Why riot failed to make an assassin support ((for now))

Firstly, pyke is a FUN champion. Do not get me wrong, i love the champ, but with almost every support matchup, he falls short. The only times he doesnt is when the bot lane is a bunch of potatos stewing in a pot. I get that riot wants to make champs based around what isnt in the game, and this is one of those attempts. Fun champ, doesnt need to be a support.

1. Why is pyke failing as support? The reason he is failing at support (at least in solo que) is primarily due to 1) Player attitudes and lack of knowledge and a mix and match of different experiences. This is gonna happen with every champ regardless, but still it applies to pyke very hard here. Whys that? Because player attitudes are not conducive to a well oiled bot lane experience with pyke. You NEED cooperation in order to make pyke work, and with the current attitude around players, when you try to tell someone that what they just did in the moment, is not what pyke can do at that moment, they get VERY defensive and start attacking you thinking your attacking them. The second thing about player attitudes is that everything thinks they are the hero, they think they are the carry and that they need to kill as many people as possible. Its not about the objectives anymore, its about the kills and the KDA (at least in the lower elos). Now with that out of the way, lets move on to pyke himself. So 2) Pyke is a poorly executed assassin support. He is extremely telegraphed for an assassin, he has one really good combo, but thats it, and if you dont land it, your screwed. Cannot get healthy (he literally cannot build hp and get HP in return, he builds hp and gets ad which would be good if his ratios were better). The 2 core issues about pyke is his lack of surviveability and his damage. Right now his damage is too low for his lack of survivability. Either make him tankier, or give him better ratios.

2. How do we make pyke better? I touched on this in the previous paragraph. Hes too squishy and he doesnt have enough damage to make up for that squish. You need to compromise somewhere and right now, he aint compromising nowhere. One way that i think would be pretty good, would be for pyke to have some percentage of damage reduction when exiting stealth OR after he dashes (not both dont ever do that). The second thing i can think of is to change pyke's passive. Allow him to actually build healthy and get tanky but change the passive to be something along the lines of empowered auto exiting stealth scaling off of AD (similar to zix passive).

The other easy way out, is to just buff his numbers, thats about it on that one lol.

Chime in on how you guys think we should make pyke better or what you think could actually be the main issue with pyke.
