Eld, you're getting too concerned with the starting point. With ADCarries, that's not the biggest concern. The concern is their end-game, and if Jayce can leverage the overall combo better than other champions, it really doesn't matter that he's 'wasting stats'.

And costs an additional slot. Why do people forget that?
