those were not the way to nerf him, all they did was force him into 1 lane but not fix the problem, which is the fact he gives champs FULL kill gold value, ON TOP of assist gold, so if your fighting someone worth 300 gold, and pyke get's the kill with his ult, congratz that will was actually worth 750 gold, pyke gets 300 and you get 450....your getting more then double the gold that the champ was worth....this is where the nerfs need to be applied, not to the rest of his kit

They wanted to get pyke away from solo laning. Instead of nerfing the hp he converts and the time he has to health them back up from his passive, they did these stupid changes.

but that's forcing his role, he was fine being played in other roles imo......

LOL no.

didn't realize you somehow controlled my opinion, pykes only real problem is that his cooldowns get a little short and he provides too much gold advantage

Well me explain it to you. And I'll use small words, because you seem the type to need that. You are wrong. You couldn't possibly be more wrong. Pyke was broken as a solo laner and complete cancer. Anyone with a fully functioning brain could see that.

And that is why he got nerfed. Now you can waste your time crying about it some more, but I guarantee you no one will give your asinine typing any weight on champion balance. So you might as well spend that time getting better as Pyke support or find another champion.

i don;t even play much pyke, i just feel it's unfair to lock a champ into a single role as it's forcing them into a meta, pyke solo lane wasn't really all that op, it was just ppl suck vs assassins, that's why all assassins have to be kept in a state of feast or famine, so ppl stop crying that they need nerfs

They've been saying it for months that they're trying to force him into support. That's his thing. He's a support assassin. Nothing else.

In order to be a melee support, he needs some way to survive poke in a duo lane, but that sustain makes him a terror in a solo lane. It was incredibly difficult to shut him down and prevent him from getting a lead if you can't ever get him low enough to discourage an all in like other assassins.

These changes are good changes, and Pyke should never be anything but a support.

then let's nerf sona/taric, they should never be anything besides support either, while we're at it, let's nerf karma, i don't want her being anything besides support aswell

They did. Sona got nerfed, and does less damage with less movement speed. Karma got nerfed, and likely has more nerfs heading into 9.14 as they are addressing ranged toplaners.

Some champions are designed to be able to go into multiple lanes. Pyke is not one of them.
