Pyke's pull doesn't need a 90% slow attached to it.
He already has way too much in his kit. His pull, which is as good as every other pull if not better, doesn't need a slow as well as a knock up as well as a pull back.

Pyke pull is the weakest of all pulls and don't pretend it isnt. You get pulled by a Blitz at a much greater distance, at a much faster speed, while being instantly knocked up. Naut pulls you from a similar distance but then not only snares you with his long distance auto but then applies a slow, and god forbid he is 6 because then it becomes a knock up. And thresh. Thresh lands a Q, that pulls your in slightly, then flays you even closer in while applying a slow.. and then boxes you for an even longer slow.
Pyke is VERY overloaded and needs his sustain and damage nerfed more but don't you dare pretend his only skillshot is the issue when he has a fucking execute reset ultimate jesus christ I hate that champion.
His pull, which is as good as every other pull if not better
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no. Out of the 4 hook supports Pyke has by far the worst hook. Blitzcrank or Nautilus undoubtedly has the best pull in the entire game with Thresh somewhere between those two and Pyke. Pyke has the most telegraphed and least distance pulled hook in the game.
He has one if not the easiest fucking hook in the game to dodge while also being one of the weakest like it doesn't do much damage, it doesn't pull someone far, and it has a pretty average range for a hook.
Yeah it is needed stop ignoring facts.
I hate to say the truth to people who literally just hate Pyke for existing. Most of you (fucking mages) got the same cancerous kit. So a slow for 1 sec is fine...
Imagine getting hit by a telegraphed hook that requires a charge up to actually use from ranged, and yet you think he doesn't deserve to have it set up the rest of his kit. That'd be like saying that Blitzcrank shouldn't be able to knock you up immediately, or that Thresh doesn't deserve to fly to your face when he lands a hook.
His pull is not as good as other champions. He simply has more ways to put himself into the position to be able to hook people, be it his dash or Invisibility. The thing however, is that he sacrifices his only other CC if he uses his dash, or he actively broadcasts to anyone nearby "HEY, I'M COMING TO KILL YOU". The only time the slow matters is if you're trying to run from a gank and he pulls you, which even if he used both his invis and dash to get to you, you got hooked, you deserve to be punished.
Neither does Duskblade..
You Forget that 
LITERALLY IGNORES MINIONS ???
at least has to clear few minions or try to sneak it in
but tbh almost 80% of every supp that i played with or against just hides in a bush and tries to hook the like a coward
IMO with a champ like Pyke, you are better off removing how incredibly safe he is. If pyke is all about the big playmaking slam dunks from the support position, then he shouldnt be one of the safest champs in the game.
For instance, Pyke has the highest base armor at level 18, getting 15 more than Braum and 20.1 more than Rammus. On an assassin who isnt going to build armor, but runs aftershock, meaning that he has around 200 armor when he goes in.
You could rework how grevious wounds and ignite work with his passive, as right now it doesnt reduce how much he heals, only slows how much he heals, which doesnt matter because he is camouflaged and 1500 units away from you. If Pyke takes a bad trade in lane and the opponent uses ignite, it should force him back to base, not for him to return 5 seconds later with 70% health.
For a champ with such potential for his team, he is so incredibly forgiving
Lol what's up with everyone on boards hating pyke,the champ it's not even good
Imma pyke main and im happy with pyke right now tbh.
