There were a lot of problems to solve and of course Jayce just threw himself into the situation as soon as he got the authority to. The Council gave him that job, which was genuinely a stupid idea for someone who had no experience at all, and they'd mostly been ignoring it until then. Maybe they thought he'd change nothing substantial, only catch the people in trouble and be the end of it. As time went and he grew in power, he still had his eye on changing things, rooting out corruption. But the fact is, Jayce thought he could fix everything, and he definitely can't. One person can't. It was always going to end badly.
"I knew it was a long shot, that Piltover would be okay with the drastic change, but I felt like something had to be done. Things had to change. Progress wasn't happening fast enough. They weren't going to let the Undercity have power naturally." Humans don't live for centuries, he told Heimerdinger, before they kicked him off the Council. Jayce is young and bold and arrogant in this way, he wanted to take aciton, push what he saw as right. Now he wonders if he will ever get it right.
He messed up. His intentions had been good but he didn't act correctly. Now they're going to struggle more because of it. Jayce feels a lot of responsibility and guilt for all of it. "I know we just met, I have a tendency to latch onto people quickly, I appreciate your kindness." He has remarkable self-awareness about his flaws!
He pulls open the door to Mag's Inn and gestures inside. It's a nice place that has essentially become Summoned central. "I think it's pretty much all Summoned who live here at this point, with a few exceptions. The owner is really kind."
