Why isn't Jayce played in high levels very often?

I honestly think Jayce is really OP, due to his crazy range and poke along with speed-ups for the team and a gap closer after he chunks you out with said poke._ He has a max hp spell, absolutely destroying tanks._ He also brings utility to a team, he can be a power farmer, he can sit back and just poke all day, or he can play a "rush it down mid" kind of team comp. It just doesn't make a lot of sense to me as to why this guy isn't played very often. Maybe his mobility isn't the greatest but_ that's why you ward!_ I'd like feedback just because it befuddles me as to why this hunk of a man isn't played.

Well he just received his buff recently. I wouldn't be too surprised if he was played in worlds this year.

Clunky, squishy, a "once you go in, you can't back out" type of champion, immobile (you use your E for your Q 99% of the time), a CC which requires you to be in the middle of the teamfight.

mana, has to farm, bad vs tanks, you have to be a good Jayce player, doesn't fit in many team comps... If he was manaless, he would be pretty popular.

he's a bit mana hungry early game unless you use your hammer and he's not stout enough to go up against high damage dealers in order to recover that mana early game leaving you unable to kill the minions with anything but your basic attack on the cannon. if that werent enough you have mixed types of damage and his scaling is all over the place. his kit relies on lots of finesse and really he's not as reliable as a champion who can both reposition for skillshots and use tracking spells. he also doesnt have a lockdown move. just a single target knockback and that's not very useful on an immobile champion.
