So, PBE people... how's Pyke?

I can't use the PBE since complaining is apparently a mortal sin. Is he fun? Can he work as a jungler, or is he tuned to be strictly a support?

He can do every lane tbh, 10/10

he's a lot of fun and I highly recommend first timing him in ranked as soon as he goes live

Nah, I play one norm and THEN I go into ranked. :P

Well balanced, actually

His Ult is grossly overpowered, else he's quite fun and works well in multiple positions

His ult does look silly, yeah. :P

How are his clears? Decent, or kind of like other squishy junglers' early games?

Not to great till tiamat, but ok. Fleet foodwork recommended for extra sustain, and you 100% need precision for the AS anyway. His main power as a jungler would be getting a decent pull on red and then haveing one of the best lvl 2 ganks in the game with a dash+stun aswell as a hook that works as a fling on short ranged(still needs to charge up for that) And past 3, his ganks become pretty absurd with stealth till he's in dash range, like eve with a real dash and more cc, but lower damage.

Just like with every new champ, Pyke will most likely be pretty overpowered during the PBE stage and for a little while after he hits the live servers. I have a feeling that his ult damage might be nerfed a little bit.

I would say don’t play him immediately when he goes to the main servers. You would have a very low chance of playing him anyways, and people won’t really know the best matchups and what not. So it might be a good idea to get some good normal/ ranked games in on your main champ to take advantage of the chaos that a new champ brings.
