How to Play This Matchup
Power Curve
Zed is strongest mid game while Jayce peaks early game. Play around your power window.
Armor Rush
Both champions deal physical damage. Whoever builds armor first (Plated Steelcaps, Bramble Vest) gets a huge advantage in trades.
Range Advantage
Jayce has range advantage. Zed should look for short trades when Jayce uses abilities on the wave. Freeze near your tower and wait for jungle help or an all-in window.
Exploit Zed's Weakness
Zed's main weakness: Zhonya's, exhaust, tanks, falling behind. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
Zed Win Condition

Jayce Win Condition
Poke in ranged, all-in in melee, bully lane
Kill Pressure vs Map Play
Zed typically runs Ignite for kill pressure. Jayce runs Teleport for map impact. Zed needs to convert the combat advantage into kills before Jayce outscales through TP plays.
