I always thought he was bad because of his late game lol.
Apparently not.

I fucking love nRated. His Leona play at Hannover ignited my love for aggressive support. Stalked his masteries and runepages quite a bit ^_^ (at one point he ran mpen, armor, flat AP and flat AP for his Blitzcrank page....)

Yeah, great comeback from Fnatic - having two AD carries with good poke between Jayce & Corki as well as Leona/Malphite tankline and Ahri's mobility/CC was fantastic for the lategame, and they managed to drag out teamfights well.

nRated missed basically every ult and Peke suicided every fight. Not once did he manage to dash a second time, he exploded on every first dash.

Not impressed by either team tbh, looking forward to M5 and CLG.

I believe soAz was the WW with Blue Buff from aAa that did that crazy tower dtuff last year in the Season 1 Championships.

Jayce has been picked several times in the Garena League and been pretty scary.

Dat Jayce and Corki and 2 AOE stun/knock were really scary. Crs was little over there head with that mid game lead. If they played safer it would be difficult for Fnatic to comeback.

Apparently not.

Most people were not willing to deal with the "specialness" of the first autoattack after switching stances (the animation was majorly fucked). Most people are not willing to put so much work into potentially complex skill combinations when there are champions out there that are a bit weaker while facerolling.

But as demonstrated by soaz and TRM, if you actually put the effort in and play 100% focussed the whole time, he just crushes everyone.

Im curious, Phreak is talking about being able to pick a straight up hard counter to Jayce. I cant really think of a good "conventional" top lane pick that hard counters Jayce... Anyone have some ideas on how they could win that lane? Or do you think they'll just ban out Jayce?

Yorick is really annoying to play against as jayce, but I think a w max build to deal with ghouls in hammer form could work.
Maybe nunu might work?

Anyone who wants to build armor and mr instead of health works around the move he uses to bully you - the knockback. So basically everyone with super sustain. Minus Shen and Olaf, b/c both want to build health. So like Rumble, Irelia, Riven, Udyr etc. Also Kennen, Kennen counters everything.

Whenever I play nunu, I actually have some trouble against jayce. Mostly because he has so much damage that it's actually kind of tough to sustain against him. But i could be playing against him wrong lol.

Makes me wonder anyway why the pro top players have stopped playing Kennen.
