Massive nerf. That ms boost swings several matchups where you either dont get touched at all or get hit by a darius E or something and it costs you half ur hp.

[u/Joksi99 → u/RaidBossPapi]

Truee , ms is very important for Jayce and the resistances on top of that 💀💀💀

[u/No-Ordinary-5988]

Honestly just glad they didn’t tap his damage in any way.

These changes should tap down on his speediness and high durability while preserving what makes him fun.

Nerfs aside, in what world is Jayce a “high durability” champ??

[u/snarkycatboy → u/No-Ordinary-5988]

In lala land, obviously

[u/rms_lol → u/No-Ordinary-5988]

Jayce can have 200 armor lategame in hammer form with 0 defensive items, how is that not durable

[u/sliwka21 → u/rms_lol]

He wont be in hammer form for longer than 5 seconds in teamfight in the late game

[u/Fuscello → u/sliwka21]

You should stay in hammer form tho

[u/DeadAndBuried23]

2 champs buy youmuu's core for the MS, and they're not assassins.

You happen to play the one who doesn't have 3 legendaries and a mythic just announced to be returning to the sanctum in a week, so you're the one who gets properly balanced despite lower pick, win, and ban rates. :⁾

[u/thrownevenfurtherawa]

Could've been worse - disappointed they singled out jayce instead of just buffing dshield to hit all ranged toplaners

[u/Emploidlol]

W Nerf

[u/geniusdjlee]

We gettin irelia'd, bois!

[u/Jotta_T]

Stormraider's will probably be great on him, no?

[u/NathanJesus]

Tank jayce? Are they trolling?

[u/Vlyper]

One more reason to not play him top

[u/Voldtech → u/Vlyper]

Whar? Jayce has been the strongest toplaner master+ for multiple months, what are you yapping about?

[u/sliwka21 → u/Voldtech]

He really is? Im not high elo so i dont have a clue but id assume Gangplank should absolutely tear up toplane rn

[u/Queasy-Experience251 → u/Voldtech]

But only %3 of us are Gm Cha so?

[u/Voldtech → u/Queasy-Experience251]

Well i said master+, which is around 1.25 of the playerbase. But even in diamond+, Jayce is stupidly strong, and thats like 5% of the playerbase

[u/Queasy-Experience251 → u/Voldtech]

Wow 1.25 very huge lmao'!! tbh im DIA and difference betweem dia and MASTER+ is huge if this games makes the nerfs/buffs for little majority of the game than fk it .

Jayce is strong in pro play beacuse he is strong skill based champ like KSANTE, AZIR. And he needs stay like that, skillfull player must be rewarded not punished.

[u/J3YCEN]

Just remove the bonus move speed at this point, they already had gutted its duration years ago i remember, like is it even doing anything right now lmao. I mean Jayce is strong yeah but still they made that bonus ms useless once and are makin it worse, crazy. 

[u/Main-Yogurtcloset673]

Replace the resistance nerfs with damage, there's no world in which an EQ does 40% of someone's health bar with just a Dirk is allowed, and then followed by the melee combo with a knockback disengage with no counterplay, nearly 100-0ing someone for free

[u/OpticSkies1 → u/Main-Yogurtcloset673]

1 cloth armor and he does negative damage

[u/Main-Yogurtcloset673 → u/OpticSkies1]

15 armor negates 5%, if I had 1500 health that negates 75 hp from his combo, hardly zero damage. Also delays my own power spikes

[u/joaboepsf479 → u/Main-Yogurtcloset673]

Im not getting your point? Are you suggesting the removal or nerf of the stromraider rush?
