I know 1 day is not enough to judge a champ's over all performance and state, but I would like to know how people see him so far as a support/assassin

he deals no damage in lane, while being too squishy he's supposed to be a kill lane support but can't kill at all and lose all-ins to enchanters

they hotfixed his base AD already , but it should be more, 62 is not enough should be at least 64

How were you building him? What keystone and runes? We’re you trying to 1 v x or were you playing with the team?

Against live players, he struggles. I feel like he can't really do well as a support because his dash is incredibly telegraphed and easily avoided - they simply sidestep and they're out of it. His yank, again, is super telegraphed, and his hook is really only minorly effective as a quick hit slow. I don't think he can do a lot to add pressure to a lane as a support through damage alone, nor can he effectively CC people, which leads him to feeling bleh. It also doesn't help that his visual radius for his camo is about the same distance he can dash, which means that you're not catching anyone by surprise by using E out of stealth. It all translates into a pretty lackluster champ who just feels like a tag-along-tertiary-carry.

So far I've been playing him in the jungle. He has Terrible scaling on his spells with high CD, his clear is slow, he has CC but both are skill shots that need lots of practice to be able to land. And to me his major problem is the {W} stealth radius, its not fair and assassin is easily detected from a high radius, yet an ADC like twitch can have a better stealth.

Squishy AF that his out of combat healing rarely comes into effect especially with how out of control damage is No real opening support item. He wants AD but has to pick HP, AP or sustain He kit encourages him to to all in/initiate yet is an assassin with fewer items/gold bc he's support so doesnt really do it well

Relic Shield translates it's HP into his AD. He doesn't need a "real" opening support item when his kit makes Relic Shield that item for him.

Played him as support. I played him kinda like thresh. Game him the resolve tree with aftershock, bone plating, second wind and overgrowth. Then took sorcery with celerity and water walker. I think resolve worked because it gave him more sustain and still compensated building damage.

He was fun and was able to set up plays like thresh. Third item I would definitely build resistance depending on you’re enemy (dead man’s, spirit, etc). I don’t think he is weak because he gets tons of ad from his build. I think just getting resistances compensates for his eternal squishiness. R is gonna take some practice because it isn’t a point and click lock on move so baiting out dashes and flash will be necessary. Overall because I like playing thresh, Pyke will be fun and a good addition.
