Yasuo vs Jayce Matchup Summary

The Yasuo vs Jayce matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 32 recent matches analyzed, Jayce wins with a 53.1% win rate compared to Yasuo's 46.9%, giving Jayce a 6.3 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Yasuo controls the early laning stage, but Jayce outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Yasuo needs to press advantages before Jayce reaches their power spikes, while Jayce should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Yasuo leads by 536 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Jayce has a strong advantage in this matchup. Yasuo players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Jayce overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Best Yasuo Build Against Jayce

Gunmetal Greaves is the optimal boots choice against Jayce, providing the mobility and stats Yasuo needs most in this matchup. The top-performing core items for Yasuo against Jayce are Immortal Shieldbow, Blade of The Ruined King and Infinity Edge. This combination gives Yasuo an effective balance of damage, survivability, and utility for the matchup. This build performs exceptionally well, achieving a 57.1% win rate across 7 games — well above average and making it the top item path against Jayce.

Jayce late game win rateJayce57.1%

Yasuo dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 54.5% win rate — a 9.1 percentage point lead over Jayce. This lopsided early game means Yasuo can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Jayce is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 57.1% win rate — 14.3 points above Yasuo. Extended games heavily favor Jayce, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Yasuo must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Jayce reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Jayce survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
