Props to you for your honesty. Most people are just blindly defensive of champions they play/like, particularly when it comes to accusations of them being in any way too strong. Myself included, in all likelihood, although I like to think I at least try to avoid blatant unsubstantiated bias. :p

I personally feel that it's kind of funny that Jayce fans mostly seemed to regard him as trash and in need of buffs... right up until he was played in Worlds and Riot lined him up for more nerfs, at which point they couldn't really make that case any more.

I think he has certain issues that make him hard to balance in his current state (mainly the obscene strength of Cannon E-Q poke at almost all stages of the game on top of his other strengths, but also his sheer range of laning phase tools which mean that he has very few outright bad matchups and plenty of good ones) which will almost always lead to him being one of those champions that are always either OP or UP. I'm very skeptical of the current PBE changes which work out as almost unambiguous Jayce buffs because I think in his current state he's at least very tricky to get right, even if there is a theoretical balance "sweet spot", and they've done nothing to address that. I think if they go through he'll just be OP again for a bit (maybe sleeper for a while, who knows?) and then Riot will produce a fresh round of nerfs which make him underpowered until someone figures out a new way to abuse him. Just my two cents, but I'm admittedly not a great fan of Jayce as he is at the moment so maybe I'm just salty.
