These Pyke changes

Ghostwater Dive (W) Mana cost lowered from 75 to 50 Movement speed changed from [60/65/70/75/80% (+4% per 100 bAD)] to [30% (+2% per point of Lethality)] (max 178% Movespeed)

Phantom Undertow (E) stun duration changed from [1.1/1.2/1.3/1.4/1.5] to [1.1 + .1 per 10 Lethality] (max 1.84 seconds)

First of Rito is finally making abilities scale with lethality. Looking forward to see where this goes, plus it discourages the annoying tank Pyke.

But his W scaling is just way too high. At rank 1 the skill is gonna be half of what it is now, which is quite a huge nerf to his early game. However, as soon as he finishes item 3147 , the ms is gonna jump from 30% to a whopping 72% at rank 1. If he has Sudden Impact, is gonna reach 86% bonus movement speed, which is equal to his rank 5. Im not even gonna say whats gonna happen when he gets item 3142 item 3814 .....

I feel like this would just simply force him to rush letha way too early for his own good. Perhaps a reducion in the scaling and increasing the base would be good.

This is going to kill Pyke. Tank build may have been OP but Lethality is too weak because he is supposed to be a support. Riot is literally forcing Pyke players to build Lethality if they want to actually be decent.

I agree, this makes him extremely gold-dependent, especially for a support.

Admittedly, it would probably be really fun to build all three Lethality items, pop Predator, Ghost, and Youmuu's with Mobi Boots and a fully-stacked Relentless Hunter to dash across the map while Camouflaged.

Ahaaa Hello Dear Summoners. I Built lethality pyke today after the update and the movement speed I got from W was 40% + 83% Even after having all 3 of the game's lethality items. Before the update I could get upto 40% + 120%(Before you cry about that it was decaying so I only had that amount for the first second of W). The Lethality Ratios are actually a nerf. W, E, Passive Nerfed. R Buffed but it was not needed and it gives like +70 dmg to his ult.
