Talk:Jayce/@comment-188.81.4.227-20120703205008

So I played him at the PBE and here are my thoughts for anyone interested:

His best role is solo top, his second best role is AD carry. He can also jungle well. I can't see how he's viable as support and he can go AD mid just fine, AP not really.

He's the best chaser so far. He's also disgustingly OP. I mean it. I'm not one of those kids that cry "OP OMG NERF PLZ" to every champion that's beaten him. I've never been beaten by a Jayce. But I realize he's OP, as does everyone else I've met on the PBE.

Of course he'll take the nerf bat, either before or after official release. That's perfectly understandable.

I don't think he has a hard counter, the guy can do everything, suffers from the same problems that pre-nerf Lee Sin had, for example. Too much of everything too powerful. I can 1 hit kill someone with full health with my E+Q combo. Not even kidding.

I can also just spam my R all the time for movement speed, which I think is stupid. R doesn't even have a mana cost.

Combos are also freaking easy to figure out, he's not as high skill capped as some people would hope. There are some space for variety there, but not THAT much if you want to be efficient.

As for counters... Maybe high mobility mages with long range and hard CCs (slows wouldn't matter much), I don't know. It's really hard to think of counters to this guy. Maybe Malphite and Rammus. Yeah, they might work, depending on the Jayce's build.

Optimal skill order would be R>Q>E>W IMO. As a solo top focus on counterbuilding the opponent, raw AD and some CDR is also nice. Don't mind much about attack speed unless you're playing AD carry Jayce.

The guy is also mana hungry, especially early. That's understandable given his whole kit.

I will buy him when he gets out, if only just to hear the cries of the puny enemies saying "OMG RIOT NERF PLZ OMG".
