@Riot: Noticed you've been trimming a lot of "free harass", which is good, but...

Okay, let me start this out in that I've actually kinda... admire your nerfs (I know it's a weird thing to say) on Zyra and Varus, even though I play one of them. The nerfs specifically target the "free harass" ™ where they can poke you down from safety with little interactivity. It's little in the way of raw numbers nerfs and more about nerfing specific behaviors which feel incredibly cheap to lane against.

I actually LOVE this style of balance changes. It's smart. I love the direction it's going but I don't think it's quite done yet.

Jayce Jayce when building Lethality can reliably chunk a third of your health all while standing a football field's length away in cannon stance. At least Zyra has to get decently close with her plants. Varus, even, has to get closer than Jayce does.

Are there any potential thoughts into nerfing the range of his gate poke?

Force Jayce to build tear again (by upping his mana costs for his poke combo) and the damage would probably sort itself out.
