Ninja-Changes to Jayce's Ranged AA

When the new patch hit, my community and I noticed a couple changes to Jayce's cannon stance auto attacks.

Amongst them were a lot of bugfixes (details in the this here Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/comments/9qzy6y ), but they also made his auto attacks feel less snappy - especially early game. As the game progresses, these changes make gameplay more fluid with the bugged debuff auto attack having the same speed as all others, but as a champion that wants to play out his early game advantage Jayce seems to suffer more than benefit.

None of the changes were mentioned in the patch notes and left a lot of players frustrated: naturally, such a substantial change before the end of the season can feel quite bad. Noticeable about it is the winrate drop according to sources like lolalytics.

It'd be appreciated if some light could be shed on the situation, and if others could share how they feel about it.

No more poking jayce since this nerf, his win rate in top lane is very low. Fix this please. No early game Jayce = Defeat

This unexpected change made substantially harder for Jayce to pressure his opponent in early game. I saw a lot of challenger Jayces being frustrated and stopped playing him until he's fixed. Please Riot, fix this as soon as possible. Thanks.

I just played a game of jayce and I felt this weird auto attack timing bullshit.. it completely destroys my chance to ranged harass early due to this incredible wind up. Champ is basically unplayable now.. he was fluid before now he is just janky garbage with this long ass wind up.

A melee champ could practically walk up to you and auto you in the time that it takes you to get your auto off at level 1 or 2..
