Pyke- The New Bot Lane Carry?

It really sucks how bad an dc can be to still win lane against someone because of how broken their support champ is. Can get hit by every ability, every skill shot, and abused as hard as your enemy can possibly throw at you. But, at the end of the day, a full Damage SUPPORT (WHICH IS ENCOURAGED BY RIOT BECAUSE HE SCALES IN LETHALITY) can cast two abilities with an auto to proc electrocute and take someone that typically goes bot, (ADC OR SUPP) to 25% health with ease.

Great Job Riot. I wonder if the requirements to work on the balance team is to regularly smoke meth or inhale paint fumes. Hmmmmm. Would make a lot of sense.

Just go for Pyke first lol

I don't think they ever intended for him to be rushing FH. His tank build got nerfed and his damage build got buffed. That means he risks instant explosion by using e

"just go for pyke first lol" how exactly? He's not only one of the most deadly supports in the game he is also one of the safest. His E and W give him enough mobility to compete against even leblanc. His grey health can completely nullifies what would be good trades so poking him isnt an option either. All of that combined with his pull having a 90% slow tacked onto it leaves blitzcrank as "just a worse pyke".

one of the most deadly supports in the game yet has some of the most delayed attacks as a support. oh look he has a hook that also slows, but in order for the hook he has to charge a long time which also slows him. if you don't see him he is most likely charging a q up from the brush that you've neglected to ward at all. the reason for the grey hp healing mechanic was that he was meant to counter those pesky mage supports in the bot lane so if anything remotely tanky comes by he gets crapped on

That moment when Blitz getting fucked by Thresh wasn't enough, Riot had to introduce Pyke to screw him harder.

Blitz rework when?

Most ADCs and enchanters at level 6, if Pyke has just Relic Shield he will execute at 30% of their HP with his Ult. This seems a little much, skillshot or not.
