Jayce still too weak?

After seeing the patch notes where Jayce graciously received a buff to his hammer q mana cost, i decided to pick him up again and relearn him, as he has been fun in the past and figure why not give him a go....

Come to find out how ever awesome the buff was to his Q... he still falls apart thanks to this WONDEROUS META.... where 6 of his 8 counters are God tier in gamescurrently... http://champion.gg/champion/Jayce Or how all that seems to be accomplished in the end is you are a knockback bot for team... But the oddity is his spike is still there. item 3042 item 3142 item 3071. It all falls flat due to him not having the tanks stats every other top laner has now with the damage to match... Albeit the problem is jayce has VERY high ratios... so any boosts can send him over the top, which is bad... which is odd because outside of his EQ, there isn't anything all that good about him, he is pokey, but he can never seem to get in to get the kill he worked so hard to whittle down..

Is it only me thinking he is weak? Build? Please discuss.

He is really weak in this meta. He's not a tank, assassin, or mage; he has no clear role at the moment, and since Riot is focusing on direct classes, he really does benefit from anything. He can't dive since he is pretty squishy, yet suffers from range as it's not as consistent damage wise as most ranged champs. This was the same in Season 5 and they buffed him by giving him additional evolve slots and now just buffed his hammer yet he's still useless. He needs hard numbers in health and AD to bring him around I think.

Honestly, I thought something was bugged, he was supposedly got that buff as you mention, but I don't remember him being quite as useless as he was when I played him recently.
