I love League, but when is Pyke regen getting nerfed?

I love League of Legends, it's a great game and I play it daily. However, we need to talk about Pyke's regen. It's completely out of control for a passive. Most champs have average or garbage passives, but Pyke may have the best passive in the game (at least top 3).

Myself and nearly everyone in the community has asked for a nerf on Pyke's regen. Please RIOT, make this happen soon. It's super unhealthy and irritating when you almost kill Pyke, then he leaves and returns back to lane, in seconds, with 80% or more health. This has obvious consequences to a laner who outplays Pyke, but then Pyke returns unharmed and ready for round 2, but you already burned all your HP and resources trying to kill Pyke and it amounted to nothing.

Ultimately, Pyke's passive rewards bad Pyke players and punishes good players going against Pyke. OR, it gives good Pyke players a super unfair advantage against everyone else in the game. Please nerf Pyke's passive, thank you RIOT for your time and hard work.

Pyke has 2 big issues right now

  • His regen
  • How much gold he can generate for himself.

He's a support who can earn MORE gold than farming laners on a role that is supposed to function on low econ

Pyke cannot build health, so he is easily burst down with a full combo from any damage support (not including the ADC.) Additionally, all of his ability damage is skill-shot based, so you can just side-step.

If you want to do something about his passive regen, you can either buy grievous wounds or place better wards to keep vision of him in lane, forcing him to use w (his escape.)

Personally, I don't think the passive regen is that bad. I'm more upset with the absurd amount of gold his ult (that resets) gives. A single kill can bring an 0/5 bot lane back into the game.
