Pyke is the only assassin who cant instaburst people in 0.5 seconds and he is weak because of it

This is how damage-focused the game has gotten.

Pyke is the only one of his kind (assassins) without the tools to instantly delete people from full health to dead in 0.5 seconds and he is at like a 42% winrate because of it.

I mean, look at his kit. He has so many things that assassins dont have. He has a hook, camouflage (some assassins have that, but i think its the minority), a stun, and the ability to regen health out of combat.

And his damage isnt even that bad! His ult can kill any squishy below like 40-50% HP and it resets! But, he cant instakill you before you can even react, therefore he is weak and in need of buffs.

Please consider lowering burst in this game. It is breaking balance.

Pyke can do it if he gets enough items. Just that if you're playing him support, he has a lower income and it takes longer for him to come online as an assassin. And it's camouflage that Pyke has, like Eve, Twitch, and Rengo, rather than invis.

Twitch is not an assassin, and only two other assassins have camouflage, thus making it in the minority.

And i just went against both a top pyke and jgl pyke who both needed at least 3 seconds to kill me. The jungle pyke was like 6/1.

Wasn't saying that Twitch is an assassin, nor was I saying that Pyke is broken. He's in a healthy state. If he has the right items and runes, he can hard burst people solo really fast. That said, that's in the late game, and not the early game. Which is something that should be universal for all champs early on.
