I can't gank this champion man. when I play jungle. his dash is more overloaded than fizz E. why does it stun people? Like that spell makes him so much better than blitz or thresh. if I get on thresh. you know he can't do anything. neight can he do damag e pyke damage is decent. but the problem is the dash. the champion is beyond overloaded.
Illabethe3 votesYou need to time your ganks for when he's burned his skills.
Or..... Jungle 
. He loses all those matchups hands down (can counterplay WW a little)
JarodDempsey2 voteshes completely dependent on his allies to capitalize on his pull+dash stun combo to be effective. Wait for him to burn his dash before trying to engage him just as you would any other mobile champion.
oortoomeebreesuu2 votesIt took me a while to figure out which of Pyke's spells were which since they all do so many things. He really does have way too much going for him under the guise of "but no bonus hp!" when I'm pretty sure nobody likes that design to begin with, and most assassins don't build bonus hp anyway. And to boot, MANALESS, which makes me more upset than anything else.
Honestly, just now looking up the numbers, there's NO REASON his movement speed steroid should be starting at 60% at level one AND scales with bonus AD. That's abhorrent. I'd be fine with the scaling being very high, if the base was only 20-30% at rank 1 and scaled to 50-70% at rank 5.
Blitzcrank's starts at 70%, but conversely, slows him at the end of it (and he doesn't have sustain or a dash, so he needs it - it's thematic with his kit). Mana gates everything blitzcrank does, even his passive. Pyke is getting everything for free - free sustain, free damage, free free free.
Illabethe4 votesPyke's Move speed decays....... from 60% to 0%...... It's not a pure 60%. And a lot of champions purely counter it.
Also, he doesn't get free damage. Even when played as a laner/jungler, he generally maxes out at about 2/3 of the damage of any other laner. I'm someone who often is involved in 27-35 kills a game as Pyke, and usually the prime initiator, and I rarely do more than 22-25k damage to champs. While laners in that same game are rating 34-45k damage.
His cooldowns prevent his damage from being high. His skill's damage scales as if his abilities should be on spam, not high burst.
RuFiot1 votesI hate how people play him, riot need to add him a fap animation like braum has.. so he can spam it while he watches me dying after baiting me in and using his ult only after I'm dead to really secure that ks.
delete shaco1 voteshe actually can’t build bonus health lol what more do you want? He literally can’t function without a burst damage helping him. High mobility isn’t a problem on a champion that can’t 1 shot or burst until like level 16
Also if he didn’t pull you beforehand just sidestep his E just like you probably did with the hook
