so i noticed pykes e didnt do dmg on jungle mobs today now i get that u want to nerf him in the mid lane which is what u stated in the patch notes BUT why the fuck would u nerf jungle pyke ive never seen anybody but me play him in the jungle so why do u nerf him in the jungle when u want to nerf his laning makes nooooo sense. i would really appriciate if u reversed the change to at least make him playable in the jgl, the only fix im asking for is to make his e hit jungle monsters or u at least explain to me why pyke jungle desearves a hit when ur aiming at nerfing him in lane.Pyke (i get that jungle counts as a lane but read the patch note they state that) We're targeting solo lane Pyke because his strong anti-harass tools make him an impossible-to-avoid death trap if he gets too far ahead. To help curb that, we're specifically hitting his wave clear. everything theyre refering to is his laning and not jungle clearing etc

Pyke deserves a rework, not a nerf. He is singlehandedly the worst champion design to ever hit the rift.

He's not viable in the jungle to begin with.

They probably are just locking him into the support role this way before eventually something shifts in the meta that makes him viable in the jungle.. just like how camille was released, went everywhere, got hit slightly so she couldn't jungle.. but because they kept her E interaction on monsters she was still able to do it and completely take over the role once the meta shifted to support her.

Bottom line is they learned he's a support and should stay that way.

Jungle is considered a lane, and their aim was to nerf Pyke in SOLO LANES. Ergo they did exactly what they meant to do by removing the effects of his E on everything but enemy champs. They nerfed SOLO Pyke.

People play him jungle over support riot nerfs then tank top over support nerfs again he goes mid nerfs again still lane as him he gets nerfed once more. When will they understand that an Assassin does not work as a support

He needs to be nerfed on Jng too, tired of champs being viable on several roles outclassing champs that can only go 1

And Pyke literally could be played on 5 roles, good riddance.
