Trading pattern

Enter trades with danger-zone Heat active, land (E) to slow Jayce and keep him in (Q) range for maximum damage.

After completing your first AP item, pressure Jayce aggressively with empowered (Q) trades and (R) zone control.
Respect Jayce's first damage item spike by playing around his poke cooldowns and avoiding extended fights when his poke is up.
