Counter picks against Jayce in the top lane focus on champions who can survive his poke and eventually outscale him. Here's what you need to know:

Strong Counter Picks:

• Olaf (Best counter with high sustain and ultimate that negates Jayce's disengage)
• Zac (Strong engage and sustain)
• Warwick (Excellent sustain and chase potential)
• Poppy (Can block Jayce's mobility with W)
• Quinn (Can match his ranged harassment)

Laning Strategy:

• Stay behind minions to block his Q damage (but not directly behind due to AOE)
• Wait for him to go low on mana before engaging
• Accept losing some CS early to maintain health and XP
• Look for all-in opportunities when his abilities are on cooldown

Team Fight Tips:

• Engage quickly to prevent his poke damage
• Avoid grouped objectives when Jayce is nearby
• Don't let him freely split push with his W tower damage
• Watch for his Q-E combo in choke points

Key Power Spike Awareness:

• Level 1-2: Respect his early poke potential
• Level 3: His Q-E combo becomes a major threat
• Mid-game: Team fight poke becomes devastating
• Late-game: Split push pressure increases

Additional Effective Counters:

• Kled (Strong all-in potential)
• Tryndamere (Can sustain through poke)
• Yorick (Good sustain and split push threat)
• Malphite (Strong engage and armor scaling)
• Cho'Gath (Natural sustain and tankiness)

Remember to maintain proper positioning and wait for his key abilities to be on cooldown before engaging. Focus on farming safely until you can capitalize on his mistakes or mana issues.
