The jayce bug where his weapon doesnt have any of its animations in either stance from the start of the game has gone on for two years already. At this rate, given his relatively recent release, most people don't even know this is a bug, otherwise there should have been a ton more reports on this issue. Can I have an answer on whether its actually going to be fixed, seeing as this affects 2 of his skins as well.

TheLastShadow451 votesI've played jayce a lot and have never seen this "bug" ever.
beany1 votesSorry if my post wasn't clear, the bug has been around for so long (from inconsistently happening to full-blown 100% every game) that it took me some time to notice it was bugged as well. But i guess its more obvious if you played him since release since he did not have this bug initially.

Ive linked the Jayce Champ spotlight (or you could check the in-client ability page), head over to the ability showcase to see how his hammer should be closed when he uses up the passive, and then how his cannon should be closing its "exhausts" when firing shots as well as slightly shrinking when applying the ar/mr shred. Now fire up a custom game in the live version to see how NONE of that is happening, basically right from the start.
It definitely isn't a client issue, since the few times i've seen jayce played in competetive have this exact thing happen. The thing is that it happens on all his skins except forsaken, and is the most obvious on classic, but since most people have debonair or full metal, they tend not to notice that it looks weird.
Niyumi1 votesYou know, after looking at that video, this report is actually really accurate. Almost none of the animations play in any games (like, I never even knew about the Shock Gate animation), regardless of what you do. I never even noticed until I saw the animations in the spotlight. Just thought that's how he was. D:
More specifically, for you guys at Riot, his hammer never moves during any of his abilities or attacks, it just sits there, when it should be doing all kinds of movement. (all the mechanical bits)
Voidac1 votesAfter checking, this is the same in my client, too. I don't think it's a personal client bug or isolated incidents, the animations just don't happen.
