Why they choose to put Pyke under the "Support" Class Tab instead of the "Assassin" Class Tab

Yes Pyke will play the support "role" by going bot most games, but his playstyle is that of the "assassin" class

LOL Riot really just wants Pyke to be a support.

It's actually kind of funny.

Supports aren't defined as "champ who shields or buffs."

Define support for me and see if Pyke fits that description :P

Supports are anyone with enough utility to be able to function off of limited income, or enough early game power to snowball with an early lead (preferably with some level of utility).

Your job is to either be the utility bot (shields, heals, cc) or provide early kill potential to the lane with some level of mid game consistency (brand, zyra).

champs who shield or buff are called "enchanters," not supports, otherwise you leave out the likes of Leona Nautilus Blitzcrank Zyra

So is Pyke more of a catcher then assassin?

If we go off Rito's classes, Pyke seems like a catcher/assassin tbh.

They made pyke so autofill assasin mains have something to play on supp, but seeing the champ i feel he would be decent as jungle aswell.
