If any of you have been paying attention to the competitive scene jayce is a first pick first ban in high elo. He absolutely crushes top lane in competitive play and has very little counterplay.

His design has no downfall. He is literally everything a toplaner should aspire to be and more that most toplaners can even hope to come close to. The root of the problem is in 3 aspects about him: Poke, disengage, and range/melee forms.

He can sit at range and poke you while dropping aggro via brush just as a ad nidalee would. He gets a 10 second Shurelia's that gives him even stronger poke that is AOE and next to impossible to dodge and it nukes really hard early.

Most of his damage scales with AD so he gets to boost both his attack and spell damage by building one stat.

Any fight that is not in his favor can be solved by simply swatting enemy away and then following up with ranged poke. Most champions rely on dashes to reach so imagine you dash in on jayce and then boom he combos you and knocks you away before you can do any real harm causing him to win the trade and gain leverage over you.

He still get defensive stats so even the small amount that he does get helps plus half the time he doesn't even take damage due to the mobility and disengage and even when he does it normally at a fraction of the damage he just dealt to the opposing enemy.

I could go on an on but he lacks some serious counter play right now and he is not fun to play against because you cannot effective trade with him or even fight him. You just merely take hits from him till you are whittled down and forced out of lane.

He is a major problem in the korean scene and pretty much perma banned or first pick every game in high elo because of what he brings.
