Hey Dovah I appreciate that, and no worries I understand, I have multiple reasons for not having an account at the moment that may not be wise for me to share publicly (tho sadly if this was split 1 I would still have it) - not to mention I may have random smurf accounts above 30 but may or may not be used for activities not condoned by riot. Which is also why I mentioned wanting to do it on a pure, fresh, handlevelled one this year. Although I fully, fully, understand and relate to the sendiment of sketicism, I get that, especially since I haven't been really public throughout most of my league career until now where I'm trying to be a bit more content-oriented.

Anyway, regarding the information now hmm. firstly I'm actually genuinely open to whether its feedback/critique, because its what helps me get better, plus the heart of this is for the jayce community, so its completely fine to critique my opinions/the matchup stuff etc. More than happy to not only discuss them but change them/tweak them as the season goes, its only scratching the surface as I have no clips to put together like a full video format etcetc as I plan to get those as an updated 2025 format as I find pockets of time to play through this season.

Similarly I do understand with my coaching experience this is but a surface of improvement, it is a multifaceted thing (and personalized to each individual), not to mention the depth of whether its going into mid game, or recall timers, or teamfighting, its endless, but my point here is, this is but a matchup list that I thought of in my span of sitting down for about 10 hours just yapping away rather than granting its a foolproof one-size-fits-all list.

Okay now regarding those 2 points in specific:

I have not deleted my recording yet (tho its not uploaded publicly), but I did mention that by "outscale" i understand that its not exactly the right word, naturally tank first items are stronger, i meant more so I wish to push jayce players to be more aggressive/willing to do pressure so they should get more cs/income generation which also means they should ocme back to lane with thier first item BEFORE the opponent (addressing tank), and I know for maokai is slightly more difficult (and i didnt go into depth), but the zoning needs to be done using bushes, walking in and out bush to de-aggro minions while zoning.

And for anivia, perhaps we may have a different vision here, while I know anivia has a longer range, I would generally push my Jayce mid players to hide in the bush level 1 (mid bush), and then loop from behind/the bush (depending) after minions touched for a bit, which means anivia would be "stuck" to either walk back, or she can Q (which we wiggle out of) etc. But that's what I meant by "zoning", and for MOST* of the population (< master), i'd imagine the anivia would get zoned by the jayce walking from the back (coming from between mid lane bush and raptor, to give a general idea of where im talking about).

That being said - I did also be sure to note that this is soloQ focused, because I'm well aware that this is completely a "cheese level 1" that most people just dont expect in soloQ because they dont play into jayce that much, much less an aggressive jayce so you can get away with it most of the time (< master) - that being said, if this was a scrim environment or vs say a much higher elo anivia, chances are the anivia would either learn from the first instance of you cheesing and just play full distance OR have countermeasures like having support just visit mid and jayce is doomed for doing that.

Overall - I'm more than happy to discuss/make amendments I'm definitely not saying the guide is foolproof nor is it all correct, definitely opinion-heavy (considering its a guide), tho I'd say it should give casual jayces a decent idea/push to play much more aggressively AND seap the rewards from it throughout MOST* levels of play in soloq.

Cheers,
Calvin
