I wish the Pyke nerfs kept his jungle clear viable.

I understand that pyke needed to be nerfed in lane as his presence was too strong, however much like many champs who get the hammer in one lane it tends to always screw their jungle clear as well. I'm on off meta jungler who used to play a load of pyke, until recently, and have switched to mord since his rework. Now I get that pyke is a support firstly before any other role, but his jungle presence at least to me was never a tremendous issue. It was countered by early junglers who could take his camps to set him behind, and his abilites had to be hit or his entire gank was a wash. Yet since the nerfs to pyke his once mediocre clear has become impossible. I agree that his q and e need to be nerfed against minions, I just wish that they kept the monster damage so he could at least still jungle. I'm sure a lot of people will disagree but I just want to say that a good chunk of leagues roster fills multiple roles. I've seen morgana mid, vayne top, yi mid, etc. Now while they may not be as powerful as the lane they were intended for at least it could be pulled off. Unless anyone has found a way to clear jungle on pyke with his nerfs, I'd really like to see some changes that would allow him back into the jungle.

I LOVED playing Pyke jungle months back before the jungle became the shit show it is now.

Made me really sad when I saw the nerfs. Like they were justified yes, but why not just nerf his minion wave clear while keeping the monster wave clear the same

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING. He was oppressive in lane for sure but why'd you have to gut him in jungle too.
