Yeah, Riot Butchered Pyke.

You didn't really balance Pyke you just made him useless. One thing is to try things out by slowly tweaking a champ and figuring out if it works or not and another is to completely reduce the stats of basically every one of his skills besides his R as if you actually knew what you were doing and on top of that you decided to rework his skills. He's a poor design of what Pyke used to be. The nerfing is fine but you guys nerfed everything...

I don't care that you nerfed his E to avoid him from clearing but to nerf his Q and W... What a sloppy intent to "balance" a champ. It feels like you guys just sat down for 5 minutes and made the decision and said yes to the first suggestion someone made at the office.

Meanwhile we have lux support who plays every lane just as good or better, clears just as good or better but doesn't get touched. You guys need to get your priorities straight. Feels like you all nerf champs out of personal spite. Reminds me of all the Shaco nerfs even though no one ever complained that he was op, you guys just did it out of the blue.

It's a buff for support pike.

His W was buffed actually, dunno where you saw nerfs there. His hook Q was buffed as the CD was reduced and the nerfs only affect the stab.

He doesn't need waveclear in a duo lane, and he rarely uses stab Q anyway as sup.

The nerf to his Q was primarily removing the waveclear on it as well...

Lux is a mid lane mage first and foremost, so of course she has waveclear. People who take her bot in the support role of course will have waveclear if they take her full AP like a second AP mage, but if they actually build support, they won't be clearing anything.

She's only popular right now because people are abusing Aftershock on her, which is what needs nerfed, not her. Just fyi.

He cant even cover a lane now because he has no wave clear anymore so hes useless at just about everything aside from fun jukes, everything else is so bad.

So, you are just saying that a hyper mobile execute assassin, should be as powerful as a backline mage? Don't get me wrong, Lux is broken and everyone knows it but why compare pyke who is still viable in support (if you know what the hell you are doing) with something so blatanly broken? It is like you are asking him to become as broken as lux.
