Why are people knocking Pyke as a Jungler or laner?

I didn't get to play Pyke in PBE because I'm generally a semi toxic player who at least gets chat bans (for basically telling teams to report int feeders..... no cussing, no real arguments.... )

But...... omfg..... I've been jungling him in ranked.

I don't have it down entirely yet and I make some poor decisions about whether to farm or gank..... but....

He clears like a Yasuo or Zed or Tryndamere!

I don't know who thought he had a weak clear. His mobility + damage on the mobility just erases jungle paths, and he can level 2 Krugs. Just destroys scuttles. His HP scaling and AD scaling just allows him to chew through drakes too....

I'm averaging 9 CS/minute as jungle early game.... 12 CS/minute late game.

He's also VERY anti invade. Haven't been killed on an invade yet as I just E foward and they cannot follow. If they do, They're stunned, and if they chase me to a turret..... I just Q Hold them.... and pull them in for a kill.

If I can just get into lanes more and sacrifice ~ 20 cs..... He's more monstrous than a Rengar or Khazix

Both of his main damaging skills at Rank 1 are at 16 second cooldown, which is a pretty long cooldown if you're looking forward for fast camp clearing.

Well, you're trying him in ranked when you don't have a lot of experience with him for one, and two he has shit for clearing minion waves

Just naturally better in my opinion, Pyke support is quite bad unless your ADC has a lot of damage at their disposal. In addition Pyke can set up pretty good ganks if played right.
