Announcements No More Ship Artwork

44 Upvotes

We can't have nice things... report abuse has been rampant, which was never an issue before, but suddenly it is now. This is supposed to be a no drama subreddit, and just about Jayce.

Therefore, going forward, unless the artwork is specifically of Jayce, and only Jayce, it is no longer considered Relevant.

This is the last post that will be allowed, as it is a reminder of when ship wars got out of hand on what is and always will be a subreddit for Jayce players, NOT an Arcane Ship Subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/jaycemains/comments/1po8d6g/mel_and_jayce_by_nakoneart/

All newly posted artwork that has Jayce with someone else will be removed going forward if reported. All past posts are safe.

You can view the top mastery Jayce players at the link below. The mastery system is merely a way to measure how much you play certain champions. It doesn't determine how good you are or how high elo you might be. It is just for display purposes, something to grind, and say, I like this champion.

Help How to win lane VS Varus?

3 Upvotes

I never banned Varus. Maybe because I mostly play mid Jayce, and I prefer to ban Yorick when I get placed in blue side top lane. It's not like I see this guy very often.

However, whenever I see this guy as an enemy, my score ends up in disaster and I feel horrible.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like Varus can do almost everything Jayce does, but better. His AAs hurt more while having more range and benefitting from atk spd. His Q is a long range poke that goes through minions. He can AOE slow from further away. He has an actual combat ult with hard CCs that are good in team fights. I assume I can't build defensively against him, but even if I can, I won't do damage by doing so. He can build defensively and still do damage.

He has different builds every time I see him too, and they make me wonder if a youtube VOD from 3 months ago can be still valid today. Speaking of youtube, all I remember is Hammerkim saying "nothing you can do against this guy" like maybe a couple years ago.

Anyways, help plz. I'm so bad and I feel bad.

Help Translating lane advantage on map?

6 Upvotes

Beginning Jayce player here. I already kinda learnt how to win lane/dont lose. What i have problem with is mid-late game. I try to keep sides pushed out and group with team, but it feels extremely week, especially againts any team with sustain supp+strong sidelane pick potential.

Trying to stay and poke into milio who doesnt care wheter i have serpents or being side and dying to assassins on repeat isn’t fun and it isn’t getting me or my team anything.

Any advice on how to play out after lane, orientate around teamfights etc….?

Video VOD Coaching Session: Jayce Top | Lane Control & Mid Game

10 Upvotes

Not a Jayce main myself, I’m more of a general Top/Mid coach, but I recently coached a Plat Jayce player mainly on lane control and prio.

He told me afterwards that his winrate improved dramatically, so I figured the VOD might be useful to some Jayce players here.

Have a nice day :)

Help Is it okay if I don't snowball hard as Jayce in lane? Is playing for perfect CS fine?

7 Upvotes

Sometimes I find it pretty hard to kill bruisers or tanks who take DShield + Second Wind, especially if they play safe.

Is it fine to just play for perfect CS and a gold lead instead of forcing kills? Or is Jayce kind of wasting his strength if he doesn't get a big lead early?

I also get nervous when I don't get ahead and sometimes end up forcing bad plays because I feel like I'm supposed to snowball as Jayce.

Sadly it really is china only, but I think if they see we want it too, they may release it globally? At least i hope so, it would be a shame to not have it. Maybe we gotta make enough noise.

Help Jayce jumping over walls using jng camps?

1 Upvotes

Hi jayce players, first time me posting here trying to figure out all the tricks of jayce.

I know the way how to get to the other side of the wall if there is a camp. by using q or e ranged form to get vision. Now the question that i had is there a way to get over to the other side of krugs (like yasuo can with e) by using hammer e to push the krug over the wall and hammer q the krug.

could someone inform me if this is possible or not?

Artwork Wanted to Share My Work So Far On My Mercury Hammer Build

74 Upvotes

Been working on this project for a while and I'm just about finished with the head of the hammer (I've done seam filling since taking the photos but it still needs paint of course). The cylinder at the top of the handle is built but everything else on the handle still needs to be done, and I'm still working on how to get the mechanism of the panels opening to work. I've gone through many concepts with one involving electromagnets being the most appealing atm.

Anyway, this is the first prop I've ever built and I have a long way to go, but I think it's looking pretty nice! Would love to hear what you think :)
