It just gives too much. He's going to get nerfed into the ground so that he can keep his gimmicks. I don't have feelings either way about it since he's just a generic revenge murderer with no real character to him, so there's no way to really feel attached to him.
OurLestrade1 votesIt's a shame with his character really, the teaser sold him as a bit of a nutter but he's honestly just a random bloke who's a bit grumpy. Him and Kai'sas non-personality make this year very weak in the character side of things, although to be fair Swain's badassery balances it out in some ways.
I was eager with him being a support who wasn't a little kid, pixie, or naked woman made for Rule34, but even I was pretty disappointed with what we got. Feels like someone cosplaying what we were supposed to get.
ISeeDumbPeople1 votesperfect op to make him like deadpool... and missed it =p.
Azadethe1 votesTbh Pyke has serious counters/lack of agency when people are playing the game correctly. He simply can't survive in a 1v2 or worse environment. He HAS to have a team, and even then..... his damage output is challenging. And often.... when he does go in with a team..... he dies before his E even activates. I can literally line up a E to stun an entire team, and by the time I'm on the other side of them..... running away to W away and heal.... I'm dead to all their phantom hits which occured before the stun took place.
His HP cap is a major problem, because he can't even have decent HP until level 16-18, whereas other players can just buy it. By level 11 or so on a Mage, I have 2900 or so HP. On Pyke..... level 11... 1565 HP. By level 11..... other players can just melt 1565 HP.
So no. He rarely gets to use his ult enough to matter. I maybe can get off 1-2 Good ults per game. The others get blocked by:
Sudden Heals
Zhonya's
Flash
Any Dash
CC
's current popularity
just destroying his engage/kit damage
Body invasion.
All this crap happens as soon as someone sees Pyke attempt a R. And in many cases, if Pyke waits and doesn't attempt that R, he's dead pre ult.
He also sucks balls vs a runaway 
, which is about every game now.
He's already heavily nerfed. It's hard for him to even get off more than 1100 damage in a full skill exchange with champions. After you're done skilling, most targets still have a need for 3-4 more auto attacks just to get to R range. That's horrible. And that's even when full built.
Seriously doubt he will get another nerf.
