Riot nerfed Jayce too much

Jayce has utility, Zed doesn't.

Champions with team utility are more likely to receive damage nerfs than Assassins are because if you nerf their damage they can still aid the team with buffs and such. Nerf an assassin's damage and they aren't good for ANTYHING.

jack of all trade champions have this common problem, where theyre either too good at everything, or weak enough in every area that they end up being half baked at everything, and are outshined by a more specialized champion, no matter what they do.

as long as jayce has two kits, its highly unlikely you can balance him properly. ever.

i remember it was the same problem with druids back in WoW. its typically what happens, in a rock paper scissors system, when you give one guy a rock and scissors at the same time.

its the same problem with jinx compared to other ad carries. she has enough of everything in her kit, that no matter who shes fighting, she can adjust her playstile and always comes out ahead.

i bet if all of her strengths would be watered down instead of riot just saying fuck it and focusin on one or 2 strengths while removing the rest, she would end up in the same boat as jayce. and its probably whats going to happen.
