I don't care what you tell me or if you list out some strategies that point out ways how he can be used as a Support, this guy is just another hyper-mobile solo laner that's going to be using assassin items most likely.
At least his abilities are pretty cool.
Quiet Dude3 votesHe looks like another kind of roaming support like Bard
Blue Guilmon3 votesI've been masters two seasons playing support, this champion is a evelynn+ talon copy with tahm kench's w weirdly thrown in his passive and thresh's hook and flay on his q but singletarget. I don't think this champion will be played support unless his damage is flat out broken. You gain nothing from having this champion in the support role except kill potential if it exists. The only thing he supports in doing is splitting gold evenly amongst people he kills with his ult (which is probably way better in the jungle than it is in support since you can snowball your lanes and generate twice as much gold). If pyke has ANY way of viably clearing the jungle with the builds that will come out for him he will never be seen in botlane.
FriedDAT NIG1 votesHe actually has decent clear with his q mini aoe and his passive i can confirm. I don't get it he has everything a jungle needs yet riot just thinks giving gold to your allies will make him a support. They don't seem to get that his ult mechanic works with ganks too. I think the only argument for him being a support is that riot named him one you wouldn't even notice if he was released as a jg imo.
MorganFreemanBot2 votesI'm betting he gets defensive and / or offensive scalings with kills and assists. That combined with low ratios will pretty well make him a support. His kit looks like it revolves around stealthing in, grabbing someone and yanking them back, hard CCing them, and then applying AoE hard CC with his ultimate. So I'd be he's going to be a melee range combination of thresh-alistar-kha'zix (exclusively for the short duration invis).
rtbf2256182412 votesIt'd be interesting if he'd be forced to steal kills to secure gold for both players but other than that, i've got no idea what's the jist with his assassin abilities.
FriedDAT NIG1 votesHis numbers are pretty much broken more than enough to be an assassin very much like 
.
SwiftKitten882 votesomg a new straight line skillshot champ?
wow did riot just a release a new champ i want to play.. i got to try him out... damn.
Fear the Kayn2 votesHe can probably play multiple roles, nothing wrong with that.
Aptest2 votesgee, the audio is really bad. the whole "clear your throat" effect makes my throat itch. honestly the audio makes me physically uncomfortable. That's a shame because i really wanted to play this... assuming he is a support.
Sènna Bot1 votesplease can a riot dev or someone do something and fix this train wreck of a champion he isn't a support nothing about him is supportive [sg-janna]

You mean besides the Kenchi-ish passive, Swain hook/Sion ranged slow Q, the Leona style all-in-only stun E, and the ult that gives your ADC more gold the way Zilean gives the ADC more XP? Yeah, you're right his W is not very support focused. ;)
FriedDAT NIG1 votesThose traits are perfect for jg imo like why give a support stealth he won't find it useful in most bot lane scenarios.

Just as a reminder, he regenerates health he lost to enemy champions, not jungle camps
