Can we talk about how weak Jayce is right now?

Ever since Jayce's Hyper Charge was gutted after World's, I've watched Jayce's win-rate dwindle down to obscurity.

If you go check out champion win-rates right now, you'll find that Jayce, and Ryze, are the only champions who stay in the lowest win-rate category even as you switch it from Normals, Solo, or 5v5.

Most of the champs down there usually manage to escape when you switch the data around, hell, even Elise manages to scrape up a high enough win-rate, that's when you know shit's gotten bad for Jayce.

Honestly, I think it's pretty easy to balance him too, clearly we shouldn't bring back his old Hyper Charge, but instead find a middle ground from where it used to be, and also tackle the main problem that used to exist with the champion at the same time.

The idea is simple, do what was done to Gnar that same patch, transfer some of that power to his ult. Gnar had his cooldowns nerfed for his Q, but an additional function was added to his ult that lowered the cooldown of it depending on the rank of it, essentially nerfing it's power early game.

For Jayce, it would look something like this:

R - Transform: Mercury Hammer Increases Hyper Charge's damage multiplier while wielding the Mercury Hammer by 5/10/15/20%

This does a couple things for Jayce...

1. It brings back some of Jayce's former by bringing Jayce's W damage back to 130%, like it used to be, but still nerfing his ranged power, which was the intended effect of the nerf in the first place.

2. It gives people a reason to actually put a damn point in that ult in the first place. (Like seriously, who upgrades their ult?)

tl;dr:

Jayce is weak right now, with a sub 45% winrate across the board. Let's find a middle-ground to Jayce's live power, and his former power, and go with that. This involves strengthening his Hyper Charge's power in his melee stance, giving him some of his damage back in Hammer Stance, while still following through with the intentions of his nerf to begin with (to weaken his ranged power).
