Well it really depends on who is playing the champs and how they play them (both sides). Jayce is still outranged by most Distance Carries and Fighters. Not to mention he is handicapped when pitted against experienced players.

Jayce is a popular choice for his wide range of utility and skills. But other than that, he is outclassed by most others, especially those who have range capabilities and are as fast as if not faster than him.

Each Form puts Jayce with a set skill kit, so you can literally predict what they'll do in varius situations. Go Hammer Form, you know he is gunna come chargin at you like a mad man and deal major damage to you if he is at full or near full HP. Take on Cannon Form, you know he is gunna focus on farming or try to harrass you with his Q pokes.

These are but a handful of Jayce's issues. Even though he has a vast arrange of tools, he is already predictable. Not only that, each Form has a specfic weakness. Melee can be kited and his Q, despite being a gap closer is only good when on the offensive and can be evaded with flash, or if timed right, with a haste skill. W, which retard is gunna stay upclose to him when that shitt is active? E, unless used as a finisher or as a wallin skill, it is gunna mess up in team fights and u might lose a kill rather than get a kill.

His Cannon Form is also a problem. He has only 500 Range. He can be kited by every range types. Only one who he can possibly kite would be Draven and we know he ain't comin top any time soon. All of his Cannon Form's main skill sequences are telegraphed so you can tell how he is gunna play.

I know it really depends on who controls Jayce, but in most cases, what I've mentioned here happen like 90% of the time. Even in ranked games. I've fought like God knows how many Jayces and believe me, I've never lost a lane fight against him. Only time he would overwhelm me is when I get ganked by his Jungler as well and this is when I don't use any solid counter Champs against him.
