Your victories come through roaming, team fighting, and map pressure rather than 1v1 lane dominance. Quality over quantity: Garen wins through smart play rather than raw damage - despite lower DPS (695 vs 781/min), the 54.8% win rate shows superior utility, positioning, and team fight impact.

The Garen versus Jayce matchup in the top lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Garen deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Jayce deals mainly physical damage (78.71%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Jayce, ranking 13th (versus 34th for Garen) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.8 versus 1.9) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Garen player to maintain constant pressure on Jayce, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
