Jayce the Defender of Tomorrow
Jayce Talis is a brilliant inventor who, along with his friend Viktor, made the first great discoveries in the field of hextech. Celebrated across Piltover, he tries to live up to his reputation as "the Man of Progress," but often struggles with the expectations placed upon him. Because of this, Jayce has begun to see the ways in which his invention has furthered the division between Piltover and Zaun—and armed with his hextech hammer, he stands ready to defend tomorrow.
Hextech Capacitor
When Jayce swaps weapons he gains Move Speed for a short duration.

MetaBot Tips

- Jayce has a much early late game win rate than their late game win rate. Take advantage of this by playing aggressive early on and trying to snowball through kills.

- Jayce has more base armor than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against attack damage type enemies.
- Jayce has more magic resistance than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against magic damage type enemies.
- Jayce has more mana regen than most champions, making their playstyle optimal for aggressive trades in lane.
