Pyke is broken?

I don't think I've seen a single game where he hasn't gone insanely fed. His ability to dive down onto an area, and execute people, then dive back is powerful enough in its own right, then there's the hook, the stun, and I just feel like its a bit overwhelming to be honest :/

My latest experience was in an ARAM and he got one quadra kill after another, a pentakill and just kept going. I was at 80% health at one point and just got one shot.

It could be just me, but...he feels broken.

ARAM or not, I had 2 fully built lethality items and a dirk in my inventory. My ult, at rank 2, did over 800 damage. That was half of basically the entire enemy teams health. I didn't even need to land a hook. I just walked up, pressed R a few times, and got 3 kills.

If that's not broken, then I don't know what is, because health regen isn't saving you when my ult is doing 800 damage.

Executing low health enemies resets the ult, too. Don't forget.

He is. jesus, just watch at his ult numbers - 500 hp threshold to kill target and deal aoe damage, wtf is that?And imagine pyke actually building lethality and damage

Try jungle pyke. Hook 'em. If they escape, ult them. Its not even fair. Also if he kills the person, IT RESETS. Just doing it ONCE is already enough, and one of those aspects of that ult is already dangerous.

He also gets to build as an assassin not a support, so that base Ult damage and now lethality scaling on his ult hurts even more.

All AD assassins in ARAM have 47% or below win rate, he has 52% at the mo.

Pyke was NERFED into building assassin items. Before he built tank.

I can get what you're saying, but I really can't relate... What is he gonna do without his hook? Just stay behind minions and try to dodge.

dive the other team and kill 'em all at the same time, or even one person. It resets when he kills someone, so he just does it again.

Yes, but you gotta be low enough, cc him, or just kill him; he can't build health so he's easily killed...

you know he has a movement buff, right? as long as he's decent enough he'll either people able to dodge your cc or hook the carry, and then you cant do anything.
