When Pyke was put on PBE, I thought he seemed pretty balanced for a new champion

The new item, "Spear of Shojin", changes that completely.

Spear of Shojin Recipe: [B. F. Sword + Kindlegem + 900g] Total Cost: 3000g +65 Attack Damage +200 Health +10% Cooldown Reduction UNIQUE Passive: Reduce damage from champion attacks and abilities by 10 plus 15% of bonus attack damage. UNIQUE Passive: When Near at least 3 enemy champions, attack to gain Dragon Heart (90s cooldown). Dragon Heart: Block 200% more damage for 6s, refreshing on takedown.

Pyke is a menace to the backline. If he isn't killed fast, he's gonna kill somebody. Now that he can shrug off 30 (+45% bonus AD) damage from every attack/spell thrown at him in a teamfight, good fucking luck killing him before he kills you.

This isn't just a Pyke problem, by the way. Any champion who tends to come by high amounts of bonus AD can become stupidly durable.

with his bonetooth with whisper with Masochism+Atmas (oh yeah, they're addind Atmas back into the game), as if he wasn't hard enough to kill already. with Noxian Might

just from their other core items.

This is problematic.
