@Riot, So, why all the hate for Jayce's Hyper charge?

Looks like on the update notes for the PBE, Jayce is getting a change to his character, where his ult auto-levels, and now he has to rank 6 all of his abilities. It seems like most of them are weaker from levels 2-5, but stronger at level 6, however, his Hyper Charge has been reduced to 100% dmg at max rank.

I'm not upset or anything, I'm just genuinely confused - his hyper charge used to go to 130%, then it was nerfed to 110%, and now it's going to 100%... for the 6th level of the ability. What is even the point of this ability anymore?

Should it be called "Average Charge" now? Or "Faster-but-weaker Charge?"

keep in mind Hyper charge can wreck towers and that 1 extra sec off the cooldown means he will have it up allot more often, effectively making AS even more meaningless on him, plus his hammer version is even stronger then it is now without the extra level,

I'm not an expert on Jayce, and you may be right that hyper charge makes hitting towers down quicker, but is it really that much better than every auto attack reset in the game? Hyper charge is basically 2 auto resets in sequence, for less damage, I'm not sure it's as good as you say.

It gives him 3 auto attacks at maximum attack speed, without building any AS items, so he can build more raw damage, which synergies with his abilities better, and it's opposite ability gives both a nifty aoe damage and mana regin option,
