Pyke gets nothing at all from leveling up his W.

Seriously, every rank you put in it only decreases the cooldown by 0.5 seconds, and it's not like he uses the ability on cooldown.

I think it would be a good way to nerf him, change the cooldown from 12/11.5/11/10.5/10 to 14/13/12/11/10 and change the movement speed from 40% at all ranks to 30/35/40/45/50%. This way his roaming potential is cut quite a decent amount in the early game, but he'll still feel rewarded if he puts ranks into the ability.

Thoughts?

Not a bad idea, but roaming is his whole schtick.

I'd much rather hit his in-lane sustain and make his mistakes more punishable early instead of regenerating 50%+ of all damage taken from levels 4-10.

They should revert it and remove the Lethality scaling. Half a second of CD from leveling it just doesn't cut it.

What if Pyke gained 3 AD per rank?

I have a theory that Pyke and Lucian are allowed to be obnoxiously overpowered for the sake of diversity.

How about scaling the bonus move speed from 30 to 40 as you rank up?

Pyke could use an early game nerf and you'd get more for your investment. Win- win

There are a lot of skill that simply don't get anything out of being ranked up. Like Sona's speed boost or Illaoi's Harsh Lesson.

Boo Hoo.

They should gut that piece of shit champion and leave him in the dumpster, not buff him.
