Why doesn't Jayce ranged cannon Q damage scale with range.

Maybe that way he doesn't nuke you in both melee range and hiding in a bush at the end of the lane. Have you thought of that? maybe he should get punished for getting caught in close range.

It has a thick hitbox unlike something like nidalee spear so idk maybe it's because that would be too punishing in an open lane and too hard to get around creeps at other times. Idk.

If they did that, they'd probably end up having to add more power at the end than it currently has.

no. I mean it does the same damage as it does now in long range but lower in short range

No, but I"m telling you the normal way they 'nerf' champions like Jayce who have been so strong for so long. They don't usually drastically change their mechanics like that without giving some compensation because they seem fine with his power budget as is (except the slight nerfs on PBE)

yeah but that would be a ridiculously hard nerf so they would need to add power elsewhere, at least if its a major shift like 35% less til a certain range, they would either be gutting him doing this or transfer power to somewhere else
