How tf first of all can a fucking assassin be a support? By having cc abilities like Pyke but the problem is fucking assassins don't have cc abilities and if they do have, they have one not a fucking Blitz pull and a dash that stuns for almost 2 seconds like fucking Riot this champ is not a support clearly and not even an assassin its a chromosomal missing fking engima. Gj Riot.

None of Pyke's kit other than his ult even behaves like an assassin. I've been playing him since he came out and I'm lucky to get in 21-23k damage a game on him, even when I'm 15/1/18. And no. I don't usually kill with his ult. I kill with things like Q's and E's and Autos.

His R is disruptable and often is. Super easy to miss as well. Also requires him or his team to have been in the brawl for too long of a duration to be considered an assassination.

He scares teh hell out of you coming from nowhere and throwing hooks, and then you realize he does crap damage and you take a dump all over him. Very few Pykes have really seemed impressive. I do think the kit is a little all-utility-in-one that could be center for some serious abuses. I personally think the idea of a support assassin is daf. If you want an offensive char that can play support, there are plenty. A specific assassin support just pigeon holes. Although I love seeing a new champ that isn't OP right out the gate like some of the last ones introduced.

Issues with your post.

  1. Its not a blitz Q as it requires windup and does not have the same distance displacement Blitz Q does.
  2. Pykes CDs keeps him reasonable.
  3. As other point out his damage is not inherently strong, again CD on abilitys. He assassinates only with teamamtes or if he gets grossly ahead something that many other supports would be destroying folks 1v1 in as well.
  4. all in all, 1.5 seconds stun when maxed with a 1 second slow after a 550 unit pull. pushing into about 2 seconds of hard cc 1 of soft. Lets look at other assassins. Leblanc 1.5 to 3 seconds of root. Ekko Aoe slow and aoe 1.75 stun. Evelynn 2 second slow, or a 2 second charm with 35% MR shred. Fizz Knock up and 1.5 second slow both on his R plus 2 second slow on his E, aoe. Kayn 1 second knockup or 2 second slow in an aoe. Rengar 1.75 snare potentially followed by 1.75 second slow. Khazix passive 2 second slow, W 2 second slow, R triggers passive for slow. no hard cc but a WEauto Rauto R auto is some 8 seconds of slow goes up to 10 with evolved R. That's a good amount of soft CC mate. Akali aoe 8 second slow. Kassadin 1 second slow. Pyke beats kass in CC hands down. Katarina 0 cc. not how her kit works thou so meh. Zed Aoe 1.5 second slow, can be amped to 90% Still weaker in Cc then pyke but hey also not how Zeds kit works. Talon AOE slow 1 second. Shaco 2 second slow, 1 second fear per box. not super realistic to claim he will stack box CC beyond 2 seconds as many will drop a box when your feared to chain it. so 2 seconds hard cc 2 seconds soft. Nocturne 2.25 second fear.

Conclusion, pykes CC seems pretty standard with assassins CC on the whole. Many have soft CC, many who have Hard CC outperform his E.
