Is jayce really that hard?

this is a discussion about jayce's difficulty. personally i find him hard at first, but once i got the general idea of how to trade with him, how squishy or damaging he is, i realized he isnt such a bad character afterall

although it took me a good 10-20 games before i understood him well, HE WAS MY FIRST MAIN CHAMP. and i just started late last year. so about 4 months of experience till now. but to be fair i had already wasted so much time on league after i got addicted. and in this meta, Jayce is doing pretty well. but i find him really good in low ranks aswell.

right now i have 60 games with him with a 62% winrate, i find that his runes play a major, major role when it comes to winning. this also includes his build. although his builds doesnt really vary that much as the manamune and eclipse are essential, jayce can scale alot better if he has built for the enemy team.

the main reason why i think jayce is hard is because hes alot different than other champions. especially without that ultimate it feels odd. but i just started league so i wasnt really used to that idea yet. but knowing when to transform is relatively easy if you can note in your mind a couple of rules that you can learn while playing him.
