I think Pyke was meant to be a mid laner
I was thinking alot about this after a 4v5 that I had the other day with a mid lane Pyke singlehandedly carrying the entire 4v5 match by himself the entire time without the afk Brand who was clearly not needed whatsoever,the Pyke on my team went 20/5/5. A mid lane Pyke can easily snowball his entire team with all that execute gold,I was getting like 700g-800g sometimes from teamfights. With a real tanky CC support at bot lane on his team,Pyke can have some ridiculous influence in a match if he gets fed,then basically everyone else gets fed.
