League of Legends has released a new champion, Jayce, the Defender of Tomorrow. Whether you want to get up close with a gigantic blunt instrument, or shake things up from a distance, Jayce is your man. Equipped with hi-tech armor he crushes skulls with the Mercury Hammer, which also transforms into his ultimate weapon: the Mercury Cannon, which grants him new abilities and increased range.

Abilities (Mercury Hammer):

- Hextech Capacitor (Passive): Jayce gains a quick burst of movement speed and ignores unit collision each time Transform is cast
- To the Skies!: Jayce leaps to an enemy dealing physical damage and slowing enemies.
- Lightning Field:
Passive: Jayce restores mana per strike.
Active: Jayce creates a field of lightning damaging nearby enemies for several seconds.
- Thundering Blow: Jayce deals magic damage to an enemy based on their maximum health and knocks them back a short distance.
- Transform: Mercury Cannon (Ultimate): Transforms the Mercury Hammer into the Mercury Cannon gaining new abilities and increased range. The first attack in this form reduces the target's Armor and Magic Resist.
