Why this duo works
Jayce's Acceleration Gate gives Vladimir the movement speed he values for reaching targets, and Vladimir's Hemoplague can amplify Jayce's follow-up Shock Blast against the same group. Together, they can turn Jayce's ranged poke into an opening for Vladimir to enter and deal area damage.
Measured in High Elo: this duo wins 2.2pp more often than expected over 1,161 games.
Playing the duo
Jayce's Acceleration Gate(E) gives allied champions who pass through it increased movement speed; Vladimir players specifically value movement speed to reach targets for his charged Tides of Blood(E) and empowered Transfusion(Q).
Hemoplague(R) makes affected enemies take increased damage, while Shock Blast(Q) can damage multiple enemies in its path, so Jayce can follow up on targets Vladimir marks.
How to play as Jayce
Place Acceleration Gate(E) where Vladimir can pass through it on his way into a fight, then fire Shock Blast(Q) at enemies he marks with Hemoplague(R) to add damage during its window.
How to play as Vladimir
Use Jayce's Acceleration Gate(E) to gain movement speed as you approach a fight, then cast Hemoplague(R) when Jayce can follow with Shock Blast(Q).
