One of the misconception about jayce in lane is that he's a poke champion, because of the strong e-q combo and he eventually becomes a great poke champion. Early on, jayce is more about the bursty combo in hammer form, and using his range attacks to farm. That's why he's super safe while having the kill pressure on most match ups. But one of the main weaknesses he has is that he doesn't have any sustain, so if you take something that can outsustain him, you can. One of the most powerful counter to Jayce is Swain. Since Jayce's range is short, you can zone him from cs with q. And once you have the ultimate, you can outsustain his bursty combo. Also you get to build rod of ages, and jayce struggles against champions that build health. And Swain can be played top or mid.
