The most effective way is to play as a poker and peel for your ADC. His initiation is pretty poor (then again, most top laners got no initiation), and his dive is merely mediocre because E knocks back and you probably don't want to follow that up by switching to cannon form in the middle of a team fight. He can protect ADC so well though. Set up gate, poke with Q + W, switch to hammer form, Q W E... tons of damage and your ADC is super safe. | ||

When the initiation starts, use your ranged shit first, then transform and either peel from your ADC with E or fuck someone up with QW. You don't want to be the first one in, but you're perfectly happy following an initiator (most junglers these days, or an AP or Support with AOECC like Diana/Leona/Zyra/Alistar) with QW. Your kit isn't the best to 1v1 an AD carry (you're no Irelia.) but if you have some help pinning someone down you put out the damage fast enough to focus down anyone you please. | ||

Assist your initiator (or help your team back off to wait for the right time to engage) using your ranged E. Don't get caught, you shouldn't be the #1 front line for your team - more like #2-3 tank - like an uncommonly tanky AD carry. While your W is up, a flat AD build or triforce build can shell out damage like a real AD carry, for a moment.

So, in teamfight, I stand aside and do my ranged stuff, then pop hummer mode and jump onto someone. I guess I have to warn my team that I'm not gonna be tanking. | ||

2 dorans - CDR boots - Brut - BT/TF - TF/BT by this time the game is normally over - but I normally end up with GA. I do have some variations if I need to be tankier etc. Like Shuelias instead of brut, and maybe FH, or even warmogs atmas. | ||

With single target + long CD on your only hard CC and not much innate tankiness you don't offer much as a front line fighter. The Armor/MR you get from hammer mode basically just makes up for what most other melee champs get as base stats, and none of your kit except the resists from hammer mode has anything to do with survivability at all. | ||

I don't think Nidalee, Renekton, or Yorick can do enough to boot Jayce out of lane fast enough. As long as you don't try to kill them, they're not going to kill you. Irelia is about the only pick that can probably bully him, if you blade surge to a creep and then blade surge to him if he boots you away. Edit: After playing some more games, Garen can beat Jayce's face in... thereotically Jayce can boot away Garen before he silences you, but sometimes you screw up and if you get low enough, he can just flash, silence, judgement, and ult you for an easy kill. | ||

Nidalee is slightly more annoying, but it's definitely doable. Not saying they're easy matchups, and you're probably not going to kill either of them by yourself, but I don't feel like they can kill you either if you play the matchup well. | ||

Well, when I say "bad matchups", I just mean "matchups that turn into farm lanes because they can't really stop you". I don't think Jayce has any lanes where he straight up loses... maybe Riven? | ||

He maxed E and just hammered me out if I burned my skills to get close. If there's a way to beat Jayce with Riven I'm all ears, but it seemed a pretty hard match for her with his spacing control. | ||

I only had this matchup once as Riven aswell. I feel it's like Riven vs. Shen, you're not going to kill him so just turn it into a farm lane. In the end Riven has a bigger late game presence, it seems, so she looks like a safe pick against him. EDIT: Can I couch this statement any more? Before the original version I had two more conditional phrases in it. XD | ||

Ive played it a couple times, you completely shit on her the entire lane phase. Her stun -> dash wont do shit, when you get unstunned Q E(cause we know e's a balanced skill) then you could shift to cannon and w her or something but usually q->e hammer is enough. Lategame you just do so much more. tldr spam autoattacks and q e at later ranks -> free win | ||

Why would you get a Doran's if you plan to play passively? That just makes no sense at all. | ||
