I like how everybody (mostly jayce players) says he doesn't have an ultimate when he does. It is not visually distinct like amumu's ult where you see it and you say "omg thats so strong" it is an ult that has a lot of power but people don't pay attention to.

Up to 25% armor and magic resist shred on next hit is nothing to scoff at. And 35 free armor and mr is also a lot of free stats. To say he doesn't have an ultimate is simply a lie. His ultimate allows him to change skillsets and get a bunch of free stats. You don't see a big HEY HERE IS AN ULT THAT WILL DESTROY YOU type of animation, but it definitely has the numbers for an ultimate type skill.

As a disclaimer, I believe he is simply a really strong pick right now. And definitely still one of the top three for top lane. Although I generally try to judge without preconceptions of "this is OP because I say so" and go by statistics, numbers, and preformance. All of which are generally good with Jayce. His Q still has a 392 base damage (higher than most people's non ult skills) nuke. With high scaling and a decent base damage un amp'ed. His Accel gate is still a cheap shurelia's reverie for the team and we all know how good the active on that item is. And he has the benefit of being a tanky bruiser that can farm in ranged form, and change to hammer to wreck face after poking somebody down. He is very very strong, and I wouldn't rate him any lower than #2 for strongest top lane.
