Jayce, being a Shifter Champion can distort ur Depth Perception in game. It isn't something many ppl take into consideration so they dont really factor it in. But to extremely sensitive ppl, this hinders their performance. From the Champions you've listed, Kennen is the safest bet against him. U outrange him and ur faster than him. Not only that, ur speed also gives u an unexpected advantage in being able to completely dodge his Q 90% of the time. Unless u screw up somehow and run head first into the cannon, u wouldnt even take a hit.

In terms of basic counters, Elise and Kayle are the most consistent counter to Jayce, particularly Elise. Both not only outrange Jayce, they're also both mobile enough  to dodge his telegraphed Q and are able to push easily with their AoE Spell/AA. Elise in particular can win against Jayce in extended fights cos her Spider Form gives her an edge in fights due to the free spell casts.

I've found it that while fighting a melee Jayce is suicidal, it is also his most vulnerable point. Focus on making him waste his skills and start attacking him when he falls back. He will be forced to switch to ranged mode. From this point on, his actions become ridiculously predictable. If u engaged him after he used an Accelerated Cannon, his options have become even more limited. This forces him to either use Hyper Charge or Shock Blast.

Shock Blast is slow and telegraphed so if timed right with good reflexes, u can dodge it even at close range. If he uses Hyper CHarge, most Jayce players only put it at rank 1 so it'll deal mediocre damage, giving u the chance to close the gap and just shrug off the 3 hits. When he is in Cannon Form, move around from one place to another to prevent him from using Shock Blast. THis gives u a high chance to dodge the skill even at close range cos its a skill shot, not a lock on spell.

These are one of the many methods to countering Jayce. Don't think that just cos a Champ has a variety of ways to answer to contemporary scenarios that it is invincible. Just study the Champion and make counter strategies that suit ur needs. If u still can't do so, why not buy the CHampion and try him/her out? U learn betr that way too.
