Jayce seems straight up garbage, why do people even pick him

럼블 He can't beat this guy. But everyone bans him game 1 so whatever.

사이온 Sion's tanking is just way more valuable. Jayce can't even meaningfully bully him. Getting 400~500 gold up is already an insane result, and every time I've seen it, he gets ganked once and the game flips.

요릭 Having this guy means topside skirmishes are doomed. The champ gap between Jayce and Yorick is just too massive — laning, side lane, teamfights, everything is a counter.

크산테 This guy also can't be meaningfully pushed around. Similar to Sion — goes up 300 gold in the first lane phase, then it's even after that. At least this guy's late game value is so bad it's playable.

베인 바루스 These two being picked is a disaster.

Even if we leave out a few picks, Sion and Yorick — it's visually obvious the game is hard when they show up. Having top lane use its ban cards on Sion and Yorick is already a massive loss of resources, and for what? To pick a Jayce that can't even carry.

Can't 1v9. He's just a poke bot. Squishy in teamfights — comp stability goes to shit. If there's a Vi or Pantheon on the enemy team, he can't even walk in the side lane, completely dive bait.

Seriously, why???"

    People say the Jayce vs Yorick matchup is skill-based, but I think Yorick just has the advantage.

    1. it's not a skill matchup, it's a straight up hard counter lol. even if laning phase is a skill thing, in a skirmish Jayce gets all his spells blocked, gets wall trapped and dies, and Yorick's tanky too so it's night and day in fights there's probably a reason people always pick Yorick into Jayce on red side

    Isn't it cause in team games you can dive and shut him down during his strong windows? In solo queue you can chunk the enemy down but your team never comes to dive.

    1. Yeah, if anything it's worse in competitive since the champ has zero dive resistance and can't hard carry compared to what you invest in it.

    2. 스피키네르지마세요Zeus himself said today that this champ has no room for error, and even as a blind pick the risk is way too high. The counters that make your life miserable are super obvious too — if you're gonna last pick, you'd honestly be better off going Vayne. I really don't get why anyone would pick Jayce

    3. 스피키네르지마세요if that was the case we wouldn't just see jayce picked on his own most of the time lol usually he's paired with annie to kill isolated side laners, so i guess they just pick him when they're confident in lane
