Meddler and Reds: Do you think that Jayce is currently living up to his theme and kit potential

I'll preface that I having been playing Jayce since the day he came out and love to be the ranged lane bully in top lane but Jayce has seemed to fail in an area or two throughout his life that I wanted to discuss. With his initial lore and even in development posts rioters said that this champion is not suppose to me just a ranged carry Ala bot lane. But then he became a solely a poke reliant and Q or gate Q reliant champ. Jayces hammer form never developed into anything more than an execute with a knock back for safety. What are your opinions if we redirected a little of his power so that he could truly function as a ranged damaged dealer in cannon but could survive as a melee fighter in hammer mode and truly deliver on that jack of all trades master of non potential?

Now this last part is merely an itemization balance idea that may not be feasible at all. Since Jayce doesn't have an ultimate, what if we moved so additional scaling in his ultimate passive. Maybe a toned down percentage scaling of health or resistance based on his Ad, AS, or mana. This still disincentivizes him to build ADC items but allows him to benefit from a less stale itemization route and gives him clear trade offs to the items he chooses (makes tear even more of a directed choice and promotes using mana carefully unless you need the stat it scales Ala MR).

Thoughts guys
