If Pyke Not Being Able To Gain Health From Items Is A Downside

As so many people seem to claim, then how about buffing the asassin Zed who I like to play and then ''nerfing'' him by turning any health he buys into AD? after all if it's a downside then giving this ''downside'' to Zed will nerf him which means it makes room to buff him! sounds like a good idea right?

No but seriously I'm tired of hearing it, it's not a downside, you don't play assassin's as tanky or tanks, at most you get health from black cleaver and that's it, only reason tank pyke even worked is because of his insane sustain and kit riddled with CC and a true damage execute that resets

Pyke doesn't do anywhere near the damage that a true assassin does though. He can execute, but is mostly reliant on someone else to get them within execute range.

Your entire argument just makes no sense at all.

Make it where no assassins can build health!

Finally someone who actually knows cleaver is an essential item on pyke

The difference is...

Zed has 31 more base AD than Pyke.

So even though they build similar items, YES. it is a comparable downside, simply because Pyke doesn't have the AD Zed has. He also doesn't have multi hits.

It's a pretty fucking big down side. 1: The main reason for it is so he can't build tank, like tank pyke was the strongest version of pyke we have seen even with him not gaining hp from items imagine how fucking broken it would of been if he got the hp.

2: Most assassins can build both item 3071 and item 3053 with gives a good amount of hp. ALSO THE MAIN REASON YOU GET BLACK CLEAVER IS THE HP AND CDR and pen is the secondary. Zed is basically the only assassins that can easily stack it, most assassins will get like 4 stacks and pyke will get 3 stacks. Like item 3036 gives more pen without needing to stack it and with about the same amount of ad.

Like black cleaver sucks on pyke it does basically nothing, you only want it if the enemy has a lot of armor. Pyke's build is lethality and bruiser items that don't give hp like GA or a tank item.
