Ok, seriously, why does Pyke warn the enemy of hiw presence way before he gets in vision range?

He already has a very largedetection radius, so why does the enemy get a warning when you go camuflage half a map away from them too?

This really cripples the Champion, the only times I was ever ganked by a pkye was when I wasnt paying attention, all other times its just "Oh look sharks, that means pyke is somewhere around, but still far enough away that I can just casually go to my tower and chill until hes gone!"

Really, no other Champion has such a self crippeling mechanic... Why Pyke? Hes not even that scary overall, so why make him even weaker by allowing the enemy to see he is coming from a mile away?

Pyke isn't supposed to engage enemies without detection is why. It's an MS buff that procs his healing passive. And he can use it to escape enemies as needed.

They can hide in a bush and still be detected.

Bad pykes dont put enough points into W for mobility.

I don't think it's a bad idea on it's own, but I don't think only Pyke should have to deal with it. Twitch for example definitely should have it, as his attack range is way past his detection range anyway

It has a small detection radius and gives him speed and a passive. Pyke needs no buffs

Small? That is SMALL for you? you can see him way before he is in range to even dash into AA range with his E WITHOUT positioning it for a stun...

If Pykes detection radius is small, what do you call Twitch?
