'direct brawl'

'jayce'

Wut... Jayce does not brawl unless he wants to. He is the one dictating the pace of the lane and that's why he ALWAYS dominates regardless of the matchup. It's also the main reason why Faerie Charm into Tear start is so effective, you can buy a bunch of pots and wards and play early game the way you want. The only way to stop Jayce in his tracks is to gank him early and often or play an equally stupid broken ass laner who can destroy everything with an early lead, like Renekton or Kha'Zix. But I digress. Typically you should rush Tear if you're top or if you're not getting blue buff on mid lane. Pushing the lane and poking under tower with autos and Accelerated Qs is the bread and butter of his laning and you need the mana to spam it on every cd rotation. If you're getting blue buff it's fine to get Spirit of the Elder Lizard, since it gives you the damage earlier without having to stack Tear/Manamune. And it's cheaper. Gauntlet on the other hand is a trash item on Jayce. Please, you're Jayce, not Ezreal. Besides, the only reason you get Tear on Jayce it's because the mana gets ultimately turned into AD, which doesn't happen with Gauntlet. The gold efficiency of Muramana is much higher because of that. And if you get both of them it's just sad, might as well play Ezreal instead. Afterwards get BT + LW and you're set to own mid-game. Oh joy! So Balanced!
