pykes ult is way too rewarding

Reset/extra gold even on just an assist (enemy dies on X), gets to hold the reset for a very long duration (which with his mobility gives a super long time to look to use the reset), ignores shields, and the recent buff w/ the extra gold gen which was so unnecesary.

My proposal is this, He can keep the reset on assist where the enemy dies on the X, b/c of the delay of the ability and the high burst in game (also garen and darius keep their ult if the target dies before the animation finishes so consistency) ill give him that, but no extra gold on assists like this b/c technically the R didnt contribute to the kill so it shouldnt give him gold.

Second nerf the increased gold, pyke ult shouldnt be able to make kills worth nearly triple what they would be. 3rd and 4th Slightly reduce the base damage (at all levels) of his ult but bump up the scaling (whether off lethality or AD) a bit to compensate good pykes who are able to properly utilize the Ult. And 5th Significantly reduce the time he can hold the reset, pyke already has significant mobility tools to look to use the reset, he shouldnt also be able to hold it for twice as long as an immobile melee like darius who has a much harder time looking to use his reset unless enemies are very close.

As Compensation for this- Buff his W duration early, If i remember right he maxes W last, so this would be a nice buff that helps both his roaming and warding/ward hunting. Also I would give W more scaling (more MS/duration per level) so that lategame pyke will be able to quickly move around the map and look for picks.
Secondary compensation buff would be to E, Increase the width of the hitbox slightly b/c i think its currently fairly easy to sidestep, and increase the lethality scaling of the stun duration a bit to reward pykes that use their ult properly and are able to get multiple lethality items.

Personally I hate a lot of the new designs, like Pyke Sylas Qiyana i think their kits are inherently too overloaded for the game because of just how much their abilities can do and that this makes them nearly unbalanceable. But I decided that making an actual suggestion was probably more productive than another thread saying "sylas/pyke/yuumi/quiyana were mistakes"

Literally just revert the buff to his ultimate. It is too rewarding, undo the thing that makes it so rewarding. It's that simple.

If he's still strong after that (which I doubt, because his winrate prior to this buff was about 46-48%) just make the reset duration scale with lethality or hit his grey health so he becomes riskier to play early/in lane.
