Jayce Ultimate Buff

Itzabull·Oct 9, 2014·1 votes·451 views

Hi Riot,

Just wondering why Jayce is the only range shifting champion (Elise, Nidalee) whose ultimate is on a 6 seconds cooldown? Not only that, most builds don't even require you to level up the ultimate.

I have both Nidalee and Elise and having their ulti's on lower cooldowns makes it more very fun to dance around the field to control your range (ie. dance in, dance out)

But with Jayce, it's either all-in or you wait the full 6 seconds to go range again.

If you cannot buff his ultimate, can you at least lower the cooldown to be more in-line with the other two?

Thanks.

He gets a buff from shifting forms.

I'd guess it has to do with his first AA in either form getting bonuses.

A normal Jayce build should reach 40 % CDR as soon as possible. His ult should be on a 4 seconds and lower with no delay. Even a 6 seconds cooldown is ok. I mean... Jayce is not supposed to go in melee form unless he wants to

1 ) All-in to burst down someone.

2 ) Get back some mana if he knows he can farm safely in melee form.

3 ) Wants to get back faster to lane.

However, he's always in range form for :

Poke damage... farming... taking down towers... kiting.
