I feel like if Pyke's execute was more like Darius's he'd be much healthier

What there's a new support out? Cool I'm still gonna ban Pyke instead, the only support that's actually broken (actually Thresh is pretty busted too, so we got 2 supports). With Darius if you want the maximum damage from your ult you need to auto or land your abilities a few times, so it's more fair IMO. With Pyke, if you have 1/3 hp or lower he just kills you, AND he has stealth too so it's harder to avoid it. It's also easier to get the execute since you can just pull anyone who's not close enough. Yes I'm aware you can do this with Darius too but the range on his pull is much shorter.

You forget that you can actually dodge pyke's ult vs Darius. You also forget that Darius can stay in the middle of a fight for way longer than pyke. You also forget that Darius passive gives him a shit ton of AD at 5 stacks. You are comparing two champions with completely different goals and win conditions and somehow coming with "just have this other champions ability work like this one random champion" without taking into consideration the entire kit of each champion and why each work the way they currently do.

Thank you. I mean even look at it from a lore perspective. Pyke is a weird ghosty person and is going to sneak in for the kill. He isn’t a warrior who sits battling his foes.

Darius is bruiser. He has the survivability and tankiness to apply his passive. Pyke is an assasin he needs ro execute priority targets QUICKLY and get out. He is squishy like paper as he cant get health from items.

Decently sure Darius and Pyke ults do very similar damage especially with Darius at 5 stacks of his passive (which btw gives him 30-230 AD so another 50-400 damage) with Pyke having to go full damage to do the same.
