How to play it
DO
Respect his knockback
If you try to jump on him he'll just E you away and blast you afterwards — one of the strongest pre-6 lane bullies in the game, so don't force it early.
Play passive pre-6
Start Doran's Shield and play passive — there isn't much you can do about his lane bullying other than wait until you hit 6 or he misplays.
Fight around 6
Jayce has no level 6 powerspike unlike most champions — look to fight around 6 if you're confident, or wait for your Tabis + Phantom Dancer.
DON'T
Never try to jump on Jayce pre-6 — he hammers you away with his E and blasts you with Q, and he's one of the strongest lane bullies in the game.
