Played some Jayce as ADC lately

Jayce ADC is imho strong - it's like playing Sivir+Varus merged into one.

Pros: - Huge powerspike in midgame regardless of early game outcome - Nice trading potential in hammer form - Awesome siege potential - AoE MS for all teammates - Self peel in dire situations - Fast waveclear and destructive splitpush (he just blast turrets like it's nothing w/ 130% dmg on W) - Erases squishies with full build like hypercarry (cannon form: E+Q+W is enough to remove ADC from the game and regret to hit install button)

Cons: - Inconsistent damage (sometimes you murder everyone, sometimes you can't pull any dmg in teamfight) - No powerspike at level 6 - 500 aa range - No CC outside hammer form - Hammer form is useless in teamfight (only for duels, self-peel, chases and secures) - When is activated your "self-peel mode" you are forced to stay in that form for 4 sec (after next patch 3,5 sec)

There is unwritten rule that every ADC needs at least one item for AS... well it doesn't work with Jayce. His AS scales along with CDR because of his W in cannon form (so it's important to max Q>W>E>R)

Full build (pre-v4.12) Manamune, Ionia boots, Black Cleaver (finish it in late game - brutalizer works fine until late) Bloodthrister (build early lifesteal), Last Whisper, defensive item.

obvious problem with build above is there is no crit but it will be fixed in next patch when you can throw away BT and Manamune and put there Essence Reaver (which can replace them both) and Infinity Edge (FOR MOAR DAMAGEZ FROM W!!!!1111)

Build post v4.12 Essence Reaver, Ionia boots, brutalizer, Infinity Edge, Last Whisper, defensive item, Black Cleaver

Gonna test it more on ranked then I'll report better results.
