Jayce is a pantheon that scales into a hyper carry

Literally, no champ counters this guy, and is made worse by the fact that he scales into late game. Now this isn't a Jayce QQ thread, but considering that bruisers have no chance against this guy on top, at least make him squishy by nerfing his base HP/armor, riot is doing the wrong thing with nerfing Hyper Charge damage. Meaning, if a Jayce is jumped on, he should die instead of brute forcing his way through auto-attacks. If he builds full damage, he should be punished for that.

Watering down his strength is similar to what happened in the cassiopeia re-work anyway

He already is pretty squishy and easy to lock down, unless he's in a lucky spot and can jump towards his tower (rare). Also, he's not a hypercarry. He does scale pretty well, but it's not hypercarry scaling. Pay attention to his stance. He gets defense when he's in hammer form, which makes him surprisingly tough. Jayce is an all-rounder, meaning he's got a decent response to pretty much every situation, but he can't get away except by running or knocking you away. Dashes and hard CC wreck his day.

That magical moment when you realize the internet isn't a hivemind

Also, he's pre nerf Nidalee with an AoE spear at double the projectile speed.

Champions with a method of forcing engages work very well against him. Irelia and Fiora are probably two of his biggest counters because their damage murders squishy champions and they can easily reengage on him after he knocks them back (if Irelia engaged by Qing to a low minion).

Jayce typically pushes the lane for level advantage and to poke them when they CS under tower and he doesn't really have any escapes other than minor MS boosts, so he's pretty easy to gank if you track his ward positions and timers for your jungler.

Also, there used to be a bug where the damage from Jax's jump would be reapplyied after Jax was knocked away, which made the matchup much easier. Not sure if they fixed it yet...

Pantheon is offended to be compared to that fancy dandy boy eye candy. ^ this guy counters him... hard and irelia... and wukong... fiora, etc. LeeSin Zed Fizz counters everyone so... pffft... "literally no champ counters this guy" my ass

My biggest issue with him has always been the ad-scaling mixed damage. He counter bruisers top so hard because you simply cannot itemize against that fast enough, and you have to build defense when you're at a disadvantage. Do I think it's unwinnable? No. Does that make it any more fun to deal with? No. It's kinda like when ad nidalee was all the rage.
