How to play it

Dodge cannon poke
A good Jayce perma-spaces and chips you down with cannon-form Q before you can touch him: don't get poked.
Short trades after 4
Survive to level 4, then take short trades: that's your window once your kit is online.
Run from his counter
When he swaps to hammer form, run from his E knockback: don't stand in it trading.
Never chase him into his spacing: a good Jayce just kites back and pokes you out, so farm safely instead.
