayce) and Malphite (45.2% win rate for Jayce): consider banning one or holding your pick until the opponent locks in. On the other side, Yone (50.8%) and Ambessa (50.4%) are the matchups to look for, where Jayce wins the lane more often than not at Emerald+.
