Perfectly reasonable Pyke nerfs in my opinion

  1. His passive no longer kicks-in if he is still taking damage from DoTs

What this achieves: Pyke no longer tanks your ignite for free by going out of vision since ignite doesn't reveal stealthed targets; Also Brand's passive in lane and things like Liandry soft counter Pyke by delaying the regen

2)Grey health decays if you don't consume it. Have you seen Pyke sit on grey health for like 30 secs?

What this achieves: if Pyke takes a bad trade, he needs to consume the grey health or lose it, meaning he loses some lane pressure for the ADC and some exp potentially; just ward the far lane bush and you force him out of lane for a few secs each time

3)Revert the gold generation.

Literally everyone asked for that.

Regarding the 2 nerfs to his passive, you can't have one of highest base armor/HP in the game and such regen on the same champ. That would be Tahm Kench. A meatshield tank, not a hyper-mobile assassin with an execute.

600-2300 HP with 45-130 armor it's nuts. You cannot outtrade a Pyke by any means early unless he misses everything.

  1. I dont agree with dots preventing his passive. If ignite (and other dots) dont reveal stealthed targets and he regens hp when he's not visible, it makes no sense for that to happen.

  2. This change would gut his passive and it would be useless. Why would you want to punish pyke way harder than other champs for making a mistake? His passive isnt a problem, period.

  3. I agree, no need to get so much gold.

Oh and btw his high base armor and hp mean shit when you dont build a lot of resistances and you cannot get bonus hp from items.

You dont need to revert the gold generation, you could instead change it so the amount of gold that is gifted from the cut is based on R rank. Currently its between 100-300 based on bounty, with a extra 100 if its a FB. If we made it so that its 100 gold rank 1, 200 rank 2, and 300 rank 3, it could keep him from snowballing too hard since gold wont be based on bounty (which is a huge change if you consider situations). Having it at 300 rank 3 allows him to be able to get items he might need late game, while the lower gold amount for rank 1 and 2 keeps his snowball at a healthy pace. As for passive shenanagins, just make his W reveal him in full vision if he takes damage during it.
