Why does the boards hate Jayce?
He got gutted countless amounts of times and the last time he was ever really noticed was when Dade used him.
The introduction of the Juggernauts and champions that build
stomp all over his kiting ability
He is in the 46% win rate with a 1.3% popularity rate
I remember a soloq expert named BingeGaming who performs challenges to get diamond in at least 100 games, and
was the only champion he failed at doing so.

The Q-E combo CDs are ridiculously high and in poke compositions, he doesn't even fit there.
You might as well remove Melee Hammer Form W, since it is completely useless (other than it's mana regen) post 10 minutes.
Don't get me wrong, Jayce can be scary, but only if he is far ahead. You are practically forced to take
so you won't be useless later.
Also
? Pretty useless build path if rushed since games are decided much earlier now
It's also funny how he is exaggerated to be "the lanebully" of Top lane when even
with a
can possibly stomp him.
If he is ganked, there is possibly no way out unless you possibly get a kill off, which in the process you die anyway.
All I hear from others is just "OMG JAYCE DOES DMG, POKE OP" when there are much more better poke champions

and top-laners overall:

edit: Correction, Pawn used Jayce in worlds

: because of the sustain, and generally if you overextend you will get ganked if you try to punish him too much. Q-E I admit is hard to dodge but generally top laners that can somehow peel for themselves usually stomp others and since melee form E is only single target, it's not really reliable
