Fighting alongside, Jayce players should see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
In contrast, by bringing Jayce and Katarina together, you will not be granting your other allies a great deal of utility. We recommend you have other champs on your team that nullifies this hole in this pairing's potential.
Regardless of the ability of your Katarina ally, you should focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
