My concern about Pyke is that he might be an AD assassin with 2 forms of Hard CC....

Historically, AP assassins are the ones allowed to accsess hard CC Ahri Leblanc Ekko Diana Fizz Evelynn Malzahar.

There are a few AD assassins with CC, but they are generally more on the fighter side of things LeeSin Yasuo Nocturne Pantheon Rengar Shaco XinZhao Vi Vayne

My fear is that Pyke is more of a pure burst assassin like Talon with 2 forms of hard CC.

Thats when shiit gets op busted.

his passive is to gain damage by building HP, so from this we can kind of assume he'll have pretty shitty damages. therefore, he's not going to be very good at executing people if he cant get them low enough himself anyway.

Is he able to build HP? Because if he is, then he's going to be a tank assassin... Not good. General rule is you can either have hp and not damage or damage and not hp...

NO

I think it was worded that he "gains AD based off of bonus HP instead" so no he prolly squishy asf.

OH THAT MAKES MORE SENSE I thought it was... Well, nevermind, Jhin doesn't use his buffs either... He's either going to get reduced hp from items, pure ad and no hp from items, or hp from items and a small bonus ad ratio. Let's hope he's not broken.

also thought replying to your first post that isn't always true though.Darius Garen Kled do tons of damage and are pretty tanky.

That's true, but at the same time they aren't doing assassin kinds of damage (unless they build that, in which case they're a bit less tanky). Darius Garen Kled Don't typically do as much damage as a Talon or Fizz .

You'll probably itemize him like this: item 3069 item 3147 item 3071 item 3812 item 3006 item 3033

My worry about him is that he's a stealth assassin with two forms of hard cc and a resetting execute.

he's probably going to end up relying on base damage and have not-great scaling
