•Stop treating Acceleration Gate like a reflex Q-E button: use it as a speed strip you can hover in and out of while you chip with autos and plain Q, then swap to hammer only after the opponent has already spent the spell that lets them stick to you
•Jayce’s early lane pressure is borrowed until you cash it into a reset, and recent data fits that feel exactly: among similar top-lane poke/bully picks, he loses the most when his first component is delayed, so the point of winning walk-ups is coming back to lane with touches that now actually stick
•Ahead Jayce should press the game before fights become planted-feet 30+ minute peel battles, because his leads decay harder than comparable tops there; once that slower fight shape arrives, cannon form should do most of the starting and hammer form is better used to finish or knock a diver off than to open on its own
