I can't be the only one to disagree with this update to jayce. As strong as Jayce already is he's getting more damage on top of that? This is absolutely ridiculous.

item 3800 is a thing these days. He has been significantly less effective since that became so.

Are you insane? lol his damage is not that insane until mid to late game and it takes a pretty good player to pull off his entire combo perfectly and do as much damage as other top laners because he has no ultimate. He has to combo chain 6 abilities while darius or garen press three or 4 buttons that are all not skill shots and get a kill lol. Darius= e, auto, w ,auto, auto, q, insta kill slam your face on the keyboard. Jayce has a lot in his kit but no real ult or game changing ability. He needed this.

Ok. Ill give it a few weeks for people to start crying about how Op he is with this update.

It may make him pretty strong but he doesn't power spike until hie maxes out his abilities, most of them got nerfed early game so it is a big buff to his late game and small nerf to his early game

It's not that hard to get a cheap powerspike early game and just snipe your opponent repeatedly forcing them to either get out of lane or be in danger for an all in. That's what all of them do. Jayce may not have a crazy win rate but he is a relatively hard champ to use. I'm unsure about these changes they're making to him, I always thought he was pretty underrated for what he can do and what he brings to a team at any point in the game.

The issue with jayce is his ability to deal with any situation without fail. He deals a shitload of % damage for tanks, has a gap closer that slows, a push back for disengaging from bruisers, a goddamn nuke for poking, a speed gate for bitching out or engaging, % armor and MR shred, mixed damage for building one stat, and mana restore off his basic attacks. I know i left some shit of his out, but really, is an ultimate really as good as 3 additional threat counters that can be attained before level 6? I don't think so.

ZileanUltJesusOPJun 9, 20151 votes

yes it is. These are almost all single target things and are extremely hard to excel at pulling off in team fights. He is supposed to have extremely strong laning. but his lack of an ult affects his team fights therefore his other abilities compensate to his laning phase. If jayce gets cced he cant just slam out an ult and help wit ha team fight. For example fiora can get wrecked but if you dont hundred to 0 her she can still ult and do an ass ton of damage to your whole team. Jayce cant do things like that without a powerful ult. He just cant. His kit requires that you pull of his combo perfectly, if you e into q and miss in a team fight or hit a tank, congrats you just lost half your damage. If you follow up with a q onto a squishy and a tank cces you, congrats you now have no escapes and no other gap closers to reach that person again.

That's the same logic that people use to say LB isn't cancerous, she fails at team fights. Just because a champion is hard to play, doesn't mean they should outclass every other champion. Most of the scenarios that you mentioned are far worse for the other champions in the immobility pool than they are for him. His teamfight presence isn't anywhere as meager as you're saying, as he can help his entire frontline initiate with a massive speed burst, which also allows him to fare off an atomic bomb in the enemy's lap. As for building to tank this guy, he deals stupidly high amounts of mixed damage, and has % shred for all of the major tank stats, so its not wasted if he hits a tank. If someone bum rushes him, he can slap that person away and stance change for a speed boost, into his acceleration gate. I get that managing more abilities takes more skill, but the amount of utility on one champion should be gated, otherwise you get cases like on release elise and any iteration of nidalee.

They should tweak how muramanna interacts with his hyper gate.
