Pyke: Really Riot?

I don't want to hate on the new champ. Really. I even like his Q and E.

My problems:

Pyke's W: Ghostwater Dive: This seems to be very similar to the older W, just inverted.

Pyke's R: Death from Below: Did we really need another execute ultimate? Really? Especially since this seems to be practically unstoppable?

Are you sure?

(I admit, not all of these are true "executes," and some are skillshots, but the concept is there.)

Again, I don't like the fact that I have issues with the new champ, even before they're released, but I'm getting frustrated with the sheer number of different executes it seems we have to have in the game.

Edit: Added to the list. Thanks to Timyearly for pointing that out.

Are you kidding. Not jumping on the hype train (i don't play support anyway) but this guys looks exactly how they described him: an ASSASSIN support. He can't be like a normal assassin (he'd die too easily and have no cc) so they have fixed this by giving him cc, engage and a hook, while his damage is likely to be mediocre compared to the likes of Zed/Talon. Also note the gold and xp changes for support will be release with him.

He might make a good jungler too depending on his clear, but if not I wanna see this guy roaming like the assassin he is!

His Q is Blitz Q and Swains E in one.

HIs Ult looks BROKEN and Resets on kill WTF. Team with a Pyke get Literally 2x Gold on a kill in a team fight. Remember They are removing team gold on shutdowns.

You missed Urgot, the one champ with a proper execute. So basically this will be a chogath ult with Katarina resets. Brilliant! Plus did any one notice bonus ad with HP.l?

He’s pretty bad at the Moment his main problems if they don’t alter his kit is his ability to no gain max hp that would fix a lot if he stays the same as he currently is.

If his kit is gonna change his q shouldn’t have unit collision since it is so slow to cast you can easily pass the release time for using itand it slows him during. or bare with me now his E stun should be quicker so he has a fightng chance at surviving on his Risky engages.
