He's impossible to get out of lane - assuming top, only place I've played him, since his W regens mana and his costs are low to begin with.
He has two 1:1 AD (Q and E in hammer form) ratios and one 1.2 AD ratio that can be a 1.68 AD ratio (His Q / Q+E)
A 2.5 atk speed steroid
and his W is pretty good in teamfights too, and lets him get mana back passively
idk how you can say he does no damage
all of his ranged stuff is strong harass, W when they get in range, EQ when they're not in it.
His Q works wonders since it's AoE, and I've done it a few times where I Q them, run in front of them, then E them back into my tower.
Jayce is going to be so goddamn strong once people learn him, I've done pretty well with him. Even though 2/3 times I've played him so far I've had a bot lane that goes 0/12 in 15 minutes, I've still done well by myself. On a team that didn't do poorly I was able to go 10-0-12 and even beat a darius in lane.
Also I love how fast he gets back to lane
R everytime it's up along with his ranged E and you get back to lane in 10 seconds
Here's also a common mistake I see:
When you play as jayce, and you want use your ranged EQ combo - first off SMARTCAST - if you're not using smartcast on all your champions and you have ~1000 games played - then the fuck?
Now assuming you're a decent player that knows how to use smartcast, here's the error I see a lot of jayce's making:
Your EQ combo, I see Jayce's set the gate down at random spots, maybe like at the max of its range or halfway in its range, but that's a mistake. You want to set the gate down so it's as close as possible to you, but so when you Q you get the missile speed right away rather than having it travel half of its distance slow and the other half fast (Doing it so the entire missile speed is fast makes it almost impossible to dodge, if you do it half slow they can see where it's going to go and react)
I still haven't gotten the best skill order yet, but I generally go Q > E > R > W. Yes I don't level R
AT ALL until I have Q and E at level 5. It does almost nothing besides provide like 5% extra mr/armor shred and like 5 extra armor/mr depending on your stance. Not much imo.
I like to harass my lane opponent like this:
First off I do my ranged QE combo as described above, setting the gate down directly in front of me, then right after I hit Q I switch forms so now I'm melee, run through my gate - giving me the bonus movespeed from my passive and gate - then I catch up to my lane enemy, Q them, and E them away before they even get a chance to fight back.
Assuming you did that correctly, this can take ~70% of your enemy's hp in one round, but they have to be semi-close to you in order for it to work - as in close enough that 500 movespeed for 2 seconds and a gap closer (Although it is kind of a short range) is close enough to catch up to them
one final things, buff lasts even if you switch forms. That means if you W in melee then switch to ranged you still get the aoe, if you W in ranged and switch to melee, you still get 2.5 atk speed for 3 attacks, not much but still helpful
