Champion Portrait of Malphite
Malphite
Easy
35145%+160+895You have to hard pressure him before first back and before he starts getting armor items. Try to keep resetting his passive so he doesn't get his shield up. Play around bushes so you can auto him for free and so he cannot use his q on you.
Champion Portrait of Aatrox
Aatrox
Easy
31349%+263+1,001Play extremely aggressive levels 1-2 while spacing Aatrox Q's. Set up a slow push for crash on 3rd wave. Here you need to either dive Aatrox with your jungler or do a cheater recall. Aatrox has advantage levels 6-10 but you should win side lane as you scale
Champion Portrait of Ornn
Ornn
Easy
31346%+577+1,836This matchup can be annoying because his Q does more damage than yours. The best strategy is to stay away from the creep wave; if he uses his Q on you, he will miss CS. Focus on getting a CS lead and pressuring that advantage. Only trade when his W is on cooldown, so he is not unstoppable.

Champion Portrait of DrMundo
DrMundo
Easy
28649%+817+1,050This is a very difficult matchup because Jayce relies on his knockback to disengage, but Mundo can extend trades with his passive and cleavers. It's especially hard to escape when he uses his ultimate and Ghost after level 6. You must play aggressively early with Conqueror and Ignite to secure kills before he can stat-check you.
Champion Portrait of Sion
Sion
Easy
27148%+97+445This can be an annoying matchup. If he goes full AD, it's a free lane. If he goes tank, it's much more difficult. Harass him early, and if you get caught in a pinch when he tries to Q you, use your E to cancel it and knock him away. You must take the Cut Down rune.
