Jayce's ultimate is overloaded compared to other transform champions.

Jayce as of right now has two passives tied into each of his transformations. Here are the numbers for his "Ultimate"

Melee is as followed Transform Mercury Cannon.CANNON STANCE - ACTIVE: Jayce transforms the Transform Mercury Cannon. Mercury Cannon into the Mercury Hammer, gaining new abilities, becoming Melee role melee, 5 / 15 / 25 / 35 bonus armor and bonus magic resistance, and causing his next basic attack to deal 20 / 60 / 100 / 140 (+ 25% bonus AD) bonus magic damage. Jayce begins the game with Transform but cannot increase its rank. Instead, his basic abilities each have 6 ranks.

His melee form adds tank stats to him, while giving him bonus damage on his next attack, which scales with attack damage, but deals magic damage. This gives him damage that his lane opponent will not be building for. Jayce deals damage on the levels of an assassin right now, so why does he need the tank stats? Remember when had bonus armor and mr tied into her cougar form? That was taken out by Riot because they deemed it excessive.

Ranged is as followed

Transform Mercury Hammer.HAMMER STANCE - ACTIVE: Jayce transforms the Transform Mercury Hammer. Mercury Hammer into the Mercury Cannon, gaining new abilities, becoming Ranged role ranged (500 range), and causing his next basic attack to reduce his target's armor and magic resistance by 10 / 15 / 20 / 25% for 5 seconds.

This is the real nasty form, I hate to bring up again but remember when her traps had a mr/armor shred on them? That was deemed excessive and removed. However Jayce can have this on his ranged auto attacks, and he so happens to have a skill which gives him max attack speed. Not to mention he builds all lethality items and black cleaver to really bring the pain!

Jayce INFURIATES me to no end. Want to know why? Because champions like are not allowed any stats tied into their transform ultimate, which gives them three extra skills. While Jayce has all of these extra numbers tied into his transform ultimate, which also gives him 3 extra abilities.

The only character aside from Jayce that transforms as an ultimate and has stats tied into their ultimate is and she gets move speed and on hit damage only in melee form.

Can anyone explain to me why he gets the armor shred and extra defense? Would Jayce be broken if they just disappeared like Nidalee's extra stats? Can someone tell me whether or not this is balanced, because I can't see it.
