Pyke Missed opportunity

A bounty hunter mechanic would make SO much sense on him thematically. The first time you kill a champion you get like some AD or something, the actual bonus given is not what's important, and hell it does not need to be that much at all, but it fits with him crossing names off his list. Riot I hope you tested this and decide it was not a fit for some reason, AD is perhaps not the best stat I know for a few reasons but it's the first one that comes to mind. Just imagine the fantasy, you double kill bot so now you start thinking about how you can kill mid to strike their name off the list too. It does have a slight problem in that that implies that Pyke is done with killing bot though, which from the sounds of thinks killing someone once does not strike them from the list.

The more fundamental problem it's addressing is all the promotional material talk up this mythical list he has, and talk about striking names off his list and all that jazz...but there is no list! Even a slight nod would go a LONG way to completing his fantasy, as right now that critical detail feels left off.

Fucking hell, what if you just added a buff with the list of all the people he's killed? You hover over it and it shows, in order, the names of the people you killed, and if you kill someone twice their name goes on their twice. Man that actually might be even better, that way you don't have to risk balance tweaks, and it keeps the idea that he will keep killing you over and over, and the idea that his list keeps on growing. There is a lot of design space here to play with, but keeping it simple is often best.

Riot plz!

Doesn't Kindred already do something like that? Even Garen has a similar mechanic.
