I do agree that he has a bit too much going for him currently. Most people who are vocally negative about jayce say he has poor design, but I'm more of the opinion that the issue is with other champions having been nerfed below the level Jayce seems to be at currently.

For example, Elise and Nidalee (two other melee-to-ranged poke champs) had their resistances removed from their melee forms. There was really no capacity which Jayce has been played in that those two haven't, so it does not make much sense--it used to be that people could build damage items without much defence on Nid/Elise, but now Jayce has more of a monopoly on that build pathing. It seems to me, just my point of view, to make him rather too strong up until everyone has near their full build.

I think if multiple other champions hadn't been nerfed, he would be just as good as most anyone else.
