I like to play Ap Blitzcrank. But when I meet a Pyke, he just seems to have the same kit. Passive: Shield/Hp Regen Q: Pull/Grab/Quick Damage + Slow. W: Mobility not sure if Pykes W is a bit better than Blitz, when he slows himself and Pyke stealth's. E: CC / CC mobility. R: Execute ability one with 0.2 silence or something and the other which can resets and give your allies gold. Maybe time to rework Blitzcrank or disable him?
Blitzcrank's passive gives him a large shield when get gets low on a 90 second cooldown. Pyke's passive gives him sustain through poke. One is good for surviving burst damage, while the other is good for lane sustain.
Blitzcrank's Hook can pull enemies farther than Pyke can. Pyke pulls a set distance, so a max-range harpoon won't actually pull the enemy all the way to you. Blitzcrank pulls the enemy the entire length of the skillshot, making it much more effective for catching enemies out. Blitz's hook is also hard CC (a stun) with no charge up time, but Pyke's is just a slow and needs a moment to charge. It also deals more damage than Pyke's harpoon.
Overdrive gives Blitzcrank not only more movement speed, but more attack speed as well. He is able to attack freely while it's active. Pyke might get stealth, but he can't attack without breaking the stealth and losing all of the movement speed.
Blitzcrank's knockup is an empowered auto attack; you can't avoid it. Pyke's is a reverse skillshot. It gives the enemy a warning and the ability to dodge it.
Blitzcrank and Pyke have different ults entirely. Blitz can deal a ton of damage to the entire enemy team and interrupt their abilities, while Pyke can blink around finishing off enemies. Blitz also gets a sizable amount of sustained damage from the passive component from his ult. One is sustained damage and CC, one is an execute. Blitz can start a fight, Pyke ends it. They're not really comparable.
It's also worth mentioning that Blitzcrank can actually build health. He can actually get tankier as the game progresses, where Pyke is always stuck at his base value of health. Pyke is always squishy.
They are different champions, even though they do similar things. Blitz doesn't need to get removed just because Pyke exists.
by far. More mobility, more sustain, more damage, more escape & security, lower CDs, ability to engage. The only thing blitz can do better is tank damage
is this some kind of joke... is better...
there no "if ands or buts"
pyke is broken... blitz isn't
end of discussion...

Blitz is by far more influential, but Pyke is more fun.
Blitz is guaranteed kills on pulls, and can heavily disrupt objectives..... leashes, and has a guaranteed maximum range of his pull that makes the pullee travel further than Pyke's.
Pyke's Q's often end up short, and only transport a pullee 400 range.... often meaning he is not in a position to stun, and doesn't generally control objectives in a small area.
The "Certainty" of Blitz puts him on top. Pyke has to work angles, and not risk dying because he has no skills left to get out of. And, he can't raise his HP, which is a death sentence vs a lot of pullees. If you pull a champ, you better be certain you can get out.
Pyke also has a dismally low Base AD, so Sheens' don't create massive HP depletion in one auto attack, like Blitz's does. Pyke has to toy with a victim. Blitz does 70-80% Hp damage in one Q > E
I'll give you something else to chew on:
I generally run tank leaning Pykes.
I just had a Jungle Kai sa kill me .25 seconds into an E from full HP using 
. That's how quickly Pyke dies....... a wrong build Kai Sa with no Armor Penetration with similar gold incomes....... shreds him without even going the AP path. Blitz would survive that.
I think in low elo, Blitz can be as good or better.
Probably in higher elo, as your skill, and your opponents skill improves, Pyke would be considered better all around.
Pyke is the scum of the earth and it's sad we have to waste a ban on this broken POS. He is the epitome of bad design. He is immortal in lane, has no consequences, and has a ridiculous amount of cc and mobility. If Riven had 900 range opening CC, her name would be Pyke. It is sad how obnoxiously uncounterable Pyke is.
It is to the point where simply not fighting for 30 minutes is the only viable strategy to "counter" him.
