Jayce's viability in the top lane

I've recently started maining the top lane and found Jayce to be quite an interesting champion, but I'd like to practice champions that are likely to remain viable in at least solo queue. I feel like Jayce might (indirectly) get nerfed out of the top lane and into the mid lane, which is where people played him prior to the introduction of lethality. Do you guys think that Jayce will remain a viable toplaner, or is it the meta that makes him a viable toplaner?
