Playing as Jayce
Tips to maximize your impact
- Poke through your gate
In cannon form, fire Shock Blast (Q) through Acceleration Gate (E) from the start of lane: the orb gains speed, range and damage, and it's your best poke.
- All-in with the hammer
To all-in, switch to hammer: leap in with To the Skies! (Q), activate Lightning Field (W), then knock your target back with Thundering Blow (E).
- Auto after every swap
Land an auto after each weapon swap: switching to Mercury Cannon (R) reduces your target's armor and magic resist, and your first hammer hit deals bonus magic damage.
- Swap weapons to escape
To escape, swap weapons then walk through Acceleration Gate (E): Hextech Capacitor (passive) and the gate each give you move speed.
Playing against Quinn
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Dodge her Blinding Assault
Dodge Blinding Assault (Q): it marks you with Harrier, which empowers her next auto on you, and reduces your vision.
- Engage after her Vault
If you can engage, wait until she has used Vault (E): it's her only spell to push you away, on a 12 to 8 second cooldown.
- Hit her during her flight
If Quinn passes within your range during Behind Enemy Lines (R), hit her: one hit makes her lose her speed bonus for a moment.
- Ping when she leaves lane
Ping your team as soon as she leaves lane: after a 2-second channel, Behind Enemy Lines (R) gives her a large speed boost.
