Is pyke going to be countered by him class?

I mean assasin should be countered by enchanter shield support while at the same time they shouldn't be able to kill the tanky class support. So which class he's suppose to counter? I can only think about healer support eg soraka/nami/sona or poke suppot like brand or zyra but I think that poke mage are way more useful than a assasin support and their damage is halved from base/ult while pike has more damage in his ult than base spell. What do you think a good matchup as pyke?

soraka/nami/sona The very definition of enchanters.

I feel like he will be a meme in the future after his hype dies down. xD only because like you said good luck killing a tank and you being able to even get close to Nami, Soraka, and Sona will be hard. And since he can only heal when not seen by the enemy you could force him out of lane away from XP by warding the lane bushes xD (it may not do much but will affect him in the long run). BUT IF HE DOES get ahead well that will be spicy xD (THAT IS MY THEORY SO IT COULD ALL GO WRONG WHEN HE IS RELEASED)

Pretty much those that Blitz counters? Or those with lesser mobility. Mages will have a hard time against him I think because of his CC.

But blitz can negate instantly via E+R (small cast time) enemy spell which make him a good counter to janna+lulu because he can allow to shut down them before they cast their peeling ability while pyke is suppose to E in after he Q leaving to the opponent the time to outplay him because the Cc is not instantly. Im sure mage will have a hard time to deal with an assasin but at the same time he can get outrange by some of em.

I hear what you're saying but If i recall correctly, you can actually move when the opponent is being grabed by you Q and pulled behind you. Like your Q hits, starts pulling and from that moment you're free to move while the opponent is being pulled...so you could E while the ennemy is in "the air". Not sure at all i'll have to try again. Or maybe you can just let me know if you already know the answer. Zyra is cancer... By the way, if the bush is warded you are still invisible to the ennemy with your W so you can close gaps pretty efficiently. If you get cc'd after failing your W+E though..... it's pretty much over. Again, i'm no expert, i'm not even high elo lol just gets me thinking.
