Why Pyke?

I have been a support Pyke main in low gold basically since he came out. He was never super OP, but I learned to love his playstyle and currently I play him every game that I can. When solo lane Pyke got popular, I was happy that Pyke was seeing some more play but ultimately it didn't affect me as a support. When Riot nerfed Pyke, I tried playing him in the PBE and I realized how even though these nerfs were to solo lane Pyke, it greatly affected the way I play him as a support. I can no longer waveclear whatsoever so if a wave is crashing on the turret and my adc is returning from base I can't stop the wave from dealing loads of damage to bot turret (with the enemy bot duos help). In the late game, I used to like to split push a bit with my q+e but now I need a Hydra item to do that effectively. I was confused why Pyke was getting this harsh of a nerf considering that he was strong in solo lanes but not OP and he hasn't been good for as long as many other champs. Sure, Riot can lower his q+e damage a bit but getting rid of his aoe stab and completely taking out his e damage to minions just seems way to harsh. These are fundamental mechanics on Pyke that are being changed, not damage ratios. Pyke support players shouldn't have to deal with a nerf on an already B-tier support. Sorry for the rant, I just needed to get this off of my chest because as a Pyke main, this heavily discourages me from playing my champion and as a result discourages me from playing League.
